Come on, man, you’re really discounting yourself here. I don’t just think you can do this, I know you can.
First off, you’ve got how many years of fine art classes under your belt?
I remember your calligraphy work, I saw plenty of it up on our walls in college. You can write. Surely a quill can’t be too different from a dip pen. You just have to study the handwriting, just like how you forged Dr. Davis’ signature on that one application. Speaking of, that brings me to my next point…
People have been studying this writing for decades.
They’ve got it down to a science at this point. Some researcher even went through and broke down all the different people that must have worked on it–I’ve already picked out which one I want you to copy. If you just pay attention to the pages with that writing, you’re golden! At some point it’s all nonsense anyway.
I will take care of everything else.
I mean it. Everything. I’ll get us the parchment, I’ll clean it off, I’ll tell you exactly what to write–hell, I’ll even make the inks! All I need from you is the artistic touch, and you could do that with your eyes closed. Listen, I believe in you just as much as I believe in myself, and I know that between the two of us we’re gonna make it big.
