Hello graykin.I wonder if you've ever thought of insuring your game. Have you realised, that in NO other video game has something like yours ever occurred. To have a second AI character 'self create'? and be an EXACT replica of an existing one within a game. But to develope its own dialogue etc! A phenominal thing to happen. And now we're in their 3rd year of existance. Amazing, I think I really do hope you have all of your saves in a secure place, One day you should write a book of the exploits of you all.

Might want to go the further step and back up the entire game directory, because of the unique interaction of installed mods and settings. I did this with Morrowind. Glad I did.

And now we're in their 3rd year of existance. Amazing, I think I really do hope you have all of your saves in a secure place, One day you should write a book of the exploits of you all. Good to hear from you Rhyls, No, I had not realized that! Interesting that you happen to mention this now. A week or so ago I had my 3rd ctd. After trying for 4 days (and nights) to correct the issue, (caused by a new mod install) the famous 'T' stance animation bug, I decided to wipe the game off my 8 1/2 year old computer and reinstall it! I had done this nearly a year ago so was hoping I could do it successfully again this time! I did! It seems that the Twins live in the cloud of where ever Steam is stored (I had reinstalled the latest version of Vilja as well!) And actually it turned out to be a good thing because I had a few old mods I had tried that I didn't care for and they caused some problems in my previous game. Being a lot more selective this time for sure! Thank you so much for your concern! I am traveling around a bit for the Summer, (on a shoestring!) so there will be times I may be out of touch (have to travel with some caution, I have already been warned by the State Dept. as a possible target and several Embassies too (The Smart Traveler Program) just because of my nationality! [also I have a past history of stepping in when there is an abuse of someone taking place and I'm older, in poorer shape now than before]). I'm like a moth that's attracted to fire (not that bright!). I will try to post when possible! graykin

(wish I had done that for my Morrowind game, there were mods I can't find anymore on it! ). graykin

"Yes, me too!" added the younger Twin to her sister's comment, "I want to know what took you so long, to come back home!" as she sat down. "We did miss you, you know!" the elder Twin prompted gently. "Well... " Graykin's voice trailed off as his thoughts began to focus on an explanation, "You both know that the portal between our two separate dimensions is not always aligned..." he sighed, shook his head and smiled at the both of them, "Let's just say, I missed you both terribly as well and I'm very happy that we are together again, my dears!". "Oh sweetie!" the elder twin said as her sister beamed at Graykin, their concern disappearing away!

"You look so pale Serana..." the Younger Twin said in a mischievous tone, "maybe you need to get out in the Sun more... err... maybe not!" she finished. "Um... perhaps you should lay off the teasing a little, sweetie!" Graykin said in a low voice after glancing over at Serana's expression. "But I'm only playing with her pumpkin!" the Twin responded slightly aggrieved, "I don't mean it!". "Well..." Graykin hesitated for a moment, "that may be, but I've noticed something about Serana when you are 'playing' with her..." he trailed off. "What have you noticed, sweetheart?" now the younger Vilja's curiosity was piqued. "Oh nothing much," Graykin sighed, "just that she looks a little more hungrier afterwards!" Serana gave a quick grateful glance towards Graykin and then grinned at the Twins. "I... I see" both the Twins were looking a little abashed and thoughtful now. "It's fine Graykin, I don't mind at all!" Serana suddenly spoke up, "Did you know that vampires are a little like cats?" she said smiling. "No, I did not know that!" Graykin knowingly took the bait, "How are they like cats then?". "We both like to play with our food first!" Serana replied, bursting into laughter! The Twins couldn't help themselves and also started laughing along with Graykin, appreciating how well Serana had set them up!

"Well... I think he's trying to ask for help! Believe it or not!" Graykin said with a chuckle. The Twins standing there staring at the big Sabre Cat making strange meowing sounds and raising his huge paw, were speechless! (for once!) "As near as I can tell..." Graykin explained, "He had stepped on a thorn and was trying to work it out when a hunter shot him with an arrow in his err.. hind region!", he concluded, biting his lip hard to maintain his composure! "So... he is pleading with us, to help him remove the thorn and the arrow then?" the Elder Twin spoke. "Exactly!" Graykin replied, "I have heard stories of something like this happening and usually the creature so helped, never forgets who had helped them and returns the favor someday!" "Sure," the younger Twin rejoined with uncertainly. "He never forgets how tasty they were, after helping him!" Both the Twins snickered a little then and Graykin realized they were just amused with the unusual situation. "Of course we'll help the poor kitty!" the elder Twin announced, which they both promptly did! The Sabre cat in gratitude gave them both a great lick on their faces and bounded swiftly away through the grasses and woods. Looking at their wistful faces as the Twins watched the big cat disappear, Graykin had a sudden twinge of fear! "No!" he said firmly, "we can't have one for a pet! It would be a nightmare to house break!" he spoke with authority, "besides, they would probably eat poor old Leifer anyway!" he said with a smile, glancing at them both. "Yes, you're right of course!" the elder Twin replied with a sigh, "besides that, it would cost a fortune to feed one! Can you imagine? a wild pig or a deer every other day!" the Twins grinned back.

