4th summon [text]

[likesfootnotes]

This little vacation is doing nothing to restore my essence, but all sorts of things to restore my mood. ¹ I feel positively jubilant the longer that this cruise continues. What my essence has been lacking for concentration is made up for by the good karma that builds up every day. Laughter is the best medicine, as they say!

But, I have to admit it can be a little lonely without a few familiar faces. Extremely specific familiar faces, in particular. ²

Is there any way to go about putting a name on a waiting list for this cruise?

I think it would do the person I am thinking of wonders to be humbled by this grand ship and its passengers! Being the magnanimous spirit that I am, it would be wrong of me to deny him the opportunity to expand his world view.

1 - My indefatigable good cheer and debonair wit are renowned the Other Place over, but recently suffered a wearing down by servitude to the hardly dashing and increasingly surly John Mandrake. I told him often that bad moods are contagious, but his unchangingly bitter attitude tells me that he did not believe me.

2 - I refer to a certain magician that would be delightfully infuriated to find he could not control me here. Conversely, I do not refer to certain malignant spirits that would take particular offense in seeing me happy and healthy once more.

Well you can use more of 'em, say 'em louder and they don't take as much time.

And lose the subtle nuances? That is the very foundation of primitive thinking.

I'm a lot more fond of the subtle nuances of my foot up someone's ass when I tell them to shut the fuck up. I'm not saying all those words are a bad thing but they get in the way when you're trying to get the hell outta a building that's gonna blow up.

And what world do you come from where words can trip up anything but that wagging little tongue of yours?

[A fairly dry request, for Bartimaeus. He hasn't decided to apply condescension or mocking. Yet. But the night is still young.]
