Yes it's story time with M once again, only this time we have a new character introduced. My hard of hearing bretonic thief, Abigail Center. Enjoy
Oh hey there, I'm Abigail. what's your name? What? I didn't quite get that, oh whatever. Never mind. So, you wanna know why I'm stuck in the backwater dumpy city called riften? Kind of a long story but how it started was when I walked into this mess that is my life. It all started when I crossed the border...
I'm walking along in the Jerral mountains, a range that separates Cyrodil and Skyrim. On my way to "the land of eternal winter" my hearing aids died. Great now it might as well be "the land of silence". I luckily dug through my bag and found a spare set and put back on my dark red hearing aids, although noticeable I like them, there cool. I finally get through that blasted mountain range only to walk into an ambush, yippie. I'm then tied up,pushed into a cart and off we go. We end up going to helgan, a city in falkreath. But I manage to slip away from the guards and officer who's listing our names using an invisibility spell...very useful in my line of work hehe. As soon as I'm out and fairly far away I cut my bonds and head to the nearest city, Windhelm to the north. I get to the gates of the ancient city and a guard warns me "Be careful of that Arentino boy. That place is cursed, I hear he's trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood." I stop in my tracks, the dark brotherhood? Like the assassins guild? I ask the guard where that boys house is... I ain't going near any cursed houses no thank you nuh uh. After getting supplies, cloths and food I turn south. Your probably asking yourself "now why the heck did she go north if she's going south now??!" Well hearing aid batteries only last a week and I had none left, and I would (most of the time) like to hear conversations that are happening, that's also why I lip read. But I'm getting off topic, so I turned south to the skeverhole (a skever is a rat) of a city in which I live. Whence I get to the gate an obnoxious guard tells me I "need to pay the fine." I quickly figure out he's lying and he lets me in. I wander around the market for a while until a voice says "psst, hey you. Want to make some coin??" I turn to see a man at a market stand and he tells me his plan. I need to break into another merchants lockbox, steal a ring and plant it on another merchant. I manage to pick the lock and steal the ring but I don't plant it on the other fellow. I may be a thief but I like to think I'm an honest one. The man who gave me the job in the first place (whose name is Brynjolf by the way) invited me to join his guild. I've always wanted to join a guild, he said that they live beneath the city in the ratway. I make my way through the twists and turns nearly stepping on some traps and by stepping on I mean falling on, vertigo you suck. I eventually make it there and turns out it's the thieves guild! I thought he was a thief. I get my new gear, some lockpicks, a bed and a chest. I put my stuff away and as I'm trying to figure out where the hell to put my case for my hearing aids, a person comes over. I'm turned around and my hair in a ponytail so it's pretty clear I have something in my ears so she taps me on the shoulder and asks with somewhat of an attitude "what are those THINGS in your ears??" I take one out and explain "oh these things? Their not important they just make me hear." And put it back in, turn them off and then say/yell back to her "I am now in my world of silence I can't hear a word you say now. Same with when I take them off. Bye!" The girl who I later found out her name was Sapphire leaves. I make friends with the rest of my new guild mates, their mostly nice, Rune and Sapphire are my two main guild friends. As for my other friends, I have Isabelle Belet, an assassin from the dark brotherhood. And Olivia (Liv/Livvy) Curtin, our only not messed up friend, she's not exactly innocent in the context she's killed people who have tried to kill her but isn't emotionally/physically/mentally "screwed up". She's so sweet, once she even made me pie. It was really really good.
See you next time we have Story Time. I think either Xavier, Livvy, Isabelle.B or maybe Isabelle.M (the older one-Issy.)
Byeee Abbie.C
Well now you have met Abigail, my thief who likes pie and money.
Until next time,
Meredith
What is her favorite pie?
ReplyDeleteAnna....
Delete"What is her favorite pie?" That's a good question, Friend!! Now I wanna know, too!! ;)
"Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive", Raelyn
Either apple or chicken pot pie. But she REALLY likes pie...and Olivia is a very good cook/baker so Abbie and Isabelle.B just go to her when they want food :)
DeleteYeah I smiled during writing it too, my other Skyrim characters are a bit lighter hearted then the rest of my dysfunctional group of heros, which makes sense as they don't have quite as much stress...but they don't have dragons either :)
DeleteHey where'd your other comment go??
DeleteMeredith.S....
DeleteI love apple pie!! Especially Mom's homemade apple pie.... Which she often bakes in the Autumn!! Yum!! What is your favorite kind of pie? ;)
"Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive", Raelyn
Oooo that sounds super good! My favorite kind is Apple. Hey flutistpride, what's your favorite kind of Pie??
DeleteMeredith.S....
DeleteOh, it is super good!! Mom sprinkles a ton of cinnamon and sugar on top of her homemade apple pie.... Ah man.... Now I want some!! ;)
"Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive", Raelyn
I like key lime pie the best. I don't like baked fruit pies.
DeleteCool. I've never had key lime pie, what's it like?
DeleteIt is usually a lime-flavored custard in a Graham cracker crust with whipped cream.
DeleteThe crust sounds really good. I'm not a fan of lemon/lime things myself.
DeleteI personally LOVE citrus flavors. I eat lemon and lime wedges, but I prefer lemon.
DeleteReally? I like blander tastes or well I did as I have no sense of taste or smell anymore because when I had the virus that messed up my vocal cords it made me lose my sense of taste and smell.
DeleteSo food would be all about texture for you? What textures do you find pleasing?
DeleteYep. I find crunchy,smooth and not slimy stuff pleasing.

