You say, "Okay, I think we can probably get started! Thank you all for joining me here this evening." Tirost takes a sip of his reserve. Tirost turns an gold-rimmed glass of Advisor's reserve in the light, looking at it admiringly. Erolith nods to you. Qihhth's eyes widen and she fixes you with a cautious, reptilian stare. Her body seems tense and ready to react as she focuses on you. Ophiliah leans against a curving smokewood bar with silversteel hardware. Raising his Advisor's reserve to you, Tirost gives you a toast. Cheers! Imroth says, "Miskton's bar is so cool." Jaelia takes a sip of her Expanse. Ophiliah says, "Cooler when i lean on it too." Jaelia says, "It is a fantastic bar." Imroth chuckles. Ophiliah winks at Imroth. Illiya says, "Oh I think this is my first time seeing it too." Tirost asks Imroth, "But does it serve justice?" Roughneck Rileos just arrived. Valynn blinks at Rileos. Tirost smiles at Rileos. Jaelia beams at Rileos! Rileos raises two fingers to his brow in a quick hand salute. You say, "I've got a few different visions to discuss this evening, of the usual varying degrees of clarity." You grin. Jaelia applauds. Valynn grins at Rileos. Tirost says to Rileos, "Been a while. Glad you're here." Valynn takes a sip of her Expanse. Ophiliah takes a sip of her brandy. Erolith waves to Rileos. Rileos says to Tirost, "Now that I'm looking at you, could be longer." Anuril snorts, loudly. Rileos looks at Tirost, obviously trying not to grin. Tirost squints at Rileos. You say, "I'll start with one that at least seems to point toward something pretty clearly, although of course there could be additional depths to it that are not quite so obvious." You say, "I found myself on a small vessel, a cold ocean wind filling the sails and driving me forward across open water. No land was visible in any direction, though sea birds wheeled overhead." Lasciel hugs Ophiliah, who wraps her arms around Lasciel with a warm smile. Ophiliah smiles at Lasciel. You say, "A low vibration groaned through the wood beneath my feet, sending ripples across the sea's surface. Leaning over the gunwale, I peered into the water. A row of massive, dual-slit eyes gazed back up from the dark blue." Ophiliah hugs Lasciel, who wraps her arms around Ophiliah with a warm smile. Haxen just arrived. Jaelia hugs Ophiliah, who wraps her arms around Jaelia with a warm smile. Haxen doffs his top hat. Kiashandra grins at Haxen. You say, "The leviathan slowly rolled away, its scaled flank and massive flippers sinking back into the ocean's depths." Haxen winks at Kiashandra. You say, "The vision faded." Erolith gazes at you and rubs his chin in intense contemplation. Ophiliah says, "I love a good boat vision." Ophiliah chortles softly at some secret joke. Qihhth's tail gives a quick lash at the air, and then she grows intensely still. Gwenddolyn says, "Something is definitely in the wate." Erolith grins at Rileos. Tirost nods. Gwenddolyn says, "Water too." Jaelia hugs Haxen, getting a smile in return. Haxen hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Haxen with a warm smile. Kethrai asks, "Andreshlew, in this case?" Haxen beams! Anuril nods to Kethrai. Valynn grins at Kethrai. Tirost takes a sip of his reserve. You say, "It is coming around to the time we'd expect to see the Merelew and Andreshlew once again, and likely leviathan sightings along with them." Umptiskrunk takes a sip of his cocktail. Gwenddolyn nods. Haxen doffs his top hat at Ellywen. Illiya hugs Ellywen, getting a smile in return. Xadon grins at Ellywen. Jaelia hugs Ellywen, who wraps her arms around Jaelia with a warm smile. Umptiskrunk loudly says, "Is make sense to Ump." Umptiskrunk nods. Ellywen smiles. Jaelia just hugged Ansara. Kiashandra waves to Ellywen. Jaelia just hugged Xadon. Imroth asks, "'What is the name of that one leviathan?" Ellywen waves. Valynn nods at Umptiskrunk, obviously agreeing with his views. Ellywen hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return. Ellywen hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Ellywen with a warm smile. Ellywen kisses Dilemma. And she doesn't seem to want to stop. Dilemma kisses Ellywen. And she doesn't seem to want to stop. Valynn takes a sip of her Expanse. Dilemma enfolds Ellywen in a warm embrace. Xadon hugs Dilemma, who wraps her arms around