To whoever might find this useful, I'm now the patron-by-proxy of all Ephes' magic users.

From what I can tell they're all very eager to help in whatever their patron might ask of them, and given how many people that accounts for there's a fair chance that if there's something you need done, I'll have somebody for the task.

What I don't have is a lot of money. [ And doesn't he just sound thrilled and not at all resentful about it. ] Should anyone wish to be so kind, I wouldn't turn down any generous donations made in the interest of the betterment of the citadel's magical community.

[ Public service announcement and desert-dry plea for somebody, anybody to give him some cash aside, that's everything, and he almost cuts it there - but actually, he'll need to get a sense for this sooner or later, so: ]

While I have your attention, it would be useful to know everyone's current stance on Messalina.

She makes weapon of a man-eater.

[rehandle]

Elaborate?

[downswing]

One of her creatures hunts men.


( #pacifist. )

[rehandle]

And she sends this man-eater out on purpose? Or is it doing what comes naturally?

[downswing]

A difference? When one asks peace. Alliance.

[rehandle]

Maybe not. Do you have plans for it?

[downswing]

For now, we limit its ventures.

[rehandle]

That sounds easier said than done.

[downswing]

He is... prolific.

[rehandle]

[ ... huh. ]

How bad?

[downswing]

Occupies us at each opportunity.

[rehandle]

Yikes.

Occupies you in what way?

[downswing]

He does not eat cleanly.

[rehandle]

[ Wait... ]

You're on clean up? How many of you?

[downswing]

Formally, only two purposed.

We fail to keep pace.

[rehandle]

I'm starting to understand the scale of the problem.

[downswing]

You might have hastened.
