third memory sequence // DICTATED & ACTION

[seventeenth]

[ DICTATED ]

So what's the best place to hit up if I wanna go for a swim around here?

[ ACTION ]

[Meanwhile, out and about in the city, Desmond is engaging himself with a nice, long run through the city -- and over it rooftops, as well. He can be found pretty much anywhere but the castle today, down on the streets like a normal person as often as he up on the rooftops like some sort of wayward ninja.]

[He doesn't have his hoodie on for once, having finally traded it in for a plain white t-shirt.]

Comments

[assassino]

[Just a confused look.]

I have no idea what that means. Who is Johnson and Johnson?

[seventeenth]

They're a huge international company that makes medicine. The Templars have a different company that does the same thing. Theirs is the front for the entire order.

[assassino]

[That doesn't make complete sense to him, but he'll roll with it.]

So they masquerade as doctors, then?

[seventeenth]

Pretty much. Then they use the money they make from that to gain support from people who don't know any better.

[assassino]

[He feels like the Assassins could be doing more, but given that Desmond didn't react too favourably the last time...]

I see.

How do you plan to resist?

[seventeenth]

Well, first we have to stop the world from blowing up.

[assassino]

What would be so large as to make the Earth explode?

[seventeenth]

The sun.

[assassino]

How?

[seventeenth]

[At first Desmond want to snark something dumb and witty. Instead he gives Ezio a serious answer.] Solar flares. [Though he thinks he'll have to explain those, too.]

[assassino]

[Just a confused look. DESMOND........... WHY CAN'T YOU ANSWER SIMPLY...]

Do you mean to tell me that the Templars control the sun?

[seventeenth]

No, it's just shitty timing. Something the sun does every now and then. [He thinks, at least.]

[assassino]

The sun just occasionally destroys the world? How do you intend to stop it?

[seventeenth]

Occasionally. [Now you know what his life is like, Ezio.] But.... um, I don't exactly know how. There's a temple we're supposed to find, and the answer is in there.

[assassino]

And humans can command power over the sun with a temple?

[seventeenth]

I don't think we can control the sun. I think we're just supposed to hide from it.
