CADMUS Mulciber is the one playing both sides.


And again, how can I be so concerned about Death Eaters? Oh yeah, I think I consider them 'ours.'

I sorta laughed at the inclusion of Bellatrix--spying on her will yield nothing but I hope she finds out she's being spied on, just so we can watch her murder Corax.
I was intrigued by the omission of Crouch--I sorta feel like his ties to the Malfoys (and the Lestranges) are fairly evident.
And, of course, I'm worried about any scrutiny of the duel in Mysteries.

Everyone's allowed a missed cue every so often, I suppose? (Barty's ties to the Malfoys and to Dolohov, even.)

[capericious]

Yeah, that's true. Or maybe Mulciber trusts (or fears) Crouch more than the others, I guess.
Dolohov's message to himself after the duel in Mysteries is making me fret a lot. Those initials aren't that hard to crack.
(Also, I like that Corax is using his super-privileged access to the journals to... pursue gossip about Lucius and Rosa. Who died and made him Rita Skeeter? I mean, I guess maybe he wants blackmail material, although an old affair is probably not going to command a high price.)

Looks like not pinning Barty down didn't work out well for him.

Honestly, Corax seems to be a bit, well. "I'm looking for things that would let me eliminate some of the opposition and, while I'm at it, amusing schadenfreude/wank material" seems to be about right?

[capericious]

Hahaha oh, I rarely feel this, but right now I sorta love Bella and Barty. And, of course, the endless internecine squabbles of the Council.
And, yes, Corax is a bit, well, self-satisfied? And politically unfocused? And definitely over-reaching, especially when it comes to cunning plans. That may prove hazardous to his health.
I am intrigued by how a mandate from Voldemort doesn't actually command that much respect; I wonder what LV is playing at--does he hope that their feuding will keep Death Eaters from trying to assassinate him?

[kiya]

I'm pretty sure "mandate from Voldemort" is why no "AK to the back of the head", so it gets some respect?
