Idristan tilts his heat slightly to one side as he curiously lifts up the garments that had been left neatly folded on the offering table. He hums softly as the light fabric glides easily through his fingers. Silk, crafted into a coat luxurious enough for the highest nobility. Or a god.
He carefully tugs it on, admiring the fit and rich color in the reflection of the nearby pool. A fine gift. A very fine gift indeed, made only better by the bottle of Ishgardian brandy set beside it.
“Someone either knows how to treat a god very well,” he muses. Lately he had taken to talking aloud, far more than he had ever had while he was mortal. Perhaps it was because there were few people that could blackmail him now. Or perhaps, as he told himself, that as a god he was entitled and indeed expected to monologue.
It certainly wasn’t because godhood was lonely.
“Or else they want something very, very badly.” He hums once more as he idly studies the label of the bottle. Then he shrugs as he goes over to retrieve a fine crystal glass. Time would likely tell which one it was–and there was no point in letting good alcohol go to waste in the meantime.
so a guyson artist that i’ve recently been following posted a series of comics regarding the scenes in the level 58 brd quest on their twitter, which in turn, reminded me of the scenes in the level 60 quest.
i wish i could say this was an exaggeration. i really, really do.

Also, here’s Nero Scaeva’s “official word” on the tomestone/cell phone debacle:
“The tomestone you see is just a decorative cover for a handheld-style linkpearl, designed to resemble a common Allagan tomestone. You are not really using a tomestone as a mobile device. Tomestones contain data—usually compressed, encrypted, corrupted or otherwise impossible to extract—but they lack the ability to transmit this data across long distances. Unless, of course, I chucked one clear across the room at Garlond’s big head.
Pictured: A friendly engineer about to receive a fellow engineer’s strongly-worded opinion about a proposed series of experiments that involve chucking an Allagan tomestone at his big head.
“The handheld-style linkpearl is becoming more common these days as an inexpensive alternative to the more traditional ear-mounted device. The screen you see on it is a simple liquid crystal display, backlit via aetherial excitation for better visibility. Beyond that, it works like a conventional linkpearl and you must hold it up to your ear to use it. A bit like a lovely seashell, only with a well-irritated fellow engineer screeching barely-masked obscenities at you on the other end, instead of the calming lullay of the ocean.”
(( I needed the laugh prompted by the mental image of Nero whipping this thing at Cid just for the hell of it. ))
Anselme de Haillenarte grinned brightly. They were outside of the Manor now,
that was a step in the right direction, at least. He turned up the collar of
his coat against the Coerthan chill. “The Argents aren’t in, Quincy is busy studying,
there’s nothing wrong with having a ‘night off’.” He suggested hopefully,
looking with brows lifted hopefully between Idristan and Lionnet.
Lionnet Blodoint sighs. He groans. But he follows dutifully,
if reluctantly. “You have yet to explain exactly what a so-called night
out entails, Ser Anselme.”
Idristan
Agache arches a brow at Anselme as he sticks his hands into his pockets in an
attempt to keep his hands warm. “You know I won’t ever object to going to
have a few drinks. But I don’t think I’m going to be the one you need to
convince…” His voice trails off as he gestures with his head towards
Lionnet, as if he had just proven his point.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for being an amazing friend for… almost a year now. Through the character changes and all. It’s always a pleasure to play together.
