[Mildmay has been studying the journal he found for just long enough to be confident he knows how it works. He speaks once, carefully; he only wants to do this once, because if his hunch is wrong, it's gonna sting.]

Any of y'all ever heard of no Stephen Teverius?

[Done. He sits back in a comfortable chair found in one of Paradisa's many antechambers. Anyone watching him would think he had all the time in the world.]

[majestic_leader]

I've known a few Stephens, but none of them Teverius. He a friend of yours?

Dictated

[kethedammit]

[Well, that's a hilarious suggestion.] Uh. Not as such.

How's about a John Cordelius? You ever heard of him?

Dictated

[majestic_leader]

Nope. Can't say I have.

I'm going to take it you're new around here?

Dictated.

[kethedammit]

You get a lot of folk passing through?

Re: Dictated.

[majestic_leader]

Yeah, it's not too uncommon. Some come, some go, some stay a while. Thing is we never really know when or who or how long.

So ... welcome! My name's Spartan Paul DeMarco, I've been here since January.

Dictated.

[kethedammit]

Sounds about right.

Gilroi Felter. Why'd you stay?

Dictated.

[majestic_leader]

[Wow that's a weird name. Well, to DeMarco, at least.]

Not like I have a choice in the matter; this place doesn't really give you the option of going back whenever you'd like. Kind of like you didn't really have a choice when you got here.

[kethedammit]

[You don't know the half of it, buddy.]

Shit. It's fucking cursed?

[wishmadeinfire]

Steven Teverius? No, I don't recall ever hearing that name here. Is he someone of import to you?

[peacockherald]

_{{That grammar. But no, he was used to it, spending a large portion of his time with farmers and lower class folk on his Circuits. He actually tended to prefer them to nobels most days.]}

I cannot say I have heard of him, but then, people can come and go so quickly here...

dictated;

[kethedammit]

Only so far's he's the law. Last you heard, who's in charge 'round here, huh?

dictated;

[kethedammit]

Yeah, I done heard. Ain't no way to get out?

dictated forever

[majestic_leader]

It'd be nice if it were. It may possibly be sentient.

Mind using words for stupid folk?

Re: dictated;

[peacockherald]

Of the Castle itself? You may come and go as you please - come people even live outside it's grounds. As for the World itself - no, none we have found so far.

dictated;

[kethedammit]

...we talking whole worlds now?

/punches internet, stop being stupid and eating my tags B|

[wishmadeinfire]

As far as the actual law goes? Frankly, we do do not have a set group or person in charge of such things. Though, generally, if someone is assaulted, we take care of our own.

oh nooooo.

[kethedammit]

[They got a word for that, and it ain't nothing too flattering.] And how's that working out for you?

oh yes B|

[wishmadeinfire]

Well enough. We have had few incidents I can recall that have caused serious alarm over the years, and other than minor mischief.

Certainly I have never suffered anything.

_{[But then, someone would have to be stupid to try and steal or harm Ashura or his. A seasoned warrior and could control fire? You didn't want to mess with him.]}

Re: dictated;

[peacockherald]

Yes. I find it hard to believe, still, but it does make some sense considering the myriad of people's living here, the different levels of technology and histories. A single world could not possible hold them all.

[majestic_leader]

Oh, ah ... means it can think on its own.

this is going to be long, 1/idek?

[lord_wizard]

[Felix is upstairs when it hits suddenly, like a peg suddenly snapping into place into a hole that had long been vacant. He'd gone for years without having that presence at the other end that, so that when it reappears the shock makes him drop the stack of books he'd been carrying, his journal among them with a audible gasp]

2/?

[lord_wizard]

[Oh no.

No no no no no no no]

3/?

[lord_wizard]

[He rocked back on his heels and ran a shaking hand through his hair.

Why did it have to be now? After all this time?

But part of him had seen this coming of course, especially after Thamuris had arrived some months ago. Like it had been preparing him for this somehow. He's mentally been braced for it for some time now. But it doesn't help.]
