Order Only: Broderick Bode

[alt_bill]

For those of you who missed it, there was an item in the Prophet today announcing the dismissal of Broderick Bode, MLE Unspeakable. His assistant, Chelsea Burris, had some unflattering comments about how his 'reckless experimentation' at the Ministry inadvertently amplified the effects of the recent earthquake felt in Cornwall and southwestern portions of Devon.

That is certainly suggestive, of the Octoboros network, I mean. And it suggests that the Unspeakables are really quite unhappy about how they're performing. Or perhaps how they've been fiddled with.

Even more suggestive: I had lunch with Percy today who confirmed that Broderick Bode is not just sacked, but dead. I am not sure whether this is the only way Unspeakables may leave their employ under our present regime.

Oh, Merlin. I don't know what to say. On the one hand, I've been waiting to hear that news, or something like it, for ... Merlin, half a year now, it has to be. On the other hand... oh, Percy.

I'm sorry you had to sit through all that. I'm not wasting one more moment of compassion on Percy ever again, because he's made it dead clear what he thinks of us and of compassion both and I hope he chokes on it, but I'm sorry you had to sit through that.

There's the whole Order thing for Beltane tomorrow and I need to spend tonight getting some details for arranged, but depending on how it goes tomorrow, we could meet up tomorrow night? Or Friday, Friday's probably safer to plan on. Friday night, let's you and me have a drink and play some chess and you can pretend I'm Percy and yell all the things you really want to yell at him, at me instead. Would that help? Or would it just be too painful?

Actually, I think that would be just about perfect. Friday it is.
