The story of this blog was supposed to be about working in The Cooler on a very specific project…but the project has been two years since I was appointed, two years of it not happening. Two years of doing plenty of other stuff and not really getting to grips with this blog in any way. The most successfull part of this blog for me, is the ongoing dialogue with my commissioner through this troubled commission.
So to continue my story I will need to switch into charecter.
The King, The Castle Builder and the Magician (cont.)
The Magician has focused on making magic for many Patrons, travelling over many Kingdoms and making magic of all kinds. The Magician has promised magic here, there and everywhere and things are very busy, with the Magicians Illusion Emporium bursting with magic tricks at various stages of completion. Magic tricks for places in lands very far from here.
Then yesterday while the Magician had his back turned, this elusive commission has struck the magician firmly on the back of the head!
A phone call from The Castle Builder; How was the Magician, and was he busy? A conversation with The Castle Builder revealed that the papers were soon to be sent agreeing for work to be carried out by the Magician! The Magician explained that he was busy and his Illusion Emporium was fit to bursting and the magic estimated at 6 months to complete could not really be started till well after Lammas Day, making installation of the magic in the autumn before the winter sets in.
The Castle Builder has writen back to the Magician asking if nearly half the magic can be made and then installed during the summer?……The Magician has not replied yet, but instead attends to his journal. The Magian will reply saying yes he will do his utmost best to comply with the Castle Builders request. If the Magician’s best is not fast enough, then no doubt the Magian will describe it in his journal.
The Magician has been at this point several times with the Castle Builder and nothing has transpired. But this time the Magician feels circumstances require positive enthusiastic action. And the Magician will wait to see if the agreement has been worded more favourably and a little less harsh on a tired over stretched, but patient Magician.
