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.]

'Hmmm, no. It was rather small.'

[assassino]

How did it work, then? What would a round key fit into?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'Depends. Most fit into a round slot, something shaped like them. Others can go in sideways.'

[assassino]

I don't see how a round object can be turned sideways.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'Spherical, then? I assume at that point it's more than a key. As for where it would go, a rounded slot is my best guess. However, I can't say I've ever hear of a spherical key. Are you sure it isn't a mechanism holding a key?'

[assassino]

If it is, I haven't been able to open it.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'Are you sure it's a key?'

[assassino]

It's... a theory. [He can't admit to knowing much more than that.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'Sounds like a guess to me.

I'd like to take a look at it, however I can assume you either are unwilling to do so, or you don't currently have the item in question.'

[assassino]

I do have it.

[Scowl.]

Wait a moment. Someone else is interested, as well... I will find my friend and sister and we will all look at it together.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'If you see fit to include me, I'd be rather interested and willing to lend my assistance.'

[assassino]

Va bene. I'll be in contact... though I did not get your name, last time we spoke.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'Colonel Jade Curtiss.'

[assassino]

Colonel. [Guess who is from a time and place where colonel doesn't exist as a rank, and thus thinks it's your name?] Thank you.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

'My pleasure. Though I don't think I got yours either.'

[It might as well be his name sometimes.]
