All This Shit is Weird: The Weirdening

[neverheardofhim]

You ever think that someone is writing our lives, and we're part of some comedy shitshow that the gods are playing out? If that's the case, then I'd like to have a talk with whoever's in charge.

Shadow demons? I can name at least five Thedosian books that played it better. Caught up on feelings and regrets toward people? There are better ways to damage a person. I can think of twenty bad memories that we didn't even touch on.

That's why, if you want good plot twists and thrilling concepts, you should subscribe to Tentacles and Shields publishing. This month we'll be producing a story about last month: The Shadow and its Paramore. Stay tuned for details.

Sounds pretty closed minded, if you ask me.

[neverheardofhim]

Nothing you can't handle, I'm sure.

[neverheardofhim]

Yes, yes and a little.

I'm a man of many talents, my friend.

[neverheardofhim]

They need people like us. Wars wouldn't be won if not for minstrels and writers of epic tales. We commemorate the deeds of the fallen, and inspire hope in young soldiers that tomorrow the next song or story will be about her.

[neverheardofhim]

So.
What's the problem here

[neverheardofhim]

Probably a god you've never heard of.
This place has a lot of those.

The Maker and Andraste, if you really are curious, though.

[neverheardofhim]

Can't risk losing the details, now can we?

[neverheardofhim]

They were assholes.
Wanna be more specific?

[neverheardofhim]

I tend to joke about everything, Spades, even before it's over.

You doing okay?

[neverheardofhim]

You must be new here.

[neverheardofhim]

Don't remind me.
I don't even want to think about "going home" at this point.

[tearsinajar]

I think about it all the time.

[shashka]

Give me a summary of one of the other books you have. I want to know if they're really worth buying.

[ hey... it was something to do. ]

[sketchycharacter]

if you get someone else to illustrate it we're not friends anymore

[prorenataa]

Did I?

[nishizono]

i don't have to be new to find your sales pitch weird. and it's weird.
we have bodyswitching where i'm from and this is fucking weird.

[businessinfront]

You're seriously writing romance novels about THAT?

[sleepdarts]

I was curious. There are many things all of us haven't heard of being here.

[shadowblends]

really? a lot of people seem to make jokes when they get defensive, but i feel like they're simply part of your character.

better than i was. [cryptic!!] i'm trying to avoid the lingering tension from the aforementioned shadow being fallout.

And here I though this was going to be a heartfelt moment involving a peroration designed to move the audience to tears. Instead it's a promotion...I want to be surprised, truly, but I am finding it difficult.

[warandpeace]

I do more mission work than lyrical, now. I guess the inspiration waned.

I've been trying to get it back.

[Which is important, since he rejected so much of himself for so long.]

[A belayed reaction as she tries to figure out this holographic pane of letters once and for all. (Never mind how she knows what a hologram is but not a keyboard)]

I can;t be more specific. I don't know what you mean.

I just got here, and apparently you tell stories. so tell me one.

[...Good enough for now.]

[cockade]

[The face he's making... though he has to breathe out and understand that he's taking this too seriously.]

I suppose not. Are you sure it's going to sell well?

[a_shadow]

Now that you have absolutely right.

However, I don't think any of those shadow things would have come across as very sexy.

Beautiful young woman is chased out of her home by a deadly disease. She takes refuge in a foreign and angry city that wants to eat her alive. Instead, she bends it to her will and becomes its Champion, working tirelessly to save it from itself.

It's got action and adventure, with the benefit of being absolutely and completely true.
