@Roz I’m picturing the beginning of a Charlie’s Angels movie where they list each member’s specialties.
We need some good crossover with 1930s pulp novels so my obscure and otherwise useless knowledge of mummy tattoos can come into play at exactly the right moment.
-
I’ve googled much worse things as a librarian than for RP. I did once research medieval instruments for a ridiculous scene with @helvetica involving a sackbut and a lot of miming.

together, we could take over the world, guys
And sacrifice it to the Devil while high on wolfsbane.

@Tori “NO YOU WOULD NOT CALL IT ‘TANZANITE’ you’d call it TWILIGHT STONE or something. GOD.”
Damn you Tiffany’s straight to hell!
(except at C’mas time - momma needs to get the girl spawn fancy earrings)The amount of times I’ve excitedly found a nifty blue stone name, only to discover it is found in some far-flung RL land wholly impossible to pass for or be found around Arx as semiprecious…
she/her, them/they - not super particular
I have been here the whole time
-
The exact sound a bat makes.
Close second: How did ship battles happen before cannons.
-
How many live spiders could reasonably fit into a manila envelope.

The most specific thing I’ve researched for RP was “the application process for a library card in the Grand County Library District in Colorado and the necessary forms of identification.”
-
Double post to add that I was aware at this point that @Tat is a librarian and I was worried I’d get it wrong and look like a fool in front of her.
There is a reason a lot of my poses at that time were rolls Library Science, “Jonathan does library stuff.”

@Rathenhope
Spirit Lake was non-stop Googling small town infrastructure and businesses in Grand Lake, CO. I sometimes wonder if any tech people in that little town were ever like ‘Where the hell are these website hits coming from and why do they care about the high school marching band?’ -
Plausible HVAC-related causes of death.
-
Yearly corn crop rotations and how that affects the surrounding wildlife during colder winter months.
Also, and anyone who knew me on the my turn while playing Magnus on Arx, I got really into being as oddly specific about wild animal herd cultivation, harvesting, and protections as it relates to mammoths.
Some of my fellow players, oddly, thought this was weird sticking point to me, to which I would reply, “THEY ARE CULTUALLY SIGNIFIGANT.”
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

Me. You mean me, with the number of times I went “Angel, if you want to bother staff about things that might help get the House more active, ask about plot. Please don’t send Apostate another 14 pages on the meticulous management of shaggy elephant herds to approve. He does not care.”
-
@Third-Eye I felt a little invasive googling AA meetings in Grand Lake County. I don’t need uhm actually need this, but I’m glad it exsits for those that do? Sorry.
-
How to perform an emergency appendectomy. What does it feel like on <insert hard drug here>. Most recently, what types of tasks do janitors do? Lol
-
How much energy would a goldfish release if it were to explode via nuclear fission.

@Third-Eye The record of the local high school football team going back ten years (and every high school football team in Denver for a particular 4-year period and every Division II college football team in Colorado for the subsequent 4-year period).
