Now there are a bunch of injured miserable people two of whom start confusedly making out, and a knife, which can be straightforwardly dunked in concrete and taken to a boat to be dumped in the sea! Hurrah! The menace is ended!

Permalink

Lucien stares wistfully at the people making out for an inappropriate amount of time.

Permalink

The now-necklaced people who are in relatively good health can come along on the trip to bring the knife to the sea; this group includes the ones who are making out. They pass through a town (well, near a town, the knife itself can't go into the town) on their way to the coast and the happy couple come back with one earring each.

Permalink

Probably that has some sort of local meaning. They look so happy...

Permalink

Well, another one of the party congratulates them on their engagement, so maybe that's what it means!

Permalink

He doesn't cry! Okay, he cries a little but not that much.

Permalink

The congratulator wants to know if he's okay.

Permalink

"Yes, I'm fine, I hope they're happy."

Permalink

The knife is dropped forty miles out to sea with appropriate finality and they can all go home now. Lucien gets a lot of money.

Permalink

Does the department office still have the contact info for his love?

Permalink

Yes? Does he want the note she left, now?

Permalink

Yes, definitely. He assumed it was just her contact info, but if there's more he would definitely like to see it.

I don't understand how your artifacts are interacting with each other and it looked like it might be complicated, so I'm leaving this in the department mailbox and you can come find me if you need me later. I try to be a generally benevolent and responsible person and if you would be more comfortable talking to me regularly to tell me all your secrets etcetera we can definitely do that. If the artifacts have combined to make it so you don't want to see me after all that's of course also fine.

- Annie


And it has her address and phone number.

She has such pretty handwriting. And a name! Annie! It's perfect.

He calls the number.

Permalink

"Salutations."

Permalink

"Hi - I'm calling to talk to Annie?"

Permalink

"Who's calling, please?"

Permalink

"Lucien Schulman, I met Annie after I had an accident with some artifacts and she left me her contact information in case I would be more comfortable telling her all my secrets."

Permalink

"- ah, she isn't home right now, can I tell her where to call back?"

Permalink

"Oh, I can call back later? I don't really have a location she can call right now."

Permalink

"...try again in an hour, I guess."

Permalink

"Okay. Thanks."

He's going to spend the hour looking at the note and repeating 'Annie' under his breath.

Permalink

If he tries again in an hour:

"Salutations."

Permalink

"Hi!"

Permalink

"I saw you on the news. Congratulations."
