Editing Interlude – Saliss the Architect

*

[[Saliss Oliwing|Saliss]] currently is making a potion with the volatile [[Seith]] while in a state a sleep deprivation and full of thoughts on how he should better make use of his time, his mind shifts to what [[Chaldion Oliwing|Chaldion]] had done during the [[Winter Solstice Conflict]] with his suicide charge right when his mixture changed rapidly causing a massive explosion. Saliss sits within the secret headquarters of High Command speaking his mind out to the observing leaders of [[Pallass]] about what they should do, he can plainly see that High Command is going about dealing with him the wrong way as [Major] [[Howkless]] begins to throw threats at Saliss. The [Alchemist] starts to elucidate to the [Major] and the others listening in on what would happen if they went through with their threat of arresting [[Mirn]] for no ''justifiable'' cause telling them to read his file for the answer, he leaves them a present as he departs.

Before High Command can get things going, Saliss takes Mirn aside from his job to tell the [Protector] what just happened and to put [[Turnscale]] activities on lockdown for now. The two of them get ready to enact their plan but it the meanwhile Mirn mentions that he's been babysitting this kid who he thinks might be one of them, Saliss slaps him with the cruel reality they live in before he enters both Alchemist's and Adventurer's Guild to inform them that he has quit. In the Mage's Guild Saliss turns in immigration papers for [[Oteslia]] and then leaves in a fast-moving carriage out of the [[Walled City]]. Saliss arrives at Oteslia with [[Shaerrha Brasswing|Shaerrha]] there to greet him, he gets escorted by [[Mivifa Selifscale|Mivifa]] to her house who finds out that the [[Drake]] is in fact Mirn transmogrified as he needed to get away from Pallass for now.

[[Rags]] was gushing about the new crossbow from the gift [[Calescent]] received with [[Gothica]] sequestering in the basement to scare [[Ishkr Silverfang|Ishkr]] when she herself gets scared at the sight of a Drake in her hiding spot, Saliss was working on his Inferno gel formula wondering what's happening in [[The Wandering Inn]] and all the gold he can see. The [[Earthers]] discuss if [[Rose Cinevoy|Rose]] is ready to start making a difference with her lacking levels as they all watch [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] on the [[Scrying orbs|scrying orb]] with Chaldion in the background in his vegetable-like state, Saliss continues to wait for High Command's reaction until he gets interrupted by [[Mrsha du Marquin|Mrsha]] checking up on him. He can see her naivety about the fate of [[Doombearers]] being solved and, unable to hold himself back, begins to clarify that what was done to [[Gnolls]] is only the beginning of the machinations Drakes have against her kind, [[Nanette Weishart|Nanette]] tries to butt in as well but swiftly retreats after being called out by Saliss.

Rose then comes in who starts to speak out her thoughts about what she should be doing to help the Turnscale cause before Saliss yells at her to go back to [[Adetr Steelfur|Adetr]] since she's unwanted and useless here. He allows her to stay to say her piece with her beginning to share about the Gnolls' secret of the [World of You and Me] [[skill]] and the history of LGBT+ rights back on Earth. Saliss cuts in questioning how she fits into all of this with her explaining that she's bi, he discredits her calling herself a Turnscale which only makes her angry at the plain dismissal of her being. Defusing the tension, Saliss moves onto what he and the other Turnscales used to do before he cut a deal with Chaldion for an uneasy truce explaining that he was tired of trying to murder his way out of persecution, Rose brings up that television was a means on Earth that helped shine a light to their plight but that only makes Saliss collapse as he realizes that his caricature of the Naked Fool was another ploy of his old man. Rose asks again what she can do to help only to get slammed onto the table by Saliss who expounds upon the cruelty the other party will enact bringing up that he and Mirn are the last two alive from their old group for a reason, he gives up after seeing her resolute desire to help asking her for more her ridiculous stories.
