Details of something called "Pup Cadets" had reached Carmen, it appeared to be The Reporter attempting to start a junior baseball team.

The secret of alchemy was that it originated to make the best alcoholbut that didn't really matter since there was now a taboo against drinking it.

There was a leak but fortunately it was from a storm drain out of a cliff into a sea, so it would be a suitable location to make a deliberate exit as the lack of one seemed to be the cause. Eventually Sarah would have to deal with it but she wasn't aware of it yet.

"Gwen, Gemma, Emily, Jane, Andrew, Eric, Thomas, James; None of my names; None of my names." Sang Emma, frustrated with the number of people who called her the wrong thing. It wouldn't be so bad if she was wearing her alternative form of Stephen who did indeed resemble the set of Orcish Octuplets she had just named but Emma was decidedly an elven female in this form. Her power of shape-shifting was rare but useful for a bard of her calibre. She would often match her race and sex to her role. Emma was the body she had been born with originally though, so this was her true form, even then things like skin tone, height, weight and eye colour shifted on a whim - though never drastically unless it was deliberate. Indeed, her lyrics continued "They call me devious, indecisive; They call me shape-shifter; that's a correct claim, that's a correct claim." But it didn't fit the tune.

Emily had another song with the lyrics "Id take Sonic over Shadow any day. You were such a fool to give us something rather cool then take it all away." Which was about video games as she understood them. She was going back to her attempts to harmonise with herself, using a combination of bardic spells and adding extra mouths, she still couldn't get the famous Rhapsody down but was making progress with those with fewer vocal parts.

Thalia had been reviewing and sent a suggestion to Sarim that an appropriate punishment for The Reporter might be to turn him into the core of a werewolf themed dungeon with deck master werewolves for Imuel to run. Sarim agreed with her suggestion and asked Carmen to send him a prayer if there was a conviction, he only planned to do it if The Reporter was found guilty of something.
Thalia considered the options of who to look at next, should she look in on one of the other gods, an adventurer, a noble or a craftsperson next? Maybe she should just attempt the trick Rajesh had demonstrated to check the logs for the behind the scenes dice rolls? That seemed like a good power though she wondered if she could even attempt it. She tried and came back with an error but it was good enough to come back with it showing the roll for this attempt was failed rather than it being something beyond her abilities.
