Sorry for the wait, Signore Loki.

 

No worries, you're where you're *supposed* to be. You made Initiate awhile ago, remember? (It was on the old board) Your rank was one of those unaccounted-for-til recently moving cleanups that still needed to be done.

 

So welcome back to the right shoes. :>)

Loki Wyrd sighs in relief as Ozymandias changes his "Honored Guest" name tag back to his original "Initiate" tag, adjusting the title below his name proudly and straightening his tunic. Bowing to the Loremaster, Loki Wyrd whistles to himself happily and briskly walks towards the exit of Cabaret Room, not noticing a scaly claw as it reaches for him from a dark corner of the room...

 

Grabbing Loki Wyrd by the collar of his tunic and yanking him towards his hiding place, Wyvern places a scaly finger up to the Initiate's lips to silence him and hisses in a low voice:

 

"Let me guess... you were given the 'unaccounted-for-until-recently' explanation, right?"

 

Loki Wyrd stares at Wyvern in a half-confusion/half-anxiety, then slowly nods his head.

 

"Well..." hisses Wyvern while taking out several portfolios labeled 'Initiate Files,' as well as a tome labeled "The Life, Times, Psychology and Emotions of Initiate Titles." "It seems you may have been shorthanded in terms of explanations. Allow me to explain what really happened to your Initiate title in your absence, Mr. Wyrd."

 

Loki Wyrd frowns and fiddles with the tag under his name nervously, glancing towards potential escape routes to the exit of the Cabaret Room as Wyvern continues.

 

"From the minute I layed my eyes on Initiate Title #218 (that's your title) I knew she was gonna be trouble. She was too perceptive, always leaning a little to close to the Page titles, always a little too observant of her own race. It wasn't until you left the guild that Initiate Title #218 took the time to study, and discovered the fate of Initiate Titles when a member reaches Page, that being their complete removal from existance. She formed a resistance known as the 'Initia Militia' that waged a war on Page Titles... a war that escalated to a war against all other titles, their presence all insinuating doom upon her and her race. Her campaign was surprisingly successful, but was thwarted upon your reappearence at the Pen."

 

Wyvern places a scaly claw on Loki Wyrd's shoulder as the Initiate gives him a blank stare.

 

"For this, I must thank you Loki Wyrd... in recapturing Initiate Title #218, you may very well have saved the existance of all honorable titles."

 

Wyvern pauses for a moment, his face suddenly darkening.

 

"But remember to be wary of your Initiate Title... she may be plotting against you at any given moment!"

 

With that, Wyvern lets Loki Wyrd go. The holder of Initiate Title #218 stumbles the rest of his way to the exit of the Cabaret Room, now even more befuddled than when he had first arrived.
