[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.]

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.

[assassino]

Are all American women so fickle?

[secondchances]

What, you haven't met enough to figure that out yourself?

[assassino]

Ha, I suppose that's true.

[teases :(]

[secondchances]

And besides, are you saying women from your time and place aren't? People in general are fickle, y'know.

[assassino]

Yes, but it's a different sort of fickle. You American women have different concerns than a Florentine woman, or a Venetian woman.

[secondchances]

Which are what, finding a husband and popping out some kids?

[assassino]

[Eyebrow raise. What is your history class teaching you, girl?]

Many women want that, yes, but that's a given for them, not a concern.

[secondchances]

Plague?

[assassino]

What do they teach you in these history classes?

[secondchances]

Not enough, apparently...

And lots of stuff that goes in one ear and out the other. To be fair, I never thought I'd need to use it.

[assassino]

That or American scholars know precious little about us.
