Seen Any Elves?

Seen Any Elves?

One of the things that Nords apparently love to say over and over is “Seen any ELVES??” And then they burst out cackling like they just said the funniest thing in the world.

And I just don’t get it. At all. Like, is it supposed to be a threat? Is it supposed to be funny? What is going on?

I don’t think Master Aryon understands what the Nords are going on about, either, but Steen just needed to vent. And I’m sure Aryon has… opinions on Nords.

I’ve also just noticed that apparently, in this comic, Mistress Steen and Master Aryon live in the Desert Golfing world. This was unintentional, but this is my headcanon now.

Also, I’m going to go do 24 Hour Comics Day tomorrow… and I’m super nervous. I don’t know why I put myself through this every year, but I’m always glad that I do.

Sworn Duty

OK so for once I decided not to do a Morrowind comic. I’ve started working on an Oblivion comic instead!

Let’s just say, the tutorial portion of Oblivion left me feeling… unenthusiastic about everything. Not to mention everybody was just so uncanny-valley ugly that I couldn’t even look at the characters without throwing up. So Oblivion-Steen was sassy, rude, bored, and didn’t even lift a finger to try and defend the Emperor.

That couldn’t dampen the emperor’s cheer, however, oh noo. He was still as chipper as ever while he yammered on to Steen about portents and dreams and destiny. Steen told him on several occasions to “can it,” because she didn’t care about gods or fate. The guards snapped at Steen to show more respect to the emperor, and she said she didn’t care because his government put her in prison. Frustratingly, the emperor told his guards to lay off Steen because he liked her because he had a dream about her. Neither the guards nor Steen understood why he put up with her while keeping such a sunny disposition.

When the cultist burst in and killed him, Steen didn’t even look up from cleaning her nails. Unsurprisingly, the guard (correctly) guessed that she was a professional assassin. Welp, I guess we know why she was in prison in the first place.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for that weird horny guy in the cell across the hall always hooting and hollering at her, Steen probably would have asked the guards just to put her back in her cell. Although, I guess her cell now has a gaping hole in the wall, so they probably wouldn’t put her in the same cell.

Vivec City Parkour

Vivec City is humongous and obnoxious to walk around. It has 8 neighborhoods, and each neighborhood is built up in layers, (up to) 4 strata per neighborhood.

FORTUNATELY, Vivec City has lots of gondoliers that you can pay to take you over to the other neighborhoods (which is a lot faster than walking). UNFORTUNATELY, the gondoliers are only on the canal works (bottom) level for obvious reasons, and it is a pain running down 3 flights of stairs (or even levitating down 3 flights of stairs) to get to them.

Sometimes I levitate down, but more often than not I just jump down when I see them. I do this because I am lazy, and because I know I will survive. But only just! A fall from that height ALMOST kills me and I am super damaged, but it doesn’t quite kill me! Still, I must look a wreck and the gondoliers must think I am super weird.