Xadon with a warm smile. Jaelia laughs! Dilemma wraps her arm around Xadon's shoulder in a friendly hug. Jaelia joins Ellywen's group. Dilemma takes her rightful place beside Ellywen. You say, "It's on the tip of my tongue, but I'm afraid I don't quite remember the name at the moment." Ellywen snuggles up to Dilemma and cradles her in her arms. Imroth asks, "Zemu.. something?" You nod to Imroth. Imroth flails his arms about. Tirost grins. Illiya ponders. Imroth says, "Oh I can't believe I can't remember." Erolith takes a sip of his Expanse. Rileos scratches distractedly at his beard. Imroth exclaims, "Zemmunhu!" Dilemma hugs Ansara, who wraps her arms around Dilemma with a warm smile. You say, "There could be something else going on with the vision, of course. But the leviathan doesn't seem angry, distressed, or otherwise doing anything but observing and swimming along." Valynn praises Imroth. You say to Imroth, "And thank you for that." Illiya grins at Imroth, her dimples flashing into view. You say to Imroth, "Feels rude to walk around on his back without remembering his name." Valynn grins at you. Umptiskrunk chuckles. Imroth laughs at you! Illiya says, "To be fair, it's not the easiest name to remember." Tirost smiles at Kethrai. Imroth takes a sip of his brandy. Xadon says, "How can one forget Bob." Xadon peers quizzically at Illiya. Illiya grins at Xadon, her dimples flashing into view. Gwenddolyn chuckles. Xadon grins. Kethrai says to Illiya, "I'm sure to a leviathan it's a very common name and ours are outlandish." Illiya nods to Kethrai. Qihhth takes a bite of the apple. Qihhth examines a Scaley Blue apple. Imroth nods. You say, "So hopefully the vision is just a sign of good times to come. I know I'm looking forward to visiting Andreshlew again." Yraggahh shakes his head at Qihhth. Kethrai nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Imroth nods in agreement. Tirost nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Erolith nods to Tirost. Valynn quietly says to Illiya, "Like trying to say Zengmodaleth." Illiya leans on Imroth. Tirost smiles at Erolith. Qihhth glances at Yraggahh. Illiya rubs Imroth gently, massaging his muscles. Tirost glances at Valynn. Valynn clears her throat. Erolith nods to Kiashandra. Tirost narrows his eyes. Gwenddolyn says, "Zemmunhu." Dilemma waggles her fingers mystically at Ellywen. How nice. Kiashandra smiles at Erolith. You say, "The next vision also seems to at least be related to something we can recognize, although the actual meaning is not quite so clear." You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Gwenddolyn says, "Had to think about it for a while." Tirost whispers something to Valynn. Valynn whispers something to Tirost. Tirost laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement. Yraggahh leans on his nodachi. Tirost smiles at Valynn. You say, "I stood at a busy thoroughfare, watching caravans pass and children weaving chaotically through the crowd. Guards idly observed the street, feigning boredom. Several crystalline kiosks sat at convenient corners, drawing a steady flow of customers trading valuables for coin." You say, "One kiosk shivered, a quick pulse of black and white flickering across its surface. The nearest kiosk immediately pulsed its own sequence in response." Erolith ponders. You say, "No one nearby seemed to notice. After a moment, the vision faded." Qihhth cocks her head. Qihhth's tail cautiously lifts into a kind of "U" shape. Gwenddolyn says, "Trader benefits." Gwenddolyn mutters to herself. Tirost smiles. You say, "The kiosks certainly seem like the ones created by the newly developed Prosperity in Absentia spell for Traders." Valynn ponders. Xadon smiles and whispers something to everyone BUT Valynn and Tirost. Kethrai asks, "Uh... are the kiosks talking...?" Gwenddolyn says, "Maybe at the upcoming fest they will." Erolith nods to you. You say, "But yes, they do seem to be engaging in some sort of communication." Illiya asks Kethrai, "Do you think they are sentient?" Lasciel says, "Price gouging." Valynn quietly says to Kethrai, "That would be a bit scary." Lasciel nods to you. Gwenddolyn chuckles. Erolith says in an Ilithic accent, "Seems to align, that makes sense." Tirost grins. Rileos nods at Lasciel, obviously agreeing with her views. Anuril dryly says, "I'm