Dreams in Solitude

Dervenin wanders his lord's temple in the Shivering Isle, it had been ages ago that his master had summoned him, but he had neglected to mention where exactly he was supposed to come to, so he wandered every inch of the land, to find his lord and master to be given his next command. Time may work differently here, but the passage of time can still be felt, if only in its own special way.

Eventually, the poor found his way to his master, standing underneath his own feet as if existing in some bizarre mirror-world. "Master, why, there you are. How can this worm serve you, my lord?"

Sheogorath vanished and appeared behind the worm that kissed his feet at every opportunity. He was wearing a dress today, something that is worn in Cyrodil by women with no shame. "Well my pathetic stowaway, since I've gotten back to work, well, back to play. Perhaps I never truly left? If your work is your play, and you are always playing, can you ever stop working? Well, doesn't matter, I'm working, playing, dreaming, SHOUTING, and I've decided to have a little more fun with the mortal humans. In the past, I'd pick a human who was already visiting my realm of madness. It was cozy and fun, easy even. No need to really do anything if they were already going to go mad all on their own.

"But that just seems boring now. I want to mess with some people who are sane! Maybe a baby, no, babies are too taste, I might mistake them for a sweet roll. Maybe a dog? No, there's only one sane dog and his master doesn't like me. Hmm, that could be fun, but later, maybe yesterday. Today I want to pick a funny little town, find a funny little human, and make them even funnier."

"But wherever shall you find a mortal this funny?" His beloved meat-sack asked.

"Why, Solitude of course. I had so much fun playing with their mad king for so long, the rest of that silly town must be filled with funny people. Let's just take a look and role the Jabberwack. Now where is it?"

"Sir, you gave your Jabberwak to the Dragonborn when he came to visit."

"Oh right, well then, Let's just spit and see what it lands on"
