HEIST UPDATE

[claudiometer]

Just when I thought we maybe wouldn't need it. [That part's in a muttered tone, so Claudia probably didn't mean to broadcast it.]

Wrinkle in the plan, guys, Beatrice moved the amulet. She made a really big deal about storing it under guard in the top of her tower, so my guess is it's anywhere but the tower. We don't have much time to work on this. Thoughts?

My first one, frankly, is 'tase the bejeezus out of her and loot her while she's unconscious,' but there's no guarantee that would turn up clues.

Ohhhhh. That makes sense, I guess. That must be why Mari/Yuki had the Shinjuu to tell her what to do when I was her in Bando!

This stuff is a lot easier when you're on an island in a... [catbox, she almost thinks, but manages to stop herself because Kitty is scared of boxes] storm. A big, long storm.

It's easier when you're just employed to do a part of a thing or when someone else can do the fall-out plotting, yeah. Especially when they're important and important in the long term.

...was that another jaunt, or was that back home in your place?

[happyhalloween]

It was my grandfather's island back in my world! It was only my family there and the servants and the Furniture and Dr. Nanjo.

Furniture?

[happyhalloween]

Magic servants. That's just what they're called. I didn't name them. [She's had people get mad about that before.]

[runs]

[She sees absolutely no issue with the terminology. Things get awkward or derisive names sometimes, especially when magic is involved, in her experience. That's just a thing.]

So they're made with magic? Or just spirits bound with it, or something like that?

[happyhalloween]

Uu. Depends. Some are people made with magic like Shannon and Kanon, some are demons that are bound with magic like Gaap and Ronove, and some of them are things that got demons and spirits put into them, like the Stakes!

[runs]

[An umbrella term for all kinds of magical servants then.]

Do they all look like humans or do they just look like themselves?

[happyhalloween]

Mostly. Except the goats. They look like goats who are also men.

[runs]

Why are the goats different?

[happyhalloween]

I dunno. I think they're lesser Furniture, maybe.

[runs]

[That makes sense.]

Maybe they're easier to make?

[happyhalloween]

That would make sense.
