*Stands calmly in place as you do*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Of course. I was wondering if you two were going to take your time in making a request.

@Revolutionary

...
*Looks straight up*
It is very pretty.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

*The walls slowly disappear, turning transparent and revealing a perspective from deep underwater somewhere. The lighting turns incredibly dim as a massive behemoth of a fish swims slowly above us, surrounded by a vibrant ecosystem, of smaller looking fish of all sorts of colors and levels of bioluminescence*
It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?
*Is standing in between you and Zoey as if I was there the whole time, admiring the view*

@Revolutionary

*Jumps slightly at your presence*
So you could hear us???

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Well I thought it was like a combination of antique and aquarium. So this person must have really neat old fish or something.

@Zealz

Maybe it's true!
*Speaks aloud to the room*
Do you have an aquarium we can see?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Well I thought the Antiquarian was some sort of holder of fish…

@Zealz

*Tilts my head in curiosity*
...
Wait, Aquarian??
*Belly laughs*
That's good!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

*looks at you shocked*
You heard me?!

@Zealz

*Cackles briefly*
It's pretty quiet in here. Not like there's anything else to hear.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Yeah, that makes sense now. And that seems reasonable!
*looks at the wall and mumbles*
So no fish…

@Zealz

I mean, maybe? I'm not sure what kind of stuff someone who operates a whole pocket dimension of their own would perceive as having value. Someone that powerful and capable could have a collection of living things, possibly?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I don’t know the difference.

@Zealz

Archivists would collect and consolidate information. Antiquarians collect things of rarity, importance, or value. "Antiques". Could include knowledge I suppose, but I feel like it'd probably be distinct, you know?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Oh like your friend’s diary?

@Zealz

Maybe. But I really get the implication that that isn't the sort of thing this person keeps in their "collection". Otherwise, what would really be the difference between an archivist and an antiquarian?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Shower it with code words?

@Zealz

Not really. I was thinking maybe we have to ask for something we want. Something it has... Or that he has.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Yes, shower it with compliments.

@Zealz

Oh. That's definitely not what I was thinking.
