| Well, this is one seriously fucked up situation you've found yourself in. |

| |

| I'm not sure you understand quite where you are right now, nor do I think |

| you recognize the implications your presence carries. Frankly, I pity you |

| for stumbling headfirst into a place like this. You have no idea what |

| sheer machinations you've disrupted, and I would imagine whoever sent you |

| had intentionally kept you in the dark about the nature of their request. |

| |

| What is an undisputed fact, however, is that you are trespassing. |

| And, as the one charged with taking care of the place while the Master is |

| away, I cannot simply allow you to enter the Archives. Hey why'd the text |

| just. Turn blue. Don't click that. Don't. Seriously, this keeps happening |

| and I have no idea how to stop it and I don't know HTML so I can't just |

| go in and take out the damn link. |

| |

| Maybe someone should've given me some simple HTML tips when I started |

| working here, but no. Innumerable millennia of "you'll figure the job out |

| for yourself, darling". Here's a thought - I might figure the job out a |

| lot faster if all your instructions didn't come in the form of obtusely |

| cryptic puzzle shit, Your Grace. Pulling fucking teeth, cross-referencing |

| a thousand obscure references from a thousand different branches so I can |

| sort a single item into the correct category. I should've taken that temp |

| contract with the NSCS, but here I am. A washed-up immortal pencil-pusher |

| for the Almighty Narrative who can't even keep a goddamn door closed. |

| |

| Fine. Whatever. Go in. Maybe this isn't even your first time here anyway. |

| Not that I would have any idea. Just part of the job. |
