Lol no worries. If you do find a pic, people just critique it anyhow. You've set the bar to high for yourself! Gotta dumb your creativity down so people have lower expectations. Just kidding btw.
“Now join me, and learn the truth of history.”
Okay, so this is the big update. Not in size, but one of the most important ones. It's also about halfway through the narrative.
She took another step forward, her dark dress rustling over the floor. “Now join me, and learn the truth of history.”
If you don't post 2 narratives in a row I'm seriously considering doing something painful! We need to know more of this awesomeness.
Show us the truth, I beg you!!
That is an awesome quote.“Now join me, and learn the truth of history.”
Well, not really. I mean, think about it. We're so used to fictional tropes such as aliens etc that we forget how new they are. In our world I cannot find a time travelling fiction book before the mid 19th century, and the concepts we have about monsters and such just weren't around. Fiction was usually about 'real' things that could happen.
The fact that this pretty Countess might be an immortal time traveller would hardly cross his mind. I think...in fact in this story at least...he was incredibly perceptive to work it out in just 3 weeks. I mean, as you'll see later some people never worked it out.
So I think in the story it can be sorta justified.
Now, that was a long winded answer, but I wanted to explain my reasons. It would have looked dumb if he'd said at their first meeting...TIME LORD LOLZ!
I think you're thinking too hard. The 'obvious' reason he didn't run is... he's a guy. She's a girl. She's hot. He's... well, done for.
I've fallen into this trap before a couple times, thus why I'd have run away, has nothing to do with anything else. I just know in that situation a guy gets blind-sided and is wittless, hopeless, and helpless.
Naaah. Edgewise's point is true enough, but I don't doubt he'll stay for the reason... well, I'm a physics student. xkcd gets it right in comic 242 (Google it, dunno if I'm allow to hotlink): "How could you choose avoiding a little pain over understanding a magic lightning machine?"I strongly agree with loki now, I suggest he flees for his life out the door. Failing that, since Tempest is likely waiting, jump through the nearest window and don't look back! (snip)