sure they're only interested in restoring the balance... of their checkbooks." Illiya grins at Anuril, her dimples flashing into view. You say to Lasciel, "I definitely would not rule that out." You grin. Qihhth glances at something inside a fine silk haversack. Qihhth's tail cautiously lifts into a kind of "U" shape. Lasciel says, "Firs they steal your lunar magic, then they steal your coins." Qihhth stands near Yraggahh. Lasciel snickers at Kiashandra. Yraggahh's tail undulates in an agitated fashion. Lasciel waves her hand distractedly. Tirost says, "I'm liking the coins they've provided so far." Lasciel nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views. Erolith takes a sip of his Expanse. You say, "Some new development with the spell does seem the most likely thing to me. Though hopefully it IS an intentional development, and not a sign that the kiosks themselves are aware and up to something." Umptiskrunk takes a sip of his cocktail. Jaelia takes a sip of her Expanse. Tirost takes a sip of his reserve. Kethrai says, "Surely star-magic beings could never have ulterior motives." Illiya grins at Kethrai, her dimples flashing into view. Imroth says, "Maybe you can corrupt the kiosks." Erolith chuckles at Kethrai. Gwenddolyn chuckles at Imroth. Ophiliah takes a sip of her brandy. Imroth takes a sip of his brandy. Valynn says, "Perhaps it's merely a notification that they need to be refinanced." You say, "After that one, the visions seem to get a bit more abstract." Valynn asks, "They do run out of coin, no?" You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Imroth nods. Illiya says, "I am ready to fight sentient kiosks should the need arise." Tirost laughs! Tirost smiles at Illiya. You say, "I sat at a workbench, crocheting a heavy piece that draped across my knees and pooled onto the floor. The yarn pulled from a massive skein blended in blue and red, flecked with shimmering black threads. As I worked, the fabric grew, though its intended form remained unclear." Rileos chuckles. You say, "After several complex stitches, the piece fluttered and fluidly rose as a multi-limbed devourer. It snapped at the air with fuzzy teeth. I recoiled in panic, accidentally yanking the trailing working thread." You say, "The creation instantly unfurled, collapsing into a heap of tangled yarn." You say, "The vision faded." Illiya grins at Valynn, her dimples flashing into view. Tirost gazes thoughtfully at you. Gwenddolyn asks, "Animated yarn?" Mistanna blinks. Ansara asks, "More snippets?" Gwenddolyn shudders. Ophiliah says, "Soundsa like those teardrinkers on island .. but yarn." Imroth exclaims, "Yarn devourer!" Imroth says, "That sounds cute." Erolith rubs his chin in thoughtful contemplation. Qihhth leans back. You say, "My guess would be some development in moon mage magic that goes awry in some way. Actual animated yarn monsters are not out of the question, though, I suppose." Anuril smirks. Jaelia bows her head and chants catechisms. Dilemma snuggles up to Ellywen and cradles her in her arms. Gwenddolyn says, "Kind of like bad moongates." Kiashandra says, "The downfall of crafting lore." Ellywen rubs Dilemma's back. Illiya says, "What if it's a new Zasele task to make adorable devourer dolls." Mistanna asks, "Does the representation of two different crafts mean something? Outfitting and enchanting?" Umptiskrunk fixes Mistanna with a heavy, ponderous stare. Umptiskrunk takes a sip of his cocktail. Rileos says, "Well, seems to me we all just need to stop knitting and this one'll blow over." Jaelia says, "Yes, it means soon we will all have enchanting outfits.l." Gwenddolyn says, "So instead of limb stealing dolls chasing is it will be yarn devourers." Anuril nods at Rileos, obviously agreeing with his views. Mistanna chuckles at Rileos. Shaylynne hugs Kiashandra, who wraps her arms around Shaylynne with a warm smile. Kiashandra beams at Shaylynne! Kiashandra hugs Shaylynne, who wraps her arms around Kiashandra with a warm smile. Trajan hugs Kiashandra, getting a smile in return. Kiashandra just hugged Trajan. Yraggahh whispers something to Qihhth. Shaylynne smiles. Tirost thoughtfully says, "Those are three of my favorite colors woven out of yarn, and an entity made through enchanting... but here it seems to cause panic, but luckily, it was undone..." Jaelia