The Scholar's Guild

[Rushu42 she/her]

That's okay,  Aln responded. But how did you access it from the peak of a mountain? Is it a new form of Investiture? She paused for a moment, a small smile passing her lips, then wrote, Or a gift from the Nightwatcher? 

As she waited for the pen's response, she tacked the signature to the wall, and then pulled out a book on Investiture and began leafing through it.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

The pen took several minutes to respond. 

'Thank you for accepting me,' it wrote. 'Few have, these days. I will come when I can, then I will answer your questions. Over spanreed, however... it is no longer safe. I will come when I can,'

[Rushu42 she/her]

Aln frowned at the page, then wrote, Of course. I wish you the best of luck, and look forward to our meeting.

At this point, does the spanreed connect back to her previous correspondence?

Two things, I don't think all spanreeds are linked. I think they only come in pairs or premade groupings.

Also, he tried to sneak into the DA's general assembly. 

He's lucky he wasn't disintegrated.

Spanreeds are explicitly only made from two conjoined fabrials. The exact method of creation still hasn't been determined yet but it involves two pieces from the same Ruby being used.

Yeeeaaaah, I made a pretty bad decision, one that severely lacked judgement... On the bright side, I might come back as a hemalurgic monster!

Well, the Scholar's Guild will accept even hemalurgic monsters with poor judgement. So I won't count your character as dead just yet.

Aln pinned the slip of paper to the wall above her desk, and wrote his name on the sign in front. Turning around, she said to him, "You're welcome in the back room, now. That's where our Guild discussions take place."

[Minato™]

"Thank you, just for reference, how can I submit books to the library or research papers etc?" Novus asked Aln.

@Rushu42

"I can take them," Aln replied. "Currently our library consists of what you see here, as well as a few more shelves in the back. Any books are welcome!"

[Minato™]

Novus thanked Aln and entered the room dedicated to guild discussions.

Tsk tsk, guys! As if I wouldn't break the rules without knowing how I'd do it! There are ways of doing this kind of thing.

A man with shaggy black hair stood from his slouched position outside of the building and entered. The attendant's gaze slid right over him as if he wasn't there. That's how most mortals saw him. As if he were invisible.

His eyes were dead, yet they saw.

The man entered the room with the fabrial and switched the rubies back to how they had been before. The first time he had done this, he had been replacing the ruby already there with one of his own. Now, he switched them back.

Funny, how nobody in the room saw him.

He made the switch and walked out of the building, then trudged away. His job was done. He had others.

[Rushu42 she/her]

Oh, of course. Silly me. I should have automatically assumed it was a ghost thing switching the rubies.

Sorry. Didn't mean it quite like that.

Xena pulled her coat closer around her, leaning over the spanreed. after a second, he rolled it up and left it on the table of the tavern she was in. She was about halfway to the Scholar's Guild place.

She just wished it wasn't so cold.

Xena stood up, grabbed her backpack and walked out.

It's fine. I was just being snarky.

Thanks. To be clear, your character left her spanreed behind?

 

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Quote

Yes. She was borrowing it, because owning a spanreed costs character points.  She won't contact you against until she makes it to the guild base, which will be pretty soon.

 

[Rushu42 she/her]

Okay, cool. (This post is mainly so that you don't have to double post when you get here).

 

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Thanks! But it'll probably be tomorrow when I have time to do it.

Relatively soon.
