Subject: What are you all standing around staring for?
In reply to: Ravin 's message, "Questioning the genie" on 12:16:10 01/25/02 Fri

Argus eagerly drank the cup of water Ravin had brought him, frowning at all the people still standing around staring at him. What was wrong with these twits? Had he come out into a camp for mental defectives? He'd repeatedly asked them where he was and none of them would bother to answer him. They did little more than stand there and gape! Rude bastards!

"Blimp, yew lot! Ay yew all go'n ter juss stand thuz gawk'n at me like ay'm some sort o' fascinat'n bug er ay yew go'n ter answer me? Whuz in de blewdy nine 'ells am ay?"

Meanwhile he was still waiting for the healer to take him to the hospital tent and that sodding bone demon was taking a fancy to him.

Argus scratched at his beard and waited, feeling his patience growing thin.

It never occurred to him that they were expecting him to blurt out his story, since no one had yet said two words to him except the slow-witted woman who had given him the water and the snippy woman who was ticked off that he didn't grovel at their feet in gratitude. And the healer, who he seriously wondered about. But no one had asked him where he was from or what he was doing in the mirror. Then it occurred to him...

Maybe they already know! Maybe they're the ones who moved the mirror. But if so, then where was the Temple? It hadn't been in a desert before... were these raiders of some sort? Had the mirror been stolen? No... it had obviously been buried. What in the blazing hells was going on?
