(Feather , it's all good! Work, school I get it. <3 ) (I'm going to wait for silver to be on before I pull the phone card. Xd ) "If we're talking in contexts of cultures that once lived in locations of none stop rain , then sure. It would be safe to assume that the curse was never uplifted, however." He took out a pen from his pocket, "If we reflect on history and geography, we know that most groups that lived in places such as Seattle, or the rainforests eventually migrated out because of the soggy terrain being difficult to farm in. They would move just far enough where rain would continue to pour , but at the same time vegetation could substation itself. The few that remained behind however, were well... the ones who felt that there was no need to change. which is okay, but when trying to thrive a civilization, you kinda want to move with the herd." As he spoke, his own moved in a notion as though he were using a diagram of a board to explain his explanation. "As for fiction, it would make sense. Mainly because fiction is meant to tell a tale about anything. In this contexts someone took a piece of history and renovated it to fit their moral of the story. The moral being that life isn't perfect where as rain represents our trials up until our death, and it is our job to ensure that we pursue our happiness no mater where we are." He paused, "A student's report once discussed the topic you bring up for a final report in history. This individual talked about the myth behind rain, and they pulled out concepts from the story you mention as one reference to compare to the actual reports she looked up." He tapped the pen against the side, "I-I think she got an A... not a hundred because of some typos, but it was enjoyable. W-Well we did tell her to go get it checked by the writing center or any English major before turning it in." (If the contexts feels vague as to who students or who and graded; then don't worry about it. IT's meant to be unclear. Xd ) (Gotcha Shining) Through his whole explanation, Nariko felt like she should be taking notes on what he was saying, as if she was going to be quizzed on it. If only, at least then I'd get an A for once.... "Sooooo were you tutor or something before you came here? Or maybe a teacher in training?" She asked politely as she titled her head. He did keep referring to students as, well, students. Not peers or classmates. There's no way somebody could slip up on something like twice. |

Rowlin fiddled with the pen a little, he had just now realized his slip of the tongue and maybe if he kept talking he'd slip everything more. "Well..." He took a last sip of his drink, "Sorta a combo of both." He quickly retraced his entire conversation up to this point. He seriously slipped up but nothing a small explanation can't fix. "I tutored a little back home, and began to take an early starter program for teaching." He explained. "The early program pairs us up with younger kids during the summer, but throughout the school year we help our fellow incoming freshmen with help in core subjects..." He paused not thinking of whaat else he may have added. Oh crap how do I explain majors... He smiled at her, "Well hopefully that explains everything-" His expression was caught off guard as his phone went off, it was Yan. He blinked then turned back towards the girl, "It looks like I need to get going, I ordered something and they'll be at my place soon." He gazed at the phone then smiled once more.
"It was a pleasure meeting you! I seriously hope we can get the chance to talk again, maybe here to." His excitement lit up. He picked up the map, and carried his drink, "Alrighty then, catch ya later!" He smiled rushing our the door.
Once out the door he picked up the phone, "Oh boy am I glad to hear you!" He explained on the phone as he made his way through the town based on the map given to him. He put the map away to keep it from soging up in the rain, yet he had an idea of where he was headed now.

"Rowlin!" When Rowlin picked up, Yan was surprised he sounded so relieved and happy. It always made herself feel happy whenever other people are happy for some reason, and her mood was immediately elevated. "Now, uh, they told me to call you today, but I don't recall what for, did you have something for me to do?" Actually truthfully speaking, Yan had other work she still hadn't finished, but it's all good. She was good at multitasking, and finishing work last minute was kind of "her thing". She was confident that whatever work Rowlin may throw her way, she was ready to take it on.
I think I wasted enough time today anyways.

Rowlin blinked now confused, "W-Work?" He tilted his head as he walked down the street, "U-Uh no... not yet w-wait do we have work to do?" He now asked in a confused tone, then he paused for a brief moment, "A-Actually well the main reason I'm glad you called was mainly because I think I let my tongue slip a little when talking to a girl I just met at a cafe today." He explained, "On top of that she mentioned something about her parents working in the office, so that was perhaps getting awkward real fast. Then she mentioned what school she attends, and I think I applied for a recent part time position there." His tone had picked up with the build up of events, but nothing a deep breath couldn't fix. "A-Anyways thanks for the save much appreciated, and....I actually sorta forgot my way towards the office....I'm really not familiar with this place..."

