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.

"I think that's the whole point of that analogy, mate."

and annoyed your boss to varying degrees. If he were being honest, patience was a practiced skill, and one that could easily go out the window with the right stress triggers…He shook his head a little at the comment, “It didn’t have a form of its own, so it communicated through uh- neural implants? Which it insisted would do us harm if it was in contact too often. I was never sure how true it was... but it definitely could do harm.” He grimaced a bit, “So this is all a nice change of pace, uh- at least so far.”
He offered a slight rise of his brow to Jagger’s response, it was why he’d said it. But he returned his attention to the books. “So… Do you have an idea on where you want to start in all this? Or are you going to do what I tend to do and just start with one book and work your way through them all till something strikes you.”
no subject
"None at all. I know...I heard someone talk about enchantment? I don't know. There is a tower to the north, I've heard of, so maybe we should check there..."
no subject
At least these complications seemed... Somehow less daunting in a way. There were people in charge who at least might speak to them. And nothing was stuck in his head that could kill him. Definitely a plus. Still hard to not wonder sometimes about how it had gotten there and how it had also just as seamlessly been removed before he arrived here. Not something he was willing to dwell on for too long, though.
“Mm... I think someone mentioned that to me when I arrived. This was just a little, uh- more convenient.” Closer to the apartments, easy to check out first while he was still trying to get a feel for how to find his way around the city. His sense of direction wasn’t the greatest. “Might be worth a look though once you’ve got a better idea of where you want to start.” He plucked another book from its place. “What sort of enchantment?”
no subject
"I might be better served just checking in at the tower. I wonder if there are any mages around to ask about it."
no subject
“Does anyone work at the tower? Someone there might actually know, unless it’s got something like the directory… Or no one.” He hummed a little. He hadn’t made it that far yet, so it was anyone’s guess. Clearly Jagger wasn’t getting what he needed here. Not that either of them knew how to recognize what was needed specifically.
no subject
It left a lot of things questionable at best.
no subject
But for today, it seemed like Jagger was unfortunately stuck on the matter of which book he needed. “If I locate someone that might consult on the matter, I’ll let you know.” He added, even if it might take a little time considering how much there already was on the pile in such a short time.
(ooc: We should probably wrap this soon, huh?)
