I'd like to invite any of the Quest Fellows (and the rest of Adventure Society) to join the Adventure Society Knowledge Department for trivia this Tuesday. It's an opportunity for us all to get to know eachother better outside of this building -- a different, probably less bloody kind of sparring, if any of you are game.


[KNOWLEDGE DEPARTMENT]

Good Morning everyone. You may have already seen the newest addition to our lounge - a suspicious gift from the Administration* to help facilitate "better comradery and culture, my dudes." I am hoping it makes our lounge a more welcoming place for you all. You're all brilliant with a lot to share with eachother...and frankly us nerds need to stick together. [...] I've already been made aware that the cushions are incredible deep and fluffy, and that one intern has already disappeared into it and had to be retrieved. Please be careful.

Some reminders and announcements:

• Departmental Meetings will be occurring once a month on Wednesdays. We'll try the next one in the conversation pit if no one is swallowed by it, but otherwise, they'll continue to be held in the employee lounge. Knowledge Department Heads will still be meeting weekly on Mondays.


• Ainslie Grey will be my new assistant. Please include her on any e-mails to me related to the Department.


• We're incredibly lucky to have Barbie join the Library staff as the newest Night Librarian - welcome Barbie! As the library spellwork begins to settle, we will be looking to hire more librarians.


• The Departmental field trip to the grand opening of Godzilla: King Of Monsters at the ROMM (Royal Ontario Museum of Magic) is later this month. If anyone has suggestions of somewhere to go for dinner and drinks after, just let Ainslie know.

(* pretend this is way bigger and 10x more comfortable and fluffier)

[SNOOP TROOP* open to anyone to become part of]

I've been speaking with Elliot, the Head Librarian for Quest Fellowship, and he was incredibly helpful with answering some of the questions we've had [ooc: pretend that Broderick is sharing this as a compiled list of information]

In particular he's shared these safety guidelines (ooc: we don't have guidelines so just assume reasonable typical workplace safety ones) for all authorized Questing Associations, guidelines he says Scantlebury was expelled for when the Society members went missing. As you can see, there's also considerable personal animosity. Has anyone learned anything else? I'm still trying to meet with Baudelaire - was anyone more successful with that?

What does that even mean?

Brasher

[cursorily]

Nevermind. It just means there's not a lot of people I'm comfortable around here yet. [...] Take it as a compliment.

Brasher

[abracadavers]

I do, that you trust me or that you consider me a friend means a lot. I feel the exact same way. And now you're fucked, because I won't leave.

Brasher

[cursorily]

[...] I didn't actually cheat that often at bar trivia.

Brasher

[abracadavers]

I know, you were just being a shit.

Well, I didn't know and don't think I didn't pick up on "that often," but, good. It's the sanctity of the competition, Asher.

Brasher

[cursorily]

It wasn't that. Honestly, it was that the stakes were rarely high enough to make it worth it.

Brasher

[abracadavers]

Can you hear me sighing? I'm sighing.

Do you still feel that way, even being reformed? Or are you happier taking a different path.

Brasher

[cursorily]

You're always sighing at something.

[...] Cheating's bad for you, you know? In a spiritual sense. I don't need it. [...] But I sometimes miss the rush of it all.

Brasher

[abracadavers]

I have great lungs.

[...] I guess. I didn't count you for a spiritual person, if we're honest.

Brasher

[cursorily]

And an irascible countenance! A dangerous combination.

Spiritual's probably not the right word anyway. It just seemed broad enough.

Brasher

[abracadavers]

I'm too angry and willful to die, it has it's benefits. "And another thing..."

Well, whatever you've found, I hope it's made you happier.

Brasher

[cursorily]

I'm not sure that's how it works, but good luck.

It's Sure [...] I found the Adventure Society, how could I not be happier?

Brasher

[abracadavers]

That was almost convincing. You obviously don't need to tell me anything, but I hope you feel you can trust me if it comes down to needing to share something.
