“Noire” LeSable – "At least one point four litres. That much I am aware of. I was missing three litres of equivalent brewed volume of ground darkdrop coffee beans when I regained consciousness the next evening, blood dribbling from my mouth, and I can’t be sure as to whether I had drank it, eaten it, or thrown it out a window in a caffeine-and-God-knows-what-induced frenzy. I know, I know, it was foolish of me to drink several cups’ worth of darkdrop coffee at once, but I was still new from the Surface back then, and years of studying in the libraries and laboratories of… my home university, had left me well acclimated to the comparatively weak coffee I could afford on my stipend. I thought the same minimum amount of Neath coffee would be necessary to keep me awake. I didn’t consider it to be ‘too much.’
"Trust me, it is not something I intend to try again; I’d ruined a good number of my notebooks and part of my wardrobe, and trying to get the ink off of the ceiling has been a nightmare (how I managed to write all that without owning a ladder will forever remain a mystery).
“My question: what was the most remarkable thing that has happened to you this week?”
So, darlings. What is your favorite flower, and why? What is it’s significance to you?
My favorite flower is one which I don’t know the name of, but it’s a breed between exile’s rose and some flower from hell. It is significant to me because it has given me leads to find the one who has killed the one I love
There are plenty who I’d dread owning a big favor to - The Calender Council, The Brass Embassy, The Captivating Princess. But perhaps none more then said Princess. Fortunately, if anything, after certain…events she owes me big. Not that I’d ever call on that. It’s so much more FUN having a favor one can use but doesn’t.

Who prehaps owes you the biggest favor of all?[/quote]
Wow. I guess this is a hard-hitting question because everyone went silent!
I will say none because I don’t want to put due pressure on anybody who thinks they owe me. Magnanimous 26, no pressure for everyone!
What do you know about Aestival? What would you like to do there?
Missed Connections:We met in the Chambers of the Heart on Thursday. You were wearing ceremonial Khanate armour. I had seventeen mirrors embedded in my hair. I smiled and said "Hello". You smiled back. We briefly had sex in someone’s memory of a zee-storm. Fancy a coffee at Caligula’s?
If London decided to open it own embassy in Hell, would you be interested in applying for a diplomatic position there?
Wait. You say "take that any way you want" but then you say "don’t get too perverted." Seems like you are contradicting yourself. Anyways it would be Mr Iron because it is the strong, silent type.

Question: What is your favourite Neathy joke?[li] edited by Lady Sapho Byron on 5/12/2015[/quote]
[/li]I agree, Lady Byron, quite unsporting.
I think the biggest Neathy joke would be the fungal wine.
But seriously, if you pardon the irony, I would have to say it would be the following exchange:
"What is black as sin on a forgotten night, claws as sharp as a knife, and fangs that bite as deep as betrayal from a ungrateful child?"
"I don’t know, sir, what?"
"I don’t know either, but it’s got my leg! AAIIIIEEE!"
[li]And as far as my question, What (or whom) is your favorite pet?
Haha, well, I can’t get away with calling the wife a pet, so whom is out of the question. Not without catching hell coming from the parlor. Dorothy, our dear missionary tenant wouldn’t appreciate it either. Honestly, many of the animals cantering around the grounds aren’t strictly pets. I rely on their good will, and good stocks of meat. Among other things.
That said, my favorite is Sophie, the albino rat. She’s not really a pet- - but she’s a dear friend. Good conversation, good temperament, and it only takes thimble of the '82 to get her good and sloshed, so she’s a relatively cheap date.
For my question: if you could have one thing you don’t already own for your mantlepiece, what would it be?
I have heard a hint of a rumour of a riddle. The whispers I hear speak of an Enigma, promising a trail of clues. I would be Ambitious enough to follow it, if I had but the slightest clue of where to start.

Ah, well.
What has most recently made you angry?[/quote]
Trying to find the very thing you speak of.
What character would you like to have as a constant companion?
I regret associating with and, to some degree, helping the Revolutionaries, before I learned what was meant by the "Liberation of Night".
I regret taking so long to make the important allegations at the University, for fear of being thrown out in disgrace. If I’d done it earlier, I might have discovered the joys of Zailing earlier. And my conscience would be easier.
What would you say to entice a friend from the Surface to join you?
Well, er, I don’t really have much in the way of friends on the surface. Or friends in general really. I mean I used to be friends with Jason but then I objectively proved blue was the best colour and… Er, nevermind.
I guess I’d argue that with the strange stuff happening to death here this is the best place to work it out and give immortality to everyone. Not that that’s the only mystery to solve here there’s a number of exciting possibilities.
What change do you hope to accomplish in the state of the world/neath? edited by FreedomGeek on 5/14/2015 edited by FreedomGeek on 5/14/2015
I hope to make this world one in which those by the name of Fred Mouse are obscenely rich and loved by at least a dozen women in every port. I desire to make it much more informed about all the nasty creatures that lurk within it and I aim to unravel their mysteries by cutting right through them with my blade as Alexander did the Gordian knot. I don’t care if the answers I find only beg even greater questions and leave those with weaker minds knowledge best left unknown. The more monsters are feared the more people will pay to have them dealt with. I’d never wish to actually make the Neath a safer place by permanently reducing their number. I doubt that’s possible and more importantly it’d be bad for business. Hopefully I’ll see the day when I’ve gathered sufficient material for a bestselling bestiary. I’ll probably donate a great deal of the profits to the Tomb-Colonists. In my line of work I’m liable to end up looking just like them sooner or later.
