Fifty First Sip

Well, I did try to warn some of you that magic always comes at a price. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Maybe after this incident you'll be less inclined to just wish everything you want into existence because it's the easiest way. Be glad you don't live on my world, you'd all be up a creek without a paddle surrounded by ravenous crocodiles and perhaps a few rabid sharks by now.

So, how long precisely are you planning on hiding out there? Because my ability to care enough to cover for you is beginning to wear thin if you continue to be stupid and stay out in the middle of nowhere without any word if you're okay or not.

[Helen Magnus]
[Gods, this is awkward, but with Nikola brooding and James hiding, it was ultimately up to her to keep an eye on the poor woman] So. How're you settling in?

You've had no problems outside the castle then?

[She does feel special. And also annoyed. Mostly annoyed] You can't keep up being dead forever. Eventually something will happen and you'll be brought back here, and then you'll have to explain yourself.

I'm in the Dead Zone, so I doubt it would reach as far as here if it was going to effect those outside of it.

[He probably shouldn't have mentioned that...

And stop with the annoyance thing Mal.]

And as usual if it occurs, I will find a way to do so. This is hardly the first time I've done this. And I have a feeling that those that would care to know of my whereabouts already know. [He's not amused by that nope.]

So that's where you are. [HAH HAH GOT YOU]

So, what? You're planning to do this for the rest of your time here? Answer carefully, and be aware that I have no qualms about finding you and dragging you back here.

[The Dead Zone's a big place Mal, have fun with that!]

No, just going to enjoy what time I have out here for a short while before returning. I'll be back before the end of the month, as I could hardly deny the castle the joys of torturing me for the anniversary of my stay here could I?

[She's got all the time in the world]

...Yeah, well. You'd better be sure you do return. Helen is getting worried.

Maladict

[unnaturalpause]

I'll be certain to. [And yes that is a small amount of guilt in his voice.] How are you fairing? [With you know Helen and things.]

Oh, me. I've been fine.

It's super fun lying and dealing with worried and brooding people all the time. You should see how much fun I'm having.

Woo. Hoo.
