It took me longer to get in than I thou[line 2]Was that Barghest I just saw leaving? [k] [charaFace A 0] @Oberon Looks like whatever she wanted must have been pretty serious... She didn't challenge you to a duel or something, did she? [k] ?1:Well... ?! [charaFace A 4] @Oberon ...I see. So she's thinking about emigrating to Proper Human History. There's something I hadn't considered. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Oberon But that's just the kind of big[line 2]I mean, bold thinking I'd expect from her! Definitely an idea worth pursuing! [k] @Oberon I wish I could have been here for that discussion.[sr]So, what did you tell her? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci That was as far as we got. It's too dangerous a topic to discuss here. [k] @Da Vinci So she asked us to come to Manchester to talk it over. What do you think, Oberon? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Oberon Manchester, huh... Not sure I like the sound of that. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Oberon The rule of Barghest's domain is survival of the[sr]fittest[line 2]a very literal dog-eat-dog world where the weak are just meat for the strong. [k] @Oberon I'm not talking natural laws here, either. This is something everyone there truly believes. [k] @Oberon In Manchester, the weak offer themselves up to the strong, and the strong think nothing of exploiting the weak. [k] @Oberon The very idea of fighting for their lives never even crosses their minds. [k] @Oberon Gloucester's fae domain is designed to let the weak and strong coexist on equal footing... [k] @Oberon But Manchester's is all about letting the strong do whatever they like, the weak be damned. [k] @Oberon Still, if you're absolutely positive that Barghest won't try to attack you there, then I suppose you could pay her a visit. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 11] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Altria Hmm... Baggie didn't seem like she meant us any harm, but she's also definitely a carnivore... [k] @Altria So if she did decide to eat us, there wouldn't be anything we could do to stop her? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Oberon Not really. You know the stories about the Black Dog Duchess, right? [k] @Oberon Barghest has taken a number of lovers over the years, but none of her relationships have lasted very long. [k] @Oberon They say she'll marry her then boyfriend and bring him back to her mansion, and by the next day she'll have eaten him whole. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Oberon The only creatures in all of Britain who eat faeries are the black dogs, and Barghest. [k] @Oberon She may struggle against her nature, trying to be civilized, but those instincts always win out eventually. [k] @Oberon There's a reason she's so widely feared. I really can't endorse this plan.

Come to think of it, Mike said something about her, too: [k] @Da Vinci “Gawain of Many Loves, Gawain the Glutton. Always hungry, never satisfied, she'll take a lover one day and eat them up the next.” [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa Hmm.

Ordinarily, faeries would never have any need for money.) [k] @Oberon (It's only because Morgan created currency that faerie society started building banks to keep their property safe, and why lockpicking was developed in the first place.) [k] @Oberon (It's not easy to open human-made safes with faerie sacraments alone, so now, we have lockpicking.)

[k] @Altria (He said he'd been imprisoned by a scary queen, but that he could still teach me magecraft if I didn't mind distance learning.) [k] @Altria (So that's how I learned the basics of magecraft. Everything else I basically came up with on my own.) [k] @Da Vinci (I see... That sounds a lot like what happened with Proper Human History's Altria.)
