It's a Jannish Christmas

[BigRob]

As it that time of the year again, I have a little something to show people I've actually been doing things. Again, I prefer not to let too much slip, especially at this late stage, so here is a small chunk of a larger dialogue, featuring Aklon and Jan, discussing intricate technical details...

 

Hopefully an interesting teaser and I hope all have had a good week, whatever you may be celebrating!

 

 

Aklon: I have often admired the talent gnomes have for machines and the uses to which they are put.

Jan: Thinking of asking Jan for some lessons?

Aklon: With the time we have available on our journey, I fear-

Jan: Time, precisely. No time like the present, I always say. Or would you rather learn more about turnips? Now there's a study for you. A rich and varied history, a profusion of types, uses and techniques for growing!

Aklon: Ah, well, as I said, the time-

Jan: Nonsense, there's always time for turnips. The Ruddy Tethyrian, for example, is a fine breed. Hardy, keeps well, makes a fine soup and almost never grows into a shape to make a matron blush. Hence the name.

Oh my, Jan... haha Gotta love gnomes (and that family, in particular).

 

Thanks for the sample!

[Glandire]

Ah... Jan and his love for turnips. Never gets old.

 

Thank you for sneak peek.

[BigRob]

You're welcome Aeiori and Glandire, I'm glad this little snippet seems appropriately Jannish enough to raise a grin.

This made me smile! I rather like Jan from time to time and his banters are always fun. Thank you for this banter at this time of year. It is nice to see not only progress but progress that brings a smile.

[BigRob]

Thanks Ankhesenpaaten, and I'm pleased you got a smile from it. Jan is one of the NPCs I'm most concerned with getting right, and if the banter brings a little smile, then I guess it must be somewhere close.
