I know where we are this week.

This is Fillory. There is a lot I could tell you or warn you about but we're only here for a week. Long story short this place has our best shot of breaking out of Derleth and getting us back home.

There are seven magical questing creatures. We just need to find one. All of them are a little different, and have different MOs.

Our top choice is The White Lady, AKA The Winter's Doe. She and her brother, The Great Cock, live in the Darkling Woods. The Great Cock might also be able to help but his thing is to give quests. Beggars can't be choosers but The White Lady is going to be the better bet for granting straight up wishes.

A note about the Darkling Woods. I plan on taking a route through the Flying Forest. That route is not for everyone. The trees there give off spores or something? Point is, it will get you high af. There are other less direct routes that will also get you there.

We should split up into teams. Please discuss. Ask me anything.

If we keep our heads down and you hide your banishment marks, we should be fine.

[FILTER: DANNY]

You wake up okay this morning? I need to go on this quest, but I want to make sure you're taken care of for the week.

	I wish you the best of luck with that, Eliot. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Unless this is about certain individuals who've disappeared or haven't turned out to be what you expected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We don't need to discuss him. He's gone, and with any luck, reunited with the Eliot that he wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not like I have a direct line to Vallo, Eliot. If I did, don't you think the first person I'd talk to is my fr shrink? And you're fine with a version of my brother-in-law fooling everyone for a whole week? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: PRIVATE. professorwaugh 2021-06-02 01:54 am UTC (link)
	I honestly have no idea. I just would like to think that somewhere out there is an Eliot with a boyfriend who lives. That's the bar. It's not a high bar, but it's mine. He entered at a weird time in a very vulnerable position. Honestly it was the smart play. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~That's a pretty high bar for me.~~ I'm sorry, Eliot. I really am. Dan's a grown ass adult who's got his shit together better than you and I do, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I slapped him with a crossword puzzle book. And before you scoff, as I know you will, I didn't hit him that hard, and it made me feel better after last week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's fine. And, fair. No leaving marks on anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	PRIVATE. vijf 2021-06-02 02:08 am UTC (link)
	No, it's fucking not. Because you're definitely not fine, Eliot. Tell me, if you succeed in this quest of yours? What are you going home to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brakebills, where I have a teaching position while I search for my friends ~~in New Fillory~~ who are currently on an unknown world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And is that what you want out of life? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: PRIVATE. professorwaugh 2021-06-02 02:18 am UTC (link)
	To find my very much still alive friends and make sure they're okay? Yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	PRIVATE. vijf 2021-06-02 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Okay, why wouldn't they be okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: PRIVATE. professorwaugh 2021-06-02 02:59 am UTC (link)
	Because they're lost, and I have no idea how to find them, or what kind of place they ended up in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So this whole New Fillory bullshit Fen's been talking about, you don't think that applies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
