"No, I'm just the Gatekeeper."

[pyat]

kores_rabbit was downtown helping her mom-in-law clean, and visited over lunch. While I was eating, a man who looked and sounded exactly like Smeagol kept golluming behind me. It was uncanny.

While we walked, a very respectable looking middle-aged lady stopped me to ask "Are YOU the Minister?" She walked off when I said I wasn't.

Now I'm wondering if it was some kind of password. If I'd said the right thing, I might have been embroiled in a web of intrigue, or some kind of magical conflict. I mean, Smeagol was there and all. Plus, there was that magic squirrel.

When she asked if you where the Minister, you should have gone on a rant about "rancid wine, Stygian lotus and the temptations of Caprinae!*" and if that failed to convert her, you should have broken out into dance.


*Yes, I had to look that up, June 10th.
