User Katyahall has entered the room.
Katyahall:
Hello, my name is Katya Hall, from the Ariane Circle.
Katyahall:
We've never met before, but have an… unusual favor to ask you.
Katyahall:
Would you be able to send us a signed copy of one of your books at the Terror Hotel?
Blanche:
A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Katya, and welcome to my humble chatroom. Before continuing, I must ask if you are in an emergency situation and require the book to escape.
Katyahall:
The pleasure is all mine!
Katyahall:
I am thankfully not in danger right now. The Terror Hotel isn't the safest place down here, but I am currently off-duty.
Blanche:
Very well. I'm glad to hear it. Out of curiosity, might I know which team you're a member of?
Katyahall:
I used to work in Team Hippocrates, but I am now in Team Hermes. I'm not sure whether you interacted with us already or not, but we're focused on exploration
Blanche:
I see. I've chatted with some of your colleagues in other teams, with… mixed results, so to speak.
Blanche:
I'm afraid my usual courier is out of commission, sadly, but I should be able to find someone else to deliver a book to you. Is there anything in particular you're looking for?
Katyahall:
Ah, I apologize for the difficulties you might have had with the other teams. We also often have… disagreements between each other. It's hard to work with people who have different views on how to make people safe.
Katyahall:
As for your question, it's for a friend who would love to meet you. I'd say surprise him, he always loves to discover new stuff. He's our historian and a specialist of Lost history, if it helps you.
Katyahall:
Oh, I apologize for the unrelated question, but why is your courrier out of commission? I hope it's not due to one of the more agressive factions out there, they can be brutal to allies of non-humans.
Blanche:
Such disagreements are only natural. No two people are the same, after all, but I'm glad to hear that your goals remain in the right place.
Blanche:
I thankfully happen to have quite a lot of Lost records of historical importance. One of the advantages of having been around since those times, I suppose.
Blanche:
As for my protégé…. well, for starters I do appreciate your concern. Unfortunately, there isn't much to share… It seems as though he's gone missing, though some friends of mine have organised a search. All I can do is sit here and wait, much to my dismay. I don't suppose you've seen him recently, have you?
Katyahall:
Unfortunately, I haven't seen him recently. However, Hermes has a lot of ongoing missions, and I still have some contacts within Hippocrates, so I can check the reports and come back to you if I find anything?
Katyahall:
Actually, do you know where he tends to go usually? Maybe Housekeeping has some information about it.
Blanche:
That would be most appreciated, dear. I do apologize for imposing more work on you, I'm certain you have plenty to tend to yourself, and I thank you for your help… I confess I'm rather concerned, and your efforts are much welcomed.
Blanche:
I'm not entirely sure of where he's been spending his free time lately, I'm afraid. I do value his privacy quite highly, and try not to meddle too much in his affairs. That said… he has recently become engrossed in his studies on Wall Masks, and I wouldn't put it past him to do some field research on the matter.
