Mial answers it.

Permalink

It's some local-looking human with a municipal government badge that identifies him as Min. "Hello, I'm looking for Mihal - sorry, Mee-all - Mialavar?"

Permalink

"That's me."

Permalink

"Good, good. Did you send a letter to Amtaliwen recently?"

Permalink

"Probably. Why do you ask?"

Permalink

"She's pressing charges. Can you check your records?"

Permalink
He consults his file boxes via miracle and pulls the letter from Amtaliwen out of the Letters To Shren Alyemi: Shrennaki sub-box. It appears in his hand.

"She sent me this; I replied," he says, opening it to see what Amtaliwen in particular did to merit the shrennaki form letter.

It's the one with the upset nephews.

Permalink

"Ah, yes, now I remember. This is the one who called me a despicable degenerate. What charges is she trying to press, exactly?"

Permalink

"She said that you sent her a 'vile neologism' calculated expressly to cause psychological pain," says Min the municipal functionary. "Which might or might not fall under harassment, depending."

Permalink

"Depending on what? Whether it was calculated expressly to cause psychological pain? It wasn't. I would consider it more a concise and emphatic assertion that I am not a despicable degenerate."

Permalink

"Since you only sent her one letter, then, yes, your intentions come into play. I do strongly advise you against sending her any more letters," says Min.

Permalink

"I don't plan to. Unless she contacts me in some other capacity, but I don't think that's likely."

Permalink

"I'd recommend letting a third party reply to any correspondence she winds up sending you in the future just in case," Min says.

Permalink

"Noted."

Permalink

"Any other questions?"

Permalink
"I don't think so."

He does contemplate asking if it counts as harassment that she sent him a letter telling him to be ashamed of himself for being a despicable degenerate. But he doesn't particularly want to go after these people for harassment.
Permalink

"All right. Sorry to trouble you." Min nods politely and departs.

Permalink

Well, that was entertaining. It probably shouldn't have been, but it was. He wonders if there have been any other responses to his form letters, and checks the unsorted-mail box in his room to see.

Permalink

Nothing quite that dramatic. Some of the more earnest people who are opposed to his continuing to be a shren feel that the form letter does not signify honest engagement with their concerns.

Permalink

He reads their letters to find out if they have any concerns worth engaging with, although he very sincerely doubts it.

Permalink

More of the same, basically.

Permalink

Eh. Not worth a vile neologism, and not really worth drafting another form letter, let alone personally responding. He files the responses with the originals.

Meanwhile, Kaylo's appointment with Lazarus arrives and finds Kaylo on the lawn of Binaaralav Academy with two humans, an elf, a halfling, and a merman in a wheelchair with a bubble of water around his head.

Permalink

Lazarus appears. He inspects the magical properties of these people.
