The random article:
They were immediately caught up in the complete chaos filling the huge lobby from
wall to wall. Everywhere Owen looked there were desks and tables buried under
piles of paper and people running back and forth between the desks as though
their lives depended on it. This being Mistport, thought Owen, perhaps they did.
A large crowd of all sorts and types took up all the remaining space, shouting
at the people behind the desks and each other with equal volume and tenacity.
The walls were covered with overlapping wanted posters, and up on the ceiling
someone had painted a series of large murals depicting the human body in some
detail, and the best places to hit it with large pointed things.
The din was deafening, the air was hot and sweaty, and the smell was
indescribable. Hazel ploughed right through the middle of it, making liberal use
of her fists and elbows to get some room. Apparently this was common practice,
or at least common enough that only a few people reached for their swords, and
by then she was already gone. Owen stuck close behind her, muttering polite
apologies that no one heard and glaring at anyone who didn$prime;t put their sword
away fast enough. It was a good glare; Owen had had lots of chances to practice
and perfect it since he$prime;d come to Mistworld. It was a carefully balanced mixture
of rage and imminent violence, with just a touch of outright insanity. By the
time he was halfway through the crowd, people were backing away to avoid him.
He ended up at Hazel$prime;s side in front of a desk at the rear of the room. It had
two trays, marked «In» and «Urgent,» and there were piles of paper everywhere.
Much of it had the rough look of cheap recycling, and Owen was intrigued to note
that most of them were covered with handwritten texts. In the circles he was
used to moving in, handwritten notes tended to be few and far between, being
usually reserved for spies and lovers.
