Archaeology is neat. Apparently art theft and art dealing is the way to go on this planet. Shaun and I teamed up with Xichen and Huaisang to dig around ourselves. [ pun a little intended. ]

Most antique trading here ends up with the objects at the Museum in Vrefesea, and Hortensia seems to have found something significant on her pre-death last dig, an artifact Jove was attempting to sell to a higher bidder than what the Museum was offering. The deal fell through.

The Museum is missing an artifact in the form of a fancy book, with a reward out for its safe return, and Huaisang and I were able to confirm it as the same object Jove was looking to sell. It's an antique book about the early days and people of Novis Nox. The Museum hired a certain Detective Val Pinot to track it down, but no one we spoke to seemed to think he had it in his possession yet.

It looks like there's a good chance this book is the orb. A book orb. The Borb, according to Shaun.
[ yes of course andy is going to roll with that, it's fucking funny. ]

[ she attaches a picture of the borb from the newspaper. shaun helped her figure out how because he's a champ. ]

Viveca said the Borb was in Vrefesea, and Hortensia looks like the last person who physically had it, with the Day family on their way to her funeral. And now Jove is dead, but it's hard to imagine none of the other siblings don't know where the book might be.

[ and that's it, well thought out conclusions are for squares. ]

It's just a "book orb", then. "Borb" would make no sense outside of this one specific conversation.

This is a serious matter. "Ease" is not an excuse for jokes.

I believe our idea of reminiscence are very different.
