Salica's first story

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.

In addition to your interesting connections, the strego is an excuse for
Incanto to explain the difference between believing in ghosts, believing
in witches, and believing in witchcraft.

It also helps us see how uncanny Incanto appears to the citizens of
Blanko.
