[GRIAN]
Mumbo! Just the neurotic I was looking for- Does the name Pix R mean anything to you?

[MUMBO]
(Barely awake) Grian, it's eight in the morning. (Yawn) At least let me make tea before you start with the interrogation.

[GRIAN]
That’s what I thought you’d say. Water’s already boiling.

(Water pours)

(Begrudgingly) Here. Osmanthus green, just for you. Now answer my question.

[MUMBO]
Never heard that name in my life. Little odd, isn't it? (Sipping hot tea) Pix. Strange name. Why, does it mean anything to you?

[GRIAN]
Not yet. But I think it did to Etho, and I want to know what. So if you find any mentions of a Pix, anything about supernatural knowledge of people's entire lives, any obituary clippings archived in weird places, pass them along to me, if you don't mind? I had Scar working on it a few months ago, but I think he gave-

Notes:

i am not russian and not an expert on russian history! i did my best at research but im sure there are some inaccuracies there jgdhsljkfd please forgive me. i AM however a working journalist so those parts should be mostly accurate.

samara is a large city in southwestern russia, i chose it as the setting because of the name's similarity with samarra, iraq, known (among many other things) for the story of the appointment in samarra.

i used the name sloy instead of zloy because he mentioned on his tumblr that zloy was his 'edgelord teenage' name and hes been switching to using both. also hey sloy if you find this fic somehow i love the recap hope this isnt too weird have a wonderful day sir o7

thank you for reading! and if you enjoyed... perhaps consider leaving a comment?

ALSO, the day after posting this, the podfic for elephant's foot just went up, so perhaps consider giving that a listen as well!
