There are some schoolchildren on some sort of tour in the hallway? One of them asked for my autograph, which was weird, but then it turned out they thought I was Baby Driver.

Has anyone else's egg wish come true?

[BRODERICK]

Thanks to your speaking to Gwydion on my behalf, I'm going to be allowed to transfer my research there and finish my PhD. Since I'm a "special case", if all goes well I can graduate in December.

Thanks again.

I'll also be helping the discord werewolves with some research this summer. Everything's coming up Milhouse, etc.

I've made some magical pea popper keychains that will pop you out of any dangerous situation, just in case. Simply pop the pea and it'll instantly teleport you to this public art piece. It'll also alert anyone else with a keychain to your being in danger. I looked into talismans that were more [...] weapony, but there weren't a lot of options that would work for everyone (eg. a silver charm might help you but would hurt me, etc). Hope this works in the meantime.

one of em wanted to ride the nian beast so now all of em wanna ride the nian beast. apparently they're gonna write a petition.

they're feral.


fuckin love kids.

[...] idk about my egg wish though, ain't up to me to know

[wizardjr]

I didn't know riding the nian beast was an option? Kids are great.

Well, fingers crossed for you!

[geminids]

cause it ain't.

[geminids]

hey thanks these are cool [...] not poppin these lil peas is gonna take a lot of self control though. they look fun.

NPEM

[wizardjr]

Fortunately for you, I thought this might come up, and there are ALSO non-magical ones that you can pop to your heart's content.

NPEM

[abracadavers]

Not in the library though.

NPEM

[geminids]

you're the best best

[abracadavers]

Kids these days don't read Wizarding World Magazine? There's hope for the future. I had a few in my office asking why my brain wasn't bigger if I was the Head of Knowledge.

I'll have to ask the person I wished about. What about you?

[BESTS]
Byron that's fantastic! You don't need to thank me at all, this is all you and your own genius impressing them. Of course they want to hitch their name onto your research. Who are these werewolves? I want to hear everything over that celebratory drink I'm about to buy you.

[wizardjr]

Right? I'm glad they don't. Also: wow. Harsh.

I'm good. I've got more clarity of purpose than I have in a long time.

[BESTS]
I still want to thank you, so thank you. Their names are Drs Davies and Cadwallader. You might remember their big claim to fame, a tome on lunar phases, death magic, and the Underworld in ancient Mesopotamia.

I would like to know all the tea on them over that drink.

[abracadavers]

I told them I have so much brain I put the excess in a jar, but I've misplaced it. They're on the lookout for me now.

That's great Byron. Would you say you're happy then?

[BESTS]
I do, I'm a big fan. Marion and I actually co-wrote a paper when I was an associate professor - I hadn't realized she was a werewolf now. I'll give you all of the tea, you just work on getting yourself properly wankered. Congratulations Byron, I'm proud of you.

I have to ask you for a favour as well.

NPEM

[abracadavers]

Thanks Byron, this is great. Are there any limitations? Can the teleportation be blocked?

NPEM

[wizardjr]

Not that I know of. I've tested them against various wards and forcefields, and it's bypassed all of them.

They're like the things I made to pop you out of the Archives but 2000 times better.

NPEM

[abracadavers]

Genius. Do you think you can make a few more? Is the teleportation specific to just a single user, because I'm wondering if things get...challenging, these could help in a quick rescue for anyone who doesn't have one themselves.

[werewho]

Hard to determine if health and safety has been applied to the society at large but I hope so.

I don't think that the kids have found their way to Healing quite yet.

[NPEM]
This is amazing, Byron. Thanks for these.

I'll pick up one for Sharona too, she's back now but I haven't gotten to give her the full update of everything we've learned since she left yet.

[wizardjr]

Health and safety for everyone in society seems like it could take awhile.

I'm sure you'll get to meet them in time.

[NPEM]
You're welcome. My pleasure.

Of course! Hope she had a good break.

[osmotheque]

I can safely say that I have never been called 'bruh' quite so many times prior to this afternoon.

[NPEM]
Thank you!

And weaponry may be useful, certainly. But these are functional and unassuming. Which is quite useful in its own right.

[wizardjr]

Well, I hope they said it respectfully.

[NPEM]
You're welcome. Of course!

I do hope they're helpful. I can continue to look into unassuming weaponry options but at least with these, we no longer have to worry about being trapped.

NPEM

[bahbie]

That is such a public place to pop into!

NPEM

[wizardjr]

I figured the more public it is, the safer it is! Kind of like meeting a blind date.

[eldith]

Hmm. I think you do both have bread face bone structure.

[wizardjr]

[...] What does that mean? Like, shaped like toast?

NPEM

[arietids]

This is a good idea, thanks. And for now probably better to just get out of harm's way instead of confronting it.

How does it alert when someone else uses it?

NPEM

[wizardjr]

I agree. Especially since most of us don't have any form of fight training.

I'm glad you asked! It's telepathic. It's like a little pager goes off in your brain.

[trylla]

Did you find clarity

[wizardjr]

I think I did!
