Timoran Wrath– “I guess we are supposed to talk about our tempers. Not really sure why I am here since I have control over mine.”
Lloyd Tenay– “Same here. The kid can be a bit of a rager though.”
Cassidy- “First of all, you have very little impulse control when it comes to killing. You took out five people on the trip here and we only walked down the block. Second of all, I have good reason to be angry. The b*&@$ took my . . . what was that?”
Lloyd– “Ha Ha! You got censored!”
Nyx– “This is so stupid. I haven’t lost my temper in a long time. Not in the way I used to anyway. Mess with my friends and I’ll burn you to a crisp, but that’s a reason for me losing control.”
Luke Callindor– “I guess I snap at times, but only when I’m backed into a corner. Even then I might not go too far. Maybe we should give tips on how to avoid losing our tempers.”
Lloyd– “Killing, watching television, killing, needlepoint, killing, eat a really good pizza, and killing. Even better if you can combine some of those together.”
Nyx– “This is why we rarely invite you to hang out. Just think about how you can make a mistake if you aren’t thinking clearly. The thought of being responsible for hurting my friends is-”
Cassidy– “Easy for you to say and do when you aren’t living in a lawless wasteland. You have no idea how much one’s anger can keep them alive. People will stay away from a maniac.”
Timoran– “I wish to point out that you travel with a maniac. In fact, you sought him out for help.”
Lloyd– “And the big man scores a point. To be fair, it also helps to be friends with the craziest person in the room. What do you do to remain calm?”
Nyx– “Good question. I always thought barbarians are born knowing how to keep their rage under control. That doesn’t make a lot of sense though. Such behavior has to be learned, right?”
Timoran– “It is difficult to explain. Our temper tantrums are usually allowed to go unchallenged in the hopes that we learn control. The true training does not come until we are five. We are drilled on accessing our rage little by little until we tame the inner beast entirely. Some go too far and require a firmer hand, but every barbarian learns control at some point. It is more of a cultural thing than anything the rest of you can do. Not to mention you’re all adults and harder to change than a child.”
Cassidy– “Don’t give Lloyd an opening to a joke like that.”
Lloyd– “Awww, she knows me too well.”
Luke– “Adults have to learn control too. There are happy children that go through tough times and become angry adults. It might not be easy, but there has to be a way. Those of us in Windemere could do it through collecting new happy memories and finding reasons to remain calm. Not sure what the Bedlam people would do.”
Dawn Addison– “You strangle your enemies with moonbeams!”
Nyx– “Nope. Not dealing with that nutcase. I’m out!”
Timoran– “I believe I have something to tend to as well. It requires Luke’s help.”
Cassidy– “I’m just going to head out. She’s not worth the bullet.”
Lloyd– “Wait up! I have too many people to kill before I die!”
Dawn– “Nobody lets me have any fun.”





How could you ever be lonely with this pack of characters to keep you company? I had to laugh out loud at the reaction to Dawn’s comment.This was a very special meeting and would love to witness more. (The censor joke was good too.)

I knew she had to appear at some point. Figured she would be a crowd clearer. Too crazy even for Lloyd.

Moonbeams as a tool would be a tough concept for Lloyd.

He’ll find a way. Probably be writing ‘moonbeams’ on something.

Funny you should mention that. I wrote a scene where someone strangled an enemy with a sling this morning.
