Yeah, I was also not aware that creatures like that were still a thing? I mean, I guess that's probably a good thing, because if we heard about them all the time, that would be extremely bad.

I wonder if we do not hear about them because they are rarely a problem, or if because others have been taking care of them? Like the Xander person who sent so many ravens.

[...] You know what? That's probably true. He did say that we were stealing his thing. I looked him up and he sounded pretty legit.

Yes. He seems ridiculous but maybe his fellowship is good.

Apparently they're very well-established. Moreso than us if you believe what the internet has to say.

He's probably ridiculous because he's rich and old.

Yes, probably. Cadmus also seems ridiculous.

I hope whatever is going on with them does not cause a problem for everyone here. It is good if our society is helping people. You were brave to face a creature like that.

It kind of seems like it might just be an ancient vampire thing. Like Jeff Bezos times ten.

I hope it sorts itself out. Surely there's room for two groups to help people? And thank you. I don't feel like I did much (you should have seen Velvet out there!) but everyone's still alive so I guess that counts for something.

That does not bode well for us as workers.

Yes, I think there should be given we are willing to go anywhere. I would bet you are underselling your contributions, though I am sure Velvet was impressive.

I don't think he can do anything without us, though. He needs us.

I made it woozy and burned it slightly. That's about it.

Do you think he ever imagined he'd go on the missions himself?

So you damaged it and did not make it grow any more heads.

I don't think rich people ever imagine doing anything themselves. They just want the credit.

I mean, yes? That's what I was trying to do, but it just didn't kill them as much as I'd hoped it would (not that I want to kill anything, but it was going to attack the nearby villages if we didn't stop it).

But they must get bored. And paying for other people to do exciting things is not much more exciting than paying for anything else.

I think doing anything to something dinosaur-sized is impressive, but I am sure your experience from this will help you do more if you end up in another situation like it. Did you get hurt at all?

I still haven't figured out if it's the glory he wants, or something else. Like, he apparently ruined my life and got me fired from my old job, but for what? Why would someone do that?

I hope so! I think I would like to try another mission, and hopefully accomplish more next time. And just barely! I tripped and scraped my knee but that was it. I had made a forcefield bubble that protected me from anything worse.

[...] He what?

I am sure you can do it. It is good to hear you are already so good at protecting yourself.

Oh yeah, my dad said that he's the reason the university pulled my funding and killed my research project. But he also might have been lying. I dunno.

Thank you! I think it was one of the better inventions I made for the mission. Is the one I gave you still working out or do I need to work on it more?

I am so sorry, Byron. Are you okay being here? Either way, that is horrible.

It is working very well. Thank you again. I am going to use it to try being drunk tomorrow.

I don't have anywhere else to be. And Broderick seems to be doing well. I thought maybe I could use the resources here to finish my PhD.

Oooh, fantastic! Let me know how it goes! I'm so happy it works!

It is good that there are silver linings. I can understand why Cadmus would want to hire you so badly, because you are amazing, but I cannot understand going to those lengths. Why would he not just make you a large, honest offer? Or at least attempt that first? He had you blaming yourself for "messing up" your opportunity at the university. And your father let you believe it?

I will. I do not think I will ever be able to thank you enough for this. People say emptyheaded as if it is a bad thing, but I have never felt so at peace.

I know. Both Cadmus and my father are assholes. I think they only think about what benefits them, not how it affects other people. [...] I probably would not have gotten bitten by a werewolf if both of them had just left me alone. My father and I are still not on speaking terms.

I'm glad! Perhaps I should make some version of it for myself, so I stop overthinking things.

It is one thing for a stranger to be that way, and another for you to have to deal with it from your father. It is good that you are taking distance. [...] How did they contribute to you getting bitten?

Perhaps. Although you may want to try something like the bus stop hat you created first. So you can let the thoughts pass through without other distractions until you are able to quiet yourself.

I hit rock bottom and went on a depressive, self-destructive bender. I'm not proud of it, but my research was my whole life.

That's a good idea. Perhaps I can make one of the mountains back home.

It is understandable that you would. It is all very unfair.

Are they very beautiful? You seem to find a lot of peace outdoors.

Thank you. Hopefully I can turn it around.

They are. They're very peaceful. Maybe we can portal there sometime.

I am sure you will be able to. I think you could probably do anything.

I would enjoy that very much.

I just want to do something meaningful, thank you.

Do you have good hiking boots? I would suggest good boots.
