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.]

That's easy for you to say. [Mr. Sexy Accent.]

[assassino]

Of course it is, I grew up speaking it. But go on, try again.

[secondchances]

[Sigh. All she wanted was waffles, now she's got a language lesson.]

Alright...

Va... bene.

[LIKE YOU MEAN IT, BROWN.]

Va bene.

[assassino]

[laugh]

Good enough for now.

[secondchances]

That's the polite way of saying "please stop butchering my language, it hurts my soul."

[assassino]

You think me to be that cruel? [grin] Eat your waffles.

[secondchances]

Gladly. Waffles belong in my mouth. [Shoving the rest of her waffle into that black hole. Is most delicate and elegant lady in Paradisa.]

[assassino]

[You do that, Steph. Meanwhile, Ezio's gonna pour himself some wine.]

[secondchances]

[Watchin'.]

Oorn't--[hold up, don't talk with your mouth full.]--you weren't kidding, huh? Wine all the time.

[assassino]

Too much water leads to disease, and milk is uncommon. Wine and beer are healthier.

[secondchances]

You're going to make a lot of friends with that attitude here.

[assassino]

Attitude? I thought it was common sense.

[secondchances]

For you. Where I'm from, you're not legally allowed to have alcohol until you're 21. Doesn't stop people from drinking, of course.

[assassino]

[the mind is boggled.]

That is absurd. Even children drink wine, in my time, though it is cut with other drinks.

[secondchances]

It cuts down on the number of drunks doing things in fountains.

[assassino]

Or what is drunk to you is life for us.

[Laugh. No. He's joking.]

[secondchances]

If the castle ends up sending us to Italy, I guess I'll know what to expect.

[assassino]

I hope it sends us to Italia. I still want to see it in the modern day. Perhaps see my old villa, see if it has survived all the years.

[secondchances]

Maybe your great great great great great grandkids kept it. That would be neat.

[assassino]

[He meant the one in Firenze, but he supposes Steph couldn't have known that.]

Claudia is more likely to have children than I am, so they would not be Auditore, and my uncle is too old. If it were to stay in the family, the responsibility would fall to me.

[secondchances]

[Ezio, she has no idea what the fuck you're talking about most of the time.]

Your brothers wouldn't be interested?

[assassino]

[Here comes awkward.]

Ah, no. They died ten years ago.

[secondchances]

[... oh... yeah, that's... awkward. Both brothers, ten years ago?]

Sorry, I--I'm sorry.

[assassino]

You don't need to apologize. You didn't know.

[secondchances]

[Still, an apologetic smile.]

Subject change?
