Harris, you remained calm and quiet even after the spell wore off. What's with the sudden change in behavior?
Harris
Well Mr. Anachronism, it's called acting! Have ya ever heard of it?
James
I'm starting to see why Jace hates you so much...
Mei
Please stay on topic; soon the night will be upon us. I believe I speak for all of us when I say that ending today's session with the retelling of a conversation will be difficult to recall and start off on tomorrow.
Sir Wev Von Vonderhart Wonvonder XLIII, Treasurer of the Kingdom of Amity
I concur.
Harris
"I concur" says the primordial.
Sir Wev
"I concur" is in vogue!
Harris
Sure sure, and so is calling things "in vogue" you *antiquated* *jester*.
Sir Wev
WHY I OUGHT TO—
Dr. Daieng
BE QUIET!!!!
James
... ...On that note, Harris, would you kindly continue where Jace's journal left off?
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Harris
With pleasure! Ahem...
As we—
Tivil
Where's the bathroom?
Harris
...
James
Tivil, why are you like this?
Tivil
I'm not holding in a *sizable discharge* to listen to more of greed incarnate's egotistical *nonsense*.
Harris
If one lacks a digestive system, surely there will be no need for said individual to use the restroom, yes?
Hazel
JAAAAaaames, Harris got those crazy eyes agaaain...
James
I can see that... uhhhhh... how abooouuut... I show Tivil the way to the bathroom and Harris can just start while we're gone? I can catch up on whatever I miss by reading the transcript anyways.
Burnon
Ey, If I say I needta use t-
Alex
No, for the sake of everyone in this venue it would be best for you to stay chained in the corner as you are. If necessary, we have buckets as toilets and some rags we could drape as a sort of makeshift curtain.
Burnon
Boo, you're no fun.
Alex
And you have killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Burnon
Oh, boo hoo, go cry about it. It's not like I killed anyone you cared about, so why shouldya give a *hoot* about how many nameless nobodies I've disposed of? In fact, I'd say the world's a better place without all those violent nobodies.
Alex
What would that make you, a voilent somebody?
Burnon
Oh, I wouldn't consider myself to be violent in the slightest!
Alex

(Written)
etc. etc., no one spoke for a hot second, OK?
Burnon
...Ey, my "ruthless murders purely for the sake of vanity and making a dope uniform" were on the battlefield for my homeland! There's nothing more noble than fighting for a cool uniform country land birthplace. Sure, I kinda took what I neededta patch up holes in the only uniform I've ever worn in battle from the recently deceased and I gotta pretty dope unofficial title for it, but that was purely out of necessity! I can't go into battle looking like a beggar or a common low-life, can I?
James
Sure sure, whatever you say. On that note, how about we just ignore Burnon over there and go on with what we're here for?
Burnon
I-
Side Conversations:
Ruby, Elmpar, and Ink were discussing potential explanations for the recent cave-ins in Auburnian mines.
Victus and Fallus were talking about what they would be doing if they didn't have to be here right now.
Carmen was spinning some tale for Saol and Rufu.
I don't really want to write any more than I have to so I'm going to leave it at that. I just hope night comes sooner rather than later so I can sleep for once.
Harris
AS WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WHEN I MET JACE, I'll talk about what happened after that. If ANY of you *bothersome* *simpletons* interrupt me, I won't be as patient as I was this time.
