Eight-Day Circus Profiles Part 3/31: Julian Day and Commissioner Gillian Loeb

As Bruce closes his seventh year protecting Gotham as Batman, a man he thought was his friend, who knows his darkest secrets, puts a price on his head…or does he?

[Made in conjunction with Eight-Day Circus] Prince: Sionis Steelworks, Miss Prince speaking. Loeb: Put that prick on the line, now. Prince: Now hold on, may I know who’s calling and whose prick you want? Loeb: Girl, I’m not playing. Prince: Commissioner Loeb, I have a name, and I have protocols.  If you want to throw a hissy fit over the line, I will happily remind you that Black Mask can and will rearrange your face if you’re rude to me.  So, stop insulting me, and tell me what you want.  The Boss is busy so if it’s confidential I’ll have to put you on hold. Loeb: You know what I want.  I asked him for a favor and I get back no?  Maroni is breathing down my neck and I’ve got Falcone and Cobblepot raring to shred the whole Financial District over this kid, and he won’t do one thing for me? Prince: Yeah, I dunno what to tell ya Gil, Boss likes the captain.  Hey Jack!  Boss call ya in?  Yeah, it’s not about you, it’s Kris.  Stealing product, can you believe? Loeb: Prince. Prince: You have fun Jack, I’ll be over in a hot sec, I got a fire to put out.  Look.  Here’s my take, and you can shove it up your ass for all I care.  Clean cops look good for the papers and right now, you don’t look good to the papers, so whether it’s Gordon, Montoya, Bullock, Nguyen, Crane, you name ‘em, Mask likes ‘em.  Now, you got anything actually important to talk to the Boss about?  Because I really wanna watch Mort beat the piss outta Kris and you are digging into my beatdown watch time. Loeb: Fuck you Paisley. Prince: Good talking to ya as always, Gil.

Eight-Day Circus Profiles Part 1/31: Edward Nguyen and Dr. Jonathan Crane

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job. 

Then a mother looked at their findings and said “yeah, they stored their knives in the rafters to keep them out of reach of the children.”

She now works as a hair archaeologist and I believe she has a YouTube channel now where she recreates forgotten hairstyles, using only what they had available at the time.

And had absolutely no idea what they might be. The determined that it must be a religious object and named them Roman dodecahedra. That is, until they handed it to a traditional craftsperson who asked where they found them, archaeologists replied that they found them in the north and near mountain ranges. The craftsperson then proceeded to use one of these things to make the fingers of woollen gloves. The mystery of the Roman dodecahedra was solved.

A lot of the craftspeople being asked in this post, like the leatherworker in the original post and the hair archaeologist, are also archaeologists, many specialist archaeologists practice the craft they study and therefore have a wide scope of knowledge regarding the craft's history and what is likely and not likely. Some random craftsperson might have an idea but that doesn't mean they're right because they might not know things the archaeologist does about the history of their craft and the style of craftsmanship from the time. Like when knitting was invented or how people made gloves during the period.
