[ Instead of a welcome message, there's just muffled noises as Hunter tries and fails to get his comm to do what he wants it to do. ]

[oweschildsupport]

I actually think you out weird me on this one

[pyrighteous]

HA, I WIN

WAIT

[oweschildsupport]

[Alas that the voice-to-text function doesn't pick up Draxum cackling, because he is.]

Too late you already admitted it

[pyrighteous]

ARGH
YOU ARE VERY RUDE SIR

[oweschildsupport]

Maybe you're just too nice

[Not that that needs to change. Draxum meant it when he said those aspects about Hunter were strengths.]

But I cut you off
You were talking about the view from the titan's knee

[That earlier clarification was important, but with that settled he'd still like to hear what Hunter liked about it, if he's willing!]

[pyrighteous]

OH YEAH
YOU CAN SEE MOST OF THE TITAN LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE FACING THE TORSO
AND IT'S ONE OF THE FEW PLACES IN THE ISLES WHERE IT SNOWS

[oweschildsupport]

Like a snow globe ? Or are we talking Thoth levels

[pyrighteous]

THOTH LEVELS
MOST OTHER PLACES IN THE ISLES DON'T DO THAT
WATER IS TOO HOT

[oweschildsupport]

So that's why it's named like that

[With a name like The Boiling Isles, he'd wondered.]

And the other places you listed ?
Tell me what makes those ones special

[pyrighteous]

WELL THEY ALL HAVE GREAT VIEWS FOR THE MOST PART
OR UNIQUE FEATURES?
THE SKULL HAS INCREDIBLE CAVERNS FOR EXAMPLE

[oweschildsupport]

[Caves become much less awe-inspiring after you've spent thousands of years living inside one with little changes in scenery, but for the first time in a long time, Draxum feels a real spark of interest considering this one.

After all, what Hunter's describing would be nothing like a normal cavern system—it's an ancient creature's skull cavity. However it developed, its ecosystem is bound to be unlike anything Draxum's ever seen.]

Where I come from you can find books filled with photographs or illustrations of landmarks and spectacular sceneries
They're big with libraries and tourists
Do you know if your world has that sort of thing ?

[pyrighteous]

OH YES WE DO
WE HAVE LOTS OF LIBRARIES
EACH MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE LAST

[oweschildsupport]

So they're GOOD libraries
Chalk that up as yet another thing yokai and witches do better than humans
Have you ever seen a human library ? They don't even have mystical defenses it's pathetic

[The Burning of the Library of Alexandria? Skill issue.]

[pyrighteous]

YEAH I'VE BEEN IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY
IT'S WEIRD ISN'T IT??
I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO BRIBE ANYONE

[oweschildsupport]

And no one is sent to break your kneecaps if you don't return the books !
I can't make heads or tails of it

[Literally shaking his head.]

But I digress
I asked because a thought occurred to me that this discussion would be improved upon with visual aids

[pyrighteous]

EXACTLY
HOW DO THEY EXPECT THE BOOKS TO RETURN
NONE OF THEM HAVE WINGS EITHER

[ anyway!! ]

... OH I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT
I DON'T HAVE ANY BOOKS FROM HOME THOUGH
ASIDE FROM BELOS'S NOTES

[oweschildsupport]

It may be possible to obtain them with lore
I'm tempted to try it now with tomes from my own city
I wonder how specific you have to be

[pyrighteous]

HUH
I'LL HAVE TO TRY IT THEN
I'D LIKE TO SEE BOOKS FROM YOUR HOME TOO

[oweschildsupport]

If it works I'll show you
Perhaps some kind of collection of photographs of the hidden city's major sights and landmarks
For all that it lacks it can be impressive in its own way

[pyrighteous]

I DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE IT NO MATTER WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!!

[oweschildsupport]

Let's make a trade of it then
I want to see if the views of the boiling isles are as impressive as you claim

[pyrighteous]

DEAL THEN
I'LL SHOW YOU FOR SURE

[oweschildsupport]

Good
Though while I'm at it I should also procure the other items we'll need for the ritual
I asked Jones to have the guard make a list for me
Has he completed it ?

[It was meant to be a list of things the guard thinks of positively. They could be as detailed as a memory, or as vague as a favorite food or smell.]

[pyrighteous]

OH
UH
HANG ON I THINK SO

[oweschildsupport]

Hanging on

[Doot doot doot]
