Can it be January already?

Not that I don't like Christmas or don't want to do sushi on New Year's Eve with the Nazgul, or anything. But really, I can't wait to properly app Urquhart (scots_wolf). He's moving into my brain as energetically as no charrie since Teja has done.

He's already acquired a 'theme song', a poem that he quotes in canon.

Here's the version of it that occurs in Orff's 'Carmina Burana', and this one is the Corvus Corax version.


Oh, and just to research history in order to properly evoke that world! Can you get addicted to the past?

Oh yes! Research -- it is better than crack. Gleefully prancing away with a tiny factoid about gunpowder for future use makes me feel so high!

WELCOME TO MY LIFE.

Heeeee!

I am already tempted to get Urquhart involved with all the nasty that happened in the 1250s. He has ten years of backstory to fill, between 'losing his mind' at Damiette, and his final, fatal job in Cologne in 1260...


Also, I have started researching PTSD and acute trauma to get his reaction right when he finally loses it, which he will, because there's a trigger waiting for him in Milliways that is sure to send him raving at first encounter...
