Who: Thrawn (admiralchiss) & YOU

What: Thrawn explores this new world he's found himself in.
When: Month of July
Where: Library and Town Plaza
Warning(s): TBA


The Library
Thrawn figures that a good place to start is the library. Some from his galaxy might be confused at the lack of datapads and digital books, but Thrawn's seen and even read such books before. There's a few worlds in the galaxy that still make books like this. He also knows how to use a card catalog, which he's currently flipping through.

"Let's see, art history..."

Town Plaza
He makes for an odd sight at the moment. Because he's standing at the edge of the Town Plaza, staring at the Temple of Sacred Roots, like some kind of blue statue. His face is one of concentration as he takes in the architecture, absorbing the details and reading it like he does any kind of art. It's an important structure, he can tell right off the bat, dedicated to gods of nature, perhaps.

"Interesting architecture."

Thrawn turns to the one who spoke, his face impassive, red eyes briefly giving the tentacled being a once-over. He looks like he could be related to a Quarren, though Thrawn's quite sure he's a different species. The tentacles are too long, the eyes are different, as is the shape of the head, and even the way he's dressed is atypical of a Quarren. The bulbous head is actually more like a Mon-Calamari's.

He pulls the card out of the drawer and closes it once he's done.

"I wish to study the artwork that the locals have produced throughout history, and then compare it to more modern pieces."

[mindflayed]

"Are any of the remaining artisans local? I was under the impression that most of the population had come here from elsewhere, pulled in to help sustain the town." But he'd only been here a short while, he doesn't have a solid understanding of who's indigenous to the location or not.

[admiralchiss]

"Perhaps not, but I intend to find out." Reading the card, he makes his way over to the nonfiction aisle to find what he needs. He starts pulling books off the shelf.

[mindflayed]

Imbros floats over to the history section to further his own research, "Do let me know if you find anything about local geography, either historic or modern. I'm trying to ascertain more about the landmass that can be seen from the pier."

[admiralchiss]

"Of course," Thrawn scans the spines of the book quickly and points to one with geography in the title. "Start on that shelf, perhaps." He grabs one more book, making a total of five in his arms at the moment.

"Have you any theories about that landmass?"

[mindflayed]

"Only that there must have been trade between the two of them at one point before the barrier. It'd be interesting to find out what exports were traded between them. That might inform if that barrier was erected by an external force, for economic reasons." He pulls one of the books off the shelf, skimming the table of contents as he speaks, "Or prove that it wasn't that at all. Eliminating possibilities is equally as important."

[admiralchiss]

"That it is. One must consider all possibilities. Likewise, if I find any clues to your inquiry within the artwork, I will be sure to share them." He takes his books over to a nearby table and sets them down.

[mindflayed]

"Appreciated." He peruses the shelves for while, picking through the titles looking for anything that might be informative. Gathering them up in his arms and his tentacles, glancing back at his fellow researcher as he leaves, "May your ambition be rewarded."

[admiralchiss]

"And yours as well," Thrawn nods politely at the tentacled being before sitting down and opening the first of the books in his stack.
