The woman paused before the ancient cork, a soft laugh escaping as she perused the missive. Taking her quill in hand, she penned a note, then tacked it to the cork.

Madame Silvertree,

Ast ever, thou wouldst predicate thine departure upon a stipulation. How very much like thee, to nae have the honor nor the intestinal fortitude, nor the strength of character to resign. Thou hast revealed thineself to be unworthy of trust, Madame.

Dost truly believe that the path thou hast chosen shall do ought but further reveal thine continuing desperate grasping for power? Thou hast chosen thine path, Madame Drakewyn Anastasia Alabaster Silvertree. Thou hast and nay doubt thou shall continue, in thine overwhelming desire for power, attempt to use thine position to foist upon this community, the Rules According to Drakewyn.

I most assuredly notice that thou hast failed to elucidate upon the precedent thou didst make claim to have used when thee didst make thine ruling, Madame. Perchance, thou hast none upon which to base thine decision? Perchance, ast thou hast chosen to do in numerous past instances, thee merely followed thine own whims.

Madame, thou art a disgrace.

Read again my words on the subject Starfare, the precident is clear.

As for resigning, I merely wish to be sure that the job is in the hands of someone who obviously has enough time to do it... which, given the sheer amount of time you obviously have to watch the Arena and post your usual rants, you have.

So come now Starfare. Show the intestinal fortitude to actually do some work for the benefit of the Sport.

Drakewyn,

I volunteer to accept your tasks in place of Jonalyn. I'm more than capable, and you could then easily resign.

Lupton...

Come on in, sign the paperwork and get started.

Note that my duties here also involve calling on Thursdays, though I'm sure that arrangements can be made for you to call on some other night if you can't make it on that particular night.

Come in where, Drakewyn?

I'm happy to take over for you. Perhaps you can mail me the documents.

Even better would be if you remained a caller, yet just passed on your duties as Standings Keeper. That is, after all, where you are inept. You're a decent referee. Either way, I'll assume the duties without complaint.

Drakewyn,

I'm yet to receive any further information regarding my becoming Standings Keeper, nor have I received the documents you've requested I sign.

I wish to move forward swiftly. Please advise.

Lupton,

My apologies. Between my work here, my duties in Haaristad and spending time with my family, I had let the delivery of your recruitment package fall to the side.

It is on the way.

I surely do, Summer.

I'm sorry you don't think so.

It appears you both missed what Summer wrote.

She stated that he should get the credentials. The primary being membership on the Staff... which he does not have at this time.

Drakewyn,

Not long ago you were offering your position to Jonalyn, who is as much an employee of the arena as I. In fact, you implied the switch could be instant. "Just sign the papers," was a near-mantra.

Now that someone has taken up your offer, are you saying we are unqualified?

Or was your offer just a taunt upon Jonalyn? A bluff? I'm ready to begin. If your temporary replacement started so abruptly, I'm sure I could begin just as quickly.

Loopy luv,

We aint saying ya aint qualified, it be ta management of ta DoS that need ya credentials settled. So go be a dear and run through ta rat race and get yaself qualified! I think it a proud thing that ya be willing ta take on such a big job just for ta sport.

I be sure that ya can, and all will be satisfied. But untill such a time, do leave off chewing on ta Drake? For she at least puts her effort where her mouth is, and ya have ta comfort of being "unable" ta follow up ya guff.

So make yaself able, and then let us see ya colors shine.

But why ta bruhaha until it be done?

Lupton.

I neither stated nor implied any such thing to Starfare.
My exact statements on the matter have always been the same.
Join the Staff and take all of my duties, then I shall leave the stage.
As for Ms. Jansen, her credentials had already been supplied and she had already been signed on to the Staff.
