This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

By birth perhaps, but not by internal time. Inire made the time-bending
and space-bending Botanical Gardens, and had some of Gyoll diverted to
water the ancient purple creepers and otherworldly averns under the
consrvation of the curators. It make sense that he also collects artwork
from other times and places, and may have diverted a curator to keep it
washed as well.
