Hello. :-)

Everyone patched up and out of the slammer? Good.

It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? First dragons that were intended to end a world, now political conflicts between parties and the compelling mystery as to WHY??? the whole MISSING SUN thing, and WHO STARTED IT?? thing, etc etc. Oh- and there's also that nagging little question of what's going to happen if we do succeed in the way that we're meant to. (Insert question marks here) But forgot that for now, we can do the whole "share your multiversal anecdotes" later.

[ goblins, humans, goblin-human conflict and everything else in between. there's still fuel on the fire and a conflict and a sun missing. he's wondered if their presence here was enough to sway the tides of fate in ALASTAIR's favor, and that's left him with nothing but a sour taste in his mouth. ]

Alas, here's the thing! Despite the mission, we're still all on our own. :'( But all's not lost! I'm here to offer a little tidbit that I found rifling through some paperwork that someone oh-so-fortunately left out in the open. I just happened to be glancing over. [ "happened to." ]

There have been some very curious disappearances. 4, in particular.

With all the talk of sacrifice I thought it may be preferable to find these people and, well, possibly who took them and where they've gone. You know, saving them from the whole maybe-but-we-don't-know sacrificial death thing. It sounds very unpleasant, and with a possible worrisome outcome.

[ he's never really been much of a team player, but getting the brunt of the blame if someone's sacrificed generally wasn't in his best interest. ]

Now, where to do with these names? Ideas? Comments? Concerns? I'll leave the floor open.

So you linked these rumors to the disappearances? Why? Human sacrifice is not the only reason people disappear.

There were a few that went missing that day, too. The crowd thinned and it was marked with a warning and/or threat. It's an assumption on my behalf, but let's just say that whether or not it's a rumor, it may lead to the same place.

One will just be less violent, thankfully. Let's hope for the less violent one.

[dailydouble]

But you went for the more violent interpretation. I suppose I see your reasoning.

[ Even if he thinks it was stated in a very sensational way. ]

It does have a tendency to demand attention.

[ and it's certainly made people listen to him. ]

[dailydouble]

How irritating. I have rarely met a god who cares for that sort of sacrifice, when the party involved is unwilling.

I didn't even know sacrifice was still a thing. A little on the barbaric side, isn't it? I suppose not everyone can be sated with condiments & a few good vinyls.
There are always THOSE types, and the multiverse is a big place.

It's too bad that we can't simply ask them to finger sandwiches and tea.

[dailydouble]

It is occasionally a 'thing', in my own world. We usually put a stop to it, when we find it.

Unless it's Lil, but then she only eats the willing.

Best to nip that in the bud.
Erm- except for those that ask nicely, I suppose.

Are you familiar with the goblins' faith?

[dailydouble]

Their goddess is a peaceful one. I have doubts about her encouraging sacrifice such of this, but then she does not speak to them directly.

I find it more likely that this is the work of outlying elements, either human or goblin.

[selfimage]

Or both, perhaps.

There also may be a god that we're not aware of.

[dailydouble]

You always say the most encouraging things.
