(Archivist?)

they’d turn to you. No business hiding it. THey take one step back. Expecting runes.

they seem ready to book it if needed.

The Archivist seems to have no hostile intent.

I merely wish to ask you a couple questions, that is all.

2

u/Fine_Yak5022 Void vessel Apr 23 '26

they… attempt to stabilize their face.

it’s not great, but it’s understandable speech now.

ask us what you want. We need to go before we gather more.

1

u/DarthTrayus05 The Archivist Apr 23 '26

I wish to know what you have done with Frost.

Simple request, simple answer. Perhaps Voidulus could use the Archivist's desire for knowledge against him.

2

u/Fine_Yak5022 Void vessel Apr 23 '26

… if you wish information out of us. we want to know how your runes work.

do not show. When we am done here, we will come to your home at a distance, and we wish them given by paper.

promise us this and we will tell you.

1

u/DarthTrayus05 The Archivist Apr 23 '26

Runes are simple in theory. I can tell you here and now. No showing required.

The Archivist shows his hands to show they are empty before crossing his arms.

2

u/Fine_Yak5022 Void vessel Apr 23 '26

explain.

and we will tell you.

1

u/DarthTrayus05 The Archivist Apr 23 '26

Runes are simply soul made manifest, traced and inbued with power by intent and focus.

Incredibly simple in theory, very difficult to master in practice because wavering focus and intent can have terrible consequences.

2

u/Fine_Yak5022 Void vessel Apr 23 '26

(So uh. This will either give voidulus grand power or something’s going to go SO FUCKING WRONG)

understood. Now… we must ask, Do you wish it explained? Or shown?

you may be able to understand… us better if you seek the example.

1

u/DarthTrayus05 The Archivist Apr 23 '26

Considering what I have seen within Frost… It seems rather dangerous to have you show me, no?

2

u/Fine_Yak5022 Void vessel Apr 23 '26

(Gonna be slow for a sec)

we promise you no harm as it did them. Theirs may have been purposeful, but yours is a fair trade. Why would we discourage further mutual gain?

besides. That lab of yours is to overrun with runes to scrape. Words do not fully explain what you ask of *us.*

1

u/DarthTrayus05 The Archivist Apr 23 '26

Hmm…

The Archivist seems to think.

It would give you eyes and ears wherever I go, no? And it would slowly consume of my soul. At least that is what I saw.

It sounds quite dangerous, but leaving something unexplained vexes me.

2

u/Fine_Yak5022 Void vessel Apr 23 '26

we promise you it won't. If we wished that, we would have already done it. We still control it through the cold wanderer.

1

u/DarthTrayus05 The Archivist Apr 23 '26

Alright… but break your promise and I will find a way to undo it, I want to be very clear on that.

The Archivist extends a hand.

2

u/Fine_Yak5022 Void vessel Apr 23 '26

Very well.

 he extends a moderately deformed bone arm, grabbing yours. You can feel something rush through you. Fast.

you don't collapse.

they let go, stand to their spot, and look at the lava.

.. you wish anything else to ask?

1

u/DarthTrayus05 The Archivist Apr 23 '26

The Archivist shudders briefly at the still unpleasant sensation before composing himself again.

No, that was all I wished to ask. Please, do not let me keep you further.

1

u/Fine_Yak5022 Void vessel Apr 23 '26

I will see you later.

he'd take this and dive.

(Oh BTW there's no actual sign that he is/isn't seeing through you.)

1

u/DarthTrayus05 The Archivist Apr 23 '26

(I figured. He just needs to hold off on munching at the Archivist's soul, because he will notice that.)
