"Well, excuse me!" said Eta with mild irritation. "I don't spend all my time mapping sewers you know."

Having vented some of her irritation, she approached the strange man who could use magic without spells.

"Sooo.... Do you happen to know anything about magic? You know, since you can use it so easily? I'm really interested in learning why Joanie over there" she pointed at Joanie "'dreamt magic up' as she put it. Why magic suddenly exists in this world. Or if magic was always here, then why is it suddenly so much more common and powerful."

"That depends. Do you know the password?" Menkau asks deathly seriously. You perceive a slight disturbance in his shape, one that makes you want to take a step back.

[Parisbre56]

Eta almost said "Swordfish", but decided against it.
"Password for what?"

[The Froggy Ninja]

Onto step two.

[Harry Baldman]

Eta almost said "Swordfish", but decided against it.
"Password for what?"

"You don't ask about the password. That's rule number one. Can you guess rule number two?"

[Xantalos]

Hmm. Head toward the leyline! Make my best attempt!

[Parisbre56]

"You don't ask about the password. That's rule number one. Can you guess rule number two?"

"How many guesses do I get?"

[Toaster]

"Yeah, that sounds good.  Let me talk to him."

[Harry Baldman]

"How many guesses do I get?"

"A single one! And maybe another one if it's a good guess."

[lawastooshort]

”No! You can’t! I think. Now, yield, or I shall enchant the potato nearest your nose – and you shall know the pain of slight hunger!”

[Parisbre56]

”No! You can’t! I think. Now, yield, or I shall enchant the potato nearest your nose – and you shall know the pain of slight hunger!”

((Bring out the comfy chair!))

"How many guesses do I get?"

"A single one! And maybe another one if it's a good guess."

"Hmm... Okay... Is it 'You don't answer questions about the password'?"

[Harry Baldman]

”No! You can’t! I think. Now, yield, or I shall enchant the potato nearest your nose – and you shall know the pain of slight hunger!”

"Oh no. However will I survive?"

"Hmm... Okay... Is it 'You don't answer questions about the password'?"

"Quite wrong. Sorry. But I could just tell you everything anyway. You seem kind of trustworthy in a terribly destructive way, which I rather like. But you can't tell anyone, or measures will need to be taken, okay?"

[Parisbre56]

"Oh. Not a soul? Can't even tell it to someone who knows the password?"

[Harry Baldman]

"Yeah, that sounds good.  Let me talk to him."

Sherry dials up the number, and waits a moment. Frankie picks up on the other end.

"Yeah, hey, Frankie, it's me again. Can I talk to Tom?... What?... Huh?... Well, can you, like, maybe relay some information to him? I've got a friend who wants to, like, talk to him or something... okay? Yeah? How about it?... Okay, you talk to my friend, and tell Tom what he tells you, okay? Alright. Here goes. Don't hang up!"

She hands you the phone, and you put it up to your ear.

_{"Who speaks here?"} whispers the tinny, girlish, distinctly nasal voice of Frankie. She's breathing heavily into the microphone, sounds like. _{"Why do you seek Tom? Don't you know Tom?"}

"Oh. Not a soul? Can't even tell it to someone who knows the password?"

"Well, maybe if they know the password, yeah. But only vague clues even then! And you can't tell anyone the password, either! And I'll know, trust me. I always know! Anywho, ready?"

[Parisbre56]

"Yes, I think. Wait, this won't cause my head to explode, right?"
