iv λ knowledge

[assassino]

[Ezio is about to bust out the most intense filter work of his life. He has never done a complicated filter before, and he needs to do this right.]


----- Inventors, technology experts, mechanics, but barring those who seek power -----

[he clears his throat, then in that thick Italian accent:]

Hello... my name is Ezio Auditore, and I seek an inventor or mechanic or... esperto of some kind. I have obtained an object of great importance, but I do not know what it does, or what it is capable of.

But I need someone I can trust, someone with the right... sensitivities for this object.





-----Historians and Religious people, barring Lucrezia Borgia -----

[Still more thick Italian accent:]

I seek information about Pope Alexander VI.

[And, with that done, you can find him in the kitchen, contemplating the microwave.]

[Oh, if only you knew, Ezio, if only you knew]

Well, he did cause quite a big of ruckuss during his time, but almost everything he did was for the benefit of himself and his family. Guess inheritance is a good a motive for murder as any.

[assassino]

Rodrigo Borgia did not have any other alliances he would have worked for?

[onlyanapple]

Sure, he had his finger in more than a few pies.

[assassino]

I need names.

[onlyanapple]

I have a fairly good memory, but five hundred years is pushing it, even by my standards.

[assassino]

[Oh, another one of you immortal types. He could choke you, Crowley :( Don't tease him with information like that. Mildly frustrated:]

Do you know anyone that would?

[onlyanapple]

[But, Ezio, it's one of his favourite things to do]

I dunno. The angel, maybe. He's really pedantic about that sort of thing.

[assassino]

[So cruel, Crowley.]

Angel?

[Curiosity strikes!]

[onlyanapple]

His name's Aziraphale.

[assassino]

An angel named Aziraphale?

[Considering.]

I've never heard of him.

[onlyanapple]

They like names with far too many syllables for their own good, angels.

No? He's been around here a while. Spends most of his time amongst the books.

[assassino]

I have only been here for a month.

He would be in the library, correct?

[onlyanapple]

Ahhh, very fresh blood then, you poor bastard.

Nah, he has a bookshop in town. Good luck getting in, though.

[assassino]

I've enjoyed myself so far.

Does one need to have connections to get in?

[onlyanapple]

That's because nothing horrible's happened here since you arrived yet.

Those won't even help you, you're better off just filtering to the loser and hoping he sees it.

[assassino]

The castle turned into a modern day city. It wasn't horrible, but it was a bit... intense.

[Hmm.]

I shall see what I can do. Thank you, signore.

[onlyanapple]

That's pretty tame, really. No fires, no monsters, no shadowy things trying to murder us all.

Yeah, yeah, don't mention it.

[assassino]

Wait. Do you mean to say this place is often closer to the Inferno than Paradiso?

Also, why does an Angel run a book shop? It seems like such a mortal pursuit...

[onlyanapple]

Nah, I'd say it's more like Earth, only with crazy fucking magic stuff going on. Hell isn't this creative and Heaven isn't this interesting.

Tell me about it, it's a hobby, really. I think he's getting a bit odd in his old age.

[assassino]

... Are you an Angel as well, then?

[onlyanapple]

No way, definitely not an angel.

[assassino]

[time fudging bullshit because Ezio has now talked to Aziraphale, too. Let's say Ezio got distracted here and wandered off to talk to others and then suddenly came back. And sounds eager.]

Are you Crowley?

[onlyanapple]

[Stupid angel, SAYING THINGS]

...Yeeees?

Crowley

[assassino]

[Hurried:]

Aziraphale said that the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden had more than just one apple on it. What would happen if an apple had been taken from the Garden by man before God closed it off?

This guy

[onlyanapple]

I'm going to take away that angel's books.

Not a lot, I mean, humankind would already have the Knowledge of Good and Evil after Adam and Eve got it. It became one of those...genetic things. Of whatever. That or they'd get a double dose.

I didn't really get the chance to try it out a second time. What with that whole 'putting enmity between you and woman and her offspring' and all that. People just didn't trust talking snakes after that.

...Why, is there supposed to be an apple floating around out there? [Trying not to sound as disturbed as he is by that prospect]
