My dear Geraint,

While I can sit here and tell you that I read your post as thoroughly as
you read mine, well, I'd be lying if I said that. I do, however, have
some advice for you.

You really should lighten up.

I'm not sure if maybe your years in Shallam has made you so cynical and
bored that you would bother to pick apart and overanalyze my post and
then attempt to throw out tart insults to me when I have done nothing to
insult you. But I do understand. Shallam is quite stuffy these days, I
would expect you to be nothing less.

However, I am here to help. I think that perhaps you just need to take a
vacation, or perhaps have some gleam. That would certainly change your
perspective, from what I hear about the substance. Or if you need some
help learning how to have fun (since I know Shallam is kind of, well,
strict about the whole indulging thing), I'm sure my dear brothers and
sisters over at the Order of Sin would be more than happy to assist you
with that. I hear they throw one hell of a party.

Or if all else fails darling, you can simply consult Lady Eris' Pyramid,
since you seem to be slightly confused already yourself. Old age
perhaps?

With Love and Warm Fuzzies from Darkness,
Iliana Lucoster