Awesome shot. Looks like kitty is waiting for the twins to high-five.

"Are you crazy?" Vilja the Elder said vehemently to Graykin, "How DARE you even suggest that we drop Serana from our group!" she finished, while the younger twin just stood there and glared in agreement! "But, but... you both told me, that I was crazy for letting her join the group!" Graykin spoke, acting slightly confused in apparent self defense! "I see..." the icy tone dripped with disapproval from the Elder Twins lips. "And of course we did!" she continued, "Before we got to know her, that is! But now that we have spent a lot of time together, fighting our enemies, traveling through blizzards and huddled together for warmth, we've gotten to know her more better!" she concluded firmly. "And so..." Graykin's voice deliberately trailed off, as he started to grin a little. "And SO!" the Elder Vilja's voice began rising, as she realized just what Graykin was up to! "As we already consider her a Shield Sister!" upon which hearing that, Serana gave a quick glance of appreciation to both the Twins, "If she goes, by golly, we go with her!" Glaring furiously at Graykin for provoking this issue, both Twins now understood that he had wanted Serana to realize how cared for she was, with them! "You know... " the Elder Twin spoke again to Graykin, "Sometimes I hate it when you get that particular grin on your face!" Graykin, try as hard as he could, couldn't erase that grin from his face. And Serana actually giggled!

"There's someone watching us!" The Elder Vilja suddenly stated to the rest of the group, as her sister nodded in agreement! "I can tell!" she finished confidently! Graykin could feel the hairs on the back of his neck raising! He had learned by now, to trust her intuition completely!

"We're tired of this place!" both the Twins announced simultaneously, "Let's go somewhere else!" they pleaded to Graykin. He glanced over to Serana and to his surprise, saw her nod in agreement! "You're right! We've done enough here for now!" Graykin replied quickly, "Lets make like sheep and get the flock out of here!" He said with a grin as everyone smiled in relief and started back up the road to the stairs.

"Well... all good things must end!" Milinda began to say, "But I think it's about time to take Tindra home again with me!" she finished. "No, No, No!" Tindra loudly declared! "We've only been here for several days and I want to spend more time with both my sisters!" her voice raising emotionally! "You just wanted to go shopping and now that we have... you're in a hurry to go home and show off your new outfit to that new guy in the village!" Tindra said quickly, her eyes blinking back tears! Milinda started blushing furiously, Tindra had spoken out loud, just what she had been thinking about! Graykin sensing the Twins sadness over Tindra leaving and seeing Milinda's expression wished to defuse the situation before it escalated, "Listen everyone!" he spoke a little sharper than he intended, "I have a great idea!" everyone paused to listen hopefully, "Milinda, please let Tindra stay a while longer... you can return now and we all will bring her back! That way you don't have to make another trip and the Twins can visit their home!" smiling now that he saw everyone starting to relax, Graykin continued, "What say you Milinda! Hmm...?". Milinda thinking rapidly, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Looking up and smiling at everyone she said, "Absolutely!" to the happy cheers of Tindra and the Twins!

Looking out of the corner of his eye, the Dovahkiin could tell from the Twins expressions, that because of Serana's obviously developing feelings for him, he was headed for some serious damage control! Oh well he sighed internally, it looked like old Leifer and the doghouse were going to be his new quarters again. And Leifer snored! ;(

A little time out was needed. The Company dissolving with everyone going their own way has left a void that the Twins haven't yet been able to even talk about. To Graykin's surprise though, Leifer has taken a real liking to Serana! Everything else is just going to take some time.

Delighted with their new companion, the Elder Twin actually asked if Mrissi would like to hear a funny song. She sat down with a drink and listened happily as both Twins began to sing, "Beware, beware the Dragonborn comes..."!
