This place you're considering...well, considering isn't the right word. Set upon, I suppose would be better...anyway!

Truth be told, messere, I'm quite excited! The technologies of future times alone would be enough to gain my interest, to say nothing of la comunità itself. It all seems so fascinating! It will hardly disrupt my work, either--unlike other options. If anything, it will further it, provide inspiration... I like it!

[a pause.]

... Ezio Auditore will be there? Then all the more reason to go! He seemed a good sort. I'd quite like to speak with him again.

Va bene. Andiamo!

[Leonardo is jazzed as hell for this.]

Maybe with some luck you can help me explain things to Ezio. Because so far it's looking like electronic doors are going to be a real challenge.

[decodes]

Perhaps, though I would... mi scusi?

[yeah, no points for guessing where you lost him. sob, if you sat Leonardo down with a technical explanation of most of this shit he'd get it almost immediately, but electricity isn't even a word yet back home.]

[iseedeadpeople]

[In this moment, Desmond has officially given up.]

It's magic. It's a magic door that opens by itself.

[decodes]

[To be fair, a lot of the problem here is probably the fact Desmond is trying to do the explaining.]

Now, that's just patronizing.

[iseedeadpeople]

[That's all the problem, let's be real.]

Okay, it's like... [How the fuck do you explain electricity. THIS IS HARD.......] Uh. Lightning? It's less powerful lightning and it makes things move? [youtried.png]

[decodes]

[true...]

... I think that I understand. It is channeled somehow, sì? Like a water wheel.

[Desmond definitely tried, but Leonardo at least has the basic idea now.

Even if he had to kind of make the leap himself.]

[assassin_ezio]

Signore Leonardo. What a surprise.

[decodes]

Ezio Auditore! How good to see you again. Come state?

[assassin_ezio]

Leonardo. Likewise, my friend. [He clapped his old friend on the back.] I am fine.

Have you built anymore inventions for me?

Ah, a simple alphanumeric cipher...

[a brief moment, then he laughs a little.]

Sì.

[Hi, Leo. Here's Ezio. Who unfortunately won't know you when you arrive SOBBING.]

...for some odd reason, my mondana is laughing. [Pause.] And she is almost falling out of her chair. [HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY.]

/two months late.........

[WELL IF I EVER GET AROUND TO IT HE WILL NOW......]

I would say to take that as a bad sign, but it can be very difficult to tell with mundanes...
