Level 4: Two Books [RD 16]

[[Bakura's in the library of the Hero's Headquarters, looking a touch befuddled.]]

Does anyone know where these books came from? [[Holds up a pair of old looking books, neither of them labeled. One of them has a simple lock on it.]]

I can't find a key for this one, and this... [[he sets down the locked book to open the unlocked one, opening it to a page that has the day written on top of it, followed by smaller writing that's hard to read from the orb]]

It looks like a journal of sort... but this is today's date. And it has what was posted on the news board written in it.

I've seen many impossible things happen. Besides, it was locked for a reason, I'd imagine. If the only reason was to keep us out, why make it so flimsy? Why give it to us in the first place?

Besides, there may come a time when someone who has a reason to be in here might be the same person we would rather keep out of the book.

[She's...occasionally a bit paranoid. Sorry about that, Bakura.]

There was probably some mini quest we were supposed to do to get the key, I'm sure.

Just seems a lot of effort when really, anyone who wanted to get past the lock could just rip the cover off. It's not like it's all metal or anything like that...

Mini-quest?

Yes. I was thinking of asking for a sturdy box to go wirh it, I think.

Aa-- like having to go find 5 of some item to get something that lets the quest giver restore the key you need for the lock. It's a pretty standard thing in RPGs....
shadow_sage: (face-->palm)

That sounds incredibly pointless.

That sounds incredibly pointless.

<i[Says someone who has had occasion to send a certain human Commander on rather similar quests; the irony is lost on her, unfortunatly.]</i>

Why not simply give us the key in the first place, then? Or a book with no lock?

Aaaa--- Most of the time it's about proving worth or just getting things done that the NPCs want but don't want to go do themselves...
shiromadoushi: (Anime: Awkward...)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-08-30 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Aaa.... non player character... [[said so awkwardly like he's been caught at something]] I play a lot of RPGs -- Roll playing games-- and they work a lot like how this world does sometimes...

Does that make us players? Or merely characters being played?

[This is said in something of a deadpan.]
shiromadoushi: (Embarrassed laugh)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-08-30 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Players playing ourselves, really. Sort of like a really well done LARP!
shadow_sage: (Sublime)

[personal profile] shadow_sage 2012-08-31 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
If we're playing a game, I think the rules are dufferent from what our captors would like them to be.
shiromadoushi: (Small smile)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-09-02 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow I doubt that the ones who summoned us are in charge of that sort of thing at all.
shadow_sage: (If My Calculations Are Correct)

[personal profile] shadow_sage 2012-09-02 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No, probably not. But whatever is in charge made a mistake thinking I'll play its game the way I'm supposed to.

[She smiles at Bakura.]

I'm going to check the board. Who do you think would be able to make a lock and keys?
shiromadoushi: (Yo!)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-09-02 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
There's the locksmith who took care of the doors here who's in the market square. If you say it's for the Hero House, it should still be covered. I took care of his mother's leg and he said if we needed anything, that was payment enough.

[[Someone's been building a lot of currency with the locals, it would seem~]]

I can't imagine this requiring a great deal of unusual work. On his part.

Are there any...wizards...who might be capable of increasing the protection of a locked box?
shiromadoushi: (?)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-09-06 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure.... I could try something but I don't think any of my magic is long lasting like that.
shadow_sage: (Shiny Blue Stuff)

[personal profile] shadow_sage 2012-09-10 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well, think about what you might be able to do, and if there's anyone else who might be able to help. I'll ask around.
shiromadoushi: (Yo!)

Sorry for the short reply ><

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-09-11 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
OK! [[smiles with a nod]]
shadow_sage: (Goodbye)

Re: Sorry for the short reply ><

[personal profile] shadow_sage 2012-09-12 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[She turns, starting for the door, but pauses.]

Someday, these might be important. I don't intend to dismiss their appearance as happy chance. And if I am right, that means having them will become dangerous, if someone opposed to this war ending with victory for the King learns of them.
