[Crystal] Book quest

[kartereo]

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Waver Velvet
RECIPIENT: Anyone with access
WHAT: Start of an assignment
WHEN: Right now
WHERE: Gallows
NOTES: Potential mention of blood magic in comments

If any of you were inclined or in need of hiding books within the Gallows itself, where would you end up storing them?

[Waver's voice and demeanor are straight forward and without artifice. There's a hint of irritation as he continues to speak.]

It seems that there are a number of missing books from the library removed at some point prior to the Inquisition's move-in, and finding them would be useful, even if they're never used again.

Old chests or something. Probably some sodding fool borrowed them and then got the piss end of something before he could give them back.

[Yes, everyone. Oghren can be helpful sometimes!]

Or you could check where people take a piss.

[Okay but he's still gross.]

[kartereo]

You say the word piss a fair amount, huh?

[Waver just states it flatly. This is an observation, not snark.]

But chests, got it. Wouldn't be the first time I've had to get into one.

[wardeneructate]

I say sodding, tits, nipples, and ass a lot too. Got a whole array of colorful words for yeh.

[He laughs a bit.]

You could find yourself a rogue. They're good at that lockpicking thing. And getting into rooms they don't belong in.

[kartereo]

Twice in two sentences is rather impressive, that was all I was saying.

[But enough of that.]

Well, I'll look into hiring one after I exhaust myself. No point in it if this is a simple find. Or if I can get the thing to open with a pry bar.

[wardeneructate]

With all that magic stuff out there you'd be better off with a rogue. Before something explodes on you and you become a rat or something.

[He's got a creative imagination...]

Otherwise I'd jump in there to tell you I'd smash them open for you with my axe. But the tits of my Ancestors would rather I not get blasted into them.

[kartereo]

I can take a risk with magic. And if I do become a rat, well, it'll make at least one person laugh.

[Then Rider can go find someone to fix that.]

Don't worry about not helping. The idea is more than enough for me.

[wardeneructate]

...It was a good one?

[HOLD UP. NO ONE TELLS HIM HE HAS GOOD IDEAS.]

[kartereo]

Yes?

[He tilts his head slightly.]

You have to interrogate your own suggestions?

[wardeneructate]

[He can't see him so he just mumbles.]

People don't usually say so...

[kartereo]

Well, now things have change. Even if it is temporary.

[wardeneructate]

Heh. You aren't aware I'm the one without the brains then. That's a new one. Can't say I mind that though.

[kartereo]

I wasn't, no. And I'm not sure I want to know why you have that designation either.

[wardeneructate]

[He belches then gives a long snort and a spit. One can almost hear the splat as whatever he spat out hits something.]

I'm a drunken fool.

[kartereo]

Ah, I see.

[The splat is a little gross though.]

[wardeneructate]

You ever heard of Oghren?

[kartereo]

I can't say that I have, no.

[wardeneructate]

Guess you're either out of the loop or one of those Rifter people then.

[kartereo]

The latter, you'll find.

[wardeneructate]

Rifter would explain why you don't know about old Oghren then. You heard anything about the Warden who stopped the Blight? Went missing?

[kartereo]

I think I've run across that a few times in books but there's a lot of those I still need to get through.

[wardeneructate]

I was one of his companions that helped stop all that madness. You'll probably find my name and some others in there.

[kartereo]

I'll keep an eye out then.
