WWLVIII: Escape From Angband (or Behavioral Modification)

*sigh*

Hamsters and elderberries.

I can't make this any clearer without making an analogy to the Oracles of Rokugan--which, no doubt, most, if not all, of you will understand, you bunch of gaijin.

Might as well get this over with.

I am he.

Was me being out of character. Usually I say '*sigh*', but perhaps I was so flustered by this goose-forsaken village that I forgot myself.

You probably know this more than I do. Yeah, I'm sure of that.

Historically, the Oracles have been humans who have given up their humanity to house the power of a Dragon and become its agent in Ningen-do. The Oracles thus became not entirely human, creatures of great power. The Oracles also would retain no knowledge whatsoever of their mortal lives and break all contact with humanity, apart from their duties as Oracles. Many instances have been documented where a person recognizes an Oracle, but the Oracle has no recollection of the person, often despite the pair having spent years as close friends or family.

(From the L5R Wikia article on Oracles--emphasis mine)

Oh, and gaijin = foreigner, outsider, barbarian if you wish.

The whole thing.

Yes, the whole thing.

Referring to myself both in the first- and the third-person, which is rather fun.

In case anyone is offended by anything. A sentiment I wish to repeat in this post.

I'm just epically confused.

What I've learned so far:

• There wasn't a ranger save
• For all intents and purposes there wasn't a kill last night
• We have this interesting new apprentice
• How to make bullets

About The Apprentice:

• An apprentice is someone who learns and takes after their master
• This new person is Phantom's Apprentice

Logic would then dictate that maybe this new person can talk to Phantom? and learn from him?
