World Refugees Final Mix

Goodness, but it's been hard to get a moment alone.
Hello darlings. Did you miss me?
Ooh, I bet you have questions. So many questions...
Well, I do love to talk, but Mistress is already cross with me for letting your little innkeeper live.
That and I'm a wretched liar.

Still, I couldn't resist the chance to say hello. Properly, that is. All cards on the table.
Well, not so much, really, but you know what I mean.
I have to say it's been delightful playing with you all these last seven months. The little birdie's memories were quite useful. How many of you remember the game she played those years ago, when she was only half herself? Pretending to be human? Pretending to be a different person? Hiding under an new name?

Making you think she was innocent.

Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice....
Well, you know how the saying goes.

Iiiiiii..... missed the ride off earth, didn't I?

I didn't want to be inconvenient, but i am ready to come back, if y'all don't mind.
Mostly I want to pick my magic lessons back up. It sounds like I might need more than just a little thunder if I'm gonna be of any use...

O hey guyz.

Sorry I ran out on you. Not that I'm useful yet or anything.
Family sucks. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

I think I'll stay on earth for now. I'm just letting you know I'll be posting and stuff, a little.

The magic practice room in Rainbow's End was a great idea. Genius. So when can I learn Thundara? Should I wait until after we find the kid?

ok, that's not the real point of this post. Um... I'm really, really sorry Amy. And Mabry. That ant farm that was a present for the kid? It kind of broke...

my cat did it.

unless you have a magic bubble that can scoop them all up out of the carpet and the woodwork, I have no idea what to do about it.

sorry...

So as far as this magic thing goes, do I just knock on Merlin's door and ask him to train me? I mean is he busy? Should I send some kind of formal request?

I've never talked to a legendary wizard before.

I didn't even know there were cats in hollow Bastion. Dunno why.
Let's see, how did I say this to my dad when I was a kid? Oh yeah.

"I, uh, found a lost kitten. Look at him... he's so cute and all alone. Can I keep him?"

I'm calling him Bugs.


Sorry I found a cat instead of your wife, Jalen.

[this is a new voice!]
So I was gonna write something to the effect of "hey infamous refugees, if it's this easy to stumble upon your website, why don't you have 50 raving mad fanfic writers haranguing you every day?"

But then something weird happened.

I... think... I'm a raven. And while this place doesn't look too different from my Oregon forest, I'm pretty sure there are no talking, computer-using ravens on earth. Or people who spontaneously turn into them, so...

[...long silence...]

Does this happen to you often?
