I finally received a letter back from the Mage's Association? I sent that letter to them in August, it certainly took them a long time to-

Wait, I have a letter from the Mage's Association.

...Someone give me courage to open this. Aside from the concerns over whether or not it could explode, I'm really not certain what it's going to say. They addressed it to me by name, is that a good sign? That is a good sign, right?

...why on earth would you have written the Association?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

We've had trouble with each other in the past, I wanted to clear things up. They also have a fair amount of interest in the fact that the Holy Grail used to be under my temple and left some residue, and the fact that strange things tend to happen in my area due to my computer being an artifact of Magic.

Besides, I know that they exist and they know I know they exist. I don't like leaving these things alone.

[croibhristeoir]

I see. What was it you said to them? I don't know much of the Association past experience with my Master himself, but...

['I don't have a good impression of them from him' was left unsaid.]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Let's see. Please don't try to kill me or anyone under my protection again, that was in there along with the standard mentions that if it worked it would make them much worse off. I'm willing to work with them on serious matters, but for the most part I would rather that Fuyuki be left alone to its devices under the supervision of myself and the second owner, and I will take full responsibility if anything leaves Fuyuki to have a greater impact.

I said a lot of things. It was a fairly hefty letter.

[croibhristeoir]

Reasonable requests. However I worry 'reasonable' may not be a quality common among the Mage's Association.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Wish me luck. I'm going to open this letter.

Mage's Association? What's that, Issei?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Imagine that everyone who could use magic powers was bound by a set of rules, and that if you didn't agree to follow these rules the people with the rules would kill you. Now imagine that one of these rules is 'people without magic powers can't know about us'.

Mage's Association.

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

Like Harry potter, but with stricter rules?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Like Harry Potter only they kill you if you find out, and also they kill each other more often.

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

That sounds very counterproductive. I was not aware that you were part of it.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm not. I'm trying to deal with them in a manner so that I don't die.

*DDD8 Retasu is just. stuck to her computer right now. she is pretty sure what this means.*

Issei-san, what did they say...?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

...Well, I asked for a number of things like 'not killing me or my friends, it's a bad idea' and 'please leave Fuyuki alone, I'll take responsibility if anything community-related leaves the area'...

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

They wanted to kill you before!

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Yes, they did. They came very close.

[100thbrokendish.livejournal.com]

I thought that, after we came and got you out of there, then everything might go back to normal. Why are they sending you letters now?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I sent them one first. We've been on tense terms and they still know I exist. I don't think that I wanted to leave it up to chance.

Nn? Oh, that place again, huh?

Well, if somethin' goes wrong, there's still enough people who'd get revenge for you, right?

[onesnipe.livejournal.com]

Mage's Association? That sounds pretty special.

[hi issei, let's pretend we didn't have that other conversation]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Ah, it is. They're the most powerful organization of magi in my world, and it boils down 'follow their rules, be very very good at avoiding them, or risk getting killed'.

[onesnipe.livejournal.com]

Why'd you send them a letter?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

They tried to kill me once, it was an uneasy state of affairs between us.

[onesnipe.livejournal.com]

... For an organization with that description, I don't think a strongly penned letter's the most effective method to make your case known.

Have you opened it yet?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I don't want to see them in person again. It was unpleasant.

Yes, I have.
