» Horizon

Geralt is always reachable by the network. Unless it's an emergency, expect not to hear back for a few hours, if not a few days.

To talk to him in person, you'll need to be in Cadens or go to his domain, a snowy mountain fortress. Yard is open; doors are locked. If he isn't around, leave a delivery with the white wolf.

Interesting thought, if there are monsters living out there when it kills normal people here.

How are things on your end?

[gynvael]

They strung up some sorry bastard outside the city gates.

Past that,
Nothing unusual.

[ Has he not been seen in the Horizon for several weeks? Possibly, but it's nothing to be concerned about. ]

[magicalarchaeologist]

The one they claim is responsible for the Nocwich attack? Hm.

[ Skeptical? Obviously. Not that he has a better option. ]

You live a riveting life.

[gynvael]

Mm-hm.
According to Jaskier
the evidence is too flawless.

[ Nothing they didn't suspect, but there isn't much to be done about it, either. ]

As riveting as the dust you mean to collect.

[magicalarchaeologist]

It's not that I doubt they want to find whoever did it. I doubt they'll be able to.

[ So they have to use someone. Hopefully the person was the bad sort, but not like it ever really matters. ]

Dirt. Not dust. I'm taking a variety of samples!

[ It's very interesting how dare you. ]

[gynvael]

I doubt many things.

[ The citizens are satisfied with one less thorn in their side; he doubts anybody gives a fuck over the particulars. It isn't the first time he's witnessed a scapegoat and it won't be the last. ]

Fascinating.
Is Yen accompanying you?

[magicalarchaeologist]

Not this time, I figured we don't need multiple mages to nearly have strokes from the Singularity.

[ It hurts a lot! He's the one willing to go through it every year if need be. ]

Kyle is going and a woman named Sabine. She has a unique connection to the Singularity, I'm going to see if it reacts the same to her as it did Rhy or if we'll get something more this time.

[gynvael]

[ Mages and their experiments. ]

I'm sure you'll keep me informed.

[magicalarchaeologist]

I usually do.

A day or so later

[magicalarchaeologist]

Have you spoken to Yenna recently?

[gynvael]

Is something wrong?

[magicalarchaeologist]

Anakin was sent back to his home. I'm not sure how well you knew their situation, but he was important to her.

[gynvael]

I see.

My movements are currently...
restricted.

I'll speak to her when I'm able.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Restricted?

Thank you. You know her, she doesn't like caring about these things, but she does.

[gynvael]

It's complicated.

[magicalarchaeologist]

What did you do?

[gynvael]

Something they didn't like.

[magicalarchaeologist]

Are you in danger?

[ Not as if he can actually do anything about it but. ]

[gynvael]

I'd worry about you,
when Yen learns you've shared her troubles.

[ He's fine. ]

[magicalarchaeologist]

It wouldn't be the first time she's angry at me for meddling and not the last time either.

I don't want her to feel alone. I'm not enough.

[ That used to bother him a great deal, but things have changed between them, and for them as individuals too. ]

[gynvael]

I know.
And she isn't.

[ There's a reason he'd asked Jaskier to look after her, even when they were not...speaking. He knows exactly what happens when loneliness and abandonment takes over. ]

If I don't hear from you in a while,
I'll presume the worst.

[magicalarchaeologist]

You can't come to my funeral but I assume you wouldn't attend regardless of faction.

[gynvael]

I'll regret your passing from afar.
Momentarily.

[magicalarchaeologist]

I'm touched.
