1st Duel [Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

[On his quest to find out just where the hell he is, Hawke stumbles upon the library. It's a rather fortunate find in his opinion. A book would do wonders to help with his boredom, at least for a little while. Not to mention this is the perfect place to find information about his temporary place of residence.

Unfortunately, after about an hour of searching Hawke hasn't found anything. There's not even something here worth reading. What kind of library doesn't have Hard in Hightown? At this point Hawke would even take one of Isabela's books.]

The library here is a bit...lacking. Unless you need over a hundred ways to cook corn. Then you've hit the jackpot.

Lacking, you say? What is it that you seek?

Something entertaining, or even better, a map.

[Couldn't hurt to ask.]

[audio]

[blackantiquas]

You mean to say that you do not find research entertaining?

[Is he teasing? Is he serious? Who can tell?]

There is, however, a map. [He gives Hawke some very, very detailed instructions about where it is. Go go go, Hawke!

However, when Hawke finds it, he'll learn that it's extremely rudimentary. It gives a general overview of the layout, but there are almost no notes and there is a severe lack of detail.

It's signed with Tom Harris.]

About as entertaining as cleaning up after my dog.

[Hawke follows the directions and sure enough he comes across the map. There's a bit of disappointment when he finds it. He's hoping for something for a little less basic.]

This will be a help...sort of.

[He'll just have to fill it in himself.]

Who's Tom Harris?

[blackantiquas]

Tom Harris was a mapmaker. He did not get terribly far in his efforts, though, as I'm sure you've seen.

You are welcome to copy or add to it as you see fit, so long as you do not destroy the original copy.

And what happened to him?

I'll care for it like a newborn babe.

[audio]

[blackantiquas]

He could not be saved.

A... hundred ways to what?

Audio

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

To cook corn. You'd be surprised just what you can do with it. I know I was.

Audio

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

No, what's... corn, exactly?

Audio

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

You're...you're joking right?

[Hawke can understand people not knowing Kirkwall, or Ferelden, or even Thedas, but corn? It's corn! Who doesn't know that!? Even a dwarf would know what corn is!]

Audio

[turian_honor.livejournal.com]

Um... no.

I'm not.

It's a yellow vegetable that grows from the ground. How do you not know that?

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

Library.

[PING! He has her full attention. Hawke might be able to pick up on the eagerness in her voice.]

Where? I don't care how bad it is.

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Good, then you won't have to lower your standards.

It's across the field behind the barracks.

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

Libraries are hard to access where I'm from.

[Not that it's stopped her from breaking in from time to time.]

I'll take what I can get. Thanks.

[She sounds pretty darn pleased.]

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

[Hawke's more than happy to help.]

I'm sure by week's end you'll know every use for corn there is.

[gotyourwallet.livejournal.com]

I'm just excited to have something to read. Even if it is about corn.

[Running to the Library like a sneaky ninja!]

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

[Hawke continues looking through the books.]

And here's one on the ways to properly clean your boots. Just what I always wanted.

[70ftandcounting]

Really?! Over a hundred ways to cook corn?! That's amazing!

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

[Someone is easily impressed.]

At least someone is excited about it.

[70ftandcounting]

I love cooking!

Let's see, where's the library - oh! There!

[Yep, heading that way.]

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Then this must be your lucky day.

[70ftandcounting]

Are there more like that?

[doot doot doot, picking up her hair is a task]

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Well...

[Hawke looks around some more.]

Here's one about the health benefits or plums.
