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?

[...] me neither. [...] usually by now i reached the "i'm gonna go smoke a joint n listen to tegan n sara" copin mechanism, i'm just tryin to talk through it cause i know it's important to you but i know i'm sc [...] bein me. about shit.

good ~~what's "this"~~

Edited 2024-03-05 03:52 (UTC)

I don't mean to...force you to do anything or, pressure you or something. But [...] thanks, it is important to me. And I really care about you Bracken, I feel like this is more about how you see yourself than anything.

Great.

~~so that's "on my knees in a few hours"~~ ~~see i feel like it's more about your siblings decidin i ain't worth~~ you realized yet that you put up with an awful lot of my bullshit

Yeah, I'm aware. You put up with a lot of mine too. And?

it's like one cow pat of yours for every four of mine

What are you trying to do here Bracken?

point out that you do lots for me n every time you're like "i care about you" n every time i put up with yours idk if i do that. i don't think i do

And is your hope that in pointing this out, I suddenly wake up and break this off? It's easy for me to tell people I care about them, I do it loudly and often. I'm not holding it against you that it might not be the same for you and I don't have expectations. But if you don't think that you do, and it's bothering you, why don't you?

[...] jesus christ i was workin up to say i care about you too and like [...] thank you for shit can we not pull out the nuclear option

Edited 2024-03-05 04:33 (UTC)

I wasn't going nuclear, I just didn't know where you were going with this ~~I'm still trying to read B~~.

But, you do. That's very nice.

assumin i'm tryin to make you ~~DUMP M~~ break shit off's nuclear. don't fuckin do that unless i say "i wanna break shit off" like ~~what the hell~~ it kinda hurts that THAT'S where you're gonna go

Bracken, I didn't honestly think that ~~Christ's sake~~ ~~Go back and read what~~. You've been doing a lot of what reads like you're trying to come up with reasons this doesn't work or to somehow remind me that maybe this isn't...[...] I'm sorry for how I came off, okay? I wasn't actually assuming that but I said it and I'm sorry I hurt you.

[...] ~~maybe this isn't what~~

[...]
ok. [...] ok. i ain't [...] used to thinking of myself some ways and i'm workin on it but i might've taken feelin less than out on you. ~~but~~ sorry
i care about you a lot ~~you fuckin~~ you're pretty much my closest person here and i ain't really used to that neither

I know I can be intense about things, about people. [...] If I can help you work some of those things out, I'm here. I care about you a lot too, beyond anything physical. You're important to me.

you're already doin that plenty idiot

Well good, asshole. I'll be over soon
