In the name of board games

[aestrix]

Raezenoth has spoken to his priests and his acolyte, and they have been informed that the manifestation of their god is going to be away for a little while. He has Godly Duties to attend to. Godly Duties meaning playing strategy games with this mortal he met over a multidimensional forum he can access through his godly powers. He's still not entirely sure how that works, but hey, it let him learn to play chess, and then play chess. He really can't complain.

He sits at the top of a mountain in his domain (the view is nice) and waits. Sometimes he can be very patient.

"Lucky me!"

"At least it gets you out of the basement."

"True. And I might be flying out there again to entertain one or more other such visitors."

"Who else, besides the demon you have a crush on and the god of board games?"

[thisvorlunatic]

"The elven fugitive who might want to check over Simon before he does his magic ritual, and the language-impaired fantasy creature I might be giving some magic to because she had to go into exile to protect her fellow kobolds from potential interdimensional incursions."

"Your life is strange. The fugitive isn't going to decide to settle here, right? This being Barrayar and the fugitive being an elf."

[thisvorlunatic]

"The fugitive will not decide to settle here, I'm pretty sure. If she shows tendencies in that direction I will explain that this is Barrayar and she would not find it welcoming. But I honestly don't think I could entice her away from her rebellion if I tried. It's heavy stuff, that totalitarian elven government she's trying to overthrow."

[middlingalong]

"Totalitarian elves. Exciting."

[thisvorlunatic]

"Very. You probably don't want to know the details."

[middlingalong]

"Since I'm not well-poised to novelize it and make a million marks, no."

Snort.
