Dawn of a new era
Er-hem! Greetings Budehuc! That sounded a bit too formal...
As some of you may have heard, Master Thomas has taken a short leave of absence and has asked me to keep an eye on things until he returns. If you have any issues to raise, I would point you to our comment box, if it hadn't gone missing as well! Seriously, guys? Okay, let me be the first to raise an issue then: We are in urgent need of a comment box!
...
Oh, who am I even talking to? This place got practically deserted after the whole Fire Bringer thing got wrapped up. I would have pinched the comment box myself at this rate, with all this boredom...

no subject
probably from somewhere behind him! ]How peculiar. Are you in charge of everything here?
no subject
In charge of everything? No, nothing special like that... I am just helping the castle master as a favour. Can I help you with something?
no subject
I was simply wondering if this castle offered any boarding services. I've been travelling for a few days with some merchants who told me that you have a very extensive library at your disposal.
no subject
[ Looks slightly amused, or perhaps happy to see Budehuc isn't completely deserted yet! ]
We have all kinds of services here! Though we don't get a lot of people coming just to see the library of all things.
no subject
[ Unshaken by his look. ]
Why not? An extensive library should be perused, shouldn't it?
no subject
I'm just saying we have a lot of things here, like a dojo, horse riding, theatre, spa... but sure, I'll show you the way to the library. Gods know how much time I've spent up there... including the nap hours, of course.
no subject
I see.
I'm not interested in any of those, only the library and a place to bed. You never told me if there was a place to stay, either. You should answer people's questions.
no subject
Okay, now I'm interested, what sort of literature does a bookworm like you read? You've traveled quite a long way, you must be after something.
no subject
[ Crinkles her nose at his phrasing. ]
Bookworm? There's no need to be so rude, calling people names. But if you must know, I'm after books on Blinking magic. And perhaps a map. ... and also anything related to any battles that may be pertinent to read along the way.
I'd like to travel back to the Scarlet Moon Empire, you see.
no subject
Travel back to-- what..?
no subject
no subject
The republic? What republic?
If people here don't know where the Scarlet Moon Empire is, I suppose I would settle with heading for the Island Nations. Surely you know of that?
no subject
[ Inconsiderately poking her forehead. ]
Are you sure you're not an amnesiac or something? Can you feel this?
no subject
Stop that! Nobody said you could touch my head!
[ Puts her hands on her hips. ]
I do hope you're joking, because I was there just last week. I assure you that the Empire is quite sound and very powerful, and Kooluk is no longer a threat to them. ... not that they ever stood a chance.
no subject
You really did hit your head on something, didn't you? And yet it can't be amnesia, because you're talking like you've been there for all of that... Just who are you? Is somebody having me on?
no subject
Now where exactly am I? This place is so absurd. This is all common knowledge!
no subject
I know I can't make you do anything, but I'd be remiss if I didn't inform you at least.
no subject
[ She speaks blandly now. ]
I don't know where Budehuc Castle or the Grasslands are.
no subject
no subject
In fact, go away! I'll find everything myself.
no subject
[ ...Decided he will keep an eye on her from a distance until things cool down. ]
no subject
[ She hesitates for a moment and then picks a direction to storm off in, not particularly bothered where it leads for now! ]
