(("a subtly malign intelligence that manifests as a Hat" *diiies* ))
Derkhan didn't know that the civic government of New Crobuzon actually maintained diplomatic relations with Hell. She hadn't known about the Weaver, either, until she'd met it.
A pity. Her response to Elric might've been differently interesting.
What she did say was: "I keep hearing about this Hat, and nothing very good, either. What you say about a nexus of worlds does fit what I'm seeing and hearing thus far, only I've no idea how that would or could work."
She locked her fingers together and flexed the interlaced hands, looking down at her palms contemplatively.
"Looking into how cities function, how systems function, is part of what I do, in a way." Part of what you do as an art critic, Derkhan? "I'm a journalist."
Oh, Derkhan, do you really want to explain newspapers to Elric? Underground newspapers, legitimate newspapers, leaflets, broadsheets, anything? Do you want to explain the printing press? Your mun is so peeved with you right now.
"My name," she said to him, "is Derkhan Blueday."
Because the outlandish albino warrior is sure to be a regular reader of the Beacon, isn't he, Dee? Their circulation recently expanded to cross the multiverse!
