I picked up a ring for my wife the other day from a travelling salesman...it was a little more than I bargained for, I must admit

Are you sure he wasn't saying something about you but your wife? Or is that you, thinking that about your wife?

[crazymaking]

I don't think either. I doubt he knew what I wanted it for.

[innocencefaux]

You have reason to acquire a ring like that, though. Is everything all right, Magister?

[crazymaking]

I bought it when it was offered, that's certain enough. Don't you like the idea of owning a mysterious magical object?

[anemonene]

An oxymoron. Others are a kind of evil thought.

[crazymaking]

That is the Citadel's interpretation.

[anemonene]

A reality the Hour has forced us to accept.

[crazymaking]

Why not ask an Other where they come from? The answer seems rarely to be 'I sprang fully formed from man's evil nature'...

[firstsyzygy]

Virtuousness? What do you mean? Does your wife go around performing good deeds all day?

[crazymaking]

It seems more to protect against temptations.

We should get one for Vance.

[firstsyzygy]

Well, that's not nearly as exciting as I expected.

The damn thing would probably explode the second we got it on his finger.

Have you any new ideas on what should be done? I keep running straight into dead ends.

[crazymaking]

Useful, nonetheless.

Lena Cosimo has begun to be affected by Belief also. Apparently, she grows tempted to drown people...attempted to murder someone recently.

A great deal of concerns have been brought to me recently, all to do with Belief, and Godric's use of it. Even from those outside of the Hour. People appear to be calling more and more for him to face some kind of punishment. I fear that their ire turns on the entire Hour, rather than simply him. No, I do not fear; I know. He must be stopped urgently. We may have to turn to drastic actions

[oculte]

Magic? You are sure?

[crazymaking]

Oh, yes.

[Filter: Ermesinda]

I was hoping to speak to you actually, Miss Ermesinda.

[oculte]

[Filter: Ree Jones]

[have some side-eye at 'miss']

I did not do it.

[crazymaking]

[Filter: Ermesinda]

Do what?

[a long pause to consider the matter once he's written the filter out]

I see. Ah, but. Well.

Why tell me?

[crazymaking]

[Filter: Ezra Naevin]

We're about to stage basically a hostile take over. It's for the best you know the truth of it. So you won't stop us.

[do_your_best]

[Filter: Magister Rhea Jones]

Ah. Yes, I suppose... I suppose you would have good reason to think that.

Am I to be included in this?

[crazymaking]

[Filter: Ezra Naevin]

We'll take care of it. Don't worry.
