…whom I can’t seem to reach to ask permission, so Mustafo, if you find the place, I’m teefing this excerpt – and I adore you for keeping it online all this time!

How I Got The Nickname “Cupcake” from Erik:

Sagan smirks.
Mustafo says, “but it was a great time”
Mustafo grins.
Sagan says, “I’ve always been a practial joker.”
Sagan smirks.
Mustafo chuckles.
Mustafo says, “tis what they said”
Sagan says, “I remember coming into Town Square West, and dropping a cupcake…and then going invisible…”
Mustafo nods.
Sagan says, “Just so I could drag it past Eivar, who was an empath on a chronic diet, in Town Square Central.”
Mustafo laughs out loud!
Mustafo asks, “got Eivar all worked up that day?”
Sagan says, “Many days. I had her chasing the cupcake around the Square several times.”
Mustafo chuckles.
Sagan asks, “You know the steel springs you find in chests after you disarm a trap?”
Mustafo says, “aye, all to well”
Sagan says, “I use to tell youngins, when they asked what the springs were for, that they belonged to Strom.”
Mustafo says, “hate where this is heading”
Mustafo grins.
Sagan says, “That they fell off of his rocking chair during an invasion, and the monsters took them. That he would reward them if they brought them back to him.”
Mustafo laughs out loud!
Mustafo flail his arms about.
Sagan says, “Strom use to fog to me at random times and stun me for up to fifteen minutes at a time.”
Mustafo pounds his head on the table and tries to hold his sides together
Sagan says, “Star Diopsides were what Pan needed to enchant armor.”
Mustafo asks, “ya needed those to enchant?”
Mustafo says, “oh”
Mustafo slaps himself on the forehead! Doh!
Sagan smirks.
Sagan says, “I guess it still works.”
Mustafo asks, “can you says gullible?”
Mustafo flail your arms about.
Sagan smirks.

It’ll go into the Erik archive but for now just wanted to share what I found. The full text of the interview including a lot of our old buddies from GS3 is at this location. A fun read!
