So. [Hi, Riftwatch. How does one do one of these? Is it possible to do it well?] Think it's pretty safe to assume Jude's not on some long-term secret mission, unless a division head wants to speak up.

[There's a moment of silence, though if it's simply out of respect or for trying to figure out what to even say, that's up in the air.]

There's some recipes. So we won't be screwing up his pancakes anymore, among a few other things.

I pity whoever gets that room after, though; the wolf hair's gonna be lingering on everything.

Comments

me like let's pretend this conversation happened for .5 seconds before everything spiraled

[heirring]

Yes, does! There is every reason to believe that Mister Adjei is indeed still baking his recipes, perhaps for all his friends in his home. It's also entirely possible there are Mister Adjeis elsewhere. We've only just sort of misplaced the one who was in Thedas. Perhaps temporarily, even. Take Miss Niehaus, for example.

So obviously it is very much a shame for you and I, but surely Mister Adjei is perfectly well.

[heirring]

I am not carrying on. I am defending my work from unjustified criticism.

[grindset]

Ehh, not to be pedantic, but he raised that fear himself. She only said 'lose'.

[favoriteanalyst]

I'm not getting sucked into an argument about how justified any criticism is with you, but if you guys want a public airing of grievances, maybe do it somewhere else. Take it outside, so to speak.

[heirring]

I said she suggested it, I didn't say she said it.

[Pedantry off.]

[grindset]

While implying it was her idea.

[heirring]

Ah yes. In the context of this very specific conversation, Miss Anderson clearly believed Mister Artemaeus might simply misplace his arm entirely by accident through no fault or action of our study.

[altusimperius]

Does she know you took your own?

--and that it didn't just. Fall off, I mean.

[laruetheday]

So Abby's supposed to literally lay down her life for Riftwatch, but if she doesn't like something she can just shut up about it. That's how it is, huh?

[heorte]

They're allowed to have misgivings, and speak of them.

[heorte]

There's more than one way we support our friends.

[ tfw this is already more involved than you meant to get. ]

Don't wind them up. The disagreement can be settled more quietly than this.

[heirring]

We can only hope that in the future Miss Anderson will choose her words and the moment in which she says them more carefully.

[heirring]

If she doesn't know what she's talking about, then yes. Maybe she should.

[heirring]

But I'm not allowed to address those misgivings.

[grindset]

[altusimperius]

[notathreat]

You know that's bullshit, Wysteria.

[heirring]

Is it? I certainly don't tell anyone here how best to do their work, but by all means. I can begin.

[That's a threat.]

[heorte]

Are you addressing them?

[laruetheday]

Go ahead. At this point it's not like it can make you look worse.

[heirring]

The circumstances of that amputation are well documented.

[heirring]

I'm providing context. She can think whatever she likes, but I'm not about to sit and let her say some ridiculous thing where someone else might hear and consider it legitimate.

[heirring]

Very well, Miss La Rue. I look forward to your next report.

[altusimperius]

Right. Of course.

[armd]

What part of what I said was ridiculous? It's all true.
