Hello, Indomitable. What is it?

1/2

[matchbreaker]

Okay, so it does, good!

[matchbreaker]

[ And then much more seriously: ]

So are you the reason why I can't erase people's memories now?

[wordsmithery]

Essentially, yes.

[matchbreaker]

What's that supposed to mean? ... How can someone even do that, anyway?!

[ She intends to be civil... ish. But she did snap that ]

[wordsmithery]

I can't very well tell you that.

[matchbreaker]

I didn't think so. Is that also why I've been feeling weird? And all of their blood doesn't even smell that good?

[wordsmithery]

I wouldn't know one person's blood from another. But any irregularities you may have noticed could fall in line with the loss of your ability.

[matchbreaker]

[ Well poop ]

What's the point in doing that? Isn't this supposed to a test? What's with putting me at a disadvantage?

[wordsmithery]

I see no disadvantage when every Apprentice is on roughly equal ground.

[matchbreaker]

[ Taking away his natural abilities hardly seems fair to her gosh. ]

I've got a lotta people with not-great blood, no bats and I can't even erase memories. Those are basic vampire skills, even children learn them.

[wordsmithery]

I fail to see your point.

[matchbreaker]

So if the humans get all their skills, why don't I get all of mine? What are they not able to smell or something?

[wordsmithery]

You're assuming they were all left with the skills and tools at their disposal. I can assure you that they were not.

[matchbreaker]

[ Ugh. ]

You're not a really reassuring guy, Smith. You know that too, I'm sure.

[wordsmithery]

I have been made aware of this fact.

[matchbreaker]

[ Good, as long as he knows that! Huff.

She doesn't have anything else to say here, and she already promised someone would kill him by the end of this. And so Elda Marker ... won't be petty about something like this and jut decides to hang up. More to right himself than anything, ]

Well, hope you can sleep.
