@melanen
What if Mel had come to last week's story circle/slumber party? What kind of story would he have told?
S: I bet...M: SILENCE, YOU!Mara: Dada goo stawee!Zedai: Yay yay!M: I know not the context, but I could perhaps provide fables.D: Don't look at me. My money is on Melanen the Destroyer stories.Zedai: Mel strawn!
What's Melanen's greatest worry right now?
Mel: Hmmm....
Dal: I bet you gotta list.
Mel: I do not LIKE sitting here, on the sideline. I worry for my friends, accused of terrible things. I worry for my daughter.
Mara: Dadeeeee!
Mel: I WISH TO DO HARM TO THOSE WHO HARM MY FRIENDS!
Sol: Well, sadly, at this point, you have considerably greater concerns.
Dal: Y'friends are onna move.
Mel: How is it that you know this sort of thing and I do not?
Dal: *CENSORED* you, I know *CENSORED*.
Mel: FINE! Where to?
Dal: Surwich.
Mel: I will grab my gear, and we will go and smite the people that bother them!
Dal: Y'mind if'n I point something out? You're a father, Mel. You don't get to ride off on a moment's notice anymore. I do not get to ride off on a moment's notice, thanks to the fact that I have a beautiful baby girl right here, you're adorable yes you are.
Zedai: Dadee!
Mel: I cannot abandon them! I WILL NOT!
Dal: So, don't. But ask yourself this - you know how close Surwich is to the portal. Are you prepared to expose your daughter to that? Because I know for damn sure Roksana is going with you if you walk into that mess, and that means Mara too. Think on that. If you decide to go, lemme know. They'll need a cook, I betcha.
Where is Melanen staying these days?
Dal: He gotta a nice little place in Nagrand, built wit 'is own hands.
Mel: You flatter me, dragon!
Sol: He's actually not, you know. The fact that this thing has two floors and can support our weight is something of an achievement. As well as all the stomping around you do.
Roksana, distant: AS WELL AS OTHER THINGS!
Dae: Why are you blushing, Mel?
Where's Melanen been lately?
Dal: You know...
Mel: Not a word from you, dragon!
Sol: Hahahahahaha!
Dae: Mel has been here, teaching me Draenic, as well as trying to help me remember things. He has also been tending to the raising of Maraasiel, and contending with the worries of his wife. I would call it enjoying the calm before the storm.
Dal: Yeh.. ain't long before somethin' goes wrong, I know.
What is the last thing that made Melanen smile? What if this question specified "that wasn't Mara"?
All four adults, in unison: Mara.
Mara and Zedai, in unison: Eeeeeeeeeeee!
Dae, quietly: You realize he specified 'that wasn't Mara'.
Dal: Yeah, but we kinda had to say it.
Mel: After Mara, I would say the last three things that made me smile were my last sparring match with the dragon, seeing Roksana in the morning, and the fact that Dae can now put together full sentences in Draenic! As a child, I grant, but he is progressing!
What's one of Melanen's favorite treats?
Dal: Hahahah... Mel treats! Here Mel! C'mere Mel!
Mel: Bah...
Sol: You cannot still be sulking over that last incident.
Dal: Thinkin' he might be.
Sol: Gah. Quit pouting, Mel.
Mel: Fine, fine! I will remember this at Winter Veil, though! I favor the kind of sweet treats the dragon enjoys making, in point of fact. The cookies!
Sol: Yeah.. Mel can definitely be a devourer of cookies. A cookie monster, if you will.
A blue faced teenage draenei girl shows up at Mel's door with a squirming red panda in her arms. "Hi, I'm Haevah - and this is Sunny. He's not usually so squirmy!" Vah struggles with the panda for a moment.
At the knock, a yell can be heard within. “DRAGON! Get the door!”
"Yeah, yeah, I’m comin’.." A blood elf, lop-eared and beat up and in loose leather robes, opens the door. Mara lays on his head, making wooshing noises and holding her arms out. There's a brief, perhaps awkward pause.. "You... Here for the littles or for Mel?"
I asked of Zrimgor what he would be doing with himself if he never became a death knight.... what would Melanen do with herself if SHE became a Death Knight?
All: ...
Dal, Sol: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Mel: CURSE YOU BOTH! DID YOU PUT THEM UP TO THIS!?
Dal: WHO'S ON THE WRONG END OF INSUFFICIENT SEXUAL DIMORPHISM NOW, HUH?!
Sol: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Mel: Bah! IT IS NOT MY FAULT YOUR SPECIES' GENDERS ARE SO SIMILAR! AND YOU STILL HAVE A FEMININE NAME, DRAGON!
