What clubs did everyone join? I had a hard time deciding which ones had the most hotties.

Soooooooooo, guess who's the Necromantic Arts professor?

I didn't know you two were interested in linguistics.

[yrsa]

i can feel a new passion awakening
& maybe i'll learn how to read 'don't touch, this is super cursed'

[quickwitted]

I can teach you how to say that in all the important languages.

[yrsa]

if you can do that you'll officially be my guardian angel

[quickwitted]

How many cursed objects would you say you touch per year, on average?

[yrsa]

more than 5, less than [...] 50
still can't be around pickles without sneezing uncontrollably

[quickwitted]

That's really tragic.

[yrsa]

no kidding
there's a really unglamorous side to being an adventurer

[helmineblackwater]

I'm not. But I'm interested in knowledge and I don't want to be barred from specific texts just because I can't read them.

[quickwitted]

Well, if you ever need a translator, I work for a reasonable fee.

[helmineblackwater]

You're always very reasonable!

How many languages do you know?

[quickwitted]

Nine. And I can read anything.

[helmineblackwater]

Really? Are you fluent in all of them?

[quickwitted]

No. I just started learning draconic and celestial this year.

Speaking of the Dead Languages Society, do either of you know Killian Lu?

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[quickwitted]

Not personally, but everyone talks about him in Silverquill. He's the Dean's son. Their family pioneered ink-magic.

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[yrsa]

is he one of the vampires or would that name be too on the nose

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[quickwitted]

No, he's human.

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[helmineblackwater]

Most of the vampires I've read about do seem to have dramatic names, though. I wonder if they change them after they're turned for the sake of the [...] aesthetic?

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[quickwitted]

They must, right?

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[helmineblackwater]

They must!

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[helmineblackwater]

Figures. I just can't get away from that family!

Anyway. He got into something strange last week. We may want to keep an eye on him too. Just in case it's related!

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[quickwitted]

And you're not even a Silverquill.

Strange how? [...] Do you want me to ask Felisa about him? She knows everything about everyone.

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[helmineblackwater]

Well! At the party the other night, I happened to be in the Treehouse and I happened to pass by Dinah's room. The door was cracked and the two of them were talking. She was treating some injuries he'd sustained and asking what kind of monster caused them and saying she'd never seen anything like them. He was cagey and just said that a monster didn't cause them.

It seems like there's something going on between them too because she was all 'I thought you'd be more careful!' and he was all 'can I stay here tonight?' and you know. But that's a separate issue.

Anyway, I tried to get some information from him at the faire today but he denied he'd been hurt. He did react some when I talked about asking Dinah and about hearing about the whole thing in the rumor mill, though.

The whole thing is suspicious.

What would you ask Felisa?

Farrow & Yrsa & Helmine

[quickwitted]

Hm. Intriguing.

[...] I don't know. I could pretend to have a crush on him and ask if he's dating anybody. I'm sure she wouldn't think it was weird.
