short and rough hads 2 chapter

 This is a pretty rough draft which I intend to clean up for tomorrow’s post. Gonna be doing it as an experiment/new thing. Any feedback is welcome and I will be sure to include it in tomorrow’s post.

She chose to continue eating instead of answering, but he decided to keep talking, “If you don’t want to answer that’s fine, but I do have the keys for your chain right here.”

 “I wasn’t in Chult by choice.”

 “Ah so now you’re talking, well, if you weren’t there by choice then why were you there?”

 “It’s something you wouldn’t believe.”

 “A lot of things have been happening lately, I’m pretty ready to believe anything.”

 “Was there anyone else with me when you found me?”

 “Well, no, but I’m supposed to be asking the questions here.”

 “Did I have anything else on me?”

 “Um, no, you just had those tattered clothes, but I thought we were talking about how you got on Chult.”

 “Have you ever heard of Hads Leppet or Igrax?”

 “Ok listen here, if you’re going to try to mislead me with fake names then I might as well not give you the keys.”

 “Alright then, he’s either pulling my leg or something has gone terribly wrong.”

 “You can’t be serious right, I’ve never heard of Igrax in my life.

 “Choose what you want to believe, I’m from Igrax.”

 “I’ve traveled along the sword coast for most of my life and I’ve never once heard of this ‘Azeroth’ that you speak of.”

 “It’s real, I’m a Paladin, I took an oath. As much as I hated it….”

“Really then, what faith do you serve.”

 “My own, I serve with Hads Leppet from Igrax.”

“Oh come on, you must be lying, a Paladin who doesn’t serve a god stopping by randomly? You can play all these games with me, but I still have the key to that lock.”


They stared at each other for a few seconds before the sailor relented, “You’re not lying are you…”


“Nope.”


“But… where are these places that you talk about?”


“That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I have no idea where I am right now.”


“Alright, if you’re telling the truth then I suppose I’m satisfied,” He moved to unlock the chains, “If I may ask, what’s you’re name?”


“Illinessa.”


“Well Illinessa, I think you’re going to-”


He was cut short by an explosion that rocked the entire ship.

Departure

         “Synthesis complete.” An artificial voice, slightly distorted and almost sounding quite satisfied with itself, rang throughout a mostly empty room. In the center was a large cylindrical chamber. While the walls were glass, it was impossible to see inside due to large plumes of smoke flowing around, following an indistinguishable current. Slowly but surely, the smoke started to settle as whatever process had been going on finished. On one end of the room there was a row of empty desks, some of them had leftover pieces of stationary almost as if the lab had been cleared out in a hurry. On the farthest end of the row there was still a fully equipped desk. The room’s only occupant, asleep at said desk, began to stir upon hearing the voice. “Attempt number 597 is ready for evaluation, please retrieve it.” A hint of urgency came through, almost sounding impatient. “What…” The scientist groggily sat up in his chair, wiping away the sleep from his ey...

Goodbye Counter Strike: Global Offensive

  Well, considering everything that's happening in CSGO right this moment I think it's very likely today is the last day for the game. I don’t really wanna make this some long sappy post about the really nice memories I’ve had with this game so I’ll just keep it short and simple. Without CSGO, my life would never have gone this way. After spending many years failing at sports I was beginning to accept that I would never genuinely be good at anything competitive. CSGO helped me find something I could enjoy in that way. The game’s emphasis on skill and constant dedication enabled me to really feel like my time investment was going to something I was actually improving at. It’s so weird to think that for a little under half my lifetime I have been putting in hours practicing spray patterns, learning new smoke lineups, and making new friends in this game. I’m glad that the game gets to go out on its own terms, very few games of this type ever get to do so. They wither away and die ...

Geoff and Karl

  As the dropship flew back to base, there were no words spoken. Given the situation, Karl couldn’t blame anyone. Death was something that very few of them had ever had to deal with. “If you don’t mind me asking sir,” Artyom asked from across the cabin, “who is DeWitt?” Karl took a deep breath, there was also that matter. It was easy to forget that no one in the squad had ever met DeWitt. That’s just what happens with people so new to the war, “My old CO…” Karl answered bluntly. “Your old CO?” Artyom looked puzzled, “I thought you said he died at the beginning of the war?” “Clearly not.” Beth said from deeper in the cabin, “in fact, it seems that he’s doing pretty well for himself.” “What makes you say that?” Artyom grumbled. “Didn’t you see their gear? They made what we had look like scraps!” “I guess you have a point there.” There was a long stretch of silence. The mood for talking had very quickly left the dropship. It was Artyom who finally decided to break ...
