Oh holy hell. My new boss assigned me a load last week that was, to put it simply, impossible to complete due to time constraints. I explained quite clearly before I even got started that it would be impossible, and why, but he insisted I try anyway. It didn't work, for the exact reasons I explained to him.

Now he's giving me the exact same job. I'll try explaining it again once I get to work, but if he still doesn't get it I'm going to scream.

Wow, what the hell? D:
Janet, please don't kill yourself.

: "Well yeah, it was pretty weird. See, ma ain't from Masalla at all, she's from Mieros. She came to Masalla tryin' to rescue a friend of her's who got kidnapped by slavers, and she met my pa who helped her out."

: "From the way ma tells it, they pretty much hated each other at first and never wanted to see each other again. But they got the slavers all riled up and the whole mess snowballed into a conflict between some Kretosian criminals and the plainsfolks. Eventually ma and pa were able to kill the leader and most of her commanders, and everyone assumed that pa would visit the matchmaker after the battle."

: "Instead, pa proposed to ma. And I was born about eight months later!"

Looks like you used too much xp there, Aseaheru. You spent 1100 while we only get 1000 to start with.

The nomad sighed in frustration, mostly at herself.

: "It ain't dumb. I just wish I knew the right sorta advice fer ya, Sheila. I don't know anythin' about proposals, other than what ma and pa told me about theirs. Would that help?"

: "Hmm...well, I can kinda see the way Ciera's thinkin'. With this whole stupid war goin' on, and us caught right in the middle of it, preacher's probably too busy keepin' us all alive to think about stuff like gettin' married...or, uh, stuff."

: "But that don't mean he don't love ya! Heck, I bet he's already figured out how the weddin's gonna go and everything. Probably wants everythin' to be perfect. Have ya tried talkin' to him about any of this?"

Uh. We're using 2nd edition, not first.

Grifen winced. She knew that tone.

: "Uh oh. Things not workin' so well with you and preacher? What can I do to help?"
