Idle curiosity, but who here has taken it upon themselves to learn any new skills since they've showed up here?

I've been teaching myself to cook, but I really consider that more of a practical thing and less something that I picked up for the sake of learning, you know?

The thought crossed my mind to learn another language, but we all kind of did that already, didn't we? I suppose I could teach someone instead, but if you want to take me up on the offer, there's sadly not enough orcs here for you to practice with.

To be fair, there's a millennia-old feud running on and off between elves and orcs in my world because the elf god stole the orcish birthright from the orc god Gruumsh, and then put out Gruumsh's eye.

It's a long story and honestly only mildly interesting. I was actually punched in the gut by Gruumsh in the brief period where I was dead and in the afterlife, but that's also how orcs greet each other, so don't read too much into it.

[ Also, Gruumsh wasn't too bad; he's more like the boomer uncle who shows up at family holiday gatherings and has some very unfortunate opinions than some greater evil. ]

It is still a better tale than mine.

In my world, orcs were elves, originally. Taken, enslaved, broken and corrupted. Tis why they hate us so.
