OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

Years ago, you recieved a charter from the United Empire, and were officially made a member of the newly christened Trade Company! Your goal was to seek fortune wherever it may be found in this strange land...of course, through force of arms, if the natives failed to cooperate.

You continue to work for the Empire, but for your homeland of The United Empire-- but now, to a lesser extent, you also aim to help the people you've come to associate here in Jambudvipa. Your merchant navy is ready to make a fortune -- and maybe even foil the plans of the Imperial Crown and bring the Trade Company to stand as a power in its own right.

Let the trumpets call out freedom -- let your marching shake the ground! Let the cannons be your voices and may redemption soon be found.

The road to revolution is long and bloody, but liberty is worth dying for. Fight and win, for the good of all Jambudvipa.

[just smelly, dead fish?? Were they cleaned, or cooked, even?]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

[ they are cleaned, yes! ]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[well, that wasn't too bad, at least]

[approaches a vendor!]

Hey! What do you usually get for these fish?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

We barter, or it's a sum of FIVE MONIES.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

What if you could make... MORE MONIES?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

I would like to...?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

Good! Let this one tell you an idea...

You all work, but what about the naga over in the temple? They just pray. All the time. If they were working, you could all make more monies because you'd be catching more fish!

This one tried telling them that, and they wouldn't listen! It sounded like laziness.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

It is their job to pray and maintain the realm.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

Can't you do that while you fish?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

...Performing the duties of the state is hard while fishing, I'd imagine.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

No way! This one just saw. They could do so.

Have you gone there? Did you see them? Or were you working and too busy?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

I do not spend much time at the temple, no.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[claps her hands!]

Then, you see? Don't you see? What this one said could be right.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[perspire]

--You can be more than just a fisherman.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[soulping]

...Maybe...

[ DON'T MIND ME, I'm just stumbling out of the jungle and looking pretty confused as to what's going on ]

[it's... something recognizable as Poly.]

[she's shrunk down to about 3' 6" (106.5 cm), she has vines growing from out of her head and interlaced in her hair, she's grown a pair of butterfly wings out of her back, they're clearly functional and she's using them to hover a few feet off the ground instead of walk]

[she's also so engrossed with berating the fish-vendor naga she doesn't even notice Liter]

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[perspire]

U-um, Poly?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

[no response, maybe she's too engrossed? Or maybe she's forgotten her name...]

[she does eventually turn to Liter]

You! Maybe you can talk some sense into these naga? This one is at her limit!

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[perspire]

--Okay? About what?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[science_genius_girl]

Get them to work harder and want more! They're letting their priests push them around!

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[lucciola]

[I'm going to. come around here too cry]

Liter.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[perspire]

Hey Castling.

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[lucciola]

Are you all right?

Re: LAKESIDE VILLAGE

[perspire]

Yeah, how about you?
