As an update: the arcade game that vanished has been located in the Archives where it will be closely monitored. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get your money back.

The Knowledge Department encourages you not to trust suspicious (and probably nefarious) pixelated fortune-tellers with your future. Though I'm also obligated to say that divination is a "legitimate" legitimate magical practice and that if you have questions you can visit Grego Gregory. Personally, I think you can trust yourselves best.


Now. Who the hell belongs to these cats?

Elliott got back to me and confirmed that Yana, Jameson and Hippolyta left QF with Cadmus and have been around since the start. He also confirmed that Yana is a shapeshifter...not that this is a surprise to any of us.

You got yourself into Uni, Byron. Don't diminish that.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Yeah, but you hooked me up.

Bests

[abracadavers]

I only told them to meet with you.

Bests

[wizardjr]

So? I can still be thankful.

Bests

[abracadavers]

Fine. Just as long as you don't diminish your own accomplishment. I'm proud of you, and given it's also your 30s we want it to be special.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Thank you. Love you.

Are you doing okay with everything?

Bests

[abracadavers]

I love you too.

I'm getting antsy. We need to act soon before anything worse happens.

[...] the little arcade hack told me love may not be enough. Charming isn't it?

Bests

[wizardjr]

We're almost done clearing everything on the map, I feel like we should find Cadmus' hoard soon. Something like that's got to be using up a lot of magical energy.

[...] What does that even mean, anyway? You could interpret that as like, you still have to eat/drink/breathe as well as love, you know? It's all poppycock.

Bests

[abracadavers]

You make a good point. If we're able to narrow an area down further (like where Dad disappeared) perhaps we can break down the magic. If there were ghosts here this would be a hell of a lot easier.

Exactly, generic drivel.

[...] Do you...Dad said something to me at the Gala and it reminded me of something he said when Miles and I first got married. [...] Do you think I love selfishly? I want you to be honest with me.

Bests

[wizardjr]

What? No. Of course not. You give people everything you have and then some. You're the most selfless person I've ever known, for Christ's sake.

Dad's never done a selfless thing in his life, what the fuck does he know? He's not capable of love. I'll fucking kill him.

Bests

[abracadavers]

Obviously he was being a colossal dickhead. [...] There's a lot about my relationship with Miles that I've been thinking about the past two years and what he said may have touched on a few of those darker thoughts and I'm

[...] And sometimes I worry that I don't love you all the way you deserve. That I'm...suffocating you all, that it isn't what you actually need.

Bests

[wizardjr]

He was just trying to get under your skin because his feelings were hurt. Miles loved you. Would you have deprived him of being with the man he loved in his final years? Being selfish would have been leaving him just when he needed you most.

I hope I've never made you feel that way. I feel so grateful that you still love me and stick with me despite it all. You're like, my safe place, as stupid as that sounds. All I've ever wanted was to be just like you.

Bests

[abracadavers]

Christ, Byron. That's [...] I will always love you, that's not conditional on anything.

Bests

[wizardjr]

[...] Did I say too much?

Bests

[abracadavers]

No, of course not. Thank you.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Of course.

Don't let our shithead sperm donor get to you, yeah? I know that's easier said than done, but we should really just cut contact with him once he's been rescued.

Bests

[abracadavers]

We should. I think we need to speak to everyone else about that.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Yeah, we probably should. It's been a long time coming.

Bests

[abracadavers]

After he's found.

Bests

[wizardjr]

And we will find him, unfortunately.

His magical signature hasn't faded at all, so he's not dead.

Bests

[abracadavers]

No, if he was I'd know about it at least.

How are you feeling ahead of the full moon?

Bests

[wizardjr]

Can you imagine how insufferable he'd be as a ghost?

[...] You know what? Fine, actually. It sucks, but I've made peace with it.

Bests

[abracadavers]

Oh he'd make haunting his entire purpose.

What happened with that unicorn...stuff?

Bests

[wizardjr]

I'm sure you'd banish him quickly.

Gonna try it. Worked for Maya. I dunno. I'm still going camping.

Bests

[abracadavers]

He'd probably find a way to turn into a demon.

And you should, you should do whatever you want on your birthday as nerv. I hope it helps though.
