week 5; wednesday w/ veronica and orion

[alchemenace]

[ here we are again. varian grabbed veronica and orion with the "we have to talk" bs, and now here they are, in ... someone's room look i refuse to make an effort on location when we don't know what bullshit will be happening wednesday yet.

anyway. varian grabbed them here so he might as well start. ]

So the good news is, I know what the special roles do.

[ ... well then ]

[ varian gives that question a legitimate thought or two. he's. honestly varian is not exactly the person to go to for eloquent and succinct words ]

... Maybe ask for the exact meaning of the numbered message? Oh, but if it's a code to unlock something, that might not work.

[fonlines]

I wasn't informed of any particular arrival time. Perhaps asking for an intended meaning and purpose, if any...?

[ he's also trying, but cryptography is not one of the things you teach a child pope, it turns out ]

[asswipe]

To understand the intended meaning and purpose of the numbered message... [Cryptography is not a thing you teach anyone, period.] Maybe that'll cover our bases enough?

[alchemenace]

I think that's about as good as it gets. Hopefully it won't waste your token.

[ why does information suck. ]

Oh, I almost forgot. I wrote to Beauty and got a letter back. I mainly asked about them trying to kill Tiger and us fulfilling objectives?

[ he takes out the letter ]

[fonlines]

... Hm. I've received a few things too, this being perhaps the most relevant.

[ here's another one of the parchments he brought along! he's got several, but this seems to be the longest. ]

I wrote to them asking about whether we should be spreading this around, or trying to keep it a more subtle affair.

[ ... ]

I also asked about the mistakes they made reference to, but I think I may have upset Beauty. Beast answered the rest of the questions I had about some of the details of the flow of ink.

[She looks a little surprised when they start pulling their new letters out, but it's not until she's skimmed through them that she realizes something.]

Wait. [WAIT...] If you got a letter from Beauty, and you got a letter from Beauty and the Beast— Then who got a letter from just Beast?

[Because she sure didn't get one herself.]

[alchemenace]

Oh. I, I actually know who it is? I thought Beast had just managed to ... send two, somehow.

[ it just made sense to him that they could write more than one letter. for reasons. ]

... They said we should share this information, right? I can, I can ask them if they want to meet up tomorrow, all four of us?

[fonlines]

... I don't think they can. I think it says- they can only write to us as many things as we send them.

[ time to live in the owlery and send them a bunch of spam mail i mean what ]

... Given what we've been told, I would not be opposed to that, I suppose.
