About this image

- How´s the fish, kid?
- Please, miss, call me Mamahei. I´m Mamahei, son of AmuseiỊ Not a kid anymore. I can hunt now like my dad. I hunted the big ugly fishỊ
- O.K., O.K., sorry, you are *The Great Mamahei* now :) So, Is it roasted enough for you? Must be, watching you eating so eagerly...
- Oh, no, miss Mircalla. Not so roasted. Just a bit. But I like. My father, he big fisher. As soon as he captures the big ugly fishes, he devours them, you know. But I like a little fire to roast my big fishỊ
- Call me MC, Mamahei. Yeah, lucky you that my campsite was around, and I can watch you having dinner (sigh)... Now, eat it all and go back to your hut before your father starts to get nervous about his son the great fisherman´s whereaboutsỊ :D

This could be the story within this picture. But it has another...

Some years ago, I was already playing Oblivion with mods, when I started to get most impressed with the pictures other fans posted around, and most of all with the funny ones. I spent hours watching some of them, particularly some famous series, and ROFLing so much.

One day, when MC, my char, was just starting her adventure, going from here to there, night time came by the Imperial City, so I used my Portable Campsite to spend the night by the waterfront huts - I was trying to play in a very realistic way in the beginning :) And then, as soon as it was all ready, Mamahei, an argonian kid from the City Life mod, came to my camp, sat on my stool and began to eat his dinnerỊ It was so natural I dare to call it magic. Quickly, I stroke a pose, and a less complicated, but totally improvised, photo similar to this one, was made.

It was my first posted picture. Unfortunately, the original is lost. But, imagine my surprise when one of my picture-making heroes commented it and liked itỊ It was very nice for me, who had spent hours of fun with his fantastic captures and his sense of humor... Since then, when I have time, I get myself very busy with this picture-making business. And, an Argonian kid, and a true master of humor are to blame, for transmitting me the magic and the fun of it.

So, I present you a not-so-improvised (quite the opposite) remake of my first pictureỊ Thanks for reading, and watching.

    Glad you liked it, guys And a little sorry about not been able to show you the original, non-staged, picture anymore.

    A nice little story to your image and and an interesting background info to it.
    Yeah, it's always surprising and (sometimes) funny if NPC's do something "strange" and unexpected.

    I liked reading it .. very nice capture - reminds me of the beggar-lady in the ICMarket district who comes sometimes into my house .. that's always a nice surprise when a npc makes something "unexpected" ..

    Instant captures are almost the best among others.
    Great photo and description.
