Something has gone terribly wrong? (December 9th)
[You are just minding your own business, walking on the beach, or through the wood, when you hear what is certainly an unfamiliar laugh. If you look around, you'll soon attach it to... van Zieks? No, this can't be him. He's smiling. He's barefoot and covered in dirt. His hair isn't immaculately combed back and he's simply wearing a loose cotton shirt with his tight lawyer pants, though he does have a sword now hanging at his waist, which is new. This cannot be van Zieks. Even the cadence of his voice is lacking his normal ominous grit, but the voice is certainly his otherwise.]


Oh, come here! I have something to show you.
[Seriously who the hell is this and what did he do with the real van Zieks???]

Nevermind, Uncle has the Depression Again (December 10th)
[The following day, van Zieks is back in his austere best, looking more glowery and somber than ever before, like he's making up for the time he lost yesterday. You may find him at his usual haunt in the darkest corner of the winery, OR if you're wandering around in the woods, you might find him surveying the plot of land on his farm, or rather, the chaos that the him of the day before wreaked, which is to say, something was done to the plots, but it's hard to tell if it was anything constructive because they're upturned earth everywhere. Van Zieks is leaning heavily on the shovel he's holding, looking tired.]

Let me know if you have something specific in mind for bingo

[ Can it be? That this is a first time in all of the centuries—beyond the time he had tasted a certain unfortunate god's bad cooking—that he, He Xuan, one of the Great Calamities, Black Water Sinks Ships...is actually unnerved? ]

...Who are you?

[ And what have you done to the real lawyer. Freaking bodysnatcher or soulswapper. ]

[ ...that is exactly it. This is him right now. ]

...Barok van Fake.

[ Wow. Even like this, He Xuan is hella rude... ]

[ Because your face is why. This is not even an exaggeration, crying. ]

...I have evidence.

[ Beat. ]

It's the weird smile that was on your face a moment ago and the deranged laugh.

Strange how it was such a quick turnaround...

[ That's him. Rude McRudeperson The Rudest. ]

...Most of the time, no.
