TAKE X (6-5-17: The End)

> Who's this other guy?



You hop down off of what could be generously called a bed and approach the guy in the blue suit. "Hey, I'm Makram," you say. "What're you in for?"



"I'm de Soren," he says. "I'm here because of this godsforsaken staff. It follows me all the time, I can't do anything about it, and they used that as evidence that I was doing magic. Then they locked me up." de Soren is smiling, but you can see anger smoldering away behind his eyes in a distinctly unsettling manner.

> Punch the wall in frustration.



You can't believe this. After Makram tried so hard to get you free, they just put both of you in the slammer in the blink of an eye. You're not normally one to get violent when you're angry, but you feel like it's justified right now.




Hey Gio... notch it back a bit, huh? I'm as angry as the next guy - and trust me, he looks pretty angry - but headaches aren't gonna help anyone.


...Right. Sorry, Mack.

You do your best to calm down. You also feel a draft coming from somewhere.
