iv λ knowledge

[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.]

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.

I have only been here for a month.

He would be in the library, correct?

Ahhh, very fresh blood then, you poor bastard.

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

I've enjoyed myself so far.

Does one need to have connections to get in?

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.

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.

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

Yeah, yeah, don't mention it.

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...

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.

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

No way, definitely not an angel.

[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?

[Stupid angel, SAYING THINGS]

...Yeeees?

[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?

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]

[Ignoring that last question, mostly because he himself is a barrel full of questions... and because now he's suddenly hyper-aware that this Biblical stuff could be more than just stories in a book. If it's true, he's talking to the Serpent himself!]

I see. But is there a possibility that one Apple give different knowledge than the first? Why would God make many if they all served the same purpose?

[Isn't it fun when life comes and slaps you in the face, Ezio?]

I dunno, I mean, it's the sort of dickish thing He'd do. But I just did the tempting, I didn't test the chemical composition of the apples or anything. It was a quick get up there and do the job sort of deal.

[Not at all :(]

What if people were naturally tempted by it? Or maybe after you tempted Eve, others remained tempting.

Someone taking my job you mean?

Did someone mention that to you? Because I worked really bloody hard for that job, there better not be some snort nosed git trying to run my show.

No! No. Of course not. I just meant that the apples could have taken after you.

[Or something :| How do I appease the Serpent?]

I guess in all the excitement that...could have happened?

[With booze]

[Considering "hmm."]

So if that were true, would the Apples be dangerous?

Well, they wouldn't be harmless, that's for sure.

I see. And would they look like the apples that men cultivate?

Yeah, sure, I mean. They don't look special. It's not like they have 'Knowledge Fruit' tattooed on them or anything.
