Yeah, a real old fart, older than dirt.
Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual... such as yourself to rule the world. No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one... Solidus. ...What should I do about the woman? Yes sir. I'll keep her under surveillance. Yes. Thank you. Good-bye...... Mr. President.

You're telling me! Thick eyebrows have always been a distinguishing feature in my opinion. Now I thought Rock Lee (Naruto) and Locke (Ozy and Millie) were holding their own but this guy's a pro.

Still, thats a fair point of the exoskeleton, wonder if they have made anything like that or weather they just relie on canes?
Not everybody reads the RP threads. I don't. The question "But what RP?" seems perfectly reasonable, not requiring a shocked or surprised-seeming reply.
Avoid those who speak badly of the people, for such wish to rule over you.

True, but you'd still be hard pressed not to know that they were there at least. There's ususaly at least one of them floating near the top of the forum somewhere, both with 'RP' in the title.

Ah, I wouldn't have called it a game. I had visions of locals gathering together and having a D&D style session...

In my experience, RPGers are not averse to strange hours of the night - quite the contrary. It's the ones playing in the midday sun that would feel weird about it.

BTW, the RPs seem to be progressing at a rate that makes Freefall look fast :)
And maybe exoskeletons require too much lux?

Yeah, a real old fart, older than dirt.

last year we planted a garden, the plants have since died and we planted a new one this spring.

the plants that died have decayed and turned into dirt.

I was born farther away then just last year

I can say that I am older then (some) dirt!
I still say the doctor did it....

Well, generally, exoskeletons are just flashy and impractical. I mean, the exoskeleton has to support its own weight, the weight of the user, and the weight of any additional load. In practice, simple machines work best: Pulley, lever, inclined plane.

Besides, metal's at a premium. Kestrel's golem is made of wood, remember? So an exoskeleton would have to be made of wood as well, and bones are stronger than wood already.

No, no cargo loader exoframe on the luftship. Just a block-and-tackle crane.

As for the Elder...

Wait a minute...

Am I the only one to notice he's wearing purple trimmed with ermine? Carrying a wizard's staff?

I still have no idea who he is, but this guy's a Walking Capital Letter: A High And Mighty Muckety-Muck!

<notices the acronym>

Okay, that was unintentional...

Yours wolfishly,

The nonplussed,

Wanderer
