( >.< And here I've been adding an H every time I write the name. Thanks for pointing that out before I made a fool of myself. XD Next question: What was the fanatic challenges like? I always came on to late to compete. Well, that's still an important job. )

(So plot line time! Right now we're on part A which is setting up the Sector arc. It's pretty obvious but the two main figures of the Sector are Calhoun and Doctor Mori. Doctor Mori's current mission, other than over seeing the treatment of agents and such, is to gain more knowledge of the lost magics: Blood, Telepathic, and Flame. While her reasons for seeking these magics are unknown, it appears that she wants to use her research to improve her understanding of how to use these magics to aid others around here. Calhoun, however, seems to be driving, almost forcing his team to find any area that holds these types of magic to improve their attacks and weapons. He might be building something off to the side since he is looking for artifacts, which Doctor Mori doesn't have as much interest in.
Part B, which hopefully we'll get to soon once Team Phoenix reports back to Calhoun, which involve about three missions, ill have some high stakes. Because there will be combat involved, I'll give vague prompts that you guys will be able to choose from that will help develop the story. Your characters MIGHT switch sides of who they trust depending on what happens. More information on characters will be revealed such as motives and background.
Part C will be the consequences of Part B. A main character will be captured and put through a trial of sorts.
I still need to figure out how certain characters will work continuing on. Rowlin might come in handy for what Aika is doing but only if he knows about her outside of the VDA as a vampire or has heard myths/ legends about her.)

(Totally got you Misty, I start college next week as well. Yeah I have a lot planned out, funny thing is none of it is written down. Most of the scenes that I've worked on I just replay when listening to certain songs, a lot from Persona 3 & 4 and Hotline Miami 1 & 2: Wrong Number. Funny how music can just build a scene before it even happens.)

(My younger brother keeps telling me to stop running into random groups when anime or video games are mentioned. I can't help it. Lol ) "R-Right..." Rowlin agreed with Yan's statement as if being scolded for doing something he shouldn't have. I always see parents scoldingtheir kids for not buying books, here I am getting scolded for buying books. As my students would say , this is so uncool... nonetheless he was pretty happy with the books, it was almost like Christmas, but it obviously wasn't. Looking over the receipt he couldn't help but notice that it was way cheaper then it would've been in the UK. He snapped out of it himself when yan asked a question. "What kind of books are you looking for?" Rowlin leaned slightly forward with curiosity. Fiction, science fiction, nonfiction, atlas, mythology?" He asked.he paused to allow the girls their interaction. It wants until they asked him that he blinkered clueless, "h-huh, me.help you?"He asked. " I can but I also don't want to get in your way. what if I mess somethingup " he considered the thought. "But... I am willing to help!" He encouraging stated. ((Lol omg that's me too! XD except I've been doing it significantly less the past few years. Now's it's more like joining clubs that have to do with what I like :3 ahh that reminds me I get to join my university's esports club when school starts! Hoping to join a team and compete in the future~ X3)) "Mostly fiction." After Evangeline had finished with the list of books, Yan took it and handed it to Rowlin. "You know how I dislike nonfiction books. Not that I don't like them that much, but it's hard to find one that's interesting you know? Last time I did manage to find a non fiction that was interesting, but it's only been this once." She mostly enjoyed fiction books, her reason being it told stories of a place that's not the real world, fantasy was her favourite. That's why on her list she listed out mostly fantasy books. Lord of the Rings trilogy, first edition. The Chronicles of Narnia, first edition. And so on. She finished all these series a long long time ago and had the idea of collecting the first editions, but she only recently found the time to actually do it. Unfortunately all the prices she saw online were, admittedly, sky high, so she resorted to asking Evangeline for help instead. "All the ones you're looking for are first editions, hmm." Evangeline started, resting her cheek on her palm into a thinking stature. "I don't know if I have the ones you're looking for, since they're really famous, and also quite old, but we could always try." She paused. "In the end of we can't find it, maybe Diarmaid would know what to do." Yup, if anyone knows where to look for things, it was her brother Diarmaid.

