[inquired]

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

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

[becomemod]

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

[inquired]

Shouldn't exist entirely?

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

[becomemod]

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

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

[inquired]

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. ]

[becomemod]

Is that a title you would give yourself?

[inquired]

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. ]

[becomemod]

[ Their expression is thoughtful. ]

I wouldn't call myself a hero either.

[inquired]

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

[becomemod]

I'm an investigator.

[inquired]

[ 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?

[becomemod]

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.

[inquired]

[ :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?

[becomemod]

[ They watch him as he does this. ]

I'm not religious myself. Assisting the ailing?

[inquired]

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.

[becomemod]

[ 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?

[inquired]

[ 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.

[becomemod]

Interesting.

[ The information gets tucked away. ]

How often are you able to find it?

[inquired]

[ 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.

[becomemod]

It sounds like we have similar experiences.

[inquired]

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

[ hee hee. ]

What brought you to becoming an investigator?

[becomemod]

[ Heehee. ]

Hmm... It's something I'm used to doing.

[inquired]

Oh? In what regards?

[ fascinating ]

[becomemod]

Finding the truth and looking for answers, essentially.

[inquired]

Then, I imagine on that matter among others, we'll get along quite well.

[ heh. ]

You know, my dear assistant is an amethyst snake of her own. She often tells me it's quite difficult to work with a detective.
