When "Cadrienne" stepped outside, what she said was that there was something interesting about the magical books the party had recovered, and she wanted to inspect them by moonlight. They let her walk out the door with all of the magical books they had brought back from the Academy, including the Horrus Arkadanian that Arcade had dragged them all down there to retrieve in the first place.2. Alix was arrogant, handsome, rich, selfish, whimsical, petulant, flashy, clever, irritating, irritable, stylish, childish, and had a bad case of "oooh spank me, please." And we loved him, and we hated him, and trying to keep him in line was a big part of what made the Defenders what they were, as was making use of the phenomenally sly strategies and manipulations he often came up with. I don't think his player would be upset by any of these characterizations. He worked awfully hard to be as wonderfully annoying as he was, and I'm sure was well aware of what he was doing to us. (Arcade always claimed it was the staff of withering that made his hair go gray, but we all know the truth.)It was no surprise he came to a bad end after all the lawfuls left. Without authority to flout, he was forced to play that character off the laws of the universe itself. If Malachite, or some of the other newer Defenders, had shown up sooner, we might still have our own dear golden haired black sheep boy. (Assuming Malachite and Alix both surived the engagement.) But in the time of predominantly chaotics, there was no anchor for him, no straight man.If he is lurking out there, I hope he knows we only abuse his memory 'cause they're some of the most scintillating memories we've got. I miss him awfully.</blockquote>
