avevale_intelligencerI'm trying something new this week. Bear with me...
Part 3 of Two Magicians...and a Boat is up at http://www.avevale.org/index.php/episodes-plays/10-epsodes-plays/26-two-magicians-and-a-boat,and here's a sample:
_______________________________________
“Yes,” Mordecai said, “yes, yes, yes, Highness, I know you remember packing them, you have said so at least twenty-nine times. We have searched all of the luggage six times. You have gone over the sequence of actions you performed last night eleven times. I think it is time we faced the fact that someone has rendered all this activity completely futile by stealing the papers from your bag.”
Varnak did not respond, which was a hopeful sign.
“As to when it could have happened,” Mordecai said, “possibly when the luggage was brought on board, or possibly when I was asleep.”
“You'd have woken up—” Varnak began. “No, possibly you wouldn't,” he amended. “I know how soundly you sleep. But I can't believe it, Mordecai, I just can't. I mean, who would want a load of dry-as-dust information on Chotan?”
Mordecai rolled his eyes. “Perhaps the question you should be asking is; who would want us to go into these negotiations unarmed with the information we need?”
