Today I spent most of my time doing the same thing I did yesterday.

Speaking of, a couple people showed up with a bunch of nuclear waste today. All purified, powdered, and suppressed, exactly how I asked for it. I took the plant manipulators I have been training and had them get to work without major issue. One of them did make a minor mistake, but with the mages there to suppress all of the poison it was resolved easily.

When I asked why they didn't just constantly suppress all of it they told me that suppressing the poison is an active process that requires mana, not a lot but it can add up quickly. In addition to that, there are two good reasons not to. The first is that the poison disappears on its own, albeit very slowly, suppressing it prevents that from happening entirely. The second is that gathering it all up, which they would have to do if they wanted to try to suppress it, makes the poison exponentially more potent, which makes it much harder to suppress.

Long story short, they tried, it failed. Now they are paying us to destroy it.

Other than that I spent my downtime taking part in a festival that Whisperer’s replacement organized with Tiddol. At one point I would have thought that everyone showing me deference would have been really weird, and definitely would have gotten in the way of me enjoying a festival. Now, however, I find myself enjoying this kind of attention. In small doses, of course, it gets annoying when people are constantly acting subservient, but it is nice from time to time. Of course, if Tiddol or Azrezel (with a few noteworthy exceptions) were to act like that I would probably slap them.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
