Out of curiosity, has anyone else been looking into places to live outside of the court/as a second residence? The chaos of the past few weeks suggests that having a place to retreat in the aftermath may not be the worst idea out there.

I ask primarily to see if anyone else has begun the process and has advice on how to go about it.

[boutant]

I think you may have to figure that one out on your own.

[gordianknots]

Damn and here I was hoping for at least a few suggestions on the matte.

[boutant]

College student, remember? I'm very good at being poor.

[gordianknots]

Exactly why I don't want to not compensate you.

[boutant]

Maybe someone in court needs a tutor?

[gordianknots]

I suppose that's a fair trade.

[boutant]

If nothing else, it's a start, right?

[gordianknots]

It is, and adjustments could be made in the future.

[boutant]

Exactly.

Have you been able to find suitable replacements for your usual chemistry set?

[gordianknots]

I've gotten some glass containers that seems suitable, and managed to construct a few frames for holding things over contained fires, but getting to actual chemicals is now the fun part.

[boutant]

Keep me updated? I want to know how it works.

[ And if her team is going to end up building something for him, it would help to know what exactly he may need. ]

[gordianknots]

[Fireproof. Eveything. Probably.]

I definitely will. Honestly, asking for a large supply of chemicals that I don't need to distill might be a good use of those favours occasionally supplied.

[boutant]

[ Don't worry, that's first on her list for everything she builds after seeing what their fellows did to Caer Glaem. ]

I would think so. I've already run out of ideas for things to ask for.

[gordianknots]

Hm. Transportation to somewhere, maybe?

There's a massive library outside either faction, in the northwest, apparently.

[boutant]

Like those fairy rings?

We should find a way to get there.

[gordianknots]

Precisely so.

Hm. Boon request might be the quickest way there.

[boutant]

We would need a way back, though.

Perhaps a way to make our own fairy rings?

[gordianknots]

Those might be worth learning to make period.

Although the other option would be to be very specific with the boon and include a mandatory "I also need a ring to get back." Precise wording and all that.

[boutant]

And no time limits, on top of that.

[gordianknots]

Definitely no time limits. Not that I think being stuck in a massive library would be a terrible thing, but I'm biased.

[boutant]

No, but I expect that someone would miss us eventually.

[gordianknots]

Well then they can just come join us in the library. We can build our own fortifications with library furniture.

Assuming that there is any there, but you know what I mean.

[boutant]

It'd be very flammable. That might be a problem.

[gordianknots]

Very good point
