I can not say why I find your statement so ironic Professor, but I am sure you know why.
Dirae, the most valuable praise I have received was when several people whom I highly respect admired my feat in spending weeks in the Mirror Marches to see if there was anything to see out to Nightmares 50.
(associated is one of my regrets, I should have stayed until Nightmares 77)
So a question:
What about your Love do you love best? Obviously some people are exempted from this question, I myself have no Love, thus my Curiosity.
Ezekiel: Love most about my love is how sharp it is and how it looks black in the moonlight when covered in blood.
Eli: Godâs Wounds, itâs too early in the morning for this, EZ. But⌠unfortunately the thing I Love most about my beLoved would probably be far more depressing and involve just as much carnage⌠Letâs direct this conversation in a different directionâŚ
Do you have a true and proper nemesis? A Moriarty to your Holmes, perhaps?

"Iâm a little curious about who your Love is, now.
The closest I have to a nemesis is the Bishop of Southwark. Iâve already foiled his plans, though, so mostly we just trade blows whenever we meet. Probably nothing like Moriarty and Holmes. Neither of us is very subtle."
When it comes time to go all out against an enemy, what is your weapon of choice? Forcing your foe into social exile? A pistol duel at the hour the gaslights are turned up? A good, honest fist fight? Poison? Financial ruin? Or something subtler and more devious than all of the above?
Ezekiel: it is easier just to let the spores do their work. Is not unpleasant feeling.
Eli: Hm. I had an affair with a woman by the name of⌠Uh. She had yellow hair and dressed in black. Eventually, love of any kind became too painful. It will always be a Russian Autumn for me.
Question,
If you decided to throw a part for a bunch of your closest friends, what would you organize?

Maria: No ball, for sure⌠something you need a lot of Vodka for. Something wild. And you canât forget pickles and bacon⌠probably just a lot of drinks⌠I donât host many parties, to say the truth⌠none to be exact. But I am inviting since I recently moved to a nice townhouse⌠a bit too quietâŚ
Agata: Hm⌠I donât know too⌠maybe we will see by next year⌠or earlier⌠afterall, I am being told I should be happy.
Why do you think are we being kept behind the times, without electricity?
I believe it is because of the implications of electricity. If Mr. Marconi is correct it should be possible to use electricity to excite the ether and send a message over it, or something like that â I am certain Professor Strix could more properly explain it.
That would be disastrously dangerous down here. The Unterzee bends not just space but Time Itself. In far Irem the future, the past, and the present blend into one. I myself take great advantage from the differing time-streams. The consequences of being able to send a message across the Zee . ⌠⌠are more than my mind could contemplate. But surely even the Dawn Machine pales before the ability to control Time and Space.
My question is for any academic suitably skilled as to give an illuminating answer:
What would be the effects if I were to take one of Mr. Marconiâs device far to Zee, to Irem or Kingmakerâs Castle, deep into the Past or the Future â and then, from there, send a message back to London?

Then the message will be lost, for Kingmakerâs Castle does not exist. Irem will have lost the message. There will be many travelers, who will discard and destroy everything they will have for the priceless Song. Your message will be carelessly caught, and thrown away.
I just saw something on my morning paper. Have any of you ordered a hit on somebody else currently present here?
Ezekiel and Eli answer at the same time, but their answers are not the same. They look at each other awkwardly and put their hands in their pockets, gazing at the clock.
Ezekiel: If want to get into that vein, who here do you think you could take in a fight?
I most certainly have not ordered a hit on anyone. I regret answering your question with a negative, but you provoke me to a question for you that I simply must have answered, if you would.
Question:
Estelle, Why do you claim Kingmakerâs Castle does not exist? I have visited it too many times myself, and my sister Malice â before founding our colony at Aestival â once sacrificed her First Officerâs humanity there. I can attest, he was much changed, and though he no longer wept . . . I would not call him human any more, more a thing that moves and talks and thinks with no emotions or drives left within the body.
Eli: If I could manage to find who had placed the hit, Iâd offer diplomatic solutions in hopes that it was just a misunderstanding⌠If not, I have one of Londonâs scariest problem solvers in my employ.
Ezekiel: BLOOD
Eli: Case in point. But Iâll pass this question along, I imagine thereâs be plenty of different answers.
âIfân ya discovered ya had a hit on ya, what do ye fink would be tha best course oâ action?â
Well, I donât know about you, but I only recall a Kingeaterâs Castle. Thatâs a bit different, no?
Also, pass. I donât have any experience with assassinations either way, so the most I can say is, make friends with everyone until the point where going after me involves making enemies of everything else. edited by Estelle Knoht on 5/27/2016
Dirae Erinyes: Lure them into the Forgotten Quarters, or the Flit, or deep into the marshes. Somewhere that you know well and wonât bother the good folks of London. If they are unfamiliar, the terrain will usually do the job for you. Set up a few traps ahead of time if you can help it. If they are, still try to exhaust with the chase. Have a good selection of weapons, I prefer knives. My wife prefers guns. Use whatever s best. Never fight fair when itâs your life.
Question:
Whatâs your favorite tea time treat?
