>>>>>[Quite honestly, arcanologist is just another made-up term used by (and no offense to you, dear Bullish Decker) people who don't want to rattle off a whole title. An arcanologist, as the term is used, is usually an archeologist as stated above with an in-depth background of magical theory, thaumaturgy, and basic symbol recognition along with a heavy dose of mythology and comparative religion under their belt. And no, the arcanologist doesn't have to be Awakened or a mage in order to qualify - the field is mainly theoretical in nature, with time mostly spent decrypting old riddles and trying to figure out if that human-like symbol on the wall is a representation of a powerful god or just some primitive's version of "for a good time call Thog." ]<<<<<

Also, I could use some more eyes in the Houston area; if you are interested. As for the Arcanoarcheologist, I don't claim to know much about that particular specialist. However, I have noticed the DF has been recruiting heavily for those with unusual skill sets.]<<<<<<

     Anyway, as for the Arcanoarcheologist bit, that's kind of what I was thinking. Just wasn't sure if that was a real field of study or not.  Not too much on the ol' electron highway about it.  But the DF is definitely stirring here in the Emerald City.]<<<<<

Even the tangentials are worth avoiding.  Pretty sure I hooked up with one of those legit in the front, dirty in the back mechanics back east and the whole thing almost blew up in my face.]<<<<<

>>>>>>[I would not say business has been good, but there is some business that just can't be put off. I dont actually get out into the field, as it were, much anymore; but sometimes there are matters serious enough that require my personal attention. Thankfully I was able to resolve the situation without too much damage and bloodshed, both to myself and my associates. Still, it's good to get out and keep the edge sharp, despite less than ideal circumstances]<<<<<<

I don't think there really is any one right way when it comes down to it. It's one of those things that can't be summed up in a neat little saying or rule. I think we're all just doing our best to die with as few regrets as possible.]<<<<<<

However, all things being equal, I have only had one relationship end with literal pyrotechnics. And truth be told, I would rather face a block of plastique than a woman scorned; it's safer.]<<<<

And.. that reminds me. I gotta deal with this guy who makes snuff trids whose for a vixen I know and like, even got a couple trolls sniffing around to try and catch her. I'm going to have some fun with the guy, anyone wants to help? Already told him to back off and leave Vicky alone, but he isn't getting the hint so now it's time to get nasty.

There's a bit of loose change in it for ya.]<<<<<
