Because I know this will be devastating to many of you: the local coffee shop down the street is turning into a Starbucks.

[KNOWLEDGE DEPARTMENT]

For those new to the Department, I hope you're settling in well. A reminder that I'm available if you should have any questions, and also that the lounge conversation pit is deceptively deep. We'll get an outing scheduled for the lot of us soon, I'm open to suggestions.

I'd also like to gage your interest about this Department and Society hosting a symposium or conference. The breadth of knowledge and discovery shared here should not be contained. I think it could be an opportunity for Quest to start holding an annual one, with the different satellite societies taking turns to host. It will draw more experts and those enthusiastic about Adventuring, while also giving eachother an opportunity to share and improve, maybe even develop professionally.

[DEPARTMENT HEADS]

Are you getting an increasing number of reporters trying to reach out to you about "that terrible business"? They're like vultures.

[BRACKEN]

Which one?

I wonder if that's all she actually ever saw in him.

Well, well. You're going to regret that.

Bests

[wizardjr]

I've really never understood what she or anyone could see in him.

I've got vampire money now. Bring it on.

Bests

[abracadavers]

He was certainly slick when he wanted to be.

Am I going to find you at the roulette table big spender?

Bests

[wizardjr]

I guess other people just don't know him like we do.

No, because gambling is stupid.

Bests

[abracadavers]

Other people haven't been his accessories for 30 years.

Money hasn't changed you, good.

Bests

[wizardjr]

He's more charming in small doses, I'd imagine.

I've actually been thinking about buying property instead.

Bests

[abracadavers]

Oh? Where abouts?

Bests

[wizardjr]

Wales, of course. With room to run around.

Bests

[abracadavers]

You going to let Bowan play real estate agent?

Bests

[wizardjr]

Why? Shouldn't I?

Bests

[abracadavers]

I think he'd know best, I just didn't know if you had something already in mind.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Nothing in particular, just something a bit more [...] isolated, I guess? Something rural?

Bests

[abracadavers]

Something like mine?

Bests

[wizardjr]

Yeah exactly, I mean not that I'm copying you or anything?

Bests

[abracadavers]

Byron, there's nothing to copy. You know I love my place, I don't plan on living anywhere else. If you can find somewhere that makes you feel that way too...that's all I want for you.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Will you help me shop?

Bests

[abracadavers]

An opportunity to have opinions on things? Absolutely.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Good. Bowen's suggested three that I'm checking out this weekend.

Bests

[abracadavers]

You move fast. Where?

Bests

[wizardjr]

You gonna buy them out from under me?

Bests

[abracadavers]

You got me, I'm thinking of creating my own rural community actually. Make myself mayor.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Mayor of what? Cats and sheep?

Bests

[abracadavers]

Obviously. But mostly the people moving into my town, Byron.

Bests

[wizardjr]

Maybe I'll become the mayor of the town adjacent to yours. We can be rivals.
