Of Childe Roland

[gone_todash]

Hile, Gunslingers! I am Roland of Gilead, last of the Line of Eld. There are other worlds than these, said Sai King, and I can see I have found yet another. In some worlds I am only Sai King's creation, in his series of books called The Dark Tower, but some worlds belong to me, and to my friends, Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and Oy. Though I will

bienvenue, m. eld. i apologize if this welcome is not as enthusiastic as it might be. i am feeling a tad under-the-weather, which accounts for my lack of capitalization.

regards,

I'm sorry to hear that. Fate can be fickle.

Cigarette? Mine are quite potent. Homemade, you know.

You do seem to make that a habit, don't you? Pity.

M. Roland, it's a delight to meet you. I'm Jehan. :) <-- a smiling face!

I hope you will find it comfortable here. Despite a few troubles, this place maintains a friendly air.

Greetings, Jehan. I confess I find those sideways smiling folks a little disconcerting. They remind me a bit of old Nort after he'd been chewing too much devil-grass.

[tips hat] Here's a hello, from one gunslinger to another.

Long days and pleasant nights. *nods*

...okay, Note to Self: read more Earth literature---or get it on tape or something. All these literary characters are confusing.

...Oh, huh, yeah, I'm from a book too. Heh. Never mind.

What is this "tape", Sai Beeblebrox? Is it something to eat, perhaps? Like a popkin?

Hello, Mr. Deschain. Though neither my secretary nor I are familiar with your literary origins, I am sure you will make an appropriate addition to the community.

Mercutio is correct in saying that it is easier to find male companions hereabouts, but you'll probably get used to it there are several charming young ladies as well. They're just not as easy as the men.

I fear my scribe has at best a marginal familiarity with you and your dubious history. I shall have to remind her not to forget the face of the all-powerful literature gods her father.

*shrugs* I can forsake the pleasures of the flesh easily enough. I take what Ka gives and do without the rest.

Self-denying. How unfortunate! I, of course, am a hedonist.
