Enjoyed this enough to post it.
You say, "Mentor Mekthros, I have many questions when you are finished."
>Mekthros says, "Most of which are probably inane."
>Mekthros tilts his head down.
>Mekthros says, "What do you want."
You say, "Question the first."
You ask, "What is a peon?"
>Mekthros says, "If I had a mirror, I'd show it to you."
>Mekthros says, "Seeing as how I don't, I'd suggest finding one."
You blink.
You say, "Question the second."
You say, "This one is more of a bipartite question."
>Mekthros says, "I can't wait."
You say, "I know a sorcerer, thinks he's a really great guy, ugly, bad hair, but annoying powerful."
>Mekthros leans against a carved haonwood door.
You say, "I really would like to kill him."
>Lyoko looks lost in thought.
You ask, "Can you recommend any techniques, and also, where do you think he sleeps?"
>Lyoko says, "I should know that one..I was married to a sorcerer of that type..except he wasn't strong. He's in jail right now. At least last I checked..well, his box and stuff is."
>Lyoko fidgets.
>Lyoko ponders.
>Mekthros says, "Well, he probably sleeps at the Inn. I'd recommend coming unarmed to the room where he resides, bursting in, screaming something incomprehensible but heroic, and then getting disintegrated."
>Mekthros says, "I think that ought to do the trick."
You raise your hand.
>Mitheirien glances at you.
You ask, "What if you already tried that route?"
>Mekthros says, "Then I'm afraid you're out of luck."
You say, "Well let me run this by you."
>Mekthros tilts his naginata from left to right, causing the light playing off of it. The lithe black and red coral snake wrapped around it looks highly annoyed and hisses, baring its fangs.
You ask, "Have you ever met and women of 'ill-repute'?"
>Mitheirien stares at you.
You ask, "Any of them at all?"
>Mitheirien gazes up into the heavens.
>Mitheirien mutters under her breath.
>Mekthros says, "A few names seem to ring a bell."
>Mekthros says, "I can't seem to recall any of them at the moment, though."
>Mekthros asks, "What was your mother's name, again?"
Speaking to Mekthros, you ask, "Which colour do you most prefer?"
>Mekthros says, "A lack."
>You ask, "A what?"
>Mekthros says, "Black."
You say, "Oh, I prefer C lack."
>Mekthros says, "I'd hate to be encouraging originality."
Speaking to Mekthros, you ask, "Are you single?"
>Mekthros says, "Last time I checked."
>You say, "Shocking."
Speaking to Mekthros, you ask, "Any goals?"
>Mekthros says, "World domination, vengeance, to be left alone for more than ten consecutive minutes."
>You ask, "Anything long-term?"
>Mekthros says, "To be left alone for more than fifteen consecutive minutes."
>You nod.
You say, "That's a one hundred and fifty percent increase over your original goal."
>You say, "Aim high."
>You gaze up into the heavens.
Mekthros says, "I wasn't aware counting was among your talents."
>fewYou say, "One of the few."
>You ask, "How old are you?"
>Mekthros says, "Old enough to know better."
You ask, "Young enough not to care?"
>Mekthros says, "Apathy is the only thing I fervently care about."
>You act puzzled.
You say, "I'll have to mull that one over later."
>Mekthros says, "Try not to hurt yourself."
You say, "I still have many more questions."
You ask, "Which of the four gates in Icemule do you prefer?"
>Mekthros says, "Whichever one happens to be closest."
>You nod.
You say, "North."
You ask, "What does 'Mekthros' mean in Dhe'nar?"
>Mekthros says, "Probably something along the lines of, "That one guy that all of us know but that none of us like."
You say, "Oddly enough, that's how it translates into common too."
>Mekthros says, "Life is filled with subtle ironies."
>You say, "Mmm."
>
You ask, "How old did you say you were again?"
>Mekthros says, "I didn't."
>You say, "Oh."
You say, "Well, it's vital to my learning about this strange land of Elanthia."
>Mekthros says, "Well, gravity is a fairly basic building block of our world."!
>Mekthros says, "You might do some educational research with that. There's a cliff somewhere around here."
>You say, "I won't fall for that trick three times."
* Apen has been vaporized!
You ask, "What does it mean when someone is vaporized?"
>Mekthros says, "Presumably that they've been reduced to small chunks of flesh, bone, and blood."
>Mekthros says, "I'd demonstrate, but that wouldn't be appropriate."
You say, "I fully agree."
>You hear the voice of a crier nearby, "Mekthros is now available to answer new adventurers' questions at Silverwood Manor in Icemule Trace." Luckily, Mekthros is right in front of you.
Speaking to Mekthros, you say, "I find you so helpful that your every answer opens up two new questions in my mind."
>Mexlur chuckles to himself.
>Mekthros says, "It's amazing that they all fit."
Speaking to Mekthros, you ask, "How does it feel shaping to fertile minds of young Elanthia?"
>Mekthros says, "Well, I can only theorize, but I suspect the feeling of stabbing myself in the eye with a sharp object would be similar."
You say, "Let's take it from theory to practice."
>Mekthros says, "I'm a man of faith, so that's where we'll leave that."
You ask, "Do you view yourself as a beloved figure?"
>Mekthros says, "I'm fond of myself."
You say, "I'm sorry you fondle your... no that can't be right."
You say, "We'll just move along."
>Mekthros says, "Wise decision."
You ask, "What's a good spell to learn?"
>Mekthros says, "Silence."
>You adopt an agreeable expression.
>You ask, "Where would I be without you?"
>Mekthros says, "Alive more often."
>Speaking slowly to you, Mitheirien asks, "You aren't causing trouble again, are you, Olivier?"
Speaking to Mekthros, you ask, "Who would you rather spend time with, myself or Mitheirien?"
>You glance at Mitheirien.
>Mitheirien stares at you.
>Mekthros says, "I'm assuming that on the grand scale of life, my chances of getting someone more tolerable are fairly high.".
>Mekthros says, "So I'd have to go with her."
>Mitheirien appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Speaking to Mekthros, you ask, "If you could any power, what would it be?"
>Mekthros says, "The power to keep people from asking inane questions."
You say, "That seems an unlikely power."
Speaking to Mekthros, you ask, "In a theoretical battle to the death, who wins, the human empire or the elven?"
>Mekthros says, "Elven."
>You laugh out loud!
You say, "This has been a session of high-comedy."
>Mekthros monotonously says, "I too am amused beyond the realms of possibility."
Speaking to Mekthros, you ask, "Do you prefer kobolds or roltons?"
Mekthros says, "I've been talking with you for twenty minutes and I could've been having a discussion with a rolton, so clearly I prefer kobolds."
You say, "Mentor Mekthros, I have many questions when you are finished."
