"It's been a long time, my old friend."

It sure has, I've been unmotivated to say the least in most areas lately, but I've managed to rise yet again, unfortunately at the same time as an impending personal crisis.

Thanks for the reviews, likes and follows, you guys are seriously awesome, don't let anyone say anything else.

I should probably start replying to reviews, got to show that I appreciate the support after all.

Lydia could barely see anymore. She had to strain her brain to muster a sensible thought. How much did I drink? Why did I drink to begin with?

Someone handed her a piece of paper. She took it with a shaking hand and began to read…

…

37: Look, the amulet of Mara is good for restoration spells, it doesn't mean the Dragonborn want to marry the first volunteer.

38: You may not be used to dungeon-crawling, but please for the love of all gods and unholy Deadra; Stop. Walking. On. Obvious. Traps.

38.5: The Dragonborn is not entitled to help you if you do get stuck in a trap.

39: I'm to tell the Dragonborn if I reanimate some dead enemy and or creature.

39.5: Unless I want the Dragonborn to add your reanimated ally to the list of collateral casualties.

40: I will get ready if I'm down in combat and hear the Dragonborn say; "Deshi Basara", that means he/she is about use healing magic on me.

41: It's not weird to hear the Dragonborn gleefully say "Strike" after shouting a group of enemies into some dark pit.

42: I'm not going to mention the Dragonborn's house decorations to anyone. Some people just wouldn't understand.

42.5: Unless I want to participate in the internal decorations of course.

43: The Dragonborn is not talking to me if I hear him say "Let it go" on the snowy plains.

44: I'm to avoid eye contact if we get some guest member in the party. I'm useless to him/her anyway.

45: The Dragonborn doesn't particularly like venison; he/she only hunts deer for sport (see rule 13).

46: "Don't disturb the dead", don't apply in old tombs and ruins. I'm encouraged to make their afterlife as terrible as possible.

Lydia remembered now. Why she had been drinking so much and who had given her the piece of paper. I don't want to remember… haven't I heard good things about skooma?

…

Been playing lots of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII lately. It's a pretty good game, and I thought it had a very satisfying ending.

Not many games that I'm interested in in the close horizon though. Which hopefully means more time to write and fewer excuses not to write.
