Ϡ 1st Feather ⇁ Video

[isanovice]

[ When the video flips on, it is to Altaïr barely masking his disdain. ]

It would seem that these bracelets are a necessary trinket.

I have been... absent, for some time. What little I remember, the outcome of Asgard's battle looked bleak. It seems that this was overcome. What else have I missed?

[digophelia]

[Tentatively.]

Altair, did you perhaps remove the bracelet?

[isanovice]

[ ...

No of course not why would he do such a foolish thing especially after being warned...

He really isn't sure what to say, so it takes him awhile to respond. ]

It was absent from my person for a time.

[digophelia]

I am sorry to hear that.

[No, you're terrifying, Alice isn't asking more.]

[sicarius]

[A chuckle.]

I was beginning to wonder where you had gone off to, Altaïr. [A beat.] There has been much that has happened while you were gone.

[isanovice]

It has been corrected.

It will not happen again.

[digophelia]

We have new additions to the... shop.

[seventeenth]

Those bracelets are a pain in the ass, aren't they?

Freyr's dead, though, and Freya's pissed at us about it.

[isanovice]

[ And he did not miss you at all... ]

Then we should speak. [ You can practically hear his teeth grinding. ]

[magnificat]

I haven't been here a day and the paper they gave us specifically states not to take off the bracelet. Are you some sort of idiot?

[eldestson]

[ there was a certain emotion Darim was expecting to feel the first time he saw his father, what was that emotion again? oh yes, relief. but that's not the emotion he feels now. actually, what he feels is sick. very, very sick.

that is not the face of a 60 year old man as it should have been. that is the face of someone who is much, much younger. he almost wants to think that maybe this isn't his father, maybe this is just someone who looks very much like his father did when he was a child (although younger looking than even that), but he is no fool. he knows that as much as he wants to think that, to convince himself that this is not his father, to do so would be foolish. he would only hurt himself more in the end by doing so.

he does hold on to the foolish hope that Altaïr will know him, though. maybe he would only know a newborn version of Darim, but even if it's only that at least it would be something. because if Altaïr doesn't know Darim at all, Darim will have lost the only remaining person that he truly cares about. ]

And the bracelet-- the bracelet had something to do with your absence? [ his voice isn't as strong as he'd like it to be, but he can't muster up the energy for anything else right now. not when he's so nervous. ]

[sicarius]

[TROLL MENTORE MISSED THE SHIT OUT OF YOU, GRANDPA. B)]

Va bene, would the shop do?

[aka you better get your ass in the Bureau, boy. He's got some 'splainin' to do.]

[isanovice]

That would be one way of describing it.

[ You look very familiar, Desmond. It's... a little eerie, actually. ]

We cannot dictate the actions of others. [ Basically Freya can eat it in his opinion. ]

voice;

[isanovice]

[ Oh he can already tell that they are going to get along so well... ]

I was aware of the risks. A battle was raging, the bracelet was not my first priority.

[kaderp]

... did you take it off?

Truly?

My brother will never let you hear the end of this.

[isanovice]

[ There was something about the other that Altaïr simply just could not quite manage to place. Something in his features, some strange sense of familiarity that he could not understand. He was certain he had never seen this man in his life- yet he could not shake the nagging feeling that there was something here... ]

The removal of ones bracelet causes one to become like the grey-faced people that populate this world.

[ His answer is short, and precise. But all the while he is studying the other's face intently, wanting to be absolutely sure that he can say he does not know him. ]

1/idk I'll let you know when I'm done.

[isanovice]

[ Oh shit it's Kadar-- ]

voice;

[magnificat]

So you took it off during a battle. That's smart.

2/?

[isanovice]

[ --okay well to be fair he knew he was here but he was hoping to just continue avoiding him like the plague, for an awful lot of reasons, chief among them not giving Malik any more fuel. ]

3/3 done!

[isanovice]

[ But now he's talking to him which means Altaïr is busted on the avoidance front and what does he even say? ]

...Kadar.

[ That sums it up... right? ]

[isanovice]

[ He isn't sure how much Alice knows about the true intent of 'Needle in a Haystack' and he isn't about to be the one to blow it- so he chooses his words carefully. ]

Who Ezio chooses to employee is of little importance to me. [ Unless of course, she's not truly talking about the tea shop. ]

[isanovice]

I will meet you there shortly.

[ He feels no need to say anything more, and so off goes the video. ]

voice;

[isanovice]

Think what you want, but know that you are incorrect. [ Except she's not that far off. He was getting sick of the chatter- so he tossed it. ]

[true_renaissance_man]

I was recently warned about the dangers of losing those bracelets. As some one who has experienced it, could you tell me what it was like? What actually happened when you lost it?

[Video]

[isanovice]

I remember very little after the bracelets removal. My bracelet was returned to me by a city guard.

[digophelia]

It was a forewarning that there are new additions to the shop or bureau... whatever it is called.

[Whoops.]
