Calligraphy? Writing with a quill is not so different than a fountain pen. While I do not know if it will be "swirly" enough for your means, I believe I could manage.

[ Said as someone who has signed his name with some big swirly letters if one overlooks that it appears to be two different fonts. There is no need for him to be that extra. ]

[headhunt]

fountain pen?

let's see what you got then
can you take a photo?

( not that it should be too difficult to find someone capable of writing more elegantly than her awful chicken scratch. )

It is like a quill with the ink included in the tool.

[ It is rare when he is the one who knows of a technology someone else does.

Sherlock attaches a sample of his best handwriting with all the little flourishes he does when he has time to write and is not just jotting down notes in his casebook with a pencil. ]

[withermarked]

I'm used to pens, not quills, but I can do beautiful writing if that's the part you need.

[He excelled at one thing, and it's really just the same skillset: beautiful writing and beautiful sigils. The latter doesn't mean much in this world, but maybe he can do something with the former.]

[headhunt]

funny, you're the second person to say that

you guys don't use quills and inkpots?

[withermarked]

I'm sure some people do, but they were fairly out of fashion by the time I was in school. Pencils and fountain pens, mostly.

I don't know if anyone could read what I write, without the translator.

But I can keep an eye out for anyone offering fancy writing, if you want.

[headhunt]

because of your original language
or because you suck at it garrus?

[thearchangel]

[WOW KARLACH.]

You know what, I have to be honest. Both.

Probably.

Well, if the Duchy tutors ever taught me anything, it would be penmanship. What do you need written?

[headhunt]

looks like i got a gentleman to take my coin already

tutors? like the sort that came to your home?

( rich..... )

[tilfrosset]

Ah well, that's good to hear then. Hope his services please you.

Somewhat. They lived on the castle grounds so it was just a matter of them coming down the hall to us for our daily lessons.

[Less rich and more a ward of the Duchy who was being trained to be marriage material as soon as possible.]

I use brushes for most of my traditional writing. Would that be acceptable?

[headhunt]

( oh, that intrigues her. )

you wouldn't happen to know how to paint, would you?

[Well, isn't this curious.]

Karlach, if you've need of an experienced calligrapher, surely you realize you need look no further than our own home!

[headhunt]

( there are certain complications with that, gale. )

you'd try to do it for free

The Guild was sure to drum writing into my head along with everything else, though I'm not sure how pretty it would be. My texts have been accused of being formal letters before, though.

Zelda might be more help for calligraphy.

[Particularly on forged documents.]

[headhunt]

( "zelda might be more help". knowing what she already intends to ask of the poor writer in her clutches, she lets out a loud bark of a laugh.

zelda would never forgive her. )

the guild?

wait, you know zelda?

If you need another volunteer, I'd be happy to do it for free. Make my parents proud my education taught me something.

What do you need written so badly?

[headhunt]

coin's too precious for me to let you do that

uh
i guess you could say it's an invitation
but my own handwriting certainly leaves something to be desired. ha

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Im pretty good with a pen

I dont do a lot of calligraphy but I could probably whip up something cool

What do you need it for?

1/2 public

[headhunt]

are you?
somehow you keep surprising me

2/2 new incoming text from karlach

[headhunt]

( because at least one of them has learned valuable lessons about public conversation, karlach directly shoots a text over to darin to continue privately. )

i'm trying to fuck a guy

[telepathicignorance]

I was taught to write nicely but I'm pretty out of practice.

(Their writing has degraded to absolutely awful chicken scratch and they give zero shits about this.)

[headhunt]

ever think about picking it up again?
