1 Audio Broadcast & 2 Open Logs
Who; Llewellyn & Anyone!
What; 1 Audio broadcast & 2 Open Logs
Where; The logs are at the Historium & the market!
When; Over the first couple weeks in May!
Warnings; Nothing to start, will update if anything happens!
1 - Tellphone
[Clearing his throat a little, Llewellyn tried to think of where to start, he’s been snooping around for a few days and compiling some notes.]
Hello! I’m sure everyone is rather used to these sorts of broadcasts now, but uh— I’ve only just arrived in the last few days. My name is Llewellyn Watts-Maresh, to get introductions out of the way.
I’ve been catching up on the goings on already, seems like there’s a lot going on right now that I’d like to offer my assistance with. So! I’ll skip directly to the main point of my broadcast.
While this world is a significant improvement on my last... I’m finding myself in need of a starting point. I’m accustomed to having an office to work from, but I don’t believe I’ll have the funds to open something myself from the start. Is there possibly a private investigation firm already that would be looking for a detective? I… don’t need much space. I’ve gotten used to taking my work outdoors in the past, but a desk to keep my notes and work at on occasion would be appreciated.
[And he paused, humming a little as he mulled over a secondary thought he’d been playing with since he arrived.]
That aside, I’m also knowledgeable with floriography. Even if this worlds is different from my own, I’m a fast study. I’ve had practice in making arrangements for various meanings and occasions, and before I was pulled here I was dabbling in gardening…? So if anyone is looking for some part-time help there, I wouldn’t mind doing that on the side. I uh— I like to keep busy.
[And if he and his husband ever do figure out how to purchase a home, he knows they’ll need the money for it. Being cooped up in a small apartment is not ideal long term.]
Mm… That should do it, thank you.
2 - Historium
Llewellyn might have been a little slower to get here than he normally would have been, too distracted with this new world and getting his feet under him. But any sort of library was a good starting point to see what kind of references were available when you wanted to investigate and learn more about certain things about a place that might not be readily available through word of mouth. Or things that were just easier to find out on your own, as he was prone to doing.
It was… a lot more disorganized than the last giant library he’d frequented, but that actually wasn’t a big issue for the detective. His thought process already tended towards the chaotic and scattered, so he actually felt rather at home in the place. It wasn’t hard to start at one shelf, scan the titles, and grab something before he continued onward.
Anyone around the Historium would see Llewellyn either with a few books under his arm, or sitting on a table (using the chair as a footrest) and leafing through a selection curiously. Once in a while, he’d stop, jot a few thoughts down in messy scrawl in his notebook, and then continue reading…
He’s not so absorbed in his task that he doesn’t notice anyone else around him. Llewellyn could be quite paranoid and didn’t enjoy being surprised, so unless you’re particularly sneaky, he would be quite aware if someone were to approach…
3 - Market
There were several places that Llewellyn could be guaranteed to be found if you needed him. The first being where ever he worked (he truly was a workaholic at times), with his husband (obvious, perhaps), and the market… The last being because Llewellyn usually found himself in need of a snack every few hours, he tended to think better on a full stomach and his metabolism was rather high given how little he sat around.
It was also his other go to for making contacts and gathering information on a place. People talked, especially shop and food stall employees. They saw or heard about everything going on in the city, after all, and if you were a frequent enough customer, they tended to appreciate your business enough to be on friendly terms.
Given this was another new world… Llewellyn was starting from scratch. So over the course of his first few weeks in this place, through the day, he’d take a stroll through the market whenever he was feeling hungry. Every time he’d stop somewhere, he’d take a few minutes to chat and get to know the person working, he might not remember names right away, but if he stopped there frequently enough he’d start to commit things to memory (and he certainly wrote more important conversations down).
If approached, Llewellyn would actually be quite happy to talk, as long as no one minded his snacking… He’d even offer to share.

Sometimes it had been a challenge to come up with new recipehs. And he had to go with whatever was available because the market wasn't always available or a good idea to go and waste gas and go out of their way to get ingredients.

It was hard for him to imagine sitting down for a meal sometimes, aside from at the end of the day when he or Rhy brought home a full meal to share together… But it was a hard mindset for him to get into regularly, Llewellyn’s life had been constantly on the go for years. He hadn’t been welcome at his first place of work which meant his ‘office’ had been outside while he walked, and his life had been rather full of turmoil that made him throw himself headfirst into case after case.
On the one hand, he was one of the youngest people to make detective in Toronto at the time. On the other, it meant grabbing something fast and easy to eat while he walked more often than not. Even at the Sphere, much of his time was spent focusing on cases than on settling… So it was a new idea, one that he was at least trying to work on with the help of his husband and starting fresh in a new world.

Working at the Lodge he'd sort of been 'adopted' by the Hunters there. Ignis was always quick and efficient with meals and of course there were times he'd been a Hunter in his own right. So the lads there knew he could Hunt and cook and there was the utmost respect for a man who could wield a knife just as fiercely on the field and in the kitchen. And if he didn't want to be bothered the hunters covered for him. Of course he was certain that by extension that would be given to his friends.

“Thank you, I’ll uh— try to keep that in mind then. It might be good to have a quiet space to sort out my notes if I need a different view than the office or the gardens.” And if Rhy wanted to eat out, perhaps he’d suggest they stop by for a meal once in a while. They did need to find a few new places to frequent when they were out.
Wrap?
"I must apologize, as I do believe speaking on culinary matters has temporarily robbed me of my manners. I'm Ignis Scientia, it's a pleasure to meet you." He had no idea if the man would reciprocate in turn, but it was worth it. "And if you decide to come to the Lodge, your husband is welcome as well should you choose to do so."
There was a smile. "And I must thank you for allowing me to partake of your doughy treat."
Sure!
Instead, he tucked his hands back in his pockets and offered a polite nod. “Thank you for the invite. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind. I was happy to share, it’s good to try new things… right?” He added with a grin before removing a hand from his jacket pocket to wave in what he thought might be the direction of the lodge. “I presume you must be on your way though, and I should get back to my own day… It was good to meet you though, I look forward to speaking again.” He added, not wanting to keep the man. Plus, he had an office to find, needing to secure more work himself.
