[filtered to Delilah]If it is not entirely obvious by my way of posting here for you, it appears as though I have, indeed, returned to this fair city. Report at your earliest convenience, Death, Fool. I require your status and that of the Earl Hargreaves'. Do not bother with silence, for simple observation tells me enough that you do, in fact,

Returned, and just when... But no, it was to be expected, foolish foolish Death, you are not the Fool to believe there was even the slightest chance of it ever being otherwise.

Even when not here, your hold over me was no less.

Would you care for the details over this...Network, or shall I report to you in person, Father.

What task is it that you wish of me, Cardmaster?

I shall require you to create for me a potion that will serve to render one unconscious for a controlled amount of time. Send it by way of one of the Trumps to flat number 42 in building eleven.

As for the report of which I asked, please proceed to divulge here.

How potent do you require it to be? If it is to be for a controlled amount of time I shall need to know approximately the length of time for which it is to be effective. I shall ensure it is delivered by the end of the day.

The Earl's acquaintances appear to remain the same as before, as does his place of residence. However he seems to have recently come into possession of a place of business. The Turnabout Café, to be precise. While he is employing a number of people there, it is my understanding that he visits it frequently to see to the running of the place.

My status remains as before. I am maintaining a small private practice and have been keeping a close eye on our deal Earl in your absence.

What I require is a tincture that would render one incapacitated for one day. However, I require more than one day's supply-- in fact, it must be a week's worth of whatever you do create. I shan't wish to be disappointed on this matter, as it is of great importance to the reputation of Delilah here within this city.

How entrepreneurial of him. Monitor him with a more careful eye as the week progresses-- I've the feeling he shall go about to playing detective, and I'd like to know precisely where he'll be dusting for fingerprints.

Oh, the things they blame me for, you'd think I was the devil, beguiling and buying souls.

He's opened up a cafe, a true businessman. He's also taken quite a suspicious look at myself.

Certainly, though, such is all mere conjecture on the part of rather unimaginative individuals.

To the first part, I shall say, indeed, that I've been informed of such. To the second, well... simply can't be helped, can it?

Certainly not. I welcome the challenge. If this City and it's Police insist on being boring, I must find my fun where I can.
