[Mallory]

Text to Jewell: I think she’s bound to something there, and it’s strong
Text to Jewell: she has a shadow, and her KEY has a shadow too
Text to Jewell: I don’t know what it is or how to talk to it. I’ve always minimized my business with Old Ones for a good reason, you know?

[JewellRavenlock]

Text to Mallory: Said she's heading for the Inn and then the Tower and maybe home
Text to Mallory: I think we're going to need to break whatever that tie is before it consumes her

[Mallory]

Text to Jewell: if it’s a pact, those aren’t easily broken.
Text to Jewell: not impossible. But I don’t think we’re gonna convince an Old One to let go of her willingly, if that’s what this is.

[JewellRavenlock]

Text to Mallory: Of course. Nothing can ever be easy for us
Text to Mallory: Might have to think of something to trade it
Text to Mallory: I don't know. I'm just babbling. Maybe I'll take a trip, do some research

[Mallory]

Text to Jewell: I’m going to try to figure out what it wants.
Text to Jewell: let me know if you notice anything else.

[Pharlen]

Text to Mallory: Don't you hate being summoned only to be reminded that you are not invulnerable?

Text to Mallory: Fortuitously, I have created a distraction for another matter which should afford another 68 hours of cover if you happen to need to visit any of our fine public Libraries on Earth.

Text to Mallory: I am arranging for you to meet with my husband. He is the only person I know of who has managed to fight through such effects as a key and a hole in the soul.

Text to Mallory: However.

Text to Mallory: We are not unscathed. No one remains unscathed. I advise you to back out now.

Text to Mallory: But what fun is that?

Text to Mallory: Addendum: The fae are vulnerable. The oni are not. There is a black Police Call Box near your shop. Don't hesitate to use it should you like to call on me.

[Mist Gul]

Voicemail to Mallory, early Dec. 3: "Mallory, it's me, Mist. I've done something terrible. Because Michelle did something unspeakable. She used the power, Mallory. I couldn't stop her." His voice was weary, ragged and soft. "I took her kids. They will be safe. And I need to find a white cat." there his voice broke, and he cut off the call.

[Amaranthe]

To Mallory


10:41pm


I will be dropping by your shop in the morning.

I hope you will be there.

[Mallory]

Text to Amaranthe at 10:45 last night: early, yeah. 7-9. see you then.

[JewellRavenlock]

Text to Mallory: do you think Michelle will forgive me for challenging for OL?
Text to Mallory: I don't want to make her defensive but if I don't do it, someone else will

[Mallory]

Text to Jewell: I think it’s important that there be friends standing with her right now
Text to Jewell: what are you up to now? can we talk about it? I don’t know how she’d react to this

[Mallory]

Text sent directly or forwarded to various KSR members: tabloids are bullshit. I’m calling a bounty: ten pounds of candy or a case of beer for every tabloid reporter you chase out of the neighborhood. <3

[Ebon Ilnaren]

Text to Mallory: Re: hard choices - I trust that you know what you're doing.
Text to Mallory: Following your lead.

[Mallory]

Text to Ebon: no
Text to Ebon: Michelle’s the one whose lead you should be following

[Ebon Ilnaren]

Text to Mallory: She is my Overlady and my friend.
Text to Mallory: It is a hard choice, as you said, but I will stand by her.
