(Door creaks open)
[Scar]
Griiian? Are you in here?
[Grian]
Gah! Scar! What’re you—you scared me!
[Scar]
(Laughs) Whoops! Sorry!
[Grian]
It’s… (Inhales and exhales slowly) It’s fine. What did you need?
[Scar]
Oh, you know me, ever the curious fellow! I was just popping in to see what you’ve been up to!
Ummm…what have you been up to, exactly?
[Grian]
There were these symbols in a statement I was recording, and I know I’ve seen them somewhere before, but I can’t put my finger on it. I’ve been trying to flip through some of these books on ancient texts and peoples, to see if maybe I came across them in uni or something, but nothing is matching.
[Scar]
Ohhh! A mystery! Sounds fun! Can I see? I tend to be pretty good at puzzles!
[Grian]
You know what, sure. Why not.
(Paper sliding)
Here.
[Scar]
Let’s see…
(Pauses)
Hmm…
[Grian]
Anything you recognize?
[Scar]
(Softly) I…
Nope.
(Paper sliding)
No idea what they are. Maybe try some fantasy forums? They could be from a book or a movie, and fan bases tend to be pretty good with stuff like that.
[Grian]
I suppose I could try that next. Thanks for the tip, and for attempting to figure it out.
[Scar]
No problem! Just make sure you don’t spend too long in here! Once you go down a fandom rabbit hole…
