I like taking screenshots of games I play. They're not always great and there are many like them, but these are mine.[FAQ] - [Updates Twice Daily, usually] - [mainblog: @surahlia]
Much has been said about the blind Sisters of the Oracular Order. In truth their eyes function just as well as yours or mine. However, they do endeavor to become blind to distractions and frivolities. -- Douglas Harwickle, Historian
I’m just gonna believe that for the debut of the giant owl exhibit, the Royal Conservatory commissioned a novelist to write a series of short stories about the heroic adventures of owl-riding sea pirates. The stories got so popular that some idiot noble tried to import a giant owl as a pet, but it went horribly awry and the owl escaped and terrorized half the city before the grand guard caught it. I also like to think this was the event that inspired that disgruntled owl oil painting.
I need someone to educate me on the lore behind these beasties… and in the event that lore doesn’t exist I will accept headcanons and fanfics.
Are they representatives of different castes in a Pandyssian monkey-vampire coven? Are they a sick joke on the aristocracy, perpetrated by that evil Serkonan Taxidermist who kidnaps people and infects them with bloodflies for some extra blood amber cash? Someone help me out here.
The way Billie says "UGHHHHH these people are sick!" I thought she was professionally disgusted that anyone would think hiding a safe behind a distraught owl painting would be a sufficient thief-preventing measure.
On my second playthrough it occurred to me that she might have been referring to the contents of the safe (the flask of human blood obtained through a murderous occult ritual).
