022 - The Slings & Arrows of Outrageous Fortune

[dwn_infinite]

The wilderness looks like it's some sort of gallery this time around, though I can only understand bits and pieces of what's written everywhere. But it's very well-decorated and very well-maintained; I would guess it's some sort of memorial, if the statues are any indication, though they spared no expense in putting the place together

Thank you. My hands have been tied with organizing a meeting after last month's anomalies. How are you holding up?

[dwn_infinite]

Still in one piece. I'm just glad to be doing field work again; I spent most of my time last month writing reports.

That I know too well, and if something like this happens again, I want it to be less of a mess for the Division. I'm holding a mandatory meeting next week to address a smoother process...

...Also, there's something I've been meaning to try with you.

[Pause.]

It's risky, though.

The characters read wu hou ci; Temple of the Martial Marquis.

[Not even pinged at this point: He's not the Martial Marquis yet, and will not be for many years.]

[dwn_infinite]

Martial Marquis? Like a man of rank?

[getsome_sleep]

A military official, certainly. Perhaps even the high commander of an army.

So you think this might be dedicated to a general and his soldiers? That would explain the statues.
