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.

When I read the part where Mucor said the fish would be waiting on a rock,
I just assumed that she possessed the fish, and drove them to leap out of
the water. I was confused that Horn, who clearly knows all about Mucor's
ability, didn;t assume this as well. So what am I missing? Is it stated
somewhere in Long Sun that Mucor can't possess little-brained animals, or
something?

BTW, as soon as I got my copy of _OBW_, I took the paper jacket off and
tossed it. I recommend this to everyone because (a) the cover is tacky to
the
point of acute embarassment, and (b) the hardcover under the dustwrap is
actually a lovely rich blue. This greatly improved the object-quality of
the book.
