[Zatanna appears on screen looking...well, definitely better than the last time she had to make this announcement, that was for certain.  It would have been a stretch to call her 'happy' by any definition, but not only did she not show any signs of having been crying...she was even smiling.  Weakly.  Very weakly.]

[Her eyes also didn't seem to quite look at the camera as she spoke.]

Typical.  Showed up just long enough to suffer through summer, and then leaves before we get to have any more fun this winter.

[She knew Jack would appreciate her trying to make a joke out of things.  No matter how much she really didn't feel like joking.]

Hopefully, we won't get a rush of new faces anytime soon, because it'll just be me running things around here again for a while.  I might be magical, but even I'm not that good.

No problem!

[ Having a reason to network a bit more for her temp agency was hardly a drawback. ]

Thanks. Again.

{And though she did trust Sonja, she still had to ask:]

Have you worked with them much before?

Sooort of?

I tapped Odyni for some help with my new years party, although that wound up being... poorly timed.

Also full disclosure, I'm not sure if she likes me very much.

I've gotten a bit friendlier with individual merchants since then though. I think.

[She tried not to wince. Really, she did. But her poker face was far from full strength at the moment, and thus...there was a wince.]

Maybe...I should keep up with Odyni myself.

{Their relationship was at least amicable to the point of the occasional pleasantries.]

What about the other Guilds? How are you with any of their leaders?

[ Yeah... probably best that got put out there first, rather than immaturely hiding it and having it blow up on her later. Still, the bandage hurt being pulled off like that. ]

I think Rosyn and I get along well.

I'm also on good terms with the college.

[ She... was still formulating her opinion on Eliyen. ]

[Zatanna's bank account very gratefully accepts your honesty, Sonja.]

Okay, that could work.

We're not as closely tied to them, but I have been working on a sort of inter-Guild information sheet. Nothing overly invasive. Mostly anything they're willing to share with everyone else themselves. That probably takes up a good chunk of my day because of how many people it involves tracking down.

[ Information sheet was one of her top five favorite phrases. ]

I can do that! Forward recon is my specialty.

[backwordscompatible]

Great!

[She was honestly more relieved they came up with a solution than someone else taking over one of her more time-consuming duties.]

Stop by the Center when you get a chance. No rush. I can give you the paperwork and a quick run-down on my last couple visits.
