[This is backdated to earlier in the day, neat! Jenny's somewhat casually dictating into the journal, idly doodling spiral shapes in the margin as it transcribes her words.]

So, for anyone wondering who we've got to blame for the nap you lot took earlier in the week, I've got a clue for you. A clue which happens to be holed up in the basement of the town's inn, if anyone would like some answers.

I couldn't really get any, despite me best efforts, but you're welcome to try yourselves if you'd like.

[Vanessa VanCleef]
[She's not exactly sure if she's going to get a response, but it's worth a shot.]

I can't tell if your servant's very stupid or very loyal.

[Others who were awake during the sleeping spell.]
Have any of you come up with answers?

[msattentionspan]

You took one too?

[20thcentury]

['Too'?] I have. Looks like we had the same idea.

Jenny, by the way.

jenny.

[msattentionspan]

Faith -- and yeah. The thing wasn't giving me much of anything and it thought I wasn't a threat.

Said something about its Mistress saving it. Figured, might be time to get her to actually show up.

[ Now that it's been a day and she realizes it's only been a little over a week here (insane), Lana plans on catching up. And someone's actually talking about something relevant, so... ]

Maybe I can help a little more in convincing this clue to share with us.

yes good

[20thcentury]

You're welcome to try. He's very stupid, so it's a bit difficult to get a straight answer.

[luthored]

[ Super! Filter over because she'll be heading over there now! At regular person speed, though, just because she'd like to get it all in order in her head first. ]

How far did you go with him?

Filter

[20thcentury]

Torture was always The Midnighter's area of expertise. I'm only good at shouting. [And electrocution, but that's not really a very good technique, she's found.]

[assassino]

Give me a shot at it.

[cheerupemoborg]

Care to elaborate on this 'clue'?

filter

[20thcentury]

It's a three foot tall, talking rat.

filter

[cheerupemoborg]

Oh, is that all? I was expecting something outlandish.

What have you gotten out of him so far?

filter

[succubitch]

It seemed interested in taking things.

filter

[20thcentury]

Alcohol for its mistress, most likely. Not entirely sure about the other things; maybe it's just got magpie tendencies.

filter

[succubitch]

It's possible. It didn't seem very willing to share, either way.

[workaphilic]

[He's reading over the other conversations. This could be mildly interesting.]

Just the one?

[It'd take a gaggle of talking rats to remove all the alcohol from this place.]

[filter]

[20thcentury]

He implied there were others. I've only got the one, though.

[ Filter ]

[workaphilic]

Pity. Might have been interesting to see them interact.

[cyan_maid]

...What kind of clue?

Filter

[20thcentury]

A living clue.

[heloise]

A clue of ivory or horn?

[20thcentury]

Neither, sunbeam.

[heloise]

They say dreams that are true passed through ivory, but I wish for gates of horn instead.

[psych0p0mps]

wasnt it the castle

[20thcentury]

Apparently not.