Yan couldn't help but laugh a bit at his last statement. Yup, that's our Rowlin.
"Where are you?" She asked. In the meantime she started grabbing a few things for her bag, keys, headphones, everything she thought she'd need for her to go out. "I'll come find you. Need some exercise anyways." And the truth was that she did. She'd stayed inside for a day already because some days earlier she had to be outside for work, now that she'd properly winded down from all that tension, she was ready to be outside once more. She had some things she wanted to do, and now was probably a good time to do it.
Putting the phone on speaker, she picked up her headband from her monitor table and started organizing her hair, she had just washed it yesterday so it was in generally good condition. The red streaks could be seen perfectly on the light. This wasn't the first time she had to pick up Rowlin somewhere, or when someone else on the team did. They were all used to it.
((I guess I should get to work making the other character XD

(Gotcha Shining, I'll reply to your post once Silver makes her reply ^^ ) "Not a- Dalton, this is your health we're talking about, of course it's important." Her eyes closed as she shook her head, her hand returning to her side. "We're not leaving if your thought process is this skewed." She ushered him inside her apartment, making sure to close the door once he got inside, and gestured towards the couch. "I'll prep you some food and medicine while you rest. And you're not helping me just because I'm injured, alright? If you try you'll just exhaust yourself even more." I'll call James later if he doesn't feel a bit better by 3:30. Surely him and Naomi will understand."Of course, feel free to drop by anytime." She smiled polite towards him and waved as he left. Her gaze turned back towards the samples as she carefully picked one up and turned in around with her fingers. iThere must be a way to track whose energy this is. How would I be able to do so... Blood magic mainly came from weapons or from a vampires hands, so there was a chance she could find some prints within the samples. Releasing them from there stay might be a bit tricky however. First he wasn't thinking straight, now his thought process was skewed- geez, who else was going to comment on his mental state here? Naomi? He could easily call her up and ask for her opinion too. Then he took a deep breath, accessing the situation again. How much Aika cared about him. How James would probably be worried sick if he found out. They might be right- he was acting weird. Ever since those visions... No. Let's not get into that right now. "Look Aika, you're very sweet, but we have other things to worry about. I can rest and get food and medicine after the meeting," Nevertheless, he sat on her couch, watching her. Only when James left the office did he realize how late he was getting. He had to get back to his place before anyone else did- not that they would be waiting outside for him, James was willing to bet money that Dalton would let himself in with the spare key and Naomi would pick the lock. The point was not to keep his friends waiting on him. This in mind, he drove away. |

"W-Well..." Rowlin stopped at an intersection , "S-Somewhere near The "Locke & K." Bookstore..." he frowned slightly. "I had the girl I met draw me a map, but I never once asked her where HQ was... which I could have said, my parents needed me to drop off something there. Yet using that excuse would be useless since my folks are well...dead.." He sighed slightly, "A-Anyways the conversation was getting good, she seems like a very good kid who I can see rolling through college with hard work and effort." He began recalling the earlier conversation, "If I were her teacher we'd probably be sitting there talking about the lessons even after class ends." He considered, forgetting that he applied for that school and was still awaiting a call back. "A-Anyways... much appreciated, I look forward to your company, the city let me tell ya it ain't Ireland...."

"R-Right..." He stated, then blinked at the end, "W-Wait!" Too late she hung up. He sighed now then turned around to look at the bookstore. It was a bookstore afterall, he couldn't pass this opportunity. However that was the other downside of bookstores, he might walk out with a stack, maybe more then he can handle. He inhaled then relaxed, walking into the store with curiosity. His eyes skimmed all directions, there was books, books and more books. Uh-oh... this might be good, or this might leave him broke. Whichever hit him first. He could always use credit, right?

If you're going to be that way... "Fine, I'll compromise and have the meeting here. In the meantime, you need to rest Dalton. I know you'd rather not be reminded of your current state, but as your secretary and friend, I need to make sure you're okay. So just relax, take a nap or read something, I don't care. Just don't tire yourself out more than you already have. Clearly my injury and whatever happened yesterday is causing more trouble than we thought, and I apologize for that. But right now you need to take care of yourself. And if you can't I will." Once she had finished speaking she brought over a plate of fresh fruit and some tea which she had prepped earlier from the kitchen and set it down on the table in front of him before returning to the kitchen. Her hand grabbed her phone and she quickly typed out a text to Naomi and James, telling them to meet at her apartment for the meeting instead of James's.

