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.

Nick Gevers has written the following:

<Mora isn't travelling astrally in the same manner as Horn--she's doing,
with or without Fava, what Mucor does, possessing others. Perhaps Fava
facilitates this, but I suspect the talent is latent in Mora; still, an
interesting point.>

Hey, does this then perhaps answer the question about who it is that Mora
and Inclito remind Horn of --i.e., Mucor and Blood?

Pertinent quote from IGJ: "...after racking my brain for long days I've
finally realized who you and your father remind me of. I knew--I felt, at
least--that I had met you both before. I won't tell you because the names
would mean nothing to you."

The only problem with this is crimeboss Blood--who's hardly what I would
call "very good people." Yet maybe...
