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.

He's cosplaying as a reincarnated Merlin, like the opportunistic degenerate he is - definitely has one of his followers playing behind a curtain or something.

[NPEM]
He demonstrates no talent at all and has no business being responsible for any of us.

Has he moved on to the part where he wishes for several wives or are we still only playing around in the 'watch me perform miraculous feats' stage?

[NPEM]
He has not been overly responsible for us at all, to be honest.

I really hope we don't show up to a Merlin Sister wives situation. The way he's taken advantage of these people is sick.

[NPEM]
No, his track record is pretty dismal considering he's actively attempting to collect us like insects. What's your sense of Hippolyta?

Sick and, unfortunately, quite common for cult leaders.

[NPEM]
It is not my favorite thing to be collected like, I will admit.

Creative, certainly. I can find little fault in her interior decorating choices. But fae are often best trusted with great care. They can, at times, be rather fickle. (A quick side note: Before you say a word, Briar, I am not calling myself fickle. I am unfairly generalizing an entire and multifaceted species.)

I'll call you fickle, then. And rude, with all that generalizing.

I was not inviting you to do so. Quite the opposite, actually. But as it is already done, do you think it more rude to be impolite generally or specifically? Asking for myself.

I know, but I enjoy being a pain.

Generally, for sure.

Oh, I am well aware. And you do so excel at it, bir tanem.

In that case, sometimes I cannot stand you specifically.

Been practicing my whole life.

The feeling's mutual.
