Solo is a historic area in Central Java. The city's past has a lot to do with the history of the Dutch colonial era. Solo also has the Surakarta and Mangkunegaran Palace, so tracing the past in Solo is a must for tourists. From the long history of Solo there is a place that can encapsulate the past, the Radya Pustaka Museum. This museum is one of…

I kinda want to run a forum game based on STALKER, but I don’t have the time right now.

Recently, @charcoalfeather and I held a conversation where we entereained the idea of her character Sam, from her exceptional series, Basmachi, meeting the main characters in an Alternate version of Two White Crows.... here are the results:

Meeting Dyusha: "Sam suddenly found his head wedged neatly between two sides of a broken table. Apparently the Kalmyk did not take kindly to jokes about the Church."

Meeting Radya: "Being a man of civil, genteel manners, Radya refrained from treating his ungrateful guest with any signs of scorn. However, as Sam made lewd remarks about Radya's nanny, Radya's hand somehow stabbed a pen quil through Sam's hand. Sam howled like a baby."

Meeting Dunya: “Dunya welcome she and her husband's odd guest with generosity. She smiled and presented the bread and salt. Sam said, 'My, what a cute dish YOU are!" Dunya then proceeded to shove the loaf down his large, gaping mouth. Dyusha somehow found himself kicking the lights of the garrulous youth." 

Meeting Konstantin: "Sam passed by a church on Kirsanov's estate. 'What mongrel freak! He's damn ugly too! Can't believe he's a sucker, he bought my lie about needing a place to stay for the night!" Sam snorted and sniggered. Behind the corner, a tall, fair priest emerged. He frowned at Sam. Sam was terrified and nearly blacked out. The priest smashed his shovel (he was digging a new step) over Sam's head. 'Repent, ye sinner!' The priest declared. Sam did not repent but had a large bump on his head."

Meeting Sydorenko: "Because the Cossack disliked filthy jokes, Sam was the first victim of the Cossack Sydorenko's boot planted on his posterior quite adamantly."

Meeting Gavril: “Sam liked to ridicule Armenians. Gavril had no trouble explaining how his horse suddenly trampled over the whimpering youth Sam."

Meeting Oleg: "Oleg was starving. Like Esau, if anyone stole his food, he became irate and his fist would do the talking. Sam's face met Oleg's hammy fist when the youth pilfered Oleg's fruit tarts."

Meeting Galnin: 'Samsa, do you enjoy 'so-and-so's work? I've thought of adapting his work for the stage!" Galnin announced to his new companion, the contemptible Sam. Sam snorted, "What trash! Your taste is in your mouth, you dumb serf!" Galnin found himself bewildered. He then called on his officer, Major Kirsanov to pound the life out of the insulting youth. Galnin was appeased"

Meeting Alta/ “Sam scrunched his nose when he saw the little Alta trot along his new horse. "Eh! Are you Kirsanov's ugly little offspring?" Sam snorted, assuming the boy spoke no Russian, since Alta only spoke Oirat with Dyusha. "Not as ugly as you!" Alta laughed. Sam's grin fell flat. He panicked. What if that damn Kirsanov heard him?
