Lost Legacies Gameplay Thread (Ending March 16)

spammy,  spammy, third post today (but last for this week, no worries)

The next day Gavin sought out the Royal Envoy at the library. She seemed genuinely surprised that he was here, too, and quickly left, leaving the investigator with a reminder:

"Remember, if you find any clues as to the heirlooms whereabouts, don't tell anybody but me! The principality wishes to avoid embarassment and drawing mass attention."

"Now that was more fishy than Tina's bucket contains every morning", Gavin murmured to himself, referring to Jin's mother, an avid fisher.

Reasoning that the envoy had not expected Gavin so soon, and that she hadn't wanted him to see what exactly she had been doing, Gavin sat down at the same computer station she had sat when he had entered. Unfortunately the envoy had already logged out.

"Mhm, this is a local library. As a foreign diplomat, she probably has neither a membership card nor an online account. Login Name: Guest. Password..."

Gavin looked around and found a post-it note that said "The PW for guest logins is 12345". Thirty seconds later he could see the guest account's search history sorted by date. Strangely enough the last user - aka the envoy - hadn't researched Principality or Darong family details, but the history of this exact building.

"We've just upgraded this person's fishy-level from Tina's morning bucket to a full weekend trip to Moonwood Mill!" Gavin muttered.

And then he noticed that Poe and Finn had been looking over his shoulder with unveiled interest the whole time...

The next event task was "Ask about Darong family". While thinking which of my townies might be knowledgeable about that topic, I noticed how enthusiastic Poe was about the treasure hunting, so I picked him.

Poe: "i don't know much about that family, but the Envoy talked about them and about art."

Gavin: "To you? Or to herself?"

Poe: "To the library staff, man!"

Finn: "Come! We can show you the bookcases they pointed her to."

The envoy not having a library card turned out a boon! Gavin was able to browse each and every book she had looked into, nothing was missing.

He learned that the Darong family had been almost obsessed with restoring a certain painting and rumors about a "treasure" hidden in this building. But did "treasure" really refer to the painting?

Gavin decided to take two of the books home to study them more thoroughly and get the opinions of his friends. When he grabbed the first, he felt a bump in the spine and when he ran his finger across it, a silvery key slid out. He pocketed it, then carried the books to checkout as to not draw attention.
