The Eagle and Quill Bookstore
[there is a vague layout diagram here of what looks like two floors of the same building. Certain sections are labled: Physical Sciences, Aetherical Sciences, Geology, Mining, Mythology + Legends, Philosophy, History, Biology, and Anatomy. The second diagram has no labels. Next to it is written 'OLD']
[At the end, there is another diagram here, scribed much more elaborately and precisely, of what might be the previous layout. Everything is neatly labeled, and it looks like a valid map and floorplan in itself. There is a note near it with an arrow pointing to it that reads 'Use This One']
- Rachelle Aquilloux
- Manager
- May be Duskwight?
- Her Family name is not familiar to me [blot]
- Seems kind enough
- Has a coeurl kitten
- Seeks to hire me as a scribe
- Agreement
- I will split the profits for scribework
- From those who come into the store seeking such services, profits will be split.
- Outside commissions are my own.
- I will take Trades of Knowledge as I please.
- However, I will help with mending tomes, or binding new ones for the store as needed in exchange.
- Thoughts on this
- Higher-end gil commissions (of those who enter the store seeking them) I will split.
- Lower-end gil commissions (of the same) I will keep, as per to recoup material costs (especially since they have none here, it seems).
- Trades of Knowledge are my own, though I will certainly give the Knowledge that I think may help those in the store.
- I will pay all manner of 'rent' should it be needed.
- I will mend tomes on request of the managers and assistants for nothing in return.
- I will create blank books on request for the Quill for nothing in return.
- The place alotted to me will be a study for my work.
- I will bring in customers to the store on my own accord; typically those who'd enjoy the tomes as much as I~
- It sounds that they will help me advertise as well, somehow, though I know not the details on this beyond what Sanoe already does.
- Dietrala Verglace
- Nervous Miqo'te woman
- Seemed to have trouble speaking when she arrived.
- pouts often
- has a close relationship with Rachelle
- one of her best assistants
- Apparently one named Khairi is also an assistant
- Has a crystal stuck in her cheek
- reacts painfully to ice Aether (or my shifting anomolies)
- has been there for two years
- keeps it covered with a bandage
- speculates a heated bandage would solve the issue?
- needs to keep it warm, perhaps an opposing countermeasure is somehow the solution [blot]
- Mention of one named Danasorian
- would apparently have a 'pissy fit' over something
- Dietrala is sleeping with Khairi
- [blot] Unsure if that is literally, or [blot]
- Maybe both, considering.
- Dietrala doesn't want a proper room
- currently resides in storage with Khairi
- Dietrala showed me about

- Previous Manager
- "Our previous owner was good, but... she sorta killed a lot of people."
- "Raynard was trouble."
- "By the way... if you find a book in circulation writ by a Zerayya al Rahal? That's her. I suggest not reading it... or, at least, not trying out what is in her book."
- Dietrala claims that's 'above my paygrade'.
- ... I can't help but be terribly amused by that, considering what my 'paygrade' is on my own.
- Advice and Request by Dietrala
- "If you see a scruffy Wildwood man with a big spear sitting out front or downstairs, that's probably Exantraux. If it's not? Kill him with fire."
- Conversation between Rachelle and Dietrala:
R: "Please don't do that, love, I need him whole."
D: "I said if it's not Exantraux!"
R: "They're probably customers then! Don't kill the customers! We had enough killing here!"
D: "NYEHHH." (in defiance)

- Question (Rachelle asked)
- "How good are you at removing ensorcelled ink? One made of spoken blood, specifically."
- I mentioned it depends what it was on, but that it could be done.
- Reply: "... I'll ask for your help sometime, maybe. Let's just say Miss Reynard left... a lot of things behind."