Dal: Yeah, but, see.. I don't care. It's not like being a girl would make me less capable or competent.
Sol: Whoo.. Okay. Can we answer the meat of the question instead of making fun of Mel for all the times he's joked about us having insufficient sexual dimorphism?
Dal: I d'no. Can we?
Mel: If I became a Death Knight.. I do not know. It would undoubtedly involve a radical shift in my perspectives, as well as a certain amount of unpleasantness - after all, I would be very dead! Frankly, I do not know how I would continue - I do not know how Caeren endures the pain he does, I do not know how the other death knights I know endure. But they do, and I suppose I would need to learn. I expect I would yet enjoy jewelcraft, at least, insomuch as I may. I also expect I would lose grace in my combat style - I have seen death knights fight, and they tend to be.. focused! They seek a swift, brutal end to combat instead of any measure of grace.
Sol: It's actually kinda hard to imagine the kind of mental paradigm shift that occurs going from alive to undead, I think.
Dal: That, I'gree wit.
Is Melanen concerned at all about Mara's fondness for Ebons?
Mel: HA! Not after she lit Gileas's hair on fire. She will not even speak to him, now. She has an instinct for the good of the Acherai, I dare say, and has not yet learned the.. fear for the undead she likely should have.
Dal: 'at hair thin's funny's hell. I did not know Gil coul' scream like'at.
Mel: DALANTIA! I have a question for YOU today!
Dal: Oh, Light.
Mel: How did taking her cat's advice on romance work for you?
Sol: Oh, Light.
Dal: Fishslap contest. Then laughter. She smiled, as I recall, and I saw the old A again, the one that.. knew what a smile was, instead of a bloodthirsty grin. After that, a gentleman does not kiss and tell.
Sol: YOU are no gentleman.
Dal: Shuddap.
WHO HAS HARMED BURAN? I MUST KNOW THIS! THIS PERSON MUST PAY FOR THIS FOOLISHNESS, AND KNOW MY FURY!
Taaku. There’s a bounty on his tail, you know.
Just his tail.
Mel: NOT FOR LONG THERE IS NOT!
Dal: Mel, please don’ do anything stupid.
Get behind Kirahti, she wants first crack. Angry Auchenai on the loose…
Mel: ONLY IF YOU FIND HIM FIRST WILL YOU HAVE THE FIRST BLOW! I WILL SMITE HIM WHEN I FIND HIM REGARDLESS!
Dae: ...That.. is a lot of angry.
Sol: That.. is fairly high up on the angry scale, yes.
Does Mel have a weakness for any particular food or beverage?
Dal: I know'is one! 's roasted Talbuk, charred just short of black.
Sol: Dal makes one -hell- of a roast talbuk - we've had to make sure Mel isn't at the house for it in the past.
Mel: BAH! THIS IS WHY YOU HAD LEFTOVERS FOR ME?! CURSE YOU BOTH!
Mara: *giggling* Da da buuuuuuh nahm!
Dae: Well, I can understand that.
Zedai: Dae yay whee nahm?
Dae: Are you hungry too, Mara?
Mara: Nahm nahm!
Mae mae eeeeee meee? Ma wa eeeeeee mae mae! Ma wa see see wheeeee mae mae!
"Melanen? Would you attend to your spawn, please? She’s making strange and disturbing noises and I have no idea what’s going on."
"I know 'see see' is Zedai! I don't know, perhaps she wishes to bring her friend next time she comes here? The two of them have a peculiar affection for the Acherai, I find."
WHO HAS HARMED BURAN? I MUST KNOW THIS! THIS PERSON MUST PAY FOR THIS FOOLISHNESS, AND KNOW MY FURY!

Mel: NOT FOR LONG THERE IS NOT!

Tmi ask for all
Ask for all shadows, suppose we are all in a dire spot in a war, at our last line of defense, morale is deadly low, what does your character do? If they try to rally the defenders I request a speech.
Mel: Bah. LEAD BY EXAMPLE! Plow into their lines, and cleave until I am all the way through! THAT will inspire us!
Dal: Just cos you're suicidal don't make that notion useful, Mel. Granted, my tactic would be similar - start trying to break their lines via fast attack raids. Let's face it, tho.. I ain't one for speeches.
Sol: I think that goes for all of us.
TMI Tuesday
Mel: Dae! Sit with us!
Zedai: Shooooo day-yay.
Dae: I do not know if this is wise. Zedai is almost asleep, and Mara is sitting upon my head.
Sol: Don't worry about it. They sit with us all the time.
Dal: Yep. If'n you're gonna sit wit our kids, you're gonna sit wit us too.
Dae: As you will...
