The sunshine is gone. Nothing lasts forever, even TinyTown sunny days. Yesterday’s morning sunlight never reached its peak potential and the skies eventually clouded over entirely. For a time, we couldn’t tell if we were seeing clouds or smoke, as both are problems lately. Later, we looked out the windows in the afternoon and remarked to each other, “gonna rain”; however, it never really rained. A sprinkle here, maybe a light shower to wet the back steps, but nothing much.
We enjoyed a majorly lazy Sloth Day. While I claimed I would get dressed and possibly even achieve a human form, I did neither. I didn’t even put underthings on. To my utter shock, Shawshank announced he wanted to give Skyrim another try. I had absolutely no problem with watching him do so all morning. I prepped a fitted sheet for some pants, but stopped when he got the game updated and running. Since I’ve been through the beginning a few times, I took over for the very early “escape”, as the controls are a bit wonky in first person POV. Aside from those 15 minutes or so, he did everything, with me making suggestions along the way. He killed a dragon and got himself to level 5 before we switched places.
At that point, he handed me the controller and told me to do the opposite of whatever I normally do with my toons. “Be mean to people, don’t choose the neutral replies”, he suggested. Within an hour I was off the executioner’s chopping block and back to my old tricks, sneaking through Bleakfalls Barrow, bow in hand, taking out enemies from afar. I’ve barely made it to civilization, I haven’t had a chance to choose the mean replies yet.
I’m going to become human today, I promise. Shawshank is working for at least the first part of the day. We’ll see what the afternoon has in store for us.
