"Well then, Newcomer. Let us see what we can make of you."

When players go on hiatus, they may choose to have their characters go on travels with Methuselah for an amount of time. Here, out in the wilds, they will spend time honing a skill — trapping, archery, tracking, fire-craft, field-dressing, fishing. This, however, will come with a price: injury and illness are common, and the exchange OOCly is character being injured along the way, or getting ill. Rest assured, Methuselah will look after a character when something unfortunate befalls them — and he will safely return them back to the safety of Milton.

While he is a man of few words, and unused to companionship for the most part — he will talk to characters about things. He will be focused on the task at hand, the skill they're working on, he may tell stories he has grown up with — folk tales, and off the like. But he is also sympathetic to the plight of the Interlopers, and will do his best to help them in terms of information.

Characters will be able to ask Methuselah questions whilst on travels with him, but this is limited to only three. Players/characters must choose their questions carefully, and Methuselah will try his best to answer them. Characters may not like the response given, but that's the chance they have to take.

Here, you will find interactions with Methuselah: short threads that can be played out or handwaved with Mod discussion. Handwaved interactions can simply be the three questions posted by character and the response.

Please note that this is only open to players who have gone on Hiatus and chosen Option Two, and following the acceptance of this by Mods. This feature is entirely optional.

An organised list of all information discovered can be read here.

1. "Do you have any family?"

2. Reluctantly, "I know it's not him, he's not really here, but... he comes by invitation. Are my hallucinations... solely my own? Have you ever seen your loved ones and knew they weren't really there?"

3. "Do you know my true nature?" Is Louis talking about being a vampire or being gay, who can say?

1. "The simple answer is 'no'. But that answer is particularly short. I have no wife to speak of. No children, nor grandchildren. My parents have long since returned to the earth, as have my siblings. I have... always been solitary. Except, perhaps, I would consider the townsfolk of Milton as a kind of family. As solitary as I am, they were good people and I enjoyed returning to town from my journeys to be amongst them. I miss them terribly, but it brings me joy to know some of them still yet live in Silverpoint.

2. "The mind is a cruel thing, one the heart must often suffer. I see no other here with us. ... Perhaps at times I have also found myself deceived by what my mind tells my heart to see, yes. I feel that is the price we must pay, sometimes."

3. "Do you ask for my approval and acceptance? Or my distain and disgust? It is no business of mine as to what you are. You are here. You exist. And in spite of all current circumstances: isn't that an incredible thing? And incredible that I am here to witness it."
