[So getting used to this new kind of technology was certainly an… experience. He still isn’t really comfortable with the idea of a video recording of himself, and even an instantaneous voice transmission is beyond the level of tech he’s accustomed to so text is the way to go. Unfortunately, he’s using this like some sort of magical LinkedIn, so it’s a very formal letter style he’s got going on.]

Hello,

My name is Jayce Talis. I’ve noticed there’s a few buildings here that seem to be laboratories. If any have availability to lend a room or two, I have research and device development I would like to work on. Ideally if there’s any access to a forge of some sort, that would be preferred, but not required. I have a personal reference if necessary to demonstrate good character.

[He notably does not say anywhere that there will probably be explosions.]

Thank you for your time.

Does anyone truly care about one's character when they have knowledge and expertise to offer? Such trivialities will be the end of us. Though, if you do learn anything about the state of availability of these labs, I would certainly like to know of it as well.

I must admit, I am curious about your little project.

[hexcope]

I've found it's usually detrimental to progress if you're working in an enclosed space with someone you don't get along with.

[Like someone who would consider a person's character trivial...]

I don't have anything to show yet, I'm in the research stages right now.

i think you're supposed to ask character references their willingness first.

[Yes, he knew Jayce was talking about Caitlyn. He's just figuring out this network... thing out, so let him have this.]

what are you planning on building?

[hexcope]

That's fair. I guess if she says no, I'll have to resort to using her kitchen...

[Annoying older brother instincts kicking in.]

Nothing planned yet. I need to study more on how the properties of this place work. Whatever way magic worked in Runeterra, there's no guarantee it works the same way here.

And I suppose I'm your personal reference?

[She'll vouch for him! But she's obligated to give him a hard time about it first.]

[hexcope]

Well, I knew you'd do it, so...

[He skipped the asking part.]

I applaud you for not wasting time.

Do consider, however, the cost of who all you leave behind, in the pursuit of your progress, hm?

[ he has an angle he's not JUST being bitchy i swear ]

[hexcope]

You sound worried I'll leave you in the sump, Silco.

If you need a forge and workshop space, there’s plenty in Stonhyrr.

Just take the bridge from the hospital to the Bangsan market. Head north till you see water and look west. Big looming fortress. Can’t miss it. Not too bad, maybe a five mile walk altogether.

Give me a call before you hit the bridge so I can call off the behemoth.

A lab and a forge? What the hell kind of research and development do you do?

Do you want the long answer or the short one?

[ Do you ever see a cool message, read the replies and then second guess the trouble you might be inviting?? That's Gorgug here!! He thinks he'll just be nice... ]

did you show up recently with a lot of friends?

[ "A lot" being 'there's like three people here who seem to know this person'. ]

[hexcope]

We know each other, if that's what you mean.

["Would put some of them in jail," is probably not in the same category as the word friend.]

I would advise you take precautions.
You are toying with forces that have proved volatile in the past.

[hexcope]

Care to explain a little further? I can't take precautions if I don't know what I'm cautioning against.

[fortitudosalutis]

And what exactly are you building?

[hexcope]

I'm not sure yet. It'll depend on what I can uncover. Fire wasn't discovered with the intent of cooking food.

[Kirk had been quietly monitoring the post since it went up. He has his lab at the Tower of Justice but it wouldn't hurt to have a contingency, especially with the tower's security system not up to its usual peak performance. Plus, he remembers Jayce's interest in collaborating with him. The feeling was mutual from Kirk's end]

Anything interesting yet?

[hexcope]

At least one place said they may have availability, but it may have more challenges getting to it than I'd like.

[It's far enough and dangerous enough getting to Stonhyrr that he has a feeling he'd wind up sleeping there more often than not.]

Nice to meet you, Jayce.
Can't speak to any forges, but you'll be in good company with a lot of the science-y type folks here

[hexcope]

Nice to meet you too.

I think I've met a few, but I'd love to meet all of them.

I regret to inform you that you would be best off participating in missions and accruing "points" until you're able to request your own space and materials. It's a harrowing couple months until you're able to, but quite worth it.

In the meantime you're welcome to claim a private study room in the library to store your things.

[ Harold's certainly not volunteering to share his space, though he wouldn't mind some collaborations. He's actually responding because he saw Jayce refuse to make guns for Carver and immediately felt his sympathies go out to him.

He hates guns and cycles of violence, too. ]

wowee... look at us... together again

[hexcope]

Thank you, I might take you up on your offer, but I need to insist that I need more than storage. I can promise to avoid more dangerous experiments, but is soldering out of the question? It's not something I can wait months for.

This is the second time I've heard of the "points." Are these points also how we save our universe?

[Oh boy, wouldn't it be a really funny thing if it turned out Jayce was kind of a hypocrite about making weapons, huh??]

n whos gonna be the judge against your character
some bias there talis

Be nice. I'm doing you a favor.

[He does not elaborate on the favor.]
