[As part of the celebration of 0134 being promoted up the faction ranks, there's been minor construction work throughout the Grounds. After a week, a magnificent fountain with waterslides is in the center of the grounds with unusually bubbly water shooting out the spout. There is a plaque]

"The Bounty of Water: A Lost and Recovered Work of Bergholt Stuttley Johnson. Dedicated to the hardworking Agents of 0134"

[However, soon after the installation, everyone from Enforcer down will notice their clothes disappearing from the laundry, and if one walks by the fountain at the right time they'll see socks, shirts, and unmentionables shooting high up into the sky, without concern for colors or dyes]

"Did old age get to him, or some of his clients?"

"I think he got lost in one of his own buildings."

He looked thoughtful for a moment. "So I guess it's possible that he's still alive ,just lost in the twists and turns of space and time within."

"I guess that could be considered a fate worse than death." She doesn't seem to be as horrified by the prospect as she really should be.

Can't you just get another cloak?

"Not like this one. See the glow under here?" She flaps the edge and the cyan lining shimmers. "It protects me from all the heat and light of other worlds... mostly."

"So not exactly something you can just order from a store, then."

"Not really. I could MAKE one, but it would take about a month of constant work... fabrication wasn't one thing I was particularly good at." She admits, tugging the obscenely-colored hood up. "There may be other things like it I can use, though..."

It sounds as though the thought hadn't really occurred to her until now.

"By gods! Staying cooped up indoors while working on that for a month can't possibly be healthy!"

[not_that_shady]

"That's how fabrication spellcraft is." She shrugs. "First we have to MAKE it, which takes a while to congeal the shadow, then if it's supposed to have any kind of magical properties then it has to be enchanted, which takes just as long! It... doesn't work that way for you?"

[beat_eleven_months]

"Not really, no. Hour or two on the outside."
