For the …wait, what?

I realized tonight that making my paladin Alliance means I’ve tipped the balance. (Yes, she’s really Alliance now… Ashtoret the Draenei* Paladin.)

Horde: Ndiayne (priest), Nolona (tree), Irien (mage) (Only do RPish stuff on Dia)

Alliance: Ashtoret (pally), Adelinde (huntress), Edesia (priest), Spyridoula (priest), Bidi (warrior), various babyalts to chat with friends. (RPish stuff on Ash/Lin/Desi (if I can ever wrangle some demon hunters into talking to me, jeeez)/Spyri (tinkerpriest).

There’s going to be a rogue somewhere. Probably Horde, just because I like having people to talk to while I level, and I don’t have that on Sen’Jin-A (where Bidi is).

Anyways.

Mentally, I have tipped the balance. I am starting to (shudder) think like an Alliance. I think. Tore is like two personalities in my mind… because I’ve got so much mentally invested in her as a Blood Knight, I can’t just toss that. As a Draenei… well, she’s growing on me. I’ve got a trio of gnomes in my head, a Night Elf lurking and sulking in the shadowy recesses, and a Dwarven lady knocking back a few pints of stout while she watches everything going on.

And then I’ve got another Blood Elf and a Tauren hanging out in there.

D’you know just how bloody disturbing it is, having a gnome bouncing around and tugging on tails and insulting two sets of elves by insisting on calling them both long ears?

It’s really, really disturbing. Sleep-depriving, story triggering, mind-racingly disturbing.

I actually had almost a full story for Desi a few nights ago, but unfortunately it decided to trigger during a quick pre-dinner and raidtime shower. By the time I was able to start writing, it was mostly gone. This is the way of things for me creatively oft-times, however, so all is normal. (I’m a bit frustrated that I *can’t* get the story back, but it will come… in time.

I leave you with this:

N’diayne nodded at Remulos as he prepared to send her back into the Emerald Dream. Gather acorns, avoid Nightmares. She could do this, she just needed to remember to stick close to the shrine. A cast, and then an unfamiliar green haze filled her vision. She moved forward cautiously, stumbling over the first acorn almost immediately. More cautious steps forward, and then a flower was attacking… no, it was a carbon image of herself. ‘This must be one of the Nightmares, then.’ she thought as she attacked back, her purified flames raining down on the Nightmare until it collapsed back into flower form. Two more acorns and she pinched herself firmly to return to the shrine.

She hoped Remulos would grant her a boon and give her the tools to cleanse the plague from Crusader Bridenbrad. The Argent Crusade was extremely insistent on his cleansing and survival, and she didn’t want her work with the Dawn hampered by this.

“You’ve done well, N’diayne. You and your crusader have my well wishes. Farewell, priestess of the Dawn.”**

*I know, I know, wtf was I thinking making her Draenei… but most of Conquest’s paladins are human, and dwarves just… don’t bring anything useful to raids. /sigh/ Draenei do. Also I may have lost my mind temporarily when “creating” her… can I blame the /waggle/ and get a pardon???