((I been looking up some things online for one of my aquariums is having issues. r.ip))
"Fiction.." Rowlin muttered in a nod. "That's right.." He acknowledged then took that as a moment to mental note himself. How could I forget....seriously... He thought carefully. He shook his head slightly pushing the thought away. He blinked slightly then looked into the list. He read the stories carefully thinking about it. First editions, and here I thought she was calling me out for going after special editions.. He curiously thought.
He paused looking at the list once more. "Aye I'd agree with your friend here, Yan." He added with slight concern. "I mean, it's not impossible, but we're talking insane prices and vintage. Heh... I can call back home to see if a friend or two might be able to spot it elsewhere." He considered lightly. "I can also email some colleagues to see if they have it in their possesion, or might know some sources."

((Oh no D: is the aquarium okay? my family recently got a new aquarium too, and it's huge XD sadly it'll stay here in China while I have to return to Vancouver XP))
"Yeah true." Yan considered the two's opinion carefully for a moment. "Can you find maybe one of them? I just got myself some cash by selling this guy a custom PC, and he went crazy with the specs. A good thing he had a lot of money though." She took out a cheque from her messenger bag and showed it to them. It wasn't often that she did jobs like this, but when she did, she made sure she could make money off of it. In reality, she didn't really that much out of each of these she did, but she did do a lot of them over the years, and so she had amassed some money. What she didn't mention was how she sometimes made money outside of the team by doing programming jobs and such. Those were boring jobs, she'd rather not talk about those.
"Again, we can try." Evangeline restated her previous point. "I do recall seeing some first editions somewhere around here, but they were from a long time ago. Let's see if we can find them." She took the lead and ventured upstairs, the second floor was where all the better stuff were located. "And maybe if we don't succeed then we can resort to asking Rowlin's friends or my brother."

(Something might be physically tearing coral apart. Im also missing a fish. tomorrow I will be tearing that tank a part and hope my missing fish hasn't been eaten. >.< )
"I'm sure all of us can bop our heads together and conclude to a solution." Rowlin explained considerably. He opened his mouth to ask about this Jon then blinked in awe after seeing the check. she made that much after one job? Geez... it makes my profession sound like even more brochure... "right.... right.... right.... " he muttered three times. "That must be one bell of a hally gamer." He thought , almost picturing an insane decked out, tower. lights and sounds too prob ably...
His attention soon turned to Evangeline , "we can search together... i-if you wouldn't mind us assisting you." He offered lightly. if we don't sooth her ambition , all were going to hear back at the office is aggressive keyboard bashing...

((Hopefully a clean along the glass, tampering with the sand bed, water change, and a filter clean will resotre the tanks balance. After that I need to find my remote for the lighting system. >.<' It must had fallen while we were moving everything.))
Rowlin smiled towards Evangeline'excitement. "Well then, with all three of us looking I'm certain that we can find at least one of Yan's many objectives." He stated as if declaring an exploration; "R-Right! I'll skim through there and see what I can find." He happily agreed. When Yan was asking where the fantasy section was, he took a sec to recall where he spotted it not too long ago. His thoughts on the other hand were short lived as she replied indicating that she found what they were looking for "Alrighty.." He softly stated then headed over to the other end of the shelf and began searching from top to bottom.

"Find those first editions for Yan" project. Sure, she was going to call it that mentally. As Rowlin and Yan both started their search in their respective shelves, Evangeline started hers as well, walking into the shelves that's directly across from Rowlin. She did most certainly hear her brother talking about some new first editions coming into their facility some time ago, but she didn't recall where they were. Actually it had been her brother shelving those books too, so it's really no surprise that she'd not remember. Maybe I should phone Diarmaid...

