Kate’s doing a book-signing at The Forbidden Planet in London next week!  

NO NO NO I’m not gonna spend about 100€ for a day-trip to London, just to have a signed copy of “The Minority Council”! 

“I believe it’s where a war which could destroy this city is about to break out. Really, Mr Mayor, I would be happier explaining the details in person; where can I meet you?”
I looked at Oda, still sleeping in the bed. “I’m a little tied up here…”
“Shall I reiterate the part about a war which could destroy the city, or are you genuinely handcuffed to a brick wall and unable to secure your own speedy release by the many tools available to you.”
I pinched the bridge of my nose. The pain helped a little. “Ms Dees,” I said, “when I was lumbered with the job of being mystic protector of this city, I could have sworn I was told that the Aldermen were on my side.”
