I am so, so sorry, I have not been keeping up with this.
Am I still alive? What happened to Erin? When is my turn? What has happened since RL ate me whole?
The fort's flooded, Apiks is dead, Sprin is dead, Arc is dead, Erin... I think is dead. Either way, we're waiting for Gwolfski to hand over the save so I can take a crack at this madness.
Erin's dead, not that it's mattered much. He's just a ghost now, still a perfectly valid teacher. The swim to the Orchestra and workshop gate is a long one, though, so you'll need to hold your breath. For a while.
Arc is stuck in Schrodinger's Existance Debacle: he's not been forumited, but he's a recognized character for the role playing.
Apiks and Sprin are both dead, dragons be praised.
All in all, not much out of the ordinary has happened since you left.
EDIT:
I god-damned guarantee you that some overseer will flood the fort at least partially.
Oh, hey, look at that.
Also:
Imic was walking through the fortress, on break from his work. He was looking for a certain fourmite. After going through most of the fortress, he returned to the meeting area, where he found the fourmite in auestion.
'Hello, there. My name is Imic, may I ask yours?'
'Erin... Is my name.'
'You were a... Magitechnologist? Wasn't that it?'
'Magitechnition.'
'Yes, that was it... I have a question.'
'Yes?'
'Well, you see. Um... I... Am intrested in magitech...'
'Yes...'
'Well, you see...'
'Mhm?'
'I... Will consult with Apiks. On whether or not you are needed for anything else.'
He mainly said this out of bewilderment from a large dwarf dropping on his knees and yelling...
'Thaaaaank you soooo much...'
We are going to need twelve rubies, fifteen cubic kilograms of copper wire, one bottled thermonuclear catsplosion, and a baby dragon. Get to work.
EDIT: Also: Magitechnician. You take "magic", and you take "technician", and you add them together, and it's "magitechnician". C, not T.
Did you get the rubies, copper wire, catsplosion, and dragon for me, Imic? I'd imagine that you've had time to acquire them.
