Anyone else getting letters from people they know back home?
Gellert, my apologies for disappearing like that.

Letter? No.

[crackpotcrocker]

Mmmm. How strange.

[wandthief]

So you got some letter from home?

[crackpotcrocker]

Yes, from my old bat.

[wandthief]

I didn't know bats could handle quills to write with.

[crackpotcrocker]

No, no. My mother.

[wandthief]

Oh.

Don't you like her?

[crackpotcrocker]

No.

[wandthief]

What did she say?

[crackpotcrocker]

To paraphrase, 'Help my beloved child and save me! I'll make you cookies afterwards.'

Bah!

[wandthief]

Save her from what?

[crackpotcrocker]

She didn't say. Those scientists are watching her too much.

...Strange. Never thought there was anything that scientsts could do to not piss me off and here I'm glad mother is in grave peril because of them.

[wandthief]

Have you seen her here at all? Maybe it is a hoax.

[crackpotcrocker]

Never been to Lachesistein.

[wandthief]

I've never even heard of it before.

[crackpotcrocker]

Nor have I. Mmmmm. Well, I'm not going. My roommates are. Suppose I'll hear what it's all about when they return for me.

[wandthief]

With your mother?

[crackpotcrocker]

...... I hope not. No, some of their friends are there as well. Apparently.

[wandthief]

So there will be more people coming back then. If they make it back.

[crackpotcrocker]

........ Mmm, I'm not sure how I feel about those two not making it back.

[wandthief]

But it's a possibility.

[crackpotcrocker]

Yes, yes it is. Anything is a possiblity.
