I'll be enjoying wonderful summery weather and going to the beach because it's summer here!!

Christmas will be spent in my mother-in-law's pool; New Year's will probably be spent at the beach.

Did I mention I love summer?

"I'm annoyed because you've made what should have been a nice, easy job for me difficult and complicated. I've half a mind to hand you over to the anama and go back to my nice, quiet post. Can you give me a good reason not to do this?" Fi asks It, her emerald gaze boring into its eyes.

I kind of celebrate something on that date. Like, my whole family is heathen so we have blots to all the gods, do the whole big sit down and eat and talk and presents thing; we also have Polish Christmas as my grandfather is Polish. That usually happens on the 24th but this year we're doing it on the 22nd (so it coincides with the summer solstice, woot!).

"Don't twist my words. I didn't call you stupid, I simply stated the fact that there are things you can't learn in one week. Now, answer my other two questions. Who are you, and where are you from?" Fi snapped, green eyes glittering with anger.

"I can talk now, can I?" Fi asked the humanoid with a bit of a laugh. She shook her head. "Oh no. No, I don't think that is going to happen. See, you can't learn everything in a week. For example, you can't learn that intelligent people often have a backup plan. In this case," she shrugged off the ropes; they were frayed and had obviously been cut apart, "a dagger up one's sleeve does wonders. Now, I want to know all about you..." she said. She hurled one dagger at a pigeon pecking around to her right, a fair way back, that she could only just see. Another dagger appeared in her hand. "Now, you can see I hit what I aim at. This is another skill you don't learn in just a week. You will walk with me; if you do not comply, this dagger will happen to find its way to the base of your brain stem. I want to know who you are, where you come from and what you have done to enrage the Anama so thoroughly..." she hissed in her most icy, venomous voice. "Now, talk," she demanded.

The apartment I moved into when I first moved out of home (and am still currently living in) has its own stove/oven, and part of the rental agreement was that if the stove/oven breaks, we call the real estate agent and they get in contact with the landlord and he deals with replacing it, as it's his equipment that has broken down. Same goes for the shower, or toilet, or the hot water unit. Any whitegoods we brought into the apartment are our responsibility to maintain and replace if they break; any appliances that were in the place when we moved in are the landlord's responsibility.

Really?? Like, seriously, whenever I've looked in catalogues (dreaming of the day when I have my own home and enough money to renovate it lol!) a decent (not top-of-the-range, but average) oven, stove and rangehood set has been around the $3000 mark. Okay, that's Australian dollars, but it wouldn't be THAT much difference. About $2500 US or thereabouts.

And Archmage - I love your idea! Awesome way to promote healthier eating!

It could even be argued that Santa is a good role model because he's not promoting anorexia/bulima. He's a big boy, and he's happy - kids see that and go "wow, you don't have to be stick thin to be happy..."

Of course the flip side is the promotion of obesity, so it really boils down to the parents making sure their kids are healthy in terms of mindset and eating habits.

I agree. I get paid fortnightly, so payday is when I pay my rent and buy food for the fortnight. I get anal and plan our meals in advance so I know what I have to get, and neither my husband or I are obese despite buying fortnightly. Sure, we occasionally get maccas or pizza but we don't live on it continually for a few days at a time. It's a matter of thinking about what you're eating, buying healthy food and eating a balanced diet, it has nothing to do with how often you go shopping for food.

The sound of a commotion in the streets drew Fi's attention away from the conversation, and even the New Colonian Runic League rep faltered in his rambling speech. Fi crossed the room and peered guardedly out the window, in time to observe one of the Anama priests attempting to repel... something. It looked human, but it moved... strangely. "Counsellors, if you could be so good as to wrap up your discussion? I have a feeling we're going to be relocating in the not-too-distant future..." she informed her envoy and the RL rep. She turned back to the window in time to see a lithe figure plant a piece of paper on the humanoid, and she frowned. "On second thoughts, stay here. Keep the door locked. Don't open it for anyone except me..." She told them, as she left the room, made her way down the ostentatiously ornate spiralling marble staircase and slipped out the door, pulling it closed behind her. She caught sight of the humanoid and slipped into an alcove, ready to tail it when it moved on.