Evangeline was in her process of organizing the books so she did not see the visitor until she went into the open. She had just finished stacking and shelving some newly arrived collector's editions on the shelves. She thought the man looked familiar, perhaps he was from one of those teams in the VDA, but she couldn't specifically remember the exact name. "Oh. Hello, may I help you?" Out of politeness, she stepped out and asked. The visitor didn't seem like a bad guy, and from what she could see, he seemed really interested in books, which was a good thing. Diarmaid had gone out in the morning to investigate something, and Evangeline had told him to bring back some tea, but he had yet to return. At least there was now someone here, maybe they could chat a bit about books, Evangeline really liked that.

((Sorry for now pulling my reserves, but role? There shouldn't be a role..It's just character, fandom description > rp....))
Rowlin turned towards Evangeline, he smiled shaking his head slightly, "As of this moment I really don't know what I would need help with. Mainly because I still haven't decided as to where to start skimming for new books to read." He shyly admitted. Then snapped his fingers in realization, his green gaze gleaming at a new thought. "A-Actually! Actually yes.." He recalled, "I'm waiting for a friend, but in the meantime where would your best sellers be, books of the week, and perhaps history for both fiction and non-fiction be at?" He asked with a smile on his face. This idea of waiting especially at a bookstore made him feel like a kid again.

He sighed, picking up the tea cup and having a small sip before finishing his reply. "You shouldn't have to do that for me." The drink was refreshing. He had had water earlier, but it was nice to have something warm and soothing. Reluctantly, he took a slice of fruit and began to nibble on that, going slow so he wouldn't upset his stomach from scarfing everything down. Only now did he realize how hungry he was. "I'm sorry about this," he said, a little quieter than his first statement, and Dalton, once putting down his tea, began to fiddle with his glasses with his free hand. |

(Something like that.)
Rowlin gazed at all the books happily. He wasn't exactly sure what he wanted, but he noticed that some of the history subject books were first editions, or special editions. That could only mean one thing , not many people buy them... holy cow... these are going in my library!
Just like a child in a candy store he began to pick several books, one by one. Books talking about Greek history, to midevil times, all the way to the US. History and civil war.
"Too be honest I'm not looking for anything in particular. Yet these books talking about the western frontier. Those are classics!"

For awhile silence just filled the room until Aika returned to the couch where Dalton was with two bowls of soup. She carefully place the, down on the table before grabbing one of the many books that scattered on the table--all of which were on studies on Magic--and proceeded to curl up in the other corner of the couch. "You don't need to apologize." Her tone sounded rather simple and to the point, but at the same time it felt like she was holding something back. I should be the one apologizing here, not you.

(How is everyone?)
Once again, the room was silent. Dalton sighed, and finished the fruit. He had to eat more, so he began to eat the soup, one spoonful at a time. "If you say so," he finally said, not sounding very convinced but staying quiet now. He looked at the titles of the books for a moment, wondering if any had to do with that blood magic they saw yesterday, then deciding it would be better not to ask. Resting come first, and that meant not focusing on whatever happened yesterday.

(Doing well, how are you Rose?)
One of the books had a crest on it that seemed rather similar to the ones in the portraits that he and James saw in the Palace. However, it had lock on it and there did seem to be a key matching it on the table. All the other books seemed rather old, ancient even, but they were maintained in an almost perfect condition. None of these books seemed remotely like the ones they had back at headquarters. Maybe they were part of the will Aika had mentioned earlier that her mother gifted her? But then how did she obtain these books in the first place?
After minutes of silence, Aika place the book down she was reading--the title being "Studies on Arcane Armor"-- and glanced towards the piano. "Have any requests?"

"Do you know Love Like You?" he finally said, having some more of the soup. It was almost impossible to deny that he wasn't feeling well now- it was clear he was hungry, and from the way he slouched on the couch, that he was tired. Hopefully the fever would go down soon- honestly, Dalton was surprised he had one. That was one part of his illness he wasn't aware of.
