Dear Richard Darkspring.

I know we have yet to meet, however I have a strong feeling we have met previously. I've read some of you're previous logs / messages within the Arcanium Society, and without meaning to come across as suspicious, paranoid, or even as far as to say obsessed, I noticed these small yet significant (well, to me and my theory anyway) facts.

While reading some of your studies on magic, it is noted that in strange occourances during your writings you have broken into old English or 'strings' of words which aren't common for those people of this age. An example of this would be by reading your deductions and comments on Dr William Kains 101 lectures. I find it rather compelling to read your work as it, like Dr William Kain seems and or appears to be taking 'slang', writing styles and words used by different cultures and centuries.

As well as this rather interesting deduction of your linguistic and writing charisma, It appears your look physically has left me with a rather strong feeling that we have met before several times in the past.

I hope my intruision and enquiry has not caused any form of disturbance, and it is my hope that this will hold a similar conclusion to a similar circumstance: my employer Dr William Kain.

Many thanks,

Val Elwood.

i am not disturbed , not by your enquiries at any rate .

Although if you wish to discuss this further i would require that we do so in private

Dr Richard Darkspring

Understood, at our next convieniance we will discuss this if you are available professor.

You'll be interested to know that a Dwarf who appears to have built a Time Machine that accidently went Trans-Dimensional as well as back in time has appeared in the Arcanium society, most of his technology is victorian based / steam powered, a fusion between mechanical and electronic / magical, however he proclaims to come from a time of technological advancement, it may be worth discussing with him, he's an interesting fellow, however at the best of times can be described as 'Grumpy'. Unlike myself, he chooses not to hide his Dwarven identity, so he is pretty easy to notice
