30 | In Which the Wizard Cleans Up [Dicated/Action]

[strangewonders]

Well, that was certainly... interesting.

[Not to mention terrible, and a little horrifying. But he's just going to go with understatement today]

I would avoid Satis tower for awhile, I think. It's going to take a bit to get this all cleaned up.

[But if someone does decided to venture up to Chimera HQ, they're going to find one very dapper wizard on his hands and knees with a bucket of soapy water, trying to scrub up all the chalk]

Take you time. [He sounds less than enthused about life at the moment]

Felix

[strangewonders]

It's going to take time, I assure you. I don't exactly want to chance using magic on this to clean it up.

[Because goodness only knows what might happen. He's clearly not sounding too enthused about the world right now, himself.]

Howl

[lord_wizard]

[It's not like he ordered you to do anything, Howl. He's busy cleaning himself up for the moment.]

Whatever you think is best. If it's not sorted by tomorrow, let me know...

Felix

[strangewonders]

[He's doing it of his own volition because he knows it needs to be done, he just isn't happy about it.]

I think scrubbing it all up should do the trick. If not, we'll have to try something else.

Howl

[lord_wizard]

Perhaps I should look into hiring some help again.

Felix

[strangewonders]

Perhaps so, though I wouldn't trust them with this.

[Mostly because he's worried they might have inadvertently concocted some unpleasant magic with all of this, and he's not so lazy that he'd risk others cleaning it up]

Howl

[lord_wizard]

I suppose you are right. [He seriously misses having servants, though.]

I wish I knew exactly what we were trying to achieve, though I'm glad it seemed to have failed.

Felix

[strangewonders]

I'm honestly not sure I want to know, to be honest. Nothing good, from the looks of things.

[toobravehearted]

[Someone might sound a little clipped today. After that nonsense with the spirals, who could blame him?]

What happened in the tower specifically? Would you like a hand?

[strangewonders]

A bit of a mess, is all.

[Specifics are something he's trying to avoid getting into, really]

I'll be able to manage it.

[toobravehearted]

[He can take a hint and doesn't expect many to want to advertise what castle induced games came around this time, but he has to ask.]

All right. Were you hurt? The offer still stands.

[strangewonders]

Only if you count wounded pride, really.

[toobravehearted]

There's possibly a bit of that going around.

[There's a pause, almost as if he's making a wince, because he is.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to make a... circular pun.

[strangewonders]

[Howl may have winced a bit himself, but he isn't going to take offense]

I don't doubt it. At least the damage seems minimal.

[toobravehearted]

That depends on what damage we're talking about, I suppose. [To the castle, probably little, to the residents, well, many were scared out of their wits.]

[strangewonders]

Physical, mostly. [He didn't tend to concern himself with the mental state of other residents, unless it was really necessary.]

[toobravehearted]

Well, let's hope we don't have a repeat anytime soon.

[strangewonders]

Heaven forbid.

[Really. Because he did not have the patience for a repeat of this mess]
