89th Devotion: Drumming up the Ranks

[favoritetraitor]

Due to recent departures in the City, the ARTEMIS Organization is currently seeking individuals with skills in research, investigation, and archival work to fill our ranks. We are an open minded group, willing to utilize any skill set whether in medicine, science, or magic, and even have a few entry level positions for those wishing to learn.

That being said, one of my employees, a Harold Saxon, hasn't shown up for work in some time yet his portrait hasn't shown up in the Hall of the Missing. His last post seemed a bit... concerning, so I felt it worth asking now that other personal matters have calmed down and I have the time. Would anyone happen to know of his whereabouts?

[Private to Harold Saxon]
Mr. Saxon, if you wished to tender your resignation, you simply had to let me know. But if you're unwell and wish to retain your job, we can work with you and give you a leave of absence.

Not recently no. Although I thought I caught a glimpse of him briefly over the network.

... did you say pigeon?

[old-lady-sukima.livejournal.com]

Uh... yes. Pigeons. As in, for breakfast.

Don't even ask, your guess is as good as mine.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

How very... eccentric. But thank you for the information, as distasteful as it is...

[old-lady-sukima.livejournal.com]

Mm, he said it was part of a disguise. Based on it all, it would be best to let him resurface when he chooses; I doubt he is undertaking this willingly.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

A disguise? Is this preplanned, then? Or could this be something curse related...

[old-lady-sukima.livejournal.com]

He didn't elaborate. He was behaving erratically in his own right, so I was inclined to believe the 'disguise' bit was a genuine lie. Why do you care? Are you an associate of his?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I'm his employer.

[old-lady-sukima.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, he has a job?! Pathetic, patheeeetic!

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Hardly pathetic. I consider him to be quite gifted and an asset to the company.

[old-lady-sukima.livejournal.com]

This must be some suspicious company you're running, to value a man like the Master...

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Well, I concede that it's difficult if not impossible to check a person's background before hiring them, but Mr. Saxon had never given me reason to doubt his usefulness as an employee.

... what does he do, exactly?
