[ it's definitely one of those topics thats mostly horrifying but also definitely one of those 'it sounds like you read too much fantasy.' Fortunately, Vergil being someone who has 36 years of normal life under his belt and now about 1 year of the supernatural

...he's hesitant to doubt much of anything, anymore. ]

Like a messed up Mandela effect. Everything in the world seems right except one small detail that makes the rest of the world seem like something is deeply wrong with it.

[ and for the first time, Vergil chuckles. It's a low, two-note thing. But it's there. ]

[fionnuisce]

Yeah, something like that. [He smiled in a way that was more of a smirk, again shrugging with one shoulder.] To be completely honest, it was the least of my problems at the time I happened to see her, so I just sort of accepted it and moved on.

Then I thought about it later and realized it was extremely weird.

[kowase]

And I am guessing by the time you managed to figure out that it was strange, it was too late to ask her anything.

What a pity, honestly.

I would have loved to know how different her life was from lore.
...How Mordred came to exist. IF Mordred was even able to exist.

[fionnuisce]

I can definitely confirm that the legends about Mordred exist in my world in much the same form, for whatever that might be worth. Whether those are also grounded in fact somewhere is...

[you can hear the '????????????' in how he trailed off]

...Yeah, I can't begin to guess and don't think I want to know.

[kowase]

Perhaps a case of, in this one specific instance, 'some things are best left up to mystery and the imagination.'

Not usually my favorite thing as a historian, but this one time, I will default to it.

[fionnuisce]

[He laughed under his breath, shaking his head.]

Fair enough, certainly. I'm not about to question it further.

[kowase]

I suppose I should offer you thanks for bringing me such an interesting tale, in any case.
While my interests are focused in physical items like in this shop, knowledge of things I did not have hitherto conversations like this are valuable, as well.

While some of the details are ... odd, I feel I have gained something, at least.

[fionnuisce]

Oh, it's nothing. I don't usually get to talk about this kind of thing with someone that has an academic understanding of the idea, so this is actually pretty entertaining.

[kowase]

Well then, if that is the case.

Feel free to drop in any time.

...

This store is more of a hobby than me actually making money from it. I am far more interested in customers who come to chat about like interests than those who come in to try to pawn off fakes to me or claim my wares are not worth their price. [ being rich has its perks, ]

[fionnuisce]

...That sounds like fun, actually. [SOCIAL LINK GO] I think you can definitely expect me to come by when I'm in the area.

[kowase]

I look forward to your regular patronage in the future, then.

But for now...

[ maybe time to go return to his display of celtic trinkets and mostly-immaculate spearheads that haven't been mounted upon new wood... ]
