hey guys! happy vday and stuff! quick q!

how much time needs to pass for grave robbing to become archaeology? like, if i pull a gold bracelet out of a pyramid, i've made an archaeological find. if i pull one out of the common graveyard, i'm a dick. whats the waiting period for looting the dead?

[ well he DOES know what flat means but that's related to his other job ]

It does take a significant amount of work to murder a person you are correct.

You should be avoiding it if at all possible.

[escardos]

ahaha theres also that yeah. although magic would make it easier i think.

but humans are valuable parts! thats why murder would be inefficient; you cant throw away something so necessary!

[wait

wait!!! wait-]

Oh dear...

It shames me to say but I've never actually considered this question. I don't want to say it felt obvious, but somehow I just never thought....

oh

It's still stealing if it's from a pyramid.

Don't be mean to dead people.

[escardos]

ehh? so you think that would be being mean to the dead?

[escardos]

are you a grave robber?!

[soft_focus]

Yeah.

They had people bury them with their things.

They should get to keep their things.

[standless]

What?

Oh goodness, no, though I should indeed have clarified-

I was studying for archaeology before coming to this place however! And from what I have heard of my fellows from that time, it is an important and worrisome question indeed.

[descolation]

It doesn't matter what it is. If anybody tried to take something from Desco's daddy's grave, she'd beat them up!

[heromedal]

No.

It is better than doing so for personal profit, however.

[escardos]

it's still murder though?

[escardos]

you use disguises and you use martial arts! that definitely makes you at least 60% british ninja!

[escardos]

so that wouldn't be archaeology? even after hundreds of years?

[escardos]

well, i guess that makes sense. that's why some objects are cursed, right? because they don't want others to take them away.

[escardos]

that's interesting! so why did you stop?

[soft_focus]

Yeah.

Also sometimes because someone wanted to be mean to the dead person, and that's why they're dead.

So don't take their things in case of that either, or you might die.

[standless]

[well

dying didn't help]

Unfortunately family matters intervened, to the point that it became quite impossible to return to those studies.

I've quite a lot of catching up to do now that I'm here actually!

[escardos]

well, i don't really have any plans to start grave robbing

or studying archaeology.

i just like seeing what people think! that's the most interesting thing!

[soft_focus]

What are your plans then?

[escardos]

so you're going to go back to studying archaeology! you should totally do it and follow your dreams! become like indiana jones!

[standless]

Oh!

Yes, I intend to return to those studies (hopefully it will not be grave robbing??)...

Who is Indiana Jones?

[escardos]

what plan???

i don't really have any plans. i just like asking questions to get to know you guys.

[escardos]

YOUVE NEVER WATCHED INDIANA JONES?????????? THE EPITOME OF ALL ARCHAEOLOGY MOVIES????

WHAT KIND OF ARCHAEOLOGIST ARE YOU????????????????????

WE HAVE TO FIX THIS RIGHT NOW.

[soft_focus]

Oh.

It's nice to see someone without a plan too then. There's too many things to choose to already have a plan.

[escardos]

eheheh it's just a lot better to watch things happen, isn't it? i don't think i could ever do a huge plan tbh...that's way more fitting for evil villains and stuff.
