Yudhisthira,

Hi! Hello. I am glad your attention is drawn to the news boards, if only to acknowledge Gerald's failure. I am very sorry to hear about the sudden lapse in consciousness that very clearly explains and justifies your total lack of acknowledgement the last time I addressed you. Since I am sure my last missive declaring intent to serve as Reckoning Candidate against the Swamp Witch went missing, I thought I'd send a reminder.

I would like to reiterate my interest in Reckoning to join the Conclave. I believe I am of greater merit, and I am far more capable than Gerald. You'll notice I'm also far more willing to take risks to achieve great things, or to lose great things. I prefer focusing on the achieving great things part, myself. The latter only happens sometimes, and if you average out the occurances over the last ten minutes, it hasn't happened at all. Let us focus solely on the last ten minutes rather than anything prior.

In addition, I am the world's current foremost expert on time magic. Please see my list of qualifications attached below.

Eagerly awaiting your response,
Tesha Young
