Darksten smiles as the Neptune Bomb appears in his hands. He quickly stows it away and makes his entrance, hoping to soon put his new item to use.

Receiving a letter of recommendation in the lottery, Erik makes a list of the major factions. Hinkwells or Shadeaux? Lyren and Nuitan seemed alright, but the rest of those families were all rich snobs with no care for the common people. Don't think I've ever dealt with the Guild of Invision. I guess they make their potions available to anyone at reasonable prices, but the Crimson Crown... I don't trust them. Dunno anything about the Ji Pei, really. Wolfgang are thugs. Ziegfried are necromancers, and after what happened to Jules I want nothing to do with that.

Bonapartes... Hmm, maybe if I impress them, I can get them to leave the Magpie alone.

Erik uses his letter to get Bonaparte reputation.

Thanks Sandy, sorry I didn't post what rep I wanted earlier, my internet's been out.