(Silver, I fangirled seeing your drawings. <3 ) (I can't draw to save my life, lol)
"We'll find those books for sure." Rowlin cheerfully assured. He skimmed his fingers from shelf to shelf, then thought about every possible genre relation the books had. Heh, this is fun... looking for books, and for once, it's not some book the students need for their research papers. He paused blinking at a thought. students.... students...... students.... hmm...s-students , that's right! He turned his attention, "Evangeline, let me ask you a question. " he began. "Have students recently come by, if so can you recall them reading around this section?" He walked away slowly, "if so, can you potentially recall a group from those shelves we are searching now , potentially approach the non fiction are? " He gazed around in ponder. farfetched deduction, but possible.... "lastly, if they did reach the nonfiction area, did they.... did they hover near the math and science sections?"
(Bought supplies. One of the three damaged corals responded well. I still haven't found my missing fish against the odds. Also, I think I'm missing a snail too, rip)

Don't give up on art!! :3)) "Hmm." Evangeline was taken completely by surprise when she heard the question. Her brain quickly stared turning once more to try and remember the details of the past few days. When all the searching came in blank, she remembered that it wasn't her, but Diarmaid, that watched over the storefront for the past few days. Today was actually the day when they switched, the task now fell back to Evangeline. "I am actually not entirely sure." She answered. "But if you want, we can ask my brother? Or we can look through some security camera footage?" The funny thing was, she forgot to even ask why he wanted to find out in the first place. "Why are you asking anyways?" Luckily, it seems Yan was careful enough to help her ask the question she had forgotten. Yan had overheard their conversation, and was suddenly intrigued by Rowlin's questions. "Is there something interesting going on that you're not telling me?" Her head peeked out from the shelf she was looking in, and she looked straight towards the two. ((oh gosh XD so you're missing both a fish and a snail? But yay at lest the coral is okay~ :> btw why is Rowlin asking this question? XD just wanna make sure I know what I'm doing~))

((I think Diamaid was out, as mentioned in an earlier rp post. ^^)) ((LOL I'll keep practicing, and everyone will leave me behind, xP )) ((Aye, it's concerning. Other then that I'll just feed the fish now, cross my fingers that everything is okay; then continue the scrubbing of my tank tomorrow. I got a red algae outbreak, and boy are the struggles real. >.<' )) ((Oh as for Rowlin- Well I just remembered something that was very common when I used to work in a library. ^^ Actually I'm sometimes asked to assist in Library duty still. So basically- we all find a good book we like; discount, edition, specific cover. However from time to time either of of two things happens.)) (( 1) We get distracted into reading it that when we leave we just place it somewhere because we don't want to put it back in its proper shelf)) (( 2) You wanted the book so badly, and didn't buy it that day. So you basically wander off with it to the most isolated section of the store and hide it there; knowing that it will have a higher probability of actually being there later. ^^)) ((CANNOT tell you how many times I'd find a decent fiction book in the physics, statistics or anything less checked LOL ))
"A-Ah well if you can't recall it's all good." Rowlin smiled at the thought. When she admitted to not being sure; he waved a hand then smiled, "It's all good. I just was curious, and hoping that this search would solve itself." He explained. "W-Well.." He crossed his arms at the thought. Ask her brother, or footage... well either would be handy, but maybe we can scoop it out ourselves. His attention turned to Yan, "Let's think of this backwards, okay?" He began, "Rather then thinking where the book should be, why don't we look for it where we would least expect it. Consider this; the book is first edition. Any fanatic would love to have them in their collections, they are kinda pricy too. S-So... if you didn't have the money, but you knew you would have it within a few days time; what would you consider doing to the book?" He raised a questioning brow.

(Okay gotcha, I'm sending someone in ^^ )
Among the conversation of the three, a petite and slim figure walked into the bookstore. Her face was framed with short, shoulder length faint, strawberry blonde hair. The girls eyes were painted a pastel blue with very light, but noticeable make up. Her body was covered in a dark blue, shoulder cloak as to cover herself from the rain with a white dress adorned with black lace, dark brown boots below on her legs. Eyes lightly darting around, she closed the door behind her and stepped inside. "S-Sorry to interrupt you all, but I'd like to speak to whomever runs this store, i-if possible."
