(@minted I'm doing well, I'm still trying to figure out what either Eveline or Tom could do plot wise. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Eveline is a much more passive character right? I have no problem with that being the case, but I need to know or understand why she would want to work with Elizabeth or Aika or why she would want to work against the VDA besides the fact that she is a vampire who could be caught within the city.)

(Hmmm... I prefer her being related to Lucas. I know that I'm biased toward him, but I feel it would spread out the action/plot a little more equally among the characters. It could be an interesting plot point for him, depending on what exactly he knows about her. ...And I REALLY wanna roleplay but half the time I don't even know where to begin or what to suggest Lucas do.)

(Totally understood, did you have an original name for one of Lucas's sisters that I could use for later reference?)

(I actually have three because he has three sisters ^^ Mary is about 2 ½ years older than him, and she was married and a mother when he was turned. Rebecca is almost 4 years younger than him, and Hannah is about 6 ½ years younger than him. Both his younger sisters were unmarried when he was turned. I don’t really care which one you pick.)

(I think I'll go with Rebecca since it's the closest to the spelling of Selena. Are there any notes I should take for her appearance? I've been keeping that pretty vague to avoid ruining her character.)

Evangeline probably lost herself in imagining the scenery of Ireland as Rowlin continued his descriptions. In her mind, she painted a perhaps too wonderful image of the Irish countrysides, and she herself walked among the open fields, looking up into the sky and also into the distance where the ruin of a castle stood still majestically in the brilliant sun. The thought of it made her really warm and happy, and for one she just really wanted to be there right now, there to breathe in the Irish air. “Ah, I really wish I can go there one day. If only…” She muttered all to herself, still daydreaming. But realizing she probably looked quite stupid right now, she shook her head for a few times, and took a sip of her tea to calm herself back down. But yes… If only…
The moment the letter resealed itself, Diarmaid had to admit he was a bit startled by everything that had just happened. Even the letter itself, when he had finished reading the message, the expression on his face was no doubt quite confused and shocked. His brain started working immediately, trying to think up the possible explanations of this while he totally forgot about the girl that delivered this message in the first place. By the time he remembered, she was gone. Diarmaid looked around frantically, trying to see if she really just walked out while he wasn’t looking, but he knew it was much more complicated than that. it was strange, because he now heard Evangeline’s voice and also the voices of two more people. They sounded totally calm, and judging by the aroma of tea in the air, were just chilling and having tea. No one else saw what happened, or even noticed it was happening. Could it be..? Diarmaid had a suspicion. A suspicion that needed investigation to prove. He swiftly took out his notebook from where he had set off his cape, and slid the letter into the pages. He was also searching for something, a phone number that he had not yet saved into his phone. The phone number of Naomi.

Aegis☆. Rowlin's softened gaze was lost in the memories of home; "When I think of the big cities I see colorful architecture, or different designs. Yet when I compare it to here, I-It just doesn't compare." He softly admitted. "Nonetheless, different is good, being elsewhere it's a unique experience to see how people perceive home." He shared his inner most thoughts with the two girls. "Sure I might feel a bit homesick, but I've always believed that home is where the heart is. The friends you make, and the connections you bond. Home can be anywhere with those you come to hold close." He lightly explained.

Home can be anywhere with those you come to hold close." He lightly explained. "Yeah, I totally understand what you mean." Evangeline nodded gently after Rowlin's comment about homesickness. Mostly because when she arrived in the city herself, she also felt the same. No doubt anyone would. "Aye, same here." Yan raised a hand to agree. "When I first came from China, I also couldn't get over how different things were here. Perhaps back then I was too used to the boisterous and fast paced society in my hometown... But eventually in time I did come to appreciate the way things were here. Though I have to say, when I got used to things here in Embra, home started to feel far away, and maybe the next time I go back, I wouldn't be used the things back there. It's just kind of complicated." "No no, I'm pretty sure everyone gets that." Evangeline reassured. "I personally have experienced this before too, as my hometown is in Japan. Our distant relatives were Irish though, believe it or not! But.. I never had a chance to visit Ireland at all."

