[You'd think Dave would have learned his lesson about anonymity, but maybe learning doesn't stick so well at ass in the morning when he can't sleep. At least it doesn't seem like he's really trying to mask his identity, here. It's just...a plausible deniability thing, maybe. Probably, given the content of his message.]

[text]

Not that much earlier. I can promise you I'm not a dinosaur.

[callbacks]

so
uhh
are we talking like more than ten centuries bc because im pretty fuzzy on shit that happens before like
1980

[text]

[solas_ion]

It was definitely before 1980, kid. I'm talking about medieval Ireland here.

[text]

[callbacks]

oh thats neat
i dont know much about the history of ireland in particular though
as far as ancient crap goes i mostly kind of got inundated with the typical greco roman bullshit and some welsh stuff

[text]

[solas_ion]

I've known a few Greek heroes, actually. One's pretty aggravating, and one didn't talk much. The third wasn't too bad though.

[text]

[callbacks]

was one of them hercules

[text]

[solas_ion]

Yeah. He was the one that didn't talk much--long story there, lot of magic bullshit.

[text]

[callbacks]

isnt that always how it is
what about gods did you know any gods

[text]

[solas_ion]

Met a few, related to a couple. They're kind of a pain for the most part.

[text]

[callbacks]

is hephaestus really just a huge flaming angry guy yelling about swords or did my universe just make that up

[text]

[solas_ion]

Not my pantheon, afraid I've never met the guy.

Honest opinion though? That's probably just about right.

what abouuuut
welsh shit
do you know welsh shit i mean im aware theyre different nationalities slash political entities

[text]

[solas_ion]

I've got a rough idea of most countries' mythology, but my recollection could be a little rusty.

[all servants are technically myth nerds, txt it.]

What do you want to know?

[text]

[callbacks]

whats a caledfwlch and how the fuck are you supposed to pronounce it

[text]

[solas_ion]

[Oh.]

[...oh.]

It's another name for Excalibur. You know, King Arthur's sword?

I think it's something like kah-leh-d-voo-l-ch, but fuck if I know a thing about Welsh.

[text]

[callbacks]

oh



shit

[text]

[solas_ion]

The astoundingly eloquent reply leads me to think maybe that was significant.

[text]

[callbacks]

is that the one he had to pull out of the thing

[text]

[solas_ion]

No, that's Caliburn. Excalibur's the one she got from the Lady of the Lake, if I remember right.
