language
(Inflatable Rider Press Jan. 22, 2011)
He’s studied the Rules extensively, not so that he’ll know what to do and what not to do, but so that he’ll know what to do openly and what to sneak around at. There’s a good side to having such a disorderly Master. If something goes missing, he’ll either forget he ever had it, or he’ll assume he sold it at a massive profit, or donated it to a worthy Nexus Hall, or something suitably egotistical. Residing deep in the bottom of Streep’s pack are three texts, ancient and worn. If he’s ever caught with them, there could be trouble. Well, actually, if any sorcerer ever catches him, he’ll call two of his friends, and they’ll form an ad-hoc Threeloom, put Streep in their Angle, and throw the Grand Weaving of Irresistible Truthfulness over him. Then he’ll say “Yes, I stole some texts from Basil. I stole Riggen’s Basic Bastings, Vonfleck’s The Language of Finger-Runes, and Que’s Weaver’s Cookbook, and I’ve studied them all,” and then they’ll cut both hands off at the wrists, burn his eyes and ears out with a hot iron, and set him to begging for a living, is what they’ll do.
