be strong, woman, be strong

Because conflict is good.
And when incandescens is asked why she has so tackily appalling a book as Rollo Ahmed's The Black Art (introduction by Dennis Wheatley) on her shelf, she says, because it provides helpful inspiration in cases like this. This is just precisely the sort of source I need when it comes to (inaccurate) legends of witchcraft and ghost stories and werewolves and nasty, nasty stuff, with the author shaking his head and throwing up his hands in great and liberal detail.
Speaking (as we weren't) of Konzen in the bath, I'm now getting vague urges to write what would actually happen if some of those characters walked in on him in the bath. Well, no, I know that some of them wouldn't without major violence to the character, and in fact the whole point was that he never actually realised that he had temporarily become a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but . . . eh.

Must... not... betray... country...)
