the reflections of a dovahkiin in Saskatoon

Gin and djinn are pronounced the same way. Both are spirits in a bottle.

girlfriend: why don’t you take off that battle armor and slip into something a bit more…..comfortable

me: i am most comfortable when i am impervious to most physical forms of attack

Like father like son

Steve came to visit today... how did that ass find me? And to break into Antares home to boot. Alot of questions were going to be coming from that situation. Just when we thought it was bad enough... a centaur attacked. And he wasn't alone either. Steve opened the door and almost got us killed, but I closed it easily enough. Antares true to form had an escape plan. He got Steve and himself out. I stuck around to learn about the enemy. The guys name is Thunderhoof, and I told him to hoof off... I am so clever. Doing the yard work Hoof went mad and ran off. Hoof kidnapped Steve.. this cannot be let slide. We chased him across the nevernever and Canada to boot. Omg! Robert is healed... what did Steve do? What price did he pay? The summer assassin... interesting price... Atleast Robert is okay. I hope Steve stays away from Saskatoon.

Bearding the badger

This morning started great. The assassin attacked again. I will kill him. Jirou summoned the faerie and bound him in a deal… should have just finished him. Funny story though, apparently Kiya has ties to a goldmine started up north, and we get to go for a tour. Update: we got a tour and one guy was flipping out about this creature in the mine… of course we checked it out. Turns out the mine owner trapped some powerful demon in the mine shaft. After some work and someone getting a tip, we were able to release the demon on the owner. Taste of his own medicine.

All that i Owe

This was a crazy week. Not only did i find out one of my friends owns a circus now, we get to go to LAS FREAKING VEGAS! While i can get my armor through customs, i needed an excuse to wear it in public. I convinced Anteries to buy my weekend pas at wizard con this upcoming weekend. Never know when the baddies will attack. I would love to say the flight went smooth... but magic. Not only did they have to switch our plane in North Portal, they lost my armor in checked luggage. I feel naked without it. Jerks better be giving me travel vouchers for this. We got a sweet hotel, and Felix let us onto the fact that the circus, now his, has some serious debt to pay. If we can return a cheater to a casino here, he can have the debt cleared. Sounds fair. The circus is more than just for giggles, except when Kiya got locked in a box for chatting up the performer... that was funny. They also gave us intel on the cheater. Nika and I went to a dive to scout the place, but the bouncer wouldn't let Nika in. He let me pass, but only after he left me feeling disheartened. Weird fellow that one. Inside was depressing, and not just in aesthetic. The atmosphere left me thinking of Robert. I had to get out. Enough about that. The group snuck back in with our intel, and we grabbed the guy. Deal done, and we all get to go home. Never did go to the con. And with that, i pour one more drink. A toast to memories best left forgotten.

Save a child today

Gaspar was called to help a coworker with a missing child. According to the mother, the child wasn't at school when she arrived to pick him up. Schools said the kid was picked up by the father. Funny, the father was working the farm prepping for spring. She tried the police, but King was useless, so we called and got him at least interested. Turned out, thanks to king's knowledge, that this was not the only case of abduction recently. We need to act fast to save the kids. Kiya and Jirou lead us on a chase halfway across the city, following footsteps and an odd fishy smell. Something was definitely fishy about this disappearance. What creature can look exactly like another man? Eventually we stumbled onto an old bunker. For the safety of the reader, i wont say where. With a gentle suggestion from my heel, the door opened for us. We went through and checked room by room. The owner had left a few traps for us and a few taunts carved into the structure. Jirou was not happy with what they said. "Its all your fault" "Kaki you should not have come" and such. We eventually found the kids, and an adult. The poor guy was so injured, he died at the surprise of rescuers. Poor man, though it hit Alphonse the hardest. we freed the survivors, and worked our way out. I did set off one trap to clear our path, and am glad i did at a safe distance. A bomb filled with acid is no way to contain children. Who is this asshole? We got the kids out just as King arrived. We never did find the culprit, but i hope he knows to stay away.

Always bet on black

Constable King visited today, asking about my friend Jiro. What trouble did he get into now? Talked with my roommate and we need to get the group together.

Update: there are vampires in Saskatoon. They want Jiro dead. We are to meet them at the old Victoria bridge. We are readying for war. Update 2: I don’t think I should post anymore on tonight’s events… sorry guys.

Myself revealed

I am starting to feel safe with these people. Kiya and Nika may not always see me as valuable, but to hide I needed to appear the fool. I know they are onto me. My past will chase me. I know he is coming. If I can just use this cover a little longer, I might escape. I long to speak with my friends in earnest truth, and one day I will. I did not mean to hurt my best friend in Calgary, and in keeping my secret, i might hurt more friends. I pray to the eight to not lose these good people in this.

Winter's inexorable march

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Found that out the hard way… who makes poison donuts anyway? That tricksy daedra will die.. when next we meet. This was quite the adventure with my host and roommate Anteries. I keep getting to see stranger and weirder monsters. Still none who hold my power. The search continues. We ran into goat gruffs. Like from the children’s stories… but with guns. We almost lost Jiro, but we stood up to them and won. I almost lost a friend today. We are foolish. These are our lives we gamble with. Who gave us this charge? Are we really responsible to protect the innocent bystanders? I guess the better question; If not us with power, then who?

[lokir-windcaller]

Who am I?

Running from my home wasn't as hard as I expected. I suppose it hasn't been a home for some time. Not since he moved in. But enough of that old man. Here in Saskatoon I have more important worries. These people I have met, they don't seem to question my gifts. It is comforting to be welcomed in, with little to no strings. Alphonse and I shared a little of ourselves the other day. What he sees in me scares me deeply. Maybe the question isn't who I am, but what am I?

When you look into the abyss

Working at the forge is hard work. Hearing your friends are In danger and having to wait for the bus is harder. When I arrived on site Kiya was being rude again… but seemed to handle the ant-men well enough Oh did I forget to mention there were myrmidons!!! And we went to their realm?! Had to trade my armor for my freedom, but it was a small price. Alphonse almost didn’t have a choice, but some quick words from Kiya saved him. Our little mess is starting to work well together. I look forward to hanging out with my friends again.

Love the skin you are in

Omg Omg Omg wendigos are real!!! Due to the very rash actions of my friend Jirou, we faced a wendigo in a dairy queen. Who knew fire could hurt such a horrifying beast? The creature reminds me a lot of the lycanthropy victims I knew in my days of youth. I am still coming to terms with the death that monster. That was a boy, and… not. We moved on and ‘saved’ a girl in a house, but I wonder if her fate was really better. Does the silence of death weigh less than the misery of feasting on your fellow man and remembering?

Missed Connections

One of my new friends stumbled upon a dire scene. I cannot speak of the details for they still scare me. Sadly one poor sap lived through that violence, corrupted by a dark power. A demon was summoned to help a fool pass a class. What idiot would deal in blood with daedra for such a simple task? If it was not ignorance I may have killed the fool myself. The daedra worked strange magics to grant strange luck, when not outright killing the boys troubles. Though the daedra could play a mean Mario cart. We found a way ( of which still confuses me why we didn't kill it) to send it away. One day it will haunt us I am sure. They always do

Those who run toward

Life sure is interesting around my new friends. Who could have known that constructs fade to ooze or that the daedric realms are so easily breached? The trees in that realm are too twisted for words. It hurt at first, but my mind soon found ground in the realms. I hope not to have to return soon. I will rest easier knowing the daedra that stole my mentor’s power died this day. Who leashed him I do not know. I will find him though.
