[UPDATE] Quirky Acuity 10th January 2006

Granier diaries, installment four
Category: me
Time: 06:57 PM

We're about halfway through these entries now - talking to Cymbalisty, he says there are only another three pages to go. Can't say I'm sorry we won't be having to work on this together too much longer; not only is he kind of slimey, but he's also impossible to work with unless he's had his Ceretin. He ran out last night, so we got no work done at all - it looked like he was half asleep, so I decided to call it a night after half an hour. But apparently he managed to replenish his supply today, and here is the fruit of our work:

2 April 1736
EM's preparations for her experiment continue. She has become peevish and irritable, and appears tired. Today, when I made to fetch her for dinner, she barked that "unlike you, I am not constantly concerned with the needs of my stomach and the desires of my...." [here she used a low word which startled me considerably]. When I expressed my astonishment at being spoken to in this fashion, she began to cry. Women are a constant mystery.

3 April 1736
The reason for EM's sullen and inconstant mood today became clear. We are to select the subjects for the experiment ourselves. The thing is dreadful. We have been given a list of suitable persons, given such matters as health, strength and height. EM and I examined this list for above two hours today, but were unable to reach any conclusion. It is intolerable that the decision should rest with us; doubly so because we do not know these men and women, and have no notion of their situations. I have requested from my lord that he should at least tell us which of them have children or aged parents in their care. He has agreed.

6 April 1736
Received grave news today from the City. The peace with Viehattle is disintegrating. There have been incursions and breaches of treaty. Our spies indicate that Viehattle may even now be allying with Anjsbourg. My mood is so much depressed by this that even the girl's most sincere efforts to enliven me brought no relief.

[Spec] Viehattle, Anjsbourg, Perplex City?? Anyone spot the inconsistancy? Maybe Perplex City was not this city's original name? Perhaps knowing this may further our quest? Perhaps not? Wink [/Spec]

hmm... an alliance of Viehattle and anjsbourg = Vie en bourg

This experiment sounds lethal, and may prove to be the turning point of the war. Could it be that it ended the said alliance at

Vi end en Bourg?

Are we looking at a political cover up of the eqivalent of Hiroshima?

Or maybe they renamed the establishment where they conceived the end of the bourg at

Vi end en Bourg.

oooh, good call belogroak! I didnt even notice that. brilliant spot.

so let's see.

Anjsbourg started this fFighting and stuff with Perplex, off and on, fFor half a century, Machiantes and Garifex joined in now and then, Viehattle had a tenuous peace with perplex, then viehattle snapped, and joined anjsbourg, vie-and-anj-bourg was born.

meanwhile granier the politician was off to see about some new materials, and just happened to be at the center of this newly fFormed enemy state, when he chose to use the Castille fFamily as guinea pigs fFor the new weapon, only one of whom managed to survive.

I guess we should get a fFew more fFacts straight before we go telling scarlett the great news Smile pragmatically, this means violet and scarlett are reaching the same sorts of places, and will have the same kinds of things to deal with, soon. which means scarlett might be able to come home, or violet will be able to go into hiding Smile


[meta] this is getting good! =} [/meta]

They come across as something akin to mediaeval city-states like Florence.

I'm just getting more and more confused about this 'experiment'. What the hell are they going to do?

Something evil with the cube I assume.

It's curious he doesn't mention which side broke the treaty.

And turned into a superhuman! Or at the very least imbued the Castille family with some very close attachment to the material the cube is made of?
