Winter, is this from Mikado, or from some other Gilbert and Sullivan operetta?

You know, for once, I’d like to see a new fantasy TV series start from a close-up shot of a king’s face. You know, like they so often do.
But this time, the king’s in trouble. He’s in terrible pain. His forehead is furrowed by deep wrinkles. It’s almost like he’s succumbing to some terrible spell.
We can hear his heart beating, and everything else far away, muffled…
You hear someone yell off-camera: “My Lord … My Lord” and the camera slowly pans out to reveal the royal lavatory.
Something to break the monotony of the idealised kings, queens and generals borne in the imaginations of middle-class city dwellers so deeply ingrained with the bourgeoisie values of our basically just western societies that they don’t have a chance of identifying the blinders of prejudice holding their storytelling back.

I have neither read or watched GoT past the first 20-50 pages.Back to the topic of what we’d like to see in the next book. Someone who can pop a cap in a Chaos Malestrom or an errant archdemon.
Someone who, like Tom, has a code. Because a man, demon or not, has to have a code.

Wouldn’t it be strategically disadvantageous for that kind of objective information to fall into enemy hands?
Currently, Lilith can only debrief the survivors who dug themselves out of the mud, since any overwatch would have been ineffective because of the rather surprising weather conditions in Abyss. Any information provided by the survivors would be rather patchy and concentrate on the most notable events.
So what does it mean to live tens of hundreds of millenia in the Abyss?
Are you interacting and learning at a rate somewhat comparable to the middle decades of a human existence?
If so, is your personality going to stay stable enough, that someone you knew a millennium ago would recognize you still as the same person?
What does it mean for long-term alliances, when they are forged on internal, collaborative creation, and not external pressures? Are such things possible at all, outside the human scale?
Would a truly long-term alliance require a fairly specific, and well-worded contract? With constantly changing circumstances, would it even be possible to absolutely keep one’s word, or would every provision of such an arrangement stand on a sliding scale of payables and receivables?
If you have to choose between bad and worse on a daily basis, wouldn’t it pretty much guarantee that each member of a truly long-lived species has committed some atrocities a few times over the years?

Too cool for school, eh?[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_CbMMZ0WgQ[/youtube]
Wtf, my YouTube links don’t work?
This is pretty close to what being an Astlan Demon might feel like, after a few thousand years.

In the movie, it looked like he’d gotten bored with humanity after a millenium or ten of bouncing around.
I suppose demons could view wizards as generous benefactors, since their torture, odd jobs, and the general anticipation of a feast keeps things somewhat fresh.
Just how seriously *do* the older demons take board games?
You know, those guys on the eternal cruise ship of Styx, slamming down Denubian Choco-Coffees™ and sitting down for that decade-long game of chess?
[quote]Well, like with the gods, the chess boards are actually the planes of men.[/quote]

Soul really is worth all that.[quote=Tizzy;3316]I like making him blanche and holding his debt…[/quote]

If a lady sucks a thousand roosters, but builds just one bridge, they don’t call her a slut, but an ingenue forever.Sorry, Gel, didn’t mean to threadjack.
So I suppose your next phase will be called “Etoniae eunt domus”, or rather, “Etoni ite domum?”
Will it be Tom who’ll tell people to think for themselves, or could it even be Talarius?
Is Tizzy an agent of Chaos, and his actions just Brownian motion, or is what others perceive as talking to himself, actually communicating over links to subliminally control people such as Lenamare, other demons, and having discussions with voluntary agents, like a proficient (was going to say good, but that’s a bit overloaded) agent of Order?
