AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

[Silver Moon]

OOC: Looks like we're snowed in for the next couple of days. And for a change, none of the five of us have anywhere we have to be until next Monday. So I'll be around to post, although will be taking many long breaks from the computer to also do family things. Post away.

"It's never too late for romance!" Abby laughed. "Mrs. Parker and her husband provide a daily example of that. Good for her. Russia is another place that must be fascinating. Of course, I think most cultures are fascinating. Perhaps some day I'll even travel into Asia."

Maracita says, "Well, if you are an archaeologist who isn't fixed on a specific geographic location then there is no reason why you can't travel the globe." Pepe says, "The world is a very interesting place. I have been to all seven continents. But after a few decades of travel, I am now just as happy to spend most of my days on a farm in the country." Maracita laughs, "Says the man on his way to a night on the town in the world's busiest city."

You will be an amazing Queen, Nerfeka."

Neferka smiles and says softly so that only Ruby can hear, "I know that I will, and not just because Bast showed us that vision from three-dozen years into my future. All my life I have examined all of my father's choices and quietly kept to myself how I could have done better with this or that.

I am far from perfect, but my shortcomings are well counter-balanced by the strengths of these three men who you have met, Ahmed, Barrister Sefu and Lieutenant Colonel Hassan. In terms of a game I am always focused on a positive offense. Ahmed will be able to advise me of modifications to an offensive strategy, while Sefu and Hassan will focus on the defense, and protect me where I leave myself exposed. And then there is also the High Priestess Sabah, whose advice will be immeasurable. Collectively, we will make Egypt one of the greatest nations on earth."

"....So let us do what we must to move forward. I suppose we were just in the right place at the right time."

Neferka says, "The goddesses surely had a hand in this. Between Bast and Aphrodite, we have been well watched over. And your George is now linked to both of them."

Maracita laughs, "Says the man on his way to a night on the town in the world's busiest city."

"Just because someone enjoys a quiet country life doesn't mean they don't like a little excitement now and then." Abby laughed again. "I've had a little more excitement than I can take the last few days, a night on the town will be like a vacation.

What do the two of you plan to do in the City of Lights?"

 

[Silver Moon]

"What do the two of you plan to do in the City of Lights?"

Maracita says, "You can call it the City of Lights, I prefer its other nickname, the City of Love. Pepe and I always enjoy the city. It's a very cosmopolitan place, where those of us of other races can still find comfort."

Pepe says, "We neither hide or flaunt our differences. Outside in public we wear hats that cover our ear-tips, but other than that we are just ourselves, no magical disguises or any such nonsense."

Maracita says, "Tonight I think we will go to the Cabaret le Ledu on the Champs-Elysees. It has a different feel than the Moulin Rouge or the Folies Bergere. A little bawdier and attracting a more diverse mixture of classes and races in the audience."

"Huh, I hadn't thought of that, you're right. A couple years ago I would have never guessed I would have anything to do with any gods, let alone be helping more than one of them. Funny how life is like that."

OOC: We're getting ready for the blizzard, so we'll be running around today but it looks certain we'll be snowed in. Tomorrow should be a great day for posting for us!

"That sounds like home. New Orleans has people of every kind from everywhere, and the clubs there... I shocked some of my new compatriots with my familiarity with them. I wish it were perfect there, but I've never seen another place where races and classes mix so freely. I suppose it wouldn't do for Cal to be seen in such a place.

Are the differences between races so noted here?"

 

[Silver Moon]

"Are the differences between races so noted here?"

Pepe says, "There is very little racial diversity in most places in France. The population for France is 90% human, with most of the non-humans being dwarves in north-eastern France near the German border. The French cities of Metz, Stasbourg and Thionville actually have dwarven majorities. Whereas Spain conquered Latin America, there are some elves brought back who live near the Spanish/French border. That is about all.

Paris however, has its own conclaves of elves, ogres and orcs if you know where to look. I even have a friend here who is of the bugbear race from Antarctica. And in mages circles elves and half-elves are not at all unusual to come across. So Paris is generally safe for us, at least in the neighborhoods that we frequent."

"Huh, I hadn't thought of that, you're right. A couple years ago I would have never guessed I would have anything to do with any gods, let alone be helping more than one of them. Funny how life is like that."

She replies, "Ruby, while the majority of the people on this world believe in their own personal deities, and those of the clergy dedicate their lives to them, very few of us are blessed enough to actually encounter them. We are fulfilling a special destiny, which I believe is a mixture of divine providence and individual self-determination. What about you? I would guess that you strongly believe in Aphrodite, but even she won't be telling Ruby West what to do."
