Greetings. This is Archer. I hope that you are all faring well after the recent abductions. But it is concerning that and many other strange things in this realm which I wish to speak of today. I refer in particular to that book which Mythra and I have discovered underneath this town.

Last month, I have received a quill. How I came to obtain this item is best left unsaid, but this quill will write upon no surface save for that book. A few short lines scribbled onto that book’s pages have yielded me no results, but perhaps defter hands than mine can reveal its secrets. To that end I have left the quill within the room where the book lies, so that any denizen of this world might use it freely. I believe that, considering the recently published end to Mr. F’s woeful tale, we are meant to rewrite the story of this world. As such, it seems fair that all of us play a part in its completion.

Also, and this is very important! I have left a second quill there. This quill is very special and is quite a pretty shade of blue. By no means should you touch this second quill. Only true kings may use it and no other.

That is all.

[ OOC: This post refers to an especially significant quest reward from last month which might have a strong impact on the endgame. It’s a magical quill that can only work on the book found a while back. Feel free to let your characters use this quill as you will, regardless of whether or not you have CR with Tristan! Just remember to report to the mods if your character writes anything substantial with it!

Also the second bit of this network post is just a flimsy ruse to ICly keep a certain someone from making some very irresponsible decisions RE: the quill. Your characters are perfectly free to touch that second quill (it’s just a random goose feather, and has now been stolen) if you want, or even call him out on the weirdness of it all. That feather is otherwise practically useless and just there as a silly decoy.

ETA: OOC plotting here and a log for threading out book shenanigans is up! ]

The fact that you are willing to interfere in affairs of such gravity is troubling enough.

[ But he's trying not to pick a fight with her over the network again. This is hard. ]

That said, if you truly have plans to change things for the better, then by all means you are as welcome to these other artifacts as any other.

sure. ill start by erasing you from this place completely. father doesnt need a useless knight like you around.

[ ... This is a joke. She's semi-encouraged him enough by now that he can hopefully tell. ]

[noholdsbard]

[ He knows she’s kidding—or at least that she wouldn’t actually go through with it, even without Saber around to give them stern looks.

Still, he can find no other answer for her, but: ]

I will not stop you.

saying a stupid thing like that... its no fun if you dont even argue. stand up for yourself once in a while.

besides, that whole bit about true kings was a lie, wasnt it? this thing is completely worthless.

[noholdsbard]

I did not lie.

[ It's more like…tarring and feathering the truth, maybe. ]

That was indeed meant for the king.
It is no surprise that it did not work for you.

[ In an instant, she goes from being reasonable (for her) to furious. She can be self deprecating if she wants, but coming from Tristan, she won't stand for it. ]

if its so damn important then come and take it! its been a while since i cut anyones head off!

[noholdsbard]

No.

[rebeliune]

WHY NOT

[noholdsbard]

There is no need for us to fight.

[ Besides, he still remembers how it went the last time. No thanks!!! ]

Here is your chance to prove yourself worthy.
I would not be so callous as to take such an opportunity away from you.
