As of 4 December 2009, years of anticipation and foreshadowing have finally given way to -- well -- something, as Meji Hinadori and Senilis have had their long-anticipated meeting of the minds, so to speak. She ("they"?) and the Amraphels are currently sprinting for the exit from Senilis' chamber -- more or less, anyway, as Meji herself is still sufficiently dazed from whatever happened that she's mainly being dragged along by Jon. Pursuit by Silman and the other elves has been at least temporarily delayed by the vengeful Paedagogusi Chicanery, Kawaii and Nookie, who didn't take well to the Binding the elves threw at them earlier.

We've learned a few things from Nookie and Chicanery en route to this exciting state of affairs. Senilis apparently woke up in a "cranky" state of mind, reasonably enough, and his vaporous form careened around for a while before settling on/in Meji. Needless to say, the elves aren't very happy with this development, having hoped to absorb Senilis themselves (and as a backup, having tried to coax Sara into stepping up), and in particular, having no interest in having another Errant out there with god-like powers. However, Nookie has explained that the elves are "hard coded" not to be able to "interact" with Senilis like that, and Sara -- well, she vowed bloody revenge on the elves if she was the one who got possessed, so it's probably just as well she didn't. Chicanery and Nookie also say there's "not much left" of Senilis; the meaning of this little comment isn't clear yet.

Meanwhile, Sarine is apparently still being held captive by the elves who didn't go into Senilis' chamber, although there are hints that a rendezvous is coming. And what of Anita, Ianilis, the Tsuirakuans and so on? We don't know, but whatever is about to happen, it's likely to be messy.

In news of the wiki itself, almost all the pages seem to be displaying archived episodes properly now, although there might be some stragglers. And of course, Errant Road is still chock full of adventures and curious characters.
