fifty-sixth labyrinth

[lord_wizard]

[It was immediately obvious this morning that all was back to normal when he'd lacked the overwhelming urge to crow at daybreak, even if he did wake up both naked and wearing a necklace made of ribbon.

The biggest annoyance of the whole mess had been his inability to properly keep abreast of what was happening with the expedition and the castle via the journal. Chicken feet were not the best at turning pages. So, the second thing he did, after making himself feel properly human again with a bath and the comforting feeling of clothing on his skin, was to get out his journal and began to make up for lost time.]

Well, that was fun. I can't believe it's been over a year since I had to deal with a loss. I've never felt particularly lucky, so maybe it actually does have some sort of association with the amount of wishing you do.

[Rooster filter]

If you didn't realize it, the rooster you spoke or interacted with was me. I'd like to properly thank those of you who even attempted to be helpful during my loss.

And for those of you that weren't...it might be good to remember that any animals you might encounter here are not always normal animals. Sometimes, they are wizards in disguise, who object very highly be being hung upside down by their ankles.

That is all.

[Outpost wards filter]

Things have gotten a little off course, it would seem. Inevitable really, what with the castle's love of interruptions.

It's time we finished things. I think the weekend after the expedition returns should suffice, unless you have objections.


[Chimera filter]

How many of you do I have left?

[Which reminds, him...]

[Recruitment filter]

For those of you who don't yet know me, my name is Felix Harrowgate. I am a wizard. I have been living in Paradisa for nearly two years, and for a majority of that time, I've devoted myself to learning all I can about magic. To that end I started Chimera - an official name for what is essentially a loose organization magic users. We have three general goals - study and catalog the magic of the residents, learn what we can of the magic of the castle and this world, and lastly, provide our talents to help defend the residents in times of crisis. I can guarantee you such times will happen, if you haven't been here long enough to know.

If one or any of those things interest you, I'd be grateful if you joined us. If it doesn't, I at least ask that you speak to me and let me learn a little of your magic.

Should you have reservations or questions, I am here to answer anything you may want to know. And if that doesn't suffice, I can provide character references.

Very nearly one less. I assume you missed the... excitement yesterday?

[Chimera forever]

[lord_wizard]

Considering I was still sleeping with my head tucked under a wing, yes.

[ Chimera Filter ]

[radiantwingedone]

Am.

Although seem to have been a cat for a while.

[ Chimera Filter ]

[lord_wizard]

Ah. I had wondered. How long?

[Rooster Filter]

[strangewonders]

Good to see you're back to yourself again. As spectacular as they were, I don't think feathers really suit you.

[Rooster Filter]

[lord_wizard]

You don't think so? I'll cancel the order on that feathered cloak I was commissioning, then.

[... Well now Hook feels like an idiot. His pride doesn't like it, but, dash-it-all, his good form demands he apologize.]

Ah... erm... Yes, well...

I would like to apologize for my rude behavior earlier.

[There. He said it, and he'd say it again if he had to.]

[lord_wizard]

Thank you.

I feel I have to ask - do your enemies frequently masquerade as chickens?

[squartatore]

[why can she see this message >:T

written:] "No" is not an acceptable answer to you, then?

[lord_wizard]

Well, you can say no, but I will ask why you feel that way.

Chimera/ally filter- I ASSUME SHE COUNTS?

[inafadingcrown]

I believe you know I remain your ally.

OF COURSE :3

[lord_wizard]

I doubt less your state as my ally than your general presence within the castle. Far too many people have gone missing while I was engaged elsewhere.

[Cock filter]

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Yeah she's just gonna LAUGH]

[ Cock filter]

[lord_wizard]

I'm glad I could be your weekly source of amusement, my dear.

Chimera

[kungfuwitch]

I'm still here, Felix. And my sister, Paige, is back in the castle.

Chimera

[lord_wizard]

What? When did she arrive?

[Helpful]

[the_effect_she_has]

Hello there, Rooster. Glad to see you're not someone's dinner.

[Helpful]

[lord_wizard]

Well, that makes two of us, certainly. You're the girl who offered help to me over the journal, yes?

Felix Harrowgate

[persequor]

Your filter is not working.

this girl

[lord_wizard]

You'll have to be more specific. I'm conducting a lot of business at the moment.

[wishmadeinfire]

<sub>[He, for one, is very happy to have a human Felix back. As sweet as it is listening to a Rooster chirp or whatever it was Rooster's did in their sleep, he missed the warmth of his fiance. But, he had to say, he liked the ribbon about his neck. It complimented him, he thought.

He came up behind him as he was giving out the Rooster filter, kissing his hair and offering him some tea for the morning.]</sub>

Don't bring down to much judgement, Felix.

[lord_wizard]

[He takes a cup with a thin smile]

Some messages need delivering.

Felix - I can't remember if Dair is an official Chimera member or not, but definitely an ally

[wizard_redfive]

I'm here. Well... technically I'm in the Dead Zone, so if you need my assistance it'll have to wait. But otherwise I'm still here.

You got stuck with a loss?

Dairine (I can't remember either, but yes, works either way)

[lord_wizard]

I assume you're on the expedition then?

And yes, I was on the loss. [Not going to elaborate outright, though]

[doublethefun]

'Chimera.' Doth there be significance to that name? [a creature composed of a mish-mash of different animals is much too similar to an old enemy]

recruitment filter

[lord_wizard]

It's mostly a symbolic gesture, for the our threefold goals - a head for each aim, if you will.

outpost wards filter

[psych0p0mps]

oh! yes
that sounds like a very good idea
we have lost a couple of key players in the security system including the fellow who was building the robots
so its especially important that we get these wards done now :0

I'm sorry it hasn't happened faster as it is.
