8th Card ♛ Text

[Hello everyone, have a Text from "???". Yup, he's not even bothering to anon now since Vanitas and Nakama seem to be officially out of his hair.]

It seems like the House is getting a little small, huh Loki?

I guess that means all you Travelers are lucky. You won't have as many people sifting through your thoughts or have objects randomly levitating.

[That's a laugh. He's always always always sifting through people's thoughts every day, whether it's native or Traveler. However, he's bored right now and wondering how much smaller the House can get.]

Besides that, what's the most important thing to you right now? Or if you're going to get upset over a personal question, here's another: what's "special" to your world? What makes it unique compared to others?

[ There's a moment's hesitation before he answers. Thinking about those that are important to him brings about a regretful twinge he'd rather ignore. But if there are two things he loves to boast about...well, it's definitely the people and things he values the most.

And for all the regret he may have, he's not about to avoid talking about them. ]

I'll answer both your questions, since I see no reason not to. First off! Angela, my girlfriend back home, is probably the most important thing in my life, hands down--Er. Well, her and archaeology. I don't know where I'd be without either, to be honest! [ Kind of an awkward laugh. Angela would smack him if she had heard that comment. ]

As for what makes where I'm from special, well, I'd say puzzles. It's a peculiar thing, really. I've only been here a short time, but I've already noticed the severe lack of them--I haven't been asked a single one since my arrival!

[Funny, he didn't think anyone would actually be willing to answer the first question, and yet it's the second part that catches him off guard. The guy makes it sound like there would just be puzzles lying around everywhere or people would be constantly talking about them. It's a weird thought.]

I don't know what you can do about archaeology here, but would you want your girlfriend here with you?

Are puzzles really that popular? Is it some sort of obsession back in your world?

Well I've no doubt I'll be able to make do without archaeology to occupy myself with. [ It was unfortunate, of course, considering he loves archaeology with a passion, but... ] If anything, I can just take a close look at what the city does have to offer--you never know what might pop up, you know?

[ There's a hesitation before he answers the next question. He very nearly blurts out 'Of course'! But after a moment of thought, he realizes that he knows next to nothing about this place. Norse Gods, powers...for all he knew, this could be a disaster waiting to happen. ] And...yeah, I would. Granted, I haven't been here long enough to know if this is all that safe a place to be, but I think I would win the 'worst boyfriend ever' award if I didn't want to be by her side.

[ He laughs. ] I wouldn't say it's an obsession, per se, but people often go to those around them with anything they might be having trouble figuring out, or problems they just can't seem to solve. It's rare you'll see a day when you don't run into some kind of puzzle.

True. You might end end with something interesting brought in from other cities. [Although, ??? has very little knowledge on archaeology, so...] What would you be looking for?

It may be better for you to want her to stay home, though. With the previous war, a lot of people died or were injured.

[He's seriously trying to wrap his head around this, but he can't see how normal, every-day life events could be turned into puzzles.] Can you give me an example?

You might also find out something on the history of the city itself, based on the things that are already here--Ah, but yes, I would look for artifacts. Anything old. It doesn't necessarily have to be anything flashy or important, just so long as it's old.

They died? [ Oh...that's really upsetting. He hadn't really paid much thought to the whole war thing, so... ] I suppose I should be relieved she'll be safe in Stansbury then. [ Even if he'll miss her. ]

Well! If I had a piece of paper, I would actually give you a puzzle, but--let's say two men hate each other with a passion. They can't stand the sight of each other! The problem is they keep running into one another on their way home from work, and no matter what they try, they can't seem to find a path that's not only fast, but also allows them to avoid the other completely.

So, they come to you and ask you to help them figure out their problem.
