The Fate of Koschei?

[awitchdidit]

[Suddenly, a wild little blonde girl in a frilly dress appears on the Network. Her apparent age is much less than usual, but the hairdo and the expression pretty much immediately give away the fact that it's Beatrice the Golden.]

Ahaha, of course I finally work out how to project my image when I'm forced into a weird shape. Tragically, the pop-cute-little-girl Witch routine is trademarked in my universe and I have no intention of mocking that one where her friend can see me. I'll need to work out a medium between that and Bernkastel's permanent deadpan...

[She shakes her head.]

Anyway, more importantly, those of you who Investigated in the Low Countries this past month: I noticed that you were ahead of the Infiltrators in figuring out the identity of that "artifact" we were guarding and its association with a famous sorcerer. Do we still need to deal with that? I know you stole the real article and now recall significantly more occult rituals than the smuggler I was playing in the Walkabout itself, if you need a hand.

Rude, Matthew

Oi, I need someone to get me out of a room. I didn't do anything this time, and here you go, locking me up for absolutely no reason. This is a violation of my civil rights.

[Zed is referring to the end results of a certain throw down with Matthew, which did not go the way he'd anticipated. But hey, at least he's proven he's learned something from Traveling, like the phrase "civil rights."]

You really want to fight over this, Matthew? Just get it all out there?
