[QUOTE="Brother MacLaren, post: 3584726, member: 15999"] "Hey Bloodstorm, why is it that of all the crazy monsters in the world, we almost always run into the ones that we can beat after a tough fight, no matter how much more skilled we've gotten? I mean, what happened to all the goblin raiders that used to attack us when we were riding somewhere?" "I don't know. Maybe it's something about us. Did you know that Moonbow has three times the wealth of any of the wizards that she considers her peers?" "Huh. And why do you think it is that we sometimes just know we should trust the new guy who wants to join us. Is that a sign from the gods?" "Might be. But the new guys are always so odd, aren't they? Weird skills that we've never heard of. And they're always just as powerful as us, only where were they the last 10 times the kingdom needed saving?" "And don't you find our luck a little extraordinary? Aren't there times when you were sure you were done for and then felt like you were given a second chance?" "Yeah, I wonder if that happens to everybody or just to us." "How about that time we were shipwrecked and lost everything, only to find a whole hoard of stuff in that abandoned crypt that just happened to be on that island?" "It's almost like someone's looking out for us, making sure we stay powerful." "A good thing to, because I was about to kill myself." "Well, if you had, I'm sure somebody else would have appeared on that island to take your place." Now THIS, when characters recognize the weirdness and comment on it (like Buffy characters noticing that Dawn gets in trouble on Tuesdays) seems to be postmodernism to me. Could be funny for a short time, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
