It seems some things are consistent across any sort of universe...

[ once again dry as hell. ]

Did things just escalate? Or was it the moon incident that brought all of us here? You all made it sound as if it was planned, if rushed.

So you're already familiar with the type. [ There's a very light sense of annoyance in their tone. Why are there so many of them in the universe? ]

It's hard to say for certain, but it seems possible it's linked.

Yes. Like several others - my world was in something of danger just before I came.

[ tsk. villains. he picks his tea back up to take a long, thoughtful drink. ]

And you all've been dealing with this particular scourge for... six months now, right?

Mine is as well. You'd think they could wait until after things were settled before bringing us here.

[ They give a slight nod of agreement. ]

[ this is a bad thing for people to have in common. ]

Ah, I see, I see... What sort of megalomaniac were you dealing with?

A group that was convinced the world shouldn't exist. Talking them down wasn't working out.

Shouldn't exist entirely?

[ ? ] They do realize that would end in their own destruction?

They're aware of it. That's just what they want.

I'll ensure they won't get their way once I'm back.

Well, now. Spoken like a true hero.

[ but also damn im sorry you gotta deal with that snake? that's rough buddy. me going :thonk: at my screen. ]

Is that a title you would give yourself?

I'm quite content with the title that I have.

[ so, no. thinking about being chosen makes him wrinkle his nose internally but his face is a placid smile as ever. ]

[ Their expression is thoughtful. ]

I wouldn't call myself a hero either.

And what would you style yourself as, then? [ a beat, and then, lightly: ] Besides Amethyst Snake.

I'm an investigator.

[ friendship ended with rabbit snake is my best friend now (no)

he looks so interested immediately, face lighting up. ]

Well, now. A kindred spirit, in a manner of speaking. [ hehe ] What do you investigate?

Is being part of the church only your day job?

I take whatever cases grace my door, and a few that are relevant to me.

[ :looking: is that my best girl? is that my best girl?

he chuckles a little, sitting back in his chair and nodding. that sounds so fun! but! temenos tilts his head, back and forth. ] Mmm. Well... what do you think the duties of a cleric might be?

[ They watch him as he does this. ]

I'm not religious myself. Assisting the ailing?

Sometimes, though that usually falls in line with apothecaries.

[ temenos is a healer but he will not heal you if you're a dumbass and this is a fact of life

but! ]

I do your more standard duties of the church; guide lost lambs onto the proverbial path, give sermons, teach Sunday school and scripture here and there, but, I am no standard cleric. Rather, as you style yourself an investigator, I'm an Inquisitor.

[ This guy does Sunday school? ]

I see. Skills like that serve people well in all sorts of situations. Did something push you on the path of becoming an Inquisitor or was it a calling for you?

[ yeah! he's great at it! (?) ]

Hmm. I wouldn't say it was a push, but perhaps a bit of both. I was chosen for the position by the Pontiff a few years ago.

Above all, my interest as the inquisitor lies in finding the truth.

Interesting.

[ The information gets tucked away. ]

How often are you able to find it?

[ he smiles, just a little more. ]

I find that finding the truth often leads to uncovering many more questions. Pulling a single thread never unravels the entire tapestry.

It sounds like we have similar experiences.

I've a feeling we might have quite a bit in common, by title alone.

[ hee hee. ]

What brought you to becoming an investigator?
