Stranger in a strange land

Long story made short, I had to emergency teleport to outside Pavel's cave, yell for help, and he managed to prevent me from dying horribly. But I spent many, many months bleeding off radiation about half a mile away from his cave for the rest of the year. I killed everything that came within 10' of me, so it was best to stay in the desert and isolated. I ended up getting to study myself, with the occasional visit to Pavel so he could treat me for radiation sickness.

Fortunately, that's all in the past now and I'm fully recovered. I have had more cancer in the past four months than an entire cancer ward. I owe Pavel big-time. He has lots and lots of tass that's going to be headed his way this year. And that means heading back to St. Claire to harvest from my nodes.

Sure, it was a good learning experience, but there are clearly much, much, much better ways to learn.

Trust the Black Mage or trust Ghost's doppelganger? Get it wrong, the universe might end. Do nothing, the universe might end. Get it right, the universe might end.

Sometimes I miss the days when I was more concerned about using magick to pick "chance to win!" products at the grocery store that would net me a quick couple hundred bucks so I could pay for college textbooks. Today is one of those days.

I feel so sorry for Ghost 2.0. What a miserable existence. I don't know how to help her.

Things have been going well. For now.

( I want to go home and rethink my life. )

Life is a lot easier to live if you don't have a moral code, but life is not always about taking the easy path. That way often leads to the Dark Side.
