Nothing special. A group headed to the island to complete a quest to rescue the local ruler from revolutionaries, and then their little boat suddenly sank. So they had to return via some "hot air balloon" kindly hidden by the local ruler. But the thing is, the balloon was designed for a certain number of some "weight units," which I hadn't seen 500 pages before this moment, nor 500 pages after this moment. In other words, they came out of nowhere, just like Aristarkh's diarrhea. Based on the principle of "oh, it'll be cool, hee-hee".![]()
Well, anyway, a decision had to be made... First, unnecessary junk was tossed out, then NPCs, but there still wasn't enough room. In the end, Menta's character was left to die on that island, and Astral's character flew away with everyone else, after which he immediately slit his wrists.
So yeah, a "cool story, hee-hee". Personally, fuck quests like that...
It seems the main exp killer is still the IRL factor.
The thing is, first of all, by that point I had already written in the thread that Aristarkh wouldn't fuck Zaya before the wedding. Secondly, he doesn't intend to marry until he gets a "understanding" one.
She was just a friend to him
