It has been brought to my attention that some among us are concerned that the dead and undead may be a grave threat to those who reside in this city. [ He's a brat so he sure did link that article. ] Since that is the case, I thought I would propose a truly terrifying event that will strike fear in the hearts of all who live here.

[ INSERT DRAMATIC PAUSE HERE ]

A potluck.

[ A potluck, Archer?? ]

For those of you unfamiliar with the custom, it involves bringing your own favorite dish to a gathering and everyone sampling the food provided.

If you are dead, undead, or of supernatural origins, and would be interested in such a thing, let me know, and I'll be more than happy to organize it.

[ And with that, he cuts the feed. ]

[ Welp. ]

Likewise, I'm sure. Are there many like you?

[tigerpoet]

At home? A good fifty or so. Here, just me.

[anti_altruisms]

You may appreciate meeting some of my peers, then.

Though we are summoned by magecraft rather than alchemy, we are also ghosts in the technical sense of the term.

[tigerpoet]

If I'm thinking of the right peers - Heroic Spirits, I think they were called? - then I've met a couple. Do you know Caster?

[...specifying which Caster would be easier if people weren't so particular about their names, but he'll elaborate if asked.]

[anti_altruisms]

That's right.

[ Caster, though... ]

I can think of a few Casters so a description would be helpful.

[tigerpoet]

Oh, I'm sorry. Wears a mask, makes golems, writes some of the best poetry I've read in my afterlife?

[anti_altruisms]

[ Huh. Well, that's interesting. ]

We haven't met, actually.

This Caster is a friend of yours?

[tigerpoet]

A good friend. He's a bit antisocial, so I'm not terribly surprised you haven't met, but he's very dear to me.