((Oh no, my textbook just crashed on me. >.< Kindle Time to spam refresh r.i.p)) ((Hey hey hey, I know we got Evangeline's brother with a plot but we should totally make things awkward. S-Say I dunno... A certain someone gets up, slips and happens to fall onto someone else. Evangeline gets up, slips falls right onto Rowlin? Rowlin gazed over an Evangeline with curiosity, "Change is different, and the way we see it is rather how we come to accept it. To have an open mind, and adapt is a lot better then keeping our minds to the same thing. The sooner we move in; the more time we can spend learning." He added with a sly smile. "Fast paced life, Yan?" He turned his attwntion with curiosity. "The little time we been working together I've seen you as fast paced, based on what you are saying.. I can't imagine anything faster." He admitted softly. "Yet I like who i've come to work with, I appreciate you and I think that when you return home you might have an even wider knowledge of the fast lane." He observed carefully. "W-Wait.." He blinked turning back to Evangeline, "J-J-Japan?!" He blinked his voice getting rather excited. "I-I admire Japan.." He admitted now bluntly, "I-I've been there a few times, and a close friend of mine is from Japan.. W-What's Japan like? Pictures, description, i'll take it all.' He spoke fondly.

((Oh noz!! D: I get that feeling ugh happens to me all the time XD which is why I go for actual copies now instead of digital.)) ((OMG YES!!! XD That would be amazing loll adding to our shipping needs lol when do you think it should happen?? :3)) "Y-yeah," Yan was taken by surprise by Rowlin's comment. "I um... It just- it just becomes a habit you know. We're often taught in China that you could use the time you save to do things you like, but the funny thing is you just end up using the time you saved to do other things. It's like an endless loop if you ask me." "O-Oh um..." Evangeline wasn't prepared for Rowlin's sudden interest in Japan, since she just commented her homeland as a side note. But that was fine, I guess now it was her turn to be the storyteller. She looked around for a bit, wondering how she should start. Wait... Suddenly remembering something, she stood up, walked into her office and took out a leather bound... Album? From the bottom of her shelf. It was really dusty, and it had not been taken out for a while. Yet, now was the perfect chance to show a bit of family history. She walked back to where Rowlin and Yan sat, and blew off the dust on the cover. It was a beautifully bound custom made photo album, on top of which was embedded with their family's emblem and on the back was the emblem of another closer family. There was a long story she was about to tell, and she had the perfect audience. (( featherleg: Hey Feather! I just made up some random family background and stuff for Evangeline and Diarmaid XD maybe u can also put it into good use later if u want~))

Aegis☆. ((True- but I bought almost all digital this semester because of my back injury on extended recovery. My Doctor asked I carry a lot less then usual. So ebooks + laptop it was.)) ((Bought myself an Arc Notebook too, so I can add only what I need, and take out all the extended papers I don't need. lol)) ((Gah! I was sorta hoping for her going to go get the book, or coming back to be a trigger moment. Like right as she was returning she accidentally slipped or something.)) ((LOL Okay...now we need to find a reason to make it happen.)) ((Okay let's keep going; let's try to work our magic! LOL)) "Habits are habits aren't they?" Rowlin raised a curious brow. "But over time we mold these habits to our interests, thus making us who we are." He stated calmly. He couldn't help but smile warmly at the thought, "Cultures play a big influence too, but that's to be expected for every culture has a different scene of living. We can walk with it, pull away, or alter it to fit in but at the same time be ourselves. Worst comes to worst, you leave all together take what you know and adapt the new of your new destination. It's what makes humansso fascinating." He explained, gently. "Our wills, personalities, interests, and dislikes." He nodded softly, "Makes us all one, but not the same. Yet some people disagree, so for that I think you really do best when in the mood." He softly chuckled. Rowlin's attention turned now he leaned forward a bit with interest, "Well look at that beauty." He admired the emblem, "That's what I call one prized possession, very lovely deary." He admitted calmly with excitement. "This book's spine, and cover says it all. A family of passion, and care." He snickered slightly, "And people say books can't speak; that book is speaking right now."

In the notebook there was a quickly written phone number with the initial and writing "NJQP, Tracker for Phoenix" next to it. There was also a stamp of sorts next to it with the emblem for the team, a pair of flared wings filled with embers and ash, the head of a Phoenix looming below. Stamps like these were known as a customary emblem to verify an Agents position.

