Name: Archer, Iskandar Date: 9th of Maurer Format: video

[The video feed starts with half of the picture obscured by some large, red shape and half showing Archer sitting at the table, a large stack of papers with what is most likely sketches of new designs in front of him. The red shape turns out to be Iskandar adjusting the position of the watch AFTER starting the transmission…He seems to be happy how he set it up and only then he joins Archer. Behind them is the familiar interior of Inkchanted.]

Hello and well met! We of the Inkchanted staff feel it’s important to announce, though we do it with deep regret, that on Full Moons and the day after that, our marvellous establishment would remain closed.

[Archer cuts in, his eyes looking more reptilian than usual, pupils turned to thin slits. It’s not as noticeable, but his eyes have a subtle golden glow. He’s smirking that irritating smirk of his, and his tone carries his usual veneer of sarcasm]

It is a necessity due to previously unforeseen circumstances. I advise our customers to avoid booking their sessions during the future Full Moons as well. Those who’ve been already booked for these days will have a priority while choosing a more fitting date.

Yes, yes. Exactly! [That’s Iskandar again. An observant eye will surely notice he’s looking a little worried even if he’s sporting his usual wide grin.] We sincerely apologize to all of our wonderful customers for that inconvenience and invite you to come back on the 11th of Maurer in the usual opening hours. We remain open for all question pertaining to the usual Inkchanted business or the current announcement.

[Having said that Iskandar raises with intention of ending the transmission but his fiddling with the watch doesn’t bring the desired effect. So, quite unintentionally it shows Archer, his eyes flashing golden for a moment .]

Are we done here?

[Iskandar dismisses him with an impatient wave.]

Yes, yes, go.

[Archer stands up swiftly, nods politely at his companion and leaves, choosing the door that leads to the session room and closing it firmly behind himself. There’s a quiet murmur of voices that is cut by a sudden sound of the window being opened, surprised yell, followed by laughter fading into the distance. (For all that know him, both sound unmistakenly like Cú.)]

Ho? Why is this light here still blinki… Malaka!

[That’s where the transmission truly ends.]

text - un: CoolSkeleton95 - typos intentional

[spaghettimonster]

[The skeleton turnskin isn't quite an Inkchanted regular, but he's been in a couple times to get a painted tattoo for some mild telekinesis magic. They may recognize his username from when Caster first requested help with supplies.]

THAT MNAKES SENSE TO MEE. TAKE YYOUR TIME AND BE WELL.

[As much as, once upon a time, he never would've encouraged people to take vacations. Who accomplishes their dreams when they're lazing it away??? People recovering from full moons, that's who. Ugh.]

SPEAKINGG OF. DO YOU HAVVE ANY OPENINGS NEXT WEEK?

I THINNK THE PAINT IS ALMOST OUT.

[Trying to type when you are a wolf with basically no thumbs is terrible.]

[towards_okeanos]

[Technically, Iskandar could go to the office to look for any kind of calendar or a list of appointments... If only he knew where his Celtic friend keeps it... and was sure one exists on paper and not only in Caster's head. ]

Well, that would be best to consult with Cú Chulainn.

[Iskandar dabbled in a few cases when someone needed barriers or healing spells and they were fine with having them painted. Telekinesis? That's not his speciality.]

[spaghettimonster]

[A full five minutes pass before another response comes. He's stumped by the advice, not immediately recognizing the name. And then the typing takes more time...]

THAT'
S THE PERRSON WITH BLUE HHAIR RIGHT?

I DON''T WANT TO CONTACTT THE WRRONG PERSON, OUT OF THE BLUE.

[...And he stopped to laugh at his own joke, before sending it. There's probably a few people with blue hair among the Mirrorbound, but hopefully only the one who's connected to the tattoo shop. Otherwise, he's going to be contacting multiple people.]

[towards_okeanos]

Exactly! That's your guy.

[Hey, funny bone, haven't you asked the person who made those tattoos on you for his name? Really? Because Iskandar has doubts that it's his pronunciation being that much off.]

[spaghettimonster]

[In the funny bone's defense, it is the full moons, and he is a monster. He's a little out of it.]

I SEEE. I THINK I MESSAGED HIMN BEFORE....

I'LL DO THAT AGAIN! THANNK YOU!

[But mostly, Iskander's suspicion is exactly correct: Papyrus has never asked the artist's name. And Cu has never introduced himself. If push came to shove, Papyrus could probably remember the username Caster, on any other day.]