ReplyDeleteThis fictional story made me smile the entire way through while reading it!! There was humor, adventure, memorable characters.... I loved it!! ;)
Although I am obviously taking a break from creating fictional stories and posting them on my Blog, "Minuscule is good!", I've been considering writing "books", that are written in first person, like you did with this one!! Also.... You've inspired me to create characters who have learning and/or physical disabilities/special needs!! Who knows? I love experimenting with my writing, with my gift, with my ability!! I will return to writing fictional stories and posting them on "Minuscule is good!".... Someday!! ;-D

PS. I wanted to send this comment as a comment to you, not a reply to Anna, but Blogger would not let me.... So I temporarily deleted it!! ;-}
Ohhhhhh ok. When you combine all of my characters you pretty much get me. They all have something different. Xavier has trouble keeping his mouth shut. Juliette has trouble paying attention. Lani and Carmen have trouble staying calm/not figiting. Valan has trouble seeing/regulating his mood. Samantha needs to be taught how to trust. Isabelle gets very self critical and very depressed even attempting suicide a few times. Lucien has trouble speaking. Anna has trouble with just about everything. Farkas can't sleep/constantly worries. Vilkas needs to learn how to be empathetic/fit in. Abigail has trouble figuring out what people say. Isabelle (2) needs to work on sympathy. They all have something and there's a lot more to be uncovered. It's in a way easier to write flawed characters then "normal", "innocent" characters i.e. Olivia. And you can always use my characters as long as you give credit. Anna and I sometimes do crossovers if your ever interested in doing one!

Delete"When you combine all of my characters you pretty much get me." That is completely normal for a writer, for an artist, for a storyteller!! You know.... I infuse quite a lot of me into my characters, as well!! But sometimes, I'm also inspired by people who I know.... ;)
"You can always use my characters as long as you give credit." Aw, that is sweet, Friend!! ;-D
"Anna and I sometimes do crossovers if your ever interested in doing one!" Thanks.... But truth be told, I am too busy right now for taking up that offer!! Hence why I have not written/posted any new fictional stories on "Minuscule is good!" lately.... ;)
"Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive", Raelyn
I do the same thing, some are me and other people I know. Thats perfectly ok, I understand your busy!
