There were some talks of negotiation, right?

It'd be after the season wraps. Maybe when they reach out for any extended contracts.

So, we hope. And if we don't have enough to go back the way we need to go back, then perhaps we do stay on.

But I will be hopeful.

I don't doubt our ability to continue on with another season, but I admit, it does seem like a considerable pain in the ass to do this several more times.

[ What if he becomes your team lead. My god. ]

[what if caleb rises through the ranks of popularity and outpaces him... its terrifying. it could happen. he's so sad and wet.]

Well, no, it is not ideal.

[ FALLING FURTHER BEHIND. Caleb as a team lead...... ]

I've been on just two seasons and it's been half a year since I've seen Wildemount. I'll be gone years before I'm done at this pacing.

[ Glancing at Beau. ]

A lot of down time to get reading done, though. If I have access to enough books and enough time to read them, I may not even need the wish.

Was your wish about learning too?

Sort of...

[but meant in a way that's 10,000 times more insane.]

[ Caleb... well Fjord's version of learning isn't also cracking open a library book so pot, kettle, to a degree. ]

I'm sure you can do your reading on the road.

...In all seriousness, what I want and have always wanted is to have access to kinds of knowledge that even the Assembly does not have. I want the ability to learn it and use it. The sort of thing that allows them to bring us here and cut us off from magic, I want that.

I still do.

If you're thinking of something on that scale, that's quite powerful.

[ The question is obvious though silent; what would you do with such magic? ]

[the answer is also silent.]

...Well, if I had it, I could undo the curse on Mollymauk or Lucien with my own hands. But maybe it is too risky, to approach it that way.

[ uuuuuh well this makes molly experience the Worried emotion and

*Vess DeRogna couldn't.
Was she any good though? I don't know about these things. ]

She was good. I am better. Or I would be, if I had the ability to learn it.

Yes yes, the condescending this is very hot, but I just feel this could spiral out into a worst case scenario quickly with the wrong choices!

If anyone has to stay on, I'll do if we need it. I'm the one that could use it the most, I think. So I don't want to be the reason anyone's stuck here.

Oh, okay. Goodbye, have fun.

[he doesn't fucking respect this answer at all.]

How is me staying here and doing what I need to do any different from going to hang out in a grave while everyone catches up for a while? I'd at least be putting in useful time rather than decomposing or whatever it is I'd be doing.
