[[OOC: I'll post in both our threads]]
"Calvera, I am glad you reached out and are alive. I take it you didn't end up going to Kasaba?"

"Well done! I think that will be very useful in the near future. I found Martin, and he already knew. Apparently he has numerous sources and friends of his own, that keep him informed. He has no desire for the throne or to have anything to do with the politics of Amber, so he has chosen to remain in exile."
Hammett takes a moment, "As for Amber, well, things are going different then I expected here. Julian apparently took off a few weeks back, leaving orders for his troops to guard Arden to the fullest, but where he went no one seems to know. And... Benedict has placed Aunt Flora on the throne. She is regent for now, but will become Queen at some point in the near future. As soon as Benedict did that, he apparently gave order to Bleys and Fiona, who have also left the castle, and then Benedict took off on some secret mission of his own, going to where or to do what, no one seems to know. They do not even know if he will return after whatever his is doing is over.
I returned to the castle a few days ago, with the intent of giving my regards to Flora, but to also gain access to the great library to do some research and try and discover what King Random was looking into before his death, but I was detained upon my arrival by the guards and locked up in a cell here, apparently they still think I had something to do with Random's death, which tells me either my letters and messages to Benedict and others never were delivered, or they chose not to believe me. Either way, they have kept me locked up without any word on when I might speak with Flora or other legal advisors, and are only feeding me bread and water. All in all, a rather boorish situation. I was just working on a trump to get me out of here when you called."

"I would be happy to make you a set of trumps, but I am not Dworkin. I can't just pull decks out of my behind whenever I feel like it. My personal deck took years to create and is still not complete. Just making one card, without someone posing for it, can take up a few days, up to a week. What you are asking could take almost a year of work, with almost no breaks for anything else. So, I'll have to decline. As I said, I've almost finished a temporary trump sketch here, and was just getting ready to leave on my own."

No counter offer to Calvera? You must have something for him. Why should you be the only one on the Amber shit-list? Better to have Cal take some of the heat off. |
