[ORP] Alcander's Roost

Post by Alcander »

Alcander's lips curled into a grin as he tinkered with his latest contraption. His wrench tightened a bolt into the dowel as a hand waved over it, his janky magic instilling some kind of spell -- what kind? Alcander couldn't quite predict it really. He was no great wizard, but his lack of mastery could make for some fun surprises. This here was a spring-loaded children's toy that when wound up could walk by itself for a distance, and then wind itself back up again -- or maybe explode. Always working out the kinks, he was. Still, better to practice on toys than on children themselves! Well... debatable. He set it down and watched it toddle across the room but was just as soon distracted by something else - his own reflection. Sometimes in the mirth and mischief of making random contraptions he could forget about who he is -- was; a Drow who had fallen from his own kind. His small wooden house was pleasant but not extravagant, a humble thing for sure, and the truest evil he still felt within his soul was spite -- it was laughable really. He tried to do good at times, not because he was goodhearted, but out of spite - because his people would expect the opposite. But heck on those people. He would ruminate later though. It was almost time for breakfast... and he hadn't even slept yet. Alcander slunk beneath his covers and once more had to decide whether to try to remember... or try to forget. After a short nap, at least, he'd have some fields to plough... gainful work, even if beneath him.
