FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Kostos
RECIPIENT: Everybody
WHAT: Nothing remotely inflammatory
WHEN: Time is a manmade construct and I refuse to be bound by it
NOTES: Context.

The next time any of us— [ That isn't an all-inclusive us; he means, specifically, mages and rifters and maybe templars, but everyone can figure that out on their own. Or not. He doesn't care. ] —is in the position to make demands, I think we should make sure we have a say in which rifters go to which Circles. We could pick in turns. Like choosing teams.

[ That's all. ]

Only every other day, and never like that.

[altusimperius]

Like what.

[exequy]

Don’t play stupid. Your face [ that he can’t see ] might get stuck that way.

[altusimperius]

I just want you to say it.

[exequy]

Well, in that case—

[ —silence, because he is everything if not obliging. ]

[altusimperius]

Playing hard to get?

[exequy]

[ He has NEVER in his LIFE ]

[altusimperius]

Have I upset you, Enchanter Kostos?

[exequy]

[ he's so stubborn ]

[exequy]

[ but he loves to fight so much ]

[exequy]

[ what will win out???? ]

[exequy]

Do you think it helps us at all when the only fucking example of what we might do if the leash were loosened is you? [ That's a plural you, but the singular works fine too. ] Nine hundred years and not a Maker-damned glimmer of hope that mages can be trusted not to push everyone else beneath them if given the chance. The only thing you're even arguably—even arguably good for—

[ He was going somewhere with that, but he goes somewhere else instead. ]

And bringing your smug [ Singular you now, but the plural works fine too. ] bullshit here to make sure everyone has a daily reminder—

[altusimperius]

[Oh, this business again. People get so wound up, and over what? They wouldn't know true freedom if it bit them.]

Come have dinner with me.

[exequy]

Fuck off.

[altusimperius]

The Saffron Garden, at eight tomorrow evening. Join me or don't, but wear something decent if you do.

[exequy]

[ He is definitely not going to show up. ]

[altusimperius]

[waggles eyebrows]

[exequy]

[ Nope. ]
