Through the side door if his chambers into the large and very well kept library Duccio sighs while rubbing the bridge of his nose and closing the the tome in front of him, the last of a pile "Well that was very uninformative... Hedge mages and an old pagan harvest deity that its name seems to be lost, what could they want with a site such as that? I just might need to take up this invitation to this other library and see how well curated their selections is... Or maybe I should give up this folly involving the Lupines and just focus on that suspicious noble and chalk it all up to unfortunate if not suspicious timing."

Enki enters the building he seems to shudder for a moment taking the sights in and then approaches Duccio.
"Duccio was it? I believe we have not had the please of a proper introduction."

Duccio looks up from the books in front of him with a smile before getting up to greet the newcomer, "Why yes it is and it seems so, Enki was it?"
Jul 30, 2020 8:59 pm
Enki nods in agreement "That is correct, I must admit I have no had many interactions with Clan Lasombra and was wondering if it would be possible to pick your brain. You seem to me to be a well educated individual and I have many questions."
Jul 30, 2020 10:31 pm
Duccio opens his hands and gestures to the chair next to him, "Well I am always looking to enlighten myself further to all of life's little mysteries so I am open to answering the questions you might have. Although, be warned, knowledge is power so I might not be free to talk of some things but I do wish to establish myself as a cooperative member of this city."
Jul 30, 2020 11:31 pm
Enki nods "I understand that some things will be outside of my reach as of yet. I do wonder what is your clans relation with the source of your unique gift."
Jul 31, 2020 12:45 am
Duccio drums his fingers on the table pondering the questions seemingly lost in thought before speaking, "Well that is an interesting and hard to answer question, even as educated as I am I am still a fairly new member of the clan so I do believe that there is some things that I have yet to prove I am worthy of knowing. With that said I do know of these Angellis Ater heretics along with news about mystics that delve the secrets of the shadows but I have a feeling those are not unknown to you. So simply put our relationship with that darkness is a complicated one, I for one see it as a tool given to us but like any tool is can be misused as well as one can become dependent on it. Why is it that you ask? I may be able to give a more succinct answer."
Jul 31, 2020 1:04 am
Enki leans forward in his seat as Duccio speaks taking all the information in, after Duccio stops he speaks again "It is more of an interest in these ones that delve the shadows in search of secrets you speak. Each of our clans seems to bear a unique gift and it interests me how we explore the origin of this gift."
Enki puts his hand in the air for a moment and the flesh of it ripples like a wave passing over a shoreline "My own clans is...a recent development."
He chuckles to himself as he continues. "You should hear the insanity of some of my clan's elders when they speak of where this gift came from. Old fools scared of change...of metamorphosis."
Enki pauses for a brief moment as though he is reflecting on his own words and then snaps back to the conversation "Tell me dear Duccio, have you ever delved the darkness in search of these secrets ?"

Duccio rests his chin in his hand as he studies Enki speaking with a small inquisitive tilt of his head when the flesh of the other mans hand ripples. When Enki finishes talking Duccio leans back into his chair slightly stroking his chin, "Well it seems you and I will likely get along quite well change is something that is inevitable... I have delved a little bit into what is possible for my gift but I have unfortunately not had the time to dedicate any serious research into its mechanisms."
Jul 31, 2020 3:27 am
Enki smiles as Duccio speaks and then replies.
"Change is inevitable, the world is seeking change and sometimes I fear some have become too set in their ways and on what they believe to be the only path that they lack the courage to travel elsewhere. I believe research is something that more time should be dedicated to, no longer should we focus on false idols of what is and is not possible. We should embrace the unknown and drink deep from the well of knowledge."

Duccio smiles and shakes his head, "Even in my domain the Church has ears so I would be careful on you choice of words as some get uppity at the mention of false idols and embracing the unknown. But yes it seems many who live long lives become numb to the passage of time and see themselves as unchanging thus the world is to unchanged... Such nearsightedness and arrogance. I will say knowledge is just like any other power in such that it must always be tempered and controlled properly as many yet underestimate that damage it can deal."
Aug 1, 2020 3:44 am
Enki smiles "I would not want to anger the church more then my presence already does so in the future I shall choose my words more carefully. Knowledge should be best maintained and grown, perhaps we can discuss more at a later date, I am curious to see and hear more of this darkness your clan harbors. Alas for now I must bid farewell as I have another meeting to attend to." He stands up and bows to Duccio "It was a pleasure to converse with you"
Enki heads out the door and is great by his familiar knight and the two depart down the street.

Enki leavesAug 1, 2020 3:51 am
Duccio stands and see Enki to the door, "It was a pleasure Enki, I wish you safe travels." As the other man leaves Duccio turns to find the head priest Hoekman to discuss future plans and limping his way out of the church.

Duccio LeavesNov 14, 2020 6:37 pm
Isaac enters the building hesitantly. He begins looking around and softly calling "Duccio?"
Nov 14, 2020 11:13 pm
A well adorned priest who looks to be about middle aged approaches Isaac with a warm smile, "Hello there my son, welcome to this Church. Would I be correct in assuming you are looking for Deacon Esposito?"
Nov 15, 2020 1:31 am
"Oh hello yes! I am looking for the Deacon. If you could let him know Isaac is here to see him i would appreciate it."
Nov 18, 2020 10:57 pm
Duccio slowly makes his way into the church while placing a small box into a satchel at his side before noticing Isaac talking to the head priest. "Ah Father Heokman this is my friend Isaac that I have told you about it would seem there is some business that needs to be discussed."
Nov 18, 2020 11:43 pm
Isaac smiles warmly at Duccio
"Hello Deacon! Its lovely to see you this evening. I have mostly come to make you received an invitation to a social gathering."

Duccio smiles "Hello Isaac I hope this night is finding you well. I see, yes I had heard a rumbling of something about a gathering that required my attention thank you for coming all the way here to make sure I was told. It would be regrettable to miss such a gathering due to being poorly informed."
Nov 19, 2020 12:18 am
"I'm glad you heard already! I wouldn't have wanted you to miss it or anyone tasked with relaying messages to be in trouble for not relaying. If you can think of anyone who doesn't know already could you please let them know? I have been helping Gwynne tell everyone."
