I suppose Ump's father was pointed out yesterday in the mines. I direct the next question to one of Ump's older sisters, "So, what do you do all day? Do you work too?" And then to the other, "How about you?" Quote:

All or almost all? I'd think that at least the food vendors would be working; big money on the holiday season... Otherwise, I guess I starve. Last edited by TGLS; 06-09-2022 at 09:30 AM. Reason: Pallette Swap |

"I was in a bad situation too once. Making the best of it didn't really help anything in the long run. Things got worse either way." I suppose the councilors have different jobs the rest of the time, which is why everyone gets time off. Does Bumundo have a councilor? |

"Unsure. Far, beyond Riask far. Maybe beyond beyond Riask. Beyond Kiraskan maybe." I gather my thoughts for a moment, It's bittersweet; happy and sad. I've left my troubles behind, along with everything else." I glance at my journal, "Almost everything else." "I suppose little people," I pause to look for something less idiomatic, "not rich, unimportant people, have no say in whether Bumundo is Skalindir's or not. Who decides?"

Re: (IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)
I notice the silence after a few seconds. "Sorry, I'm bringing the mood down, aren't I?"
"Swords? So every now and then they have a fight in the streets to see who gets to be the new councilor? And oaths? Do they put a lot of weight in what a politician says?" |

"Not usually in the streets, but its happened. A councilor without an army will loose what has. Unless his friends remember their oaths. They control things by having their soldiers beat or kill those who disagree with them, and by oaths to each other about where their soldiers go."
