Description
Emerald asks what the mask is for, and if he can take it off.
“I could child, but it might kill you.”
Emerald gives a laugh at this joke, but Sepulcher just looks back at the colt. M-maybe he wasn’t kidding?
Emerald switches the subject and thanks them for not eating him, and hopes that they’ll let him go.
“Yes yes, I’ll have someone walk you out of the forest when-”
“Lord! Perhaps we should have Miss Joyride come visit? It’s been so long since we’ve seen her.” The Lady says, tapping her claws together.
“For good reason.” Sepulcher says, putting a hoof to his face again.
Emerald asks how they know Joyride.
“She was once my student. One of the few necromancers I took in. Most of the rest of my army were barbaric raiders and various kinds of undead. She showed much potential.” The Lich says.
Emerald asks if he has a lot of undead here, and if he turns the people he kills into undead for his army.
“I don’t have my army anymore, little one. I’m passed that point in my un-life. All that are left here are the ones who wanted to stay after I gave up my conquest. True, I don’t let the dead bodies of intruders go to waste but… I’d rather not mention what I do with them to a child.”

Well it’s a little troublesome, but I don’t think it’s hurt my cyoa experience though. It makes sort of sense that Joyride would be on good terms with some rather bad people. In fact it was kinda alluded to when she was talking about how many ponies/teachers/friends she knew that were slain by the Order of Arrow. And the fact she had us run errands to drug dealers. I’m frankly glad that we managed to live through this as we could’ve easily had been Emerald of Borg by now.
Once the cyoa starts back up we can always call them out on it. Perhaps encourage them to not kill everything living that ends up in the straits.
I just don’t like having to depend on having connections with somoene else in order to be “special”. I dunno, I guess it’s just if I want to be special, I’d rather be special on my own merits rather than through someone else. Maybe I just hate being dependent on others.*
I don’t really have a good way of translating my exact feelings into words but that’s the best way I can explain it. Let me put it this way: this has left enough of a bad taste in the story for me that I feel a little bit less engaged with it now…just a little. That might heal though.
*(God forbid if I ever become disabled… In fact, the thought of growing old scares the hell out of me yet I don’t wanna off myself to avoid it because I’m too afraid of death. I hate my own existance sometimes…)
Name-dropping is an important skill, as is knowing when and where to employ it. Needless to say, never namedrop if you get pulled over. If they see your name and go “Hey are you related to such and such?” then it’s fine to go “Yeah, that’s my brother” or something.
Sure friendship has its benefits but when it works like this, it kinda disgusts me in a way. There’s just something unsettling about it.
