to: everyone

Hello, all.

A query to those who might indulge my curiosity:

Have you noticed a pattern in the timing of new Summoned appearing where you are?

And, relatedly: when you arrived, what are some things you wished you were told about your new place of residence sooner rather than later?

[ Signed with a flourish, in case anyone was wondering. ]

No different from the pattern you might notice. Not many for a while after us, then a number of people, and then not so many for a while. It was two moons, wasn’t it?

You have a very fine hand.

More or less, by my estimation as well. I've asked around the castle to the same response, but I thought I'd see if anyone had noticed something different.

Thank you. Writing letters in the air like this is still a little strange. It gets the job done, in any case.

[ Hennessy's handwriting is stylistically interesting but messy, almost purposefully hurried, as though she couldn't have cared less but is incapable of making a mark on a page that displeases her.]

Yeah. I wish they'd told me that jail would slowly kill me and that I could only get out by letting Ronan Lynch babysit me.

[ She's still bitter about the whole jail thing, yep. ]

As for the rest of it, I think they can only manage it every other month or so. Maybe the Singularity doesn't have enough power for more.

[ An interesting theory, if true. Maybe her own magic would be safer just after a summoning round, less chance of accidentally dreaming something indescribably destructive. ]

[ Hey. At least it's legible. Rhy hasn't encountered anyone yet with penmanship so bad it's too difficult to read but... who knows. maybe someday. ]

Every other month was my estimate as well. Generally toward the beginning of the month to mid-month, right?

I did not realise you were one of those initially imprisoned.

wow I did not mean to bail on this

[impressionism]

[ Hennessy makes a face that can't be seen, but her annoyance with being imprisoned and having to be bailed out by Ronan Fucking Lynch will be with her until the day she dies. ]

Around then, yeah. I guess it makes sense to bring in a new group all at once so no one has to answer the same newbie questions every single day.

They weren't trying to get me. I was a mistake they couldn't trust, so into the dungeons I went.

Now here's a man asking the important questions. The whole "never leaving the castle" thing could have used a few footnotes.

[londonbound]

But we're allowed to leave the castle.

[subhuman]

Castle, castle city. Tomato, tomato. Either way we're not heading out to the beach anytime soon, are we?

[londonbound]

I see what you mean.

Do you resent it that much?

[subhuman]

Resent? I can't really complain when they're setting us up with basic utilities and clean sheets every night, but...

Rhy, you and I are men of the world, aren't we? Being cooped up behind these walls isn't good for us in the long rung.
