*I walk to my apartment, climb the stairs to my floor and open the place up. It's a small place, a bit cluttered. Various unfinished wood sculptures dot the area. But most surprisingly is the bizarre weapon on the table: it looks like a dagger rigged into a wire bracer.* "Thank god that no one's gotten into this place"

"Okay. I'll get to making you a bed with the scrap wood I've got around here." *I start gathering planks of wood and hauling them to a makeshift workbench I've got in the room. A tarp is underneath the thing to help clean up sawdust. I pick up a medium saw and start cutting*

*Over the next few hours, the bed takes shape as I saw, measure, mark and check. It becomes the equivalent of a full sized bed for you, packed with cotton batting as a mattress. I find some old blankets and cut them to size.*

"Let's not go off half-cocked there cowboy. We'll need a way for you to access it wherever we put it. And I don't want to step on you while you're asleep, so the floor is out."

"Hmm." *notices a miniature ladder lying around* "I got it! I can set you up on a stool using that ladder." *I pick up the ladder and the bed and move a stool to a corner of the room and set everything up*

"My name's Ethan..."

"Nice to meet you." *I pick up the weaponized bracer and give it a look*

"This, is an assassin's hidden blade." I roll the weapon around to let him see every detail. "It's meant to be secured to a man's forearm for concealment. Here." I put the thing on. "I flick a switch," I point the blade away from Ethan as I flick my hand, causing the blade to spring forward. "and the blade comes out."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"This has been in my family for years." *I flick again and the blade retracts. "This weapon made hits during the Civil War and the Revolution."

"As cool as this is, I try to keep it hidden. There are people out there who would see me dead for simply having this thing, and I'm not talking about the federal government."

"I'm a member of the Order of the Assassins. They've been in existence since early medieval times. But it's their rivals I'm worried about. They're known as the Order of the Knights Templar."

"order of...what?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"The Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem, or the Knights Templar. The Assassins and the Templars have been against each other for ages because of differing ideals. The Templars would see me dead because I'm an Assassin."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"The ideological differences between the two groups is in this question: Freedom instead of order, or Order instead of Freedom? The Assassins chose freedom, the Templars chose Order."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Can't you have both? Order and freedom? Balanced?"
