[Has still-wrapped wrist from the other day but is generally in a less tetchy mood and carrying less useless laptop.]

... What is this about?

[ascendthethorns]

[... giving that wrist a look but moving on...]

In short, the women behind the fair.

[thekingsgambit]

Ah, someone else encountered them recently?

[ascendthethorns]

Mm, he did.

[thekingsgambit]

Did they have anything to do with the recent incident as we suspected? The announcement said the creature involved is still at large, despite the return of the Network.

[ascendthethorns]

Undetermined. Our conversation took another direction.

[thekingsgambit]

Ah?

[ascendthethorns]

He has struck a bargain with them. If he can correctly answer "when is a fair not a fair" then he will be rewared with information. If he cannot, he will be penalized.

[thekingsgambit]

Tch, as to be expected with those associated with games of chance. But he has always struck me as the type to understand the risks going into such things.

What has he received thus far?

[ascendthethorns]

Thus far?

[thekingsgambit]

If he has to solve their riddle to advance, you will not be the only person he has questioned. He will most likely compare answers among a group to see if he can arrive at a consensus or at least until he forms one of his own.

[ascendthethorns]

I haven't asked, and I don't intend to. There's nothing I can do with that information.

[thekingsgambit]

The fair is obviously a cover for something else. Did he have any additional information on these women?

[ascendthethorns]

They have confessed to the alternative realities and the gifts, and they claim to be here for our protection. He also believes that they want us to engage them.

[thekingsgambit]

Protection? So they have no connection to Sayre? Or are they here at her request to guard against another one of her deranged adversaries?

Ah, they want to make more deals.

[ascendthethorns]

Unknown. If you're expecting conclusive information then you will be disappointed.
