[ When Bartimaeus is — at some point, presumably — out of the dungeon, he'll receive a terribly mysterious written invitation to meet on the edge of the Gallows, where a small decrepit wooden boat has been moored. A stranger (equally terrible, equally mysterious) may already be waiting.
Bartimaeus doesn't have to actually follow the invitation. Not intentionally. Should he ignore or otherwise attempt to circumvent its summons, a chain of coincidences (terrible, mysterious, you get it by now) and suspiciously well-timed accidents will load the dice to get him there roughly on time.
The invitation is beautifully calligraphed, and smells like roses. It also smells like roses in the boat, owing to the enormous quantity of petals strewn within. They seem, on closer inspection, to be cheaper flowers doused in bad perfume. There are also several candles burning, which is definitely a fire hazard, but at least a self-correcting one.
OOC Note: Gareth is played by Ema. Feel free to play out a thread, handwave things, or ignore it entirely, but check with each other first! ❤ ]
a very mysterious invitation
