    Finished the Fighter's Guild quests today. There's an interrogation segment but all you do is the persuade mini-game until it's maxed and then bribe a few times. The guy who tells you to interrogate the prisoner then does a stick figure painting of it later on. I got a chuckle out of that. And I caught Vampirism but cured it right away. I killed a whole bunch of Ogres, bandits, and what I thought were goblins, but were actually innocents, because I was on a drug given to me by the Blackwood Company, a rival of the Fighter's Guild. It reminded me of the PS3 game Haze where you're a soldier on a drug, doing the dirty work for some evil corporation. I was redeemed though and got to the top rank of Master in the Guild.

   After that I went to join the Thieves Guild and had a little trouble finding the guy to talk to about it. I thought all I had to do was steal something, go to jail, and then someone would approach me. Well, this is true but only in the Imperial City. I was off in Chorrol and no one came for me. So I went to the Imperial City and followed up on the Grey Fox rumors and it led me to the guy who initiates new members into the guild with a test mission, which I then botched just like I did twice before with different characters. I can never do that first mission right! You have to race against another thief to get a diary from someone's house and she always gets it first. In trying to find her afterwards, I got chased out of the city by guards who saw me in the house and ended up in Chorrol again, where I decided to join the Mage Guild instead.

   I got through most of the Mage Guild's Recomendation tasks before I had to quit. I sold all my fighter's armor and weapons and ran around in a loin cloth and lots of bling on my hands and neck. I was ripped baby and those Argonian females love some Nord muscle, that's for sure. I actually thought about how I would kiss those reptile faces full of sharp teeth. Eventually I got a magic cloak and magician's hat. Also, I had to reorganize my quick-menu with all spells and scrolls. I was going pure magic with no weapons or armor. 

    After I slept one night, I got a message that the female thief who had beaten me in that first mission for the Thieves Guild had been accepted, and that I could try another mission to get in if I came back. I said, no way to that, and went back to bed. Mages sleep late.
