I really agree with this.

It would appear that some of the Admins around here have a wacky sense of humour and a mordant sense of authority.

Well that certainly answers the question of what the top level of the new rep cycle is...

By the way, Bêthy my love, I adore your use of the word mordant. I wish more people incorporated it into casual conversation.

Thankee, my dear Fea.

Through questionable morphology and erroneous phonology it sounds like the French for dead, and since mordants fix things (in dyeing), well, the shaky philological associations were just too tempting to refuse. Likely such a confluence is ne're to occur again on this dark screen.


And are we sure the Crack of Doom is the farthest one can go? Surely sailing west would be the pinnacle for one such as our man Thena?
