@Shikaru? =)

A new round finally! I hope everyone has recovered from Christmas and new Year's celebrations! ;)

@BytheSpleen let @Shikaru post first and then you can post. @Baklava & @Lord Santa just post in what ever order you end up posting :)

Right, I'll get to posting

@Lord Santa I must intervene here :) A good writing but Steven was not there when the old man gave Abel the directions to the inn. Second, the horse was pulling a wagon so there was no saddle. Therefore I must ask you to rewrite the post =\ sorry man.

Ahhh I was nearly finished with mine :( I'd started writing it last night.... I wrote of Abel untying the horse from the cart and Steven getting on it as he did this in spite of the fact that the old man was speaking to Abel.... Abel figured Steven would ask someone in town where the doctor was and was going to lament over the fact that Saatur was left behind. Was Steven not purposely overlooking the fact that he didn't know where the Inn was?

alright, I'll get to that

There you go. Figured I'd forget something. Hopefully that'll do.

Much better @Lord Santa! Much better :)

Sorry @Baklava! There was just too much inconsistency so I couldn't let it slide..

@BytheSpleen@Shikaru if you guys are okay with it, I will take a few extra rounds with Lord Santa and Baklava and you two can interact as you go. Just to get through getting a doctor a bit quicker?

@taistelusopuli That's okay. There's still quite a bit of inconsistency, but I'm used to it.

@taistelusopuli fine by me. I'll post soon, tommorrow at the latest.

Does that mean I should be posting right about now?

Go ahead @Lord Santa :)

Well, I'll see to that in a little bit. Got stuff to do, so I might end up doing it tomorrow.

@Lord Santa play just your departure from the current situation. I will then introduce you to the square. @Baklava you can play a second turn before me.

In light of recent events, there literally is nothing for Abel to do at this point in time. I would rather wait for a post from you after Santa posts, if that's cool.

Actually, I should take the time to discuss the next course of action - because I'm sure Illumina's wound is quite pressing, she probably needs the doctor asap. It'd be nice, at least, and Steven would probably assume so. But you've made a point that Satuur needs to be taken home, so he has to do that too. So what I was about to have Steven do was delegate the job because he's sure that Satuur isn't exactly comfortable in his presence and he has to get to the doctor quick.

In short, I'm essentially debating whether to take Satuur or whether to ask your character to do it.

It's not like he has to deliver Saatur straight to his mother's door-- Abel is more suggesting that he might as well take the kid to town since he's heading that way anyway. I honestly don't care either way.

Not that this seems to be of any concern whatsoever to Steven, but Abel WILL be even more angry should Steven shoot down his suggestion. Abel is stuck in a very awkward situation at the moment since Steven decided to take the horse from him. If he disagrees with Abel's suggestion in his current state, Abel will want to argue-- which could potentially waste even more time. Steven so far doesn't seem to have acknowledged the fact that Abel is mad at him, however. So if it is your intention for Steven to continue being oblivious to this fact, that tidbit shouldn't have any influence over whether or not Steven agrees to take Saatur or not.

It's completely up to you. I am simply stating where Abel is temperament-wise if you want to have Steven consider that before making his decision. I honestly don't care either way.

With Saatur not being comfortable in his presence-- it didn't stop him before, so I see no reason why it should stop him now. Saatur doesn't want to go home. Whether it's Steven or Abel taking him-- doesn't seem like it should matter.

Real short, but there you go.

So-- question.

This is the first time in a while I've seen a post with at least two sentences dedicated to Steven's thought process. There was absolutely no mental explanation for why Steven took the horse when the old man clearly permissed Abel to take it.

Now, obviously because you never mentioned it you can make up whatever explanation you want for Steven's thought process, but for curiousity's sake I have to ask:

Is Steven really that stupid or was he just being a hugely conceited dick?

Honest question. It's one or the other and Abel himself is just making guesses. I was just wondering which one it actually was-- especially since his character sheet doesn't mention anything about him being stupid OR a dick. So this must be a new attribute. For story telling purposes, I would just like to mentally note it for the future.
