1 nq310503_msg0001 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Excuse me, but would you
happen to be Leeanne?
2 nq310503_msg0002 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I would indeed. Can I help you?
3 nq310503_msg0003 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Wellwell told us that you're the person
who wrote The Founders' Tale.
4 nq310503_msg0004 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Goodness! To think that our generation
of Ouroboros would take an interest in
my humble scribbles!
5 nq310503_msg0005 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Basically, we don't really
get this whole "novel" thing.
6 nq310503_msg0006 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Ahaha, of course, of course.
That's only natural.
7 nq310503_msg0007 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I believe there isn't much in the way of
printed storytelling outside the City, correct?
8 nq310503_msg0008 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yes, I'd say so...
Is it something like a diary?
9 nq310503_msg0009 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hmm... Well, you're not entirely wrong,
in that I'm trying to recreate in detail
the lives of the Founders...
10 nq310503_msg0010 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But it's different from a real diary,
because I've made most of it up.
11 nq310503_msg0011 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What do you mean, you made it up...?
12 nq310503_msg0012 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Well, to put it simply...
It's sort of all lies.
13 nq310503_msg0013 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What?! You just pulled it
out of your arse?
14 nq310503_msg0014 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Of course, I do strive to the best of
my ability to make sure it hews close
to the truth.
15 nq310503_msg0015 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 There are so few documents and materials
left in the City from the Founders' times.
16 nq310503_msg0016 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So regardless, I would always have had
to weave guesses and interpretations
into my work to fill the gaps.
17 nq310503_msg0017 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...That said, it's probably time
to lay down my pen.
18 nq310503_msg0018 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What do you mean? You don't
want to write any more?
19 nq310503_msg0019 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Imagination has its limits. I find I've come
to the end of the line. I just don't know
where I'd take the story from here.
20 nq310503_msg0020 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But you're mega popular, ain't you?
Doesn't everyone love your novels?
21 nq310503_msg0021 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 They do, which is why I've been
hoping for inspiration to strike...
22 nq310503_msg0022 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Though, you could say inspiration
really has dropped from the heavens
right in front of me.
23 nq310503_msg0023 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Pardon?
24 nq310503_msg0024 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 This truly is serendipity. Would you mind
helping me conquer my writer's block?
25 nq310503_msg0025 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Block...?
26 nq310503_msg0026 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Today's just a day for learning
new concepts, I suppose...
27 nq310503_msg0027 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 According to the records, the
six Founders traveled throughout
the world looking for a new land.
28 nq310503_msg0028 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I've managed to pinpoint the exact
locations they visited on their journey,
to help further my research.
29 nq310503_msg0029 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Unfortunately, I lack the robust
constitution to be a soldier. Would
you visit those places in my stead?
30 nq310503_msg0030 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What exactly d'you want us to look for?
31 nq310503_msg0031 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hmm, let me see... If you happen upon
anything that looks out of the ordinary
there, you could bring it back.
32 nq310503_msg0032 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm trying to see if there's anything out
there beyond the information we have
in the records.
33 nq310503_msg0033 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What are the locations
you'd like us to look at?
34 nq310503_msg0034 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The Distant Fingertip and the
Dannagh Desert in the Fornis
region would be a great start.
35 nq310503_msg0035 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Then a couple of places in Pentelas:
the Ruins of Seebu, and the
Old Cliffside Way.
36 nq310503_msg0036 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Finally, a place in Cadensia
called the Eternal Canopy.
And that should be all.
37 nq310503_msg0037 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 So you're asking us to go to
all those places? Seriously?
38 nq310503_msg0038 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Get all your hardships out of the way
while you're young. Once you get old, you
can't do the fun stuff even if you want to.
39 nq310503_msg0039 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I can't hold anything much heavier than
a pen these days. Curse this old body!
40 nq310503_msg0040 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...We'll help you. And we'll report
back if we find anything.
41 nq310503_msg0041 bl1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Thank you. I'll be waiting to
hear back from you young folk!
