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...

[ Suddenly out of nowhere probably from somewhere behind him! ]

How peculiar. Are you in charge of everything here?

I see. Should I address you as 'sir', then? Are you a peer of the castle master?

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.

Is there something wrong with asking questions? It would help if you answered some.

[ Unshaken by his look. ]

Why not? An extensive library should be perused, shouldn't it?

[ Almost sounds slightly sympathetic. Almost! ]

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.

Excellent. How much is it a night?

[ 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.

[ Impatiently. ]

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?

[ Angrily swatting his hand away and taking a few steps back, starting to become indignified now! ]

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.

My name is Agnes.

Now where exactly am I? This place is so absurd. This is all common knowledge!

If I go to the infirmary, will you quit bothering me with this nonsense about amnesia? Although I don't intend to stay here long, it would be nice if my stay weren't filled with accusations of a poor memory.

[ She speaks blandly now. ]

I don't know where Budehuc Castle or the Grasslands are.
quicksmart: (hmph.)

What year I'm in? Stop being absurd, and stop lying me!

In fact, go away! I'll find everything myself.

Hah! Like you would study anything useful anyway, given what you know about anything!

[ She hesitates for a moment and then picks a direction to storm off in, not particularly bothered where it leads for now! ]
