Interesting place you've got here. Thank you for the [...] warm welcome.

[DM: BRODERICK BEST]

Dear Dr Best,

I have been informed that you are the former Head Librarian at this institution and the current Head of Knowledge. I am the Head Librarian at Quest Fellowship and will be visiting for the next little while. Please do let me know if it would be possible to inspect peruse your facilities. I've read some of your work, and am interested to hear your thoughts and experiences within this iteration of the Society thus far.

Sincerely,
Elliott Woodhouse, BA, MLIS, PhD
Head Librarian
Quest Fellowship

You're welcome! We Adventurers pride ourselves on our hospitality.

[bookplate]

Well, you're very kind. My name is Elliott Woodhouse, I'm the Head Librarian at Quest Fellowship. May I ask who you are?

[doornails]

Gracia Quintanilla, I'm just I'm in charge of [...] documenting everything going on.

How much do you know about the reasons behind all this hullabaloo??

[bookplate]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ms Quintanilla. It's extremely important to have good documentation, so I am sure you are a very important part of the team here.

Our bosses have a longstanding rivalry—they used to be friends at some point, but they are no longer such.

[geminids]

sure ain't boring

[bookplate]

I can see that. Seems as though there was bloodshed within the first five minutes of our arrival. Impressive, really.

How are you this fine evening?

[geminids]

well yeah but that was kind on your boss wasn't it. like he threw the gauntlet pretty publicly. normally there's no beatdowns til the tuesday all-hands

fine

[bookplate]

Well, he did send a warning. This isn't the first time. I'm not defending his actions, but he did give notice for your boss to prepare for it.

Splendid.

I think we can dispense with the formality Dr. Woodhouse, I'd be more than happy to speak with you about the Society. In fact, I've been trying to pin down your illustrious founder for some time now.

[...] What work have you read?

Broderick.

[bookplate]

Very well. In that case, I would very much like to speak to you about your Society, and in turn, answer any questions about mine that you may have. I apologise on behalf of my founder. He can be [...] scattered at times. Perhaps you'll have better luck speaking with him in person.

Various papers you wrote on the history of magic, social and political practices of magic, history of supernatural political movements, cultural understandings and uses of death magic and the afterlife while you were a professor at Gwydion Supernatural University. Fascinating stuff.

This is a bit of a career detour for you, isn't it, Dr Best?

Elliott

[abracadavers]

You needn't apologize, I'm not going to apologize for the sad excuse for a founder our Society currently has. It's hardly anyone's fault that they were convinced to participate under potentially false pretenses. Have you always been a librarian?

Fascinating, well. Thank you. Do you have a particular interest in the history of magic?

That's a pretty impertinent question, Dr. Woodhouse. I'm on sabbatical, I'm still a professor there.

[lepreconned]

Warm because of all the blood, right? Personally, I thought it could have been warmer.

[bookplate]

Don't say that, you'll only encourage them.

[buildabitch]

i'd like to see the rematch.

[whywolves]

I hope you enjoy your stay!

[bookplate]

Thank you! I sincerely appreciate your hospitality. It was lovely to meet you, however briefly. I hope we get to meet each other properly during our visit.

[whywolves]

We'll have to make a point of it! Are you going to the Boneyard for Happy Hour?

[sealskinsuit]

It isnae all that interesting, really. Why’re you even bothering with us?

[bookplate]

[...] You don't think your organisation is of interest to anyone?

[sealskinsuit]

We throw proms and make doodads and everyone is always kissing. We’re not hurting anyone. Your boss should let us be.

[amibousa]

You're not welcome.

[bookplate]

All right.

[amibousa]

You should leave.