hugs Shaylynne, getting a smile in return. Jaelia just hugged Trajan. Trajan hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Trajan with a warm smile. Shaylynne hugs Jaelia, who wraps her arms around Shaylynne with a warm smile. Qihhth whispers something to Yraggahh. Trajan waves to Dilemma. Kiashandra leans on Shaylynne. Trajan waves to Ellywen. Ellywen waves to Trajan. Dilemma smiles at Trajan. Tirost smiles at Shaylynne. Ellywen smiles at Trajan. Trajan nods politely to Tirost. Tirost asks Shaylynne, "Fashionably late?" Shaylynne grins at Lasciel. Tirost bows to Trajan. Trajan bows to Tirost. Lasciel whistles at Shaylynne. Valynn grins at Trajan. You say, "It could also be a more general form of mishap, with the crochet representing the risks of messing around with something dangerous and complex without a clear plan in mind." Shaylynne says to Tirost, "Sort of...I'." Gwenddolyn says, "Nobody put skins of yarn in your vaults like we did the dolls." Trajan just hugged Valynn. Shaylynne says, "Am still dressed for the fire ball." Valynn just hugged Trajan. Shaylynne laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement. Valynn hugs Shaylynne, getting a smile in return. Trajan nods politely to Anuril. Trajan waves to Kethrai. Shaylynne just hugged Valynn. Tirost nods to you. Anuril nods to Trajan. Mistanna asks Gwenddolyn, "What about deeds?" Shaylynne grins at Ellywen. Gwenddolyn says, "Deed book." Shaylynne holds her hand out towards Ellywen for a highfive. Gwenddolyn nods to you. Ellywen and Shaylynne highfive each other and follow it up with simultaneous finger snaps. Sassy! Gwenddolyn nods to Mistanna. Mistanna nods to Gwenddolyn. Umptiskrunk takes a sip of his cocktail. Imroth takes a sip of his brandy. Valynn takes a sip of her Expanse. You say, "I imagine the crafting societies might be a bit upset at having to handle such things." You chuckle. Tirost grins at you. Imroth chuckles. Jaelia takes a sip of her Expanse. Gwenddolyn says, "That will make everyone pay attention while crafting." Gwenddolyn snickers. Valynn whispers something to Tirost. Tirost asks Illiya, "Are you also prepared to fight skeins that turn into devourers?" Tirost grins at Valynn. Tirost nods in agreement. Illiya grins at Tirost, her dimples flashing into view. Illiya says to Tirost, "Always ready to fight." Kethrai says to Tirost, "Sounds right up our alley, in fact." You ask, "Let's see... Two more visions to discuss. Let's see how people feel... Should we go with the unpleasant one first, or the pleasant one?" Gwenddolyn says, "I won't go into the outfitting societ for sure now." Tirost smiles at Kethrai. Gwenddolyn chortles softly at some secret joke. Tirost nods. Kethrai says, "Unpleasant, eh? Finish on a happy note." Mistanna takes a bite of her stew and appears slightly flushed. Anuril smirks at Rileos. You exclaim, "Works for me!" You nod to Kethrai. Tirost smiles. You say, "I strolled through a park and spotted a group of children gathered around a performer. Using multiple lanterns, layered props, and nimble hand movements, the puppeteer cast an elaborate shadow play against a backdrop." You say, "The performer held up a faceted crystal and snapped their fingers. A brilliant white light beamed through the glass, projecting bands of rainbows." Shaylynne takes a sip of her martini. You say, "Another snap. The light turned a dull purple, and the crystal's shadow twisted into a menacing face with a cruel grin. The children gasped as the shadow reared upward, engulfing the side of a nearby building. The children began to scream, and the vision faded." Dilemma squints. Illiya asks, "Uh.. was that a happy note?" You say, "Shadows, crystal, and likely some sorcery." Shaylynne leans on Kiashandra. You say, "This was the unpleasant one! Still one more to go." Kethrai asks, "Seems like more Lunar magic?" Tirost nods to Kethrai. Ansara asks, "So maybe a carnival soon?" Erolith takes a sip of his Expanse. You say, "Shadows makes me lean toward creatures from the plane of probability, and likely moon mages. Though crystals are more in the domain of traders." Tirost says to Kethrai, "Miskton downplayed that connection, I noticed." Rileos chuckles. Gwenddolyn says, "Maybe an enchanted crystal dropped by critters from there." Jaelia exclaims to Ansara, "Every day with you is a