browsing the Daily Donut when in comes Death, shrieking shrilly (as usual)
about how insulted he is at being told he is "very far from" becoming a
Rising Hero. "Oh, come now, Death,' I say. "We all know you've been on the
verge of Rising Hero since 1996!"
Death simply spun on his heels and huffed out of the lounge. Well, the other
wizards and I exchanged silent, knowing glances. It just won't do to have
Death in a fuss like this. So ... I looked into the matter, and sure enough!
It looks like the implementation was a bit backwards.
So ... after a quick switcheroo, Death is now back to sulking silently rather
than storming about the lounge (thank heavens!)
Apologies to any of the rest of the populace who encountered confusion when
assessing their mortal level in the Sparkle A.G. The matter has now been
fixed. My deepest condolences to those who got the "on the verge of" message,
and will now be forced to cope with a "just beginning on the path to"
reality!
