un: leonardo da vinci

I had a wonderful and unexpected surprise in my house this morning! Several boxes full of supplies that I can use in the north village forge. I know Signore Tony and his companions are doing wonderful work in the south, so I will be working on other projects up here. If you have need of a blade inform me, it seems especially necessary after such an ordeal with people stranded in dangerous situations! If you have a blade but wish it to be sharpened or stronger, I can assist.

I am also working on patching up and upgrading the boats in the nearby water, I thought perhaps it would be helpful to have a stable boat to go to the intriguing pod that brings one to the underground area. If anyone is willing to donate wood to the cause I would be most appreciative!

[Filtered to: Malik, Jacob, Ezio, Altaïr]

I received supplies that will be perfect in making the hidden Assassin blades! I would be happy to put one together for each of you. I also have the material to make a reasonably acceptable gauntlet to attach it to. Signore Altaïr, I have yet to meet you, but I must say I would be honored to meet you, as I decoded your codex pages and they were extraordinary.

[Filtered specifically to Ezio]

And yes, of course, yours is being done first.

I'll get back to you on weights. They can frankly be the lowest of priorities. May ultimately be better to just borrow things from people who get real weapons made. Anyway, I can draw up specs on what I'd want.

Given the situation and limitation on metal, I suppose a boar spear will be enough. But if I ever get the luck to get metal too from our captors, I would literally pay you in it to make a proper halberd head.

There is a mine here that I've heard of. Tony Stark is the one you'd want to talk to about that. Or some guy called Altair. I think he knows where it is.

They are more likely to be what we use if there is an abundance of material later on.

I do love a challenge. I have seen them many times but never designed one myself. The boar spear will be fun! If you want me to design it with you in mind it might be wise to have your measurements.

Signore Altaïr! I am hoping to meet him soon.

Don't design it with me in mind. I just need the general head shape. I'll get a staff for it to go on that will be strong enough.

I sort of NEED to go out there and hunt down something a few times my size. I haven't had a chance in months and it's driving me mad.

Wait... you react like that over Altair but you haven't met him? Are you one of his descendants or something?

Consider it done. This is exciting! Do be careful though. Boars can be very vicious, as I imagine you know.

No, no, but I read many of his papers. It was hundreds of years ago. I studied his work, what Ezio and I could find of it.

I know. Which is why I need the specialized spear. One person suggested I use a normal spear. As if I want to be killed.

Ezio... Supposedly very attractive man who gets around a lot but doesn't have time for a good, proper spot of guy on guy action? That Ezio?

Sounds like someone who has never hunted one. It is said swines are very intelligent for beasts.

Ezio is attractive, but he has action with other men frequently, he is an excellent combatant.

Exactly what I thought. And damn if they don't have a sense of revenge if they are anything like Behemoths.

I meant he doesn't sleep with other men. He isn't gay or bi.

Behemoth? Such as in the Bible?

Hm I don't know that I would call him gay, but he does have his cheerful moments! How do you know of him?

I have no clue what a 'Bible' is, but I'm talking about monsters from the moon. And I'm not even going to talk that out because WOW are you trying to avoid this.

Gay. As in homosexual. As in a man who has sexual intercourse with other men. Like me. Or Bisexual. Men or women who will have sexual intercourse with either sex.

I mean, I guess you don't have to go for full penetrative. Intercrucial can be satisfying if hands are in play too. Oral works if the guy knows how to use his mouth well.

[Brain. Break.]

No, he is not that.

I've been informed that your time is a bit sheltered and judgemental of homosexual men. If anything I said offends you then, I don't know, accept that people are just what they are and move on.

Because you're not going to run into a shortage of people here who have affections for the same gender. And they have as much right to share their feelings and bodies with those they care about as straight people do.

And I know of the guy from a description from a descendant of his.

[Brain. Break. Times. Ten.]

It doesn't offend me. Are you saying that it is not illegal here?

Serious question. From what I'm learning from Desmond, it sounds like in your time people could be jailed or killed for this. Which would mean you have spent your life mostly in the closet, right?

Oh fuck.

Uh, that's a term a lot of people use for 'gay but not openly so'. Because it seems a reasonable conclusion to me.

[PANIC.]

You must understand, this is not something I speak of. I chose to live my life without complications and that was fine.

If anyone here EVER tries to give you trouble for it, you come find me. I'll knock them down a few pegs. Or Bull will. Hell, there are more than a few of us that wouldn't stand for that sort of blatant homophobia here.

But I won't say anything about you. Outing someone else really isn't cool. And if you ever need someone to talk to, just message me, okay?

I don't have any intentions of giving anyone reason to trouble me. I appreciate the concern, you are very kind.

I am pleased to know that you and others were able to be who you are safely and openly.

You're going to have to spell it out clearly, bud.

I'm getting that.

General warning though he's from a time where gay people were jailed or killed. Just getting ahead of that if he panics.

Uh... whoops?

Also what the actual fuck? It's just sex!

Dude you have no idea. People STILL get jailed and killed in my time for it, and we're over five hundred years in the future. Our world's got serious issues. Closer to Altair's time, they were a little less awful about it, for whatever reason, but religion's probably why it all got bad.

I mean, we have prejudices against it, and not everywhere can gay people get married, but what the actual fuck?

I keep thinking religion is a mistake. Sex is sex. It happens.

Obviously I agree with you, but it was pretty dangerous back in the day. Leo there got arrested for it once. Ezio implied later on in his life that he knew, but they never talked about it.

Every major religion in our world forbids it, so all these places that are based on religions then make it into law.

Yeah, now I'm triple down for fuck religions, and I don't care if you subscribe to one.

It's sad, but I'm starting to think Hyne is better than your 'Earth'.

Me? Ha. No. The Order wasn't a religious cult. People in it were religious sometimes, but it wasn't necessary. I've spoken to our version of 'gods' too, so I'm not terribly impressed.

I mean, it has ups and downs, but there is the lack of monsters everywhere. Then again, there still are, they're just real quiet about it.