carnival!" Kiashandra grins at Shaylynne. Ellywen smiles at Ansara. Erolith grins at Mistanna. Ansara says to Jaelia, "Very true." Ansara smirks. You say, "The light turning purple seems a potential sign of the involvement of sorcery." Kiashandra giggles. Lasciel nods to you. Lasciel mumbles a word of general praise. Tirost takes a sip of his reserve. Trajan says, "Or mood candles." Imroth chuckles. Illiya grins at Trajan, her dimples flashing into view. You say, "On the whole, it seems more likely to involve moon mages, but the crystal involved does seem significant." Tirost nods to you. Erolith nods to you. Imroth asks, "Just illusions though, yeah?" Imroth scratches his head. You say, "Maybe. Shadows can become dangerous rather quickly." Kethrai says, "Hopefully. Seems like the vision ended before it was clear." Imroth says, "Sounds like a neat show at least." Shaylynne takes a sip of her martini. Tirost says, "It could be a performance meant to be frightening for entertainment because it's done by a performer, and it seems no real harm was done by the time the vision ends. It's hard to tell." Lasciel takes a sip of her wine. Tirost nods to Imroth. Jaelia takes a sip of her Expanse. Gwenddolyn says, "So avoid puppet shows." You chuckle. Dilemma says in an Ilithian accent, "Those are scary enough as it is." Ellywen grins at Dilemma. Ellywen nibbles Dilemma gently. Jaelia nods to Dilemma. Jaelia laughs! Tirost says to Gwenddolyn, "Except Penrhyn's, if she still does them. They're amazing." Gwenddolyn grins at Tirost, her dimples flashing into view. Jaelia says, "More murder dolls but this time Puppets or other enchanted sewn doll." Tirost smiles. Yraggahh glances at Qihhth. You say, "Yes, it could be a frightening illusion. Though as it's made an impact on the Web of Fate, I worry that it's more than that." Tirost asks Anuril, "I have a scroll for you, Anuril. It's called Fire Lion Reborn. Are you interested?" Erolith grins at Kiashandra. Kiashandra laughs at Erolith. Imroth chortles softly at some secret joke. Anuril raises an eyebrow in Tirost's direction. Anuril dryly asks Tirost, "Never heard of it. Where did you learn it?" Tirost waves his hand distractedly. Imroth asks, "Does it make Arhat come back?" Erolith nods at Imroth, obviously agreeing with his views. Ophiliah takes a sip of her brandy. Tirost says to Imroth, "In spirit." Imroth grins. Imroth says, "Sounds neat." Tirost hesitantly says to Anuril, "From my scroll book." Anuril fixes Tirost with a serene, lofty stare. Anuril makes a grunting noise. You say, "And the last vision to discuss tonight is... pleasant. Though maybe suspiciously so. There isn't really much that stands out as ominous, though there is one particular point that stuck in my mind." You turn a page in your astronomer's journal. Anuril observes you with fascination. Jaelia looks at you and lets out a hearty cheer on your behalf! Qihhth's tail cautiously lifts into a kind of "U" shape. You say, "I found myself in a bustling dining hall, surrounded by the chatter of guests telling stories I quickly forgot. An old dog navigated the room, stepping easily around benches and moving feet, only to pull to a halt at a rug before the fireplace." You exclaim, "The dog looked at the hearth, hesitated, and whined softly. A man called out, "Go ahead, you're fine!" You say, "The dog tentatively tapped a paw against the rug, then pulled back. With an exasperated groan, the man stood and walked over. The dog's tail wagged as the man scratched its ears, before he made a grand, dramatic flourish of permission toward the hearth." Rileos says to you, "That's a welcome change, gift horses, mouths, don't worry about it." Rileos nods. You say, "Satisfied, the dog stepped onto the rug and curled up before the fire. The man smiled, and the vision faded." Tirost gazes at Anuril. Tirost says to Anuril, "This is fate." Anuril laughs! Dilemma smiles at Ellywen. Tirost laughs! Umptiskrunk loudly says, "Always be nice to dogs. Is good pals." Imroth says, "Scared old dog." Illiya says, "Huh." You say, "It all seems nice enough. The one thing that did jump out at me, though, was that notion of 'permission'. A lack thereof has been a rather large presence in a number of visions at one point." Illiya nods to Umptiskrunk. Tirost nods to you. Gwenddolyn nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views. Imroth says, "Maybe the dog isn't allowed on that rug normally." Kiashandra nods to Erolith. Erolith takes a sip of his Expanse. Illiya asks, "Have there been previous visions about old dogs?" Lasciel begins chortling at Imroth. Anuril dryly says, "Maybe a demon wove the rug." Gwenddolyn says, "Just about kinds of permission." Trajan asks, "That's it? The dog didn't transform into a crystal monster? A woman in a large brimmed hat didn't smoke a cigarello and silently judge him?" Tirost just nudged Anuril. Imroth waves a polished muracite eyelash viper twined around a bricklebranch stick around. Tirost takes a sip of his reserve. Shaylynne grins at Trajan. Umptiskrunk loudly says to Trajan, "Smoking woman give Ump the creeps." Umptiskrunk nods. You say, "There have been visions of dogs, though I don't recall that previous ones I can think of were specifically old ones." Shaylynne nods to Umptiskrunk. Yraggahh whispers something to Qihhth. Jaelia says to Trajan, "That older woman is SO stylish though." Shaylynne says to Umptiskrunk, "Same." Trajan nods to Umptiskrunk. Qihhth nods at Yraggahh, obviously agreeing with his views. Shaylynne grins at Jaelia. Erolith grins at Jaelia. Yraggahh flicks the tip of his tail toward the ground sharply. Shaylynne whispers something to Jaelia. Qihhth's tail undulates passively just above the ground. Shaylynne smirks at Jaelia. Imroth takes a sip of his brandy. Tirost asks you, "What did you make of the permission visions in the end?" Jaelia whispers something to Shaylynne. Umptiskrunk takes a sip of his cocktail. Valynn takes a sip of her Expanse. Erolith rubs his hands together. Kiashandra grins. Shaylynne takes a sip of her martini. You say, "I'm still not sure exactly what it was that we did not have permission to do." Gwenddolyn says, "Well hopefully we never find out." Kiashandra nods to Erolith. You say, "It seemed like it might have been related to the Involuted Passage, given the timing and when those visions seemed to stop, but I'm not sure exactly how." Imroth takes a sip of his brandy. Gwenddolyn waves. Gwenddolyn says, "Night all." Gwenddolyn says, "Thanks Miskton." Trajan waves to Gwenddolyn. Imroth waves to Gwenddolyn. Erolith waves to Gwenddolyn. Tirost says to you, "I also associated with the Involuted Passage, but it has been hard for me to understand its significance, even after having seen it." Kethrai says, "I always figured it was about having permission to access the Plane of Probability." Tirost gazes thoughtfully at Kethrai. Jaelia exclaims, "Thank you!" Jaelia waves. Kiashandra laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement. Tirost pets his storm-grey cat. Umptiskrunk loudly says, "Well, Ump like dogs. So, is happy dog get to be comfortable by nice fire." Umptiskrunk nods. Tirost smiles. Imroth says, "Well you know what they say about old dogs.." Trajan nods to Umptiskrunk. Kethrai nods to Umptiskrunk. Rileos says to Umptiskrunk, "You ain't wrong." Valynn ponders. Rileos nods at Umptiskrunk, obviously agreeing with his views. Tirost quietly says to Anuril, "Fire, dogs, permission... Just saying, Anuril." You ask, "And yes, that covers the visions I had to discuss this evening! Are there any other questions, or related subjects anyone would like to bring up?" Anuril raises an eyebrow in Tirost's direction. Trajan says to Umptiskrunk, "I like dogs as much as I don't like the woman with the cigarillo." Imroth nods at Tirost, obviously agreeing with his views. Anuril asks Tirost, "I'm sorry, am I somehoe subservient to dogs now?" Anuril ponders. Imroth blinks. Kethrai leans back against Anuril with a loving smile. Anuril says, "Maybe this vision is for the rakash." Imroth says, "The metaphor is getting messy." Umptiskrunk loudly says to Trajan, "Is good compare. Ump understand." Erolith ponders. Anuril nods to Imroth. Umptiskrunk nods to Trajan. Valynn says, "And...thank you very much Miskton. Always enlightening." Kethrai nods in agreement. You exclaim, "Well then, thank you all for coming, and enjoy the rest of your evening!" Erolith nods to you. Erolith says in an Ilithic accent, "Thanks Miskton." You carefully mark your place and close your astronomer's journal, securing the clasp. Shaylynne smiles. You put your journal in your scholar's valise.
