[Filtered from Fletcher]
I know my timing is crap, but I don't really care. I've had more important things to worry about lately than whatever new puzzles have popped up.

First of all, I want to thank everyone for everything they did to help out Fletcher. I don't usually do this, but I know he wants me to make sure I did that, even if he can't see this right now.

It's probably pretty selfish of me, but I've got another request to make. Fletcher's turning eleven Friday. I was hoping we'd be out of this dump before then, but that's not looking likely. So I was thinking of having a party somewhere, maybe at the restaurant in the Bryant Park Hotel. I'm hoping it'll be calm enough by then that some people could help with food and stuff. I'm not much of a cook.

But anything else, if anyone has anything they need help with, speak up. I'm an alchemist, I can probably fix anything you've got that needs it, and pretty much anything that doesn't involve anything alive, aside from plants. I've got some debts to repay.

But I want to congratulate the bastards that did this. They've beaten the man that killed my father as the person I hate the most. That's only because that fat asshole's already dead.

A couple of guys decided all the problems here were all our fault, and decided to take it out on him. I got a piece of one of them, but we're trying to find the other guy.

They cornered him in an elevator and beat him up.

Can you describe him? I'll keep an eye out.

I... still owe him for helping with the crabs.

...Zero?

We... walked in the park a while back. He did... something to the trees to hold down the crabs.

Mask, cape, likes the sound of his own voice.

Of course he did. And he didn't tell me that he'd had that little encounter.

Never heard of him.

I'm not lying. And I don't forget my experiences with magic without materia. He drew a symbol in the ground and the trees came alive.

I don't mean it that way. He leaves things like that out all the time. He doesn't like making me worry about him.

It's a powerful ability. Very useful... so why would you worry?

It's alchemy, you change the elemental structure of almost anything. Yes, it's powerful.

But I worry because he's ten. Yes, he can use it, but for how long? It's physically exhausting, and even moreso for him because of his body structure. And he's just not cut out for fighting in general.

Fletcher's... a scientist? I never knew.

Maybe you should organize a work/study schedule, to prevent the exhaustion. Take it in portions.

While we're working it's one thing, but in a fight, it's just not something he's ready for.

No need for that.

Wouldn't miss it, Russell. That sounds like a great idea. I can bring a few packs of cookies I have in my stash.

Was Boriane able to help Fletcher out, then?

Sounds good. Giselle says she's making the cake.

Yeah, she took care of him, no problem.

If her cakes are anywhere near as good as her cookies, that'll be a treat!

Great. Hey, while I'm here, what kinds of things does Fletcher like? I have a huge collection of things, including toys, but I'm not really an expert on what excites an 11-year-old. Any suggestions?
