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.]

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?

[assassino]

Please.

Anyhow, Monteriggioni is a valuable fortress. I doubt it would be destroyed -- only captured. It should still stand, though maybe it has become another family's seat.

The villa in Firenze was nice, but its survival is less likely.

[secondchances]

[Very happy to steer away from depressing waters.]

If we end up in Italy, and your stuff is still around, you're playing tour guide.

[assassino]

Gladly.

If the buildings still stand, I wonder if the new residents have discovered the crypt, or the offices? They were well hidden.

[secondchances]

Crypt?

[assassino]

A tomb?

[secondchances]

You had one? A hidden one?

[assassino]

Do your noble families not have family crypts?

[secondchances]

Umm... not so much?

[assassino]

Strange.

But yes, ours is hidden below our estate.

[secondchances]

Is it big? [This is the question after the ARE THERE ZOMBIES? one that she wisely decided to skip over.]

[assassino]

Of course. It's roughly half the size of the lobby, I suppose.

[secondchances]

Fancy. I don't know if we can hang out, given your prejudice against frozen foods and possession of giant crypts.

[assassino]

I am too old-fashioned for a girl like you?

[here have a melodramatic reaction:

]

[secondchances]

[What a silly guy.] A bit, yeah. I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to find out like this.
