Ahhh, I see. That's the sort of thing I think we can definitely use, so it's certainly good that you're working on it. Having meetings over something like that instead of having to make sure we're here more often than not would be convenient, especially if someone's sick or injured or something like that.
[...he could have certainly used something like that last February, anyway...]
Well, I can handle a little more information than necessary, but you're right. I'll admit that I might be overthinking this a bit, but... I do enjoy adding extra bells and whistles, both to give the person I'm working for the best product possible and because it's more challenging than meeting the bare minimum.
That was the hope. The main issue I have is security and making sure that no one else finds a way of poking their nose into things if we do manage to have meetings over the compasses rather than in person.
[ She hums, considering. ]
I'll write up the information and get it back to you, how about that? I might even be able to use my magic to duplicate parts of the book I have.
I'm going to look in to making it as secure as possible. A lot of people know I make compasses, since I don't hide them, so the separate compass network isn't a secret. Making a different device for us might work too, but I don't want us to worry about carrying too much around.
[ It's something to think about, at least, and she has the time for it. ]
That would be wonderful. What's the point of having so many magical people around if we can't work together to make things better?
Yes, I could easily see how that could get to be a bit much, even if we'd likely only be using the one for official business. I suppose if they were all different, it would be a good way to avoid mixing them up, but...
Mn, well, there's something to be said for personal advancement, but if we're all in the same boat, as it were, there's no reason to keep things strictly to that.
That just makes for a few more questions. Maybe I'll look into developing a specialised network just for us and until then we can just be particularly careful about contacting each other.
Yes, that's true. We'd really have to be in a particular mindset, though, as misfires can be embarrassing at best and disastrous at worst...
[...trying to warn the Seelie about the Jabberwhelp did not go as planned.]
It most definitely shall. Anyway, what materials would you recommend gathering to start out on these? I imagine it won't take you too long to get the book copied, but I suppose that I may as well get started with preparations even before I can begin working in earnest.
I haven't had any unfortunate misfires, thankfully, but I'm sure it's entirely likely to happen.
[ Does anything ever go as planned? ]
All you'll need is something with a flat surface, so you can record the video, big enough for however large you'd like the video to be. I use compasses and whatever other items people bring me, so it's very much up to personal direction.

And that would be lovely, actually. If I make any breakthroughs, then I'll definitely let you know about them as repayment.

[ And she nods, agreeing easily. ]
Then we'll work together. It's going to be fun!
