Has anyone heard of Merlinnials (Millenials4Merlin.geocities.org)? Apparently some ~~fuckwit~~ charlatan claims he's Merlin reincarnated and has been performing magical "miracles" for all his followers.

The Society for Merlin reached out to me after they couldn't get a hold of [...] Bonaventure. They've asked for our help.

Briar and Cinder had a good thought about whether Scantlebury has been acting alone in the disappearances. It may mean nothing, but I pulled a few records from the archives and Jameson Standards, Yana Getgood, and Hippolyta Pottebaum have all been here since the first iteration. At the very least, they must know something.

We shouldn't leave this unfinished business with Dorr too much longer, especially given everything that's going on.

Byron and I think it's bullshit. We can't know for sure, but Welsh wizards love to claim even an 1/8 of that bloodline. Bonaventure is the only one who seemed to have more "proof."

Identifying what he is exactly is a good first step, but each new piece of information I find makes me want to bleach my brain.

Great, I'll reach out to Elliot as well. He was more than happy to help us the last time.

So what you're saying is I already am a cult leader, leading my flock of sheep.

[NPEM]
If they were in on it, and not actually trapped or disappeared as they appeared to be.

Jameson is the worst one, but also that's kind of an energy vampire's deal.

I think it'll be the best chance we have of accessing the bastard. And no, absolutely not.

I'm not not saying that.

[NPEM]
That's a very, very long con.

I don't suppose he's being using that to mess with us at all.

What about the other two?

Perhaps. I don't know. I avoid him.

Yana: also evil.
Hippolyta: not evil, just annoying.

I bet I could get the wool textile industry to finance my cult.

[NPEM]
Maybe not, if there are more disappeared individuals between then and now that we don't know about. Or if this isn't actually them. We don't know what's been going on here beyond what's been made public. I'm not saying they're in on it, we should just be wary.

It's true. They'd love for you to be the face of Big Wool.

[NPEM]
Maybe I don't want to go anywhere with them, then. What if we have a Body Snatchers situation on our hands?

Great, as long as I can be clothed I'm in.

No chance of him just being a regular wizard pretending to be Merlin?

[NPEM]
Yes, he certainly was.

[Broderick]
And, also, how are you doing?

we already proved that wrong when i got fired from my last post, remember.

i take back what i said. i'd actually make a great cult leader.

what were they doin for the middle hundred years

I'm sure nobody's body has been snatched. Let's not get more hysterical just yet, the snowglobes were enough sci-fi/horror for now.

Doubtful, if he's taking advantage of the repealed laws it's because he isn't a witch or wizard himself. Maybe he's always wanted to be though?

[NPEM]
Ha, ha.

[Maya]
I'm fine, as much as one can be given the current situation. You?

Aye-aye Captain.

[BESTS]
How are you holding up? Don't say 'fine'.

Dress for water though. It looks like he's doing his miracle from a catamaran...sponsored by Spirit Halloween.

He was threatened, you're basically a werewolf Tom Cruise.

You'd just skip straight to nudist colony.

Would be pretty ingenious.

~~Her haircut gave it awa~~ Yana has been Cadmus' voice since we got here, she's definitely the best positioned in all of this. I wonder if Baudelaire remembers her.

[...] what's that even MEAN, he's tiny. and weird.

it's efficient.

Great question, I'm going to check and see if there are more record of them in the archives in those years. Will check public records too in case they were employed elsewhere.

You just answered your own question.