When it a mosque defaced with swastikas, then yes, it's a horrible thing and action should be taken. However, when it's someone somehow construing insult from a shopping-centre Santa bellowing out "Ho Ho Ho!" then is it not the responsibility of thinking people to take a step back and say, "hang on a minute, would you care to explain why exactly you're suddenly offended by this? Santa has said ho ho ho pretty much forever, so let's apply a bit of logic to this - he's not saying it as an attack against women."

Back to the OP, though, I salute the young Muslim man for coming to the victims' aid; I'm disgusted by the attackers' attitudes and I wish people would just behave in a civilised way (i.e. saying thank you when wished a happy chanuka instead of pounding someone's head in).

I don't think that it's a concern of offending prostitutes, I think they're trying to say that women will take offense at "being called a ho" when they aren't one. I could understand if some punk kid said it to you, but when it's a jolly fat man in a suit around christmas, I think most women would go "oh, that's okay, Santa says ho ho ho and he doesn't mean anything by it!"

My gods, people can be stupid. If someone got offended by Santa saying ho ho ho, what SHOULD have been done is that the idiot in question should have been told "get over it!" no "aww poor baby, we'll make it illegal for Santa to say something he's been saying for ages without any trouble at all"

Fi resisted the urge to fidget as the discussions between Callinda, her envoy, and the Runic Leaguesman, drew on interminably. The dress - "Howinhell am I meant to do my job in a dress, of all things!?" she wondered - was stiff, restrictive and it rubbed in all the wrong places. She couldn't wear her swords with the dress; in fact, all she had to defend her envoy, should the discussion come to blows, were four daggers, two strapped to each of her thighs. And the damn shoes pinched! Her feet were a mass of blisters already, and she couldn't imagine how she would do anything like what she was paid to do in this ridiculous outfit. The corset she'd been forced to wear under the dress creaked slightly as she inhaled a little too deeply, and she barely managed to hide a pained grimace as the boning pinched the tender flesh of her right breast. "The sooner I'm back in my clothes, the better..." she decided, as she feigned interested attention in the discussion taking place...

Hope nobody minds a newb joining the fun?

Name: Fianna Silverlocke
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Height: 165cm
Weight: 64kg
Magic: No
Skills: Bladed weapon mastery, two weapon fighting mastery, acrobatic and athletic skill masteries, throwing weapons, social etiquette, diplomacy, negotiation
Occupation: Swashbuckler, attaché/bodyguard to diplomatic envoy
Small Bio: Fianna was born into old money, so naturally she had the opportunity to be educated in a wide range of subjects. She took to the dextrous, demanding art of duelling like a fish takes to water, despite her mother’s protestations against such “un-ladylike behaviour!”. She trained her body and her mind for duelling, working long hours every day, and as a teenager she was the fastest blade (or pair of blades) in the city.
Of course, being born into the old money as she was had certain side effects. She wanted for nothing, and became used to getting her way. She was exposed to the higher levels of society from quite a tender age, and learned the necessary protocols to deal with socialites, sycophants, politicians and other prominent figures.
However, this did have a drawback that didn’t become obvious until later – her painful naïveté when dealing with, well, anything outside of her comfortable and sheltered experience.
Though she was undeniably skilled in the art of swordsmanship, the life of a soldier held no appeal for her whatsoever – far too regimented and restrictive. Neither did marrying and staying at home with the children; if she had wanted that from life, she wouldn’t have taken up the sword! She worked for a few years as an attaché to a diplomatic envoy to Avernum, and quickly found that this kind of work exercised her full range of skills, kept her sharp and kept her in a position where she could have her finger on the pulse of the current political situation…

Why don't people just deal with difference (like, in the non-hitty/bashy way?)

Oh, and in my neck of the woods, Santas aren't allowed to yell out "ho, ho, ho!" any more, because it "might be offensive to women". As a woman, if santa said "ho ho ho" to me, I'd yell back something vaguely festive and be about my business.

I found E1 to be the most challenging because I first played it when I was a tiny wee lass, probably all of 6 or 7 (what year did it come out, again?? LOL!)
