Hook is not going to just let this go.

Anyone who can successfully identify to me - confidentially - any Tales or non-Tales who currently are in possession of Atheneum magical property will receive a handsome reward

What.

[kissthehook]

Do you need something explained to you?

[hip_hopper]

That's like. Wrong.

[kissthehook]

I hate to break it to those of you who believe that "morals" exist in every story, but right and wrong are objective.

[getoffmybridge]

Oh! Me! Can I help toss people out? Dude, that would be fucking SWEET!

[kissthehook]

Of course, Bob.

But if lead me to any of the items that are still missing, I'll reward you with something even better.

[bbgoat]

Why would people who had magical items be living at the Pentamerone still?

[kissthehook]

Obviously I won't be kicking out those with magical items necessarily. That part is simply a convenient connection to start punishing people for a nameless crime. Of course, punishments can be avoided if I am provided with names.

[fathergander]

Look who's making tyranny fashionable.

[kissthehook]

Shove it, old man. You'll be thanking me when we've gotten certain items back in our hands. You're just too weak-willed to get them yourself.

[fathergander]

Well, if that isn't the pot calling the kettle wrinkled.

We'll see who gets results. I happen to be the one with Sam Spade in my court, while you've got the collected Marx Brothers.

[kissthehook]

Yes, because all of your efforts have been so very effective so far.

[tookeen]

I KNOW SOME CAN I JUST SAY THAT

Do you really need all the magic stuff back right away?

[kissthehook]

Yes.

[Private to Max]

Dear God, please tell me you don't have any of them.

Patricia.

[tookeen]

No way, Jose Patricia! But I'm totally going to ask around and stuff for you, if that's OK.

Max.

[kissthehook]

I would appreciate that very much. It is very important to me that we I get them back as soon as possible.
