I'm going to need someone to explain the metrics of this place without mentioning the giant turtle. Before you ask; yes, I have seen it. Though seeing it does little to convince me of its authenticity. I'd never get very far if I took everything at face value.

That being said, Discussions on Science and verifiable facts only. if you intend to talk magic don't bother responding. Your input isn't needed.

I AM SO SORRY

[celticromanstone]

Well, darling, the best place to learn about all these things is in the Fire District.

but for what?

[of_deduction]

Believe it or not, you've been the most helpful out of everyone save boy with the lab.
SH

[celticromanstone]

Where else would you find out about a people, except at play? I can recommend a few places for your... observations.

[of_deduction]

And what places would those be?
SH

[celticromanstone]

Well, there are of course the bars, but there's also the whore houses. They are often places where people let their guards down. I could recommend a few places, and even offer to be your escort, if you would like.

[of_deduction]

[ ALERT. ALERT. SHE IS TALKING ABOUT A RED LIGHT DISTRICT. ALERT. ]

That won't be necessary.
SH

[celticromanstone]

Really? Now that's a shame. How can you say no before we've even met?

[of_deduction]

Just not interested in any of those things. Thanks.
SH

[celticromanstone]

I thought you wanted to observe what this place was really like? Is observation too intense for you there?

[ Completely innocent. This is fun. ]

[of_deduction]

It's not the kind of observation I'm interested in.
SH

[celticromanstone]

What type of observation are you thinking, darling? I was talking about sitting in the lounge and just watching people come and go.

[of_deduction]

Of course you were. [ He doesn't believe that for a second. ]

And the answer is still no, I have more important things to do than go people watching.
SH

[celticromanstone]

What better way to learn about them? You could try the shelter.

[ And yes, she meant just observing in the lounge, not watching. ]

[of_deduction]

Still not interested. I observe people just fine on my own and I have several other matters to attend to as well. Should a future case lead me in that direction that will be one thing, but for the moment I'm more concerned with settling in.
SH

[ Which for him is researching history, geography, learning the laws and that sort of thing. Oh and furnish the new residence. ]

[celticromanstone]

Ah, so the lowest of the pantheon are not within your scope? Too bad.

[ She is needling him a bit, but she truly believes that. ]

[of_deduction]

No.
SH

[ Which isn't actually true. But she said 'whore houses' and he is alarmed doesn't want anything to do with it. ]

[celticromanstone]

Then don't get hurt while I'm on shift, darling. I wouldn't want this whore to get her cooties all over you.

[ Why yes, she is taking his rejection personally. ]

[of_deduction]

What you do on your own time is your business. Now unless you have plans to commit murder of end up murder yourself, kindly leave me out of it.

I'm not judging you, I'm just not interested.
SH

[celticromanstone]

Ah, you misunderstand, I also work at the Healer's Guild, Mr. SH.

[of_deduction]

Healer? Like a doctor?
SH

[celticromanstone]

Nurse, actually, but I work with the trauma team, and in the A&E-like area we have.