((lol OMG IM SO SORRY I DIDNT KNOW YOU MEANT IT LIKE THAT D: BUT ITS OKAY! We can find a better opportunity to do our thing ;D maybe later when she puts the book away? :3))
"This old thing? More like an album than a book actually." Evangeline sat down and set the book on the coffee table in front so they all can see. "Our family was known as the Kunikida Clan, and we were a family with some kind of long descent or something along with our close relatives the Shimada Clan." In truth, she just spoke what was on top of her head, she'd forgotten some part of their family's history already and it was something she wasn't proud of. But Diarmaid, he probably remembered more about it.
"So the emblem in front is that of your family?" Yan blurted, still marvelling at the marvellous design of the emblem. It was a circular emblem with an intricately designed magpie sitting on a Sakura tree branch. The principle colour of the emblem was a really dark shade of gray and a lighter shade of teal.
"Yes." Evangeline took the liberty of flipping over the album, revealing the one on the back. "And since the two families maintained close relations, even at times marrying their children to one another, we have grown accustomed to be shown as allied clans. The emblem at the back belongs to the Shimada Clan of course." That emblem held quite the opposite atmosphere of the first and showed two dragons curled around each other in a circle, the principle colour being aquamarine and emerald. It was... Quite majestic in comparison to the calm and gentle feel of the Kunikida emblem.
((lol I'm so Overwatch trash I got inspiration from there I'm sorry XD))

Aegis☆. ((LOL I'll let you choose the moment, xD I don't mind.)) ((HAHAHA! All good, we'll find that opportunity.)) ((Pft, preach your love for overwatch, I'll babble on about Detective Coanan!)) "That's impressive." Rowlin remarked at the album, "R-Really impressive to remain such a bond after so long. Though not in the same context as back then- the fact that it remains as tradition is truly impressive." He stated with appreciation. "Though as much as I'd say; let's dive into the history...I'd rather stick in the present for now. S-Since we're talking about what you grew up seeing in your daily life." He added to his thoughts. His eyees skimmed through the album as she flipped through it; "Golly,...." He stated softly, "Just lovely isn't it?" He stated picturing Japan. "I'd love to take a trip there, but as of late I been restricted so many places so it's been work, work, work." He sighed at the thought. "T-Thank you for sharing this with us. I-It's truly a pleasure to see something like this."

(( featherleg : omg! XD wait so... I had this idea that.. Maybe my characters can have really distant magical heritage? :3 like maybe that'll make it easier for Diarmaid to investigate? cuz like I made up some clan background and stuff and maybe that'd work? XD cuz I thought maybe their friend clan could have some magical background and can help the investigation somehow. tell me what you'd think though )) Taking out his phone, Diarmaid quickly dialled the number and waited for a response. For that short moment he considered maybe giving Evangeline some research to do. But after seeing how she had been having such a nice conversation with the others, he had second thoughts. He wasn't sure if this was the best time to drag her into this yet. Perhaps at a later time. He had to make sure they find out enough information first.

((XD We must all show our love for the fandoms somehow~~ :> dw man I'll set up a real good scene for Rowlin and Evangeline :333 it's gonna be great~))
"I'd go into our history, but unfortunately I do not remember as much now." Evangeline gave an awkward chuckle, for some reason now finding the confidence to admit her bad memory. "But don't worry about it Rowlin, it's always a pleasure sharing memories with others, especially since I haven't done so in a long long while." She paused for a short while, gathering her thoughts. "I guess I could start from relatively recent, since that's all I remember." She tilted her head a bit. "When Diarmaid and I were young, we always played along with the children from the Shimada Clan. As I have mentioned before, our two families, despite the passage of time and various disagreements, have maintained a strong bond. Our home was back in a small town known as Hanamura, and it's a small town in the context that it was pretty decently remote but also not that far away from the city. I do not remember much of my childhood but I do remember the nice environment back there. Our house was a very traditional house, built like the traditional Japanese temples, and it settled next to a stretch of cherry blossom trees. When the flowers bloom, sometimes we'd sit outside and read, and watch the petals fall onto the pages."

Aegis☆. ((Time to retaliate with Detective Conan lore!))((Oh I look forward to said scene. xD)) Rowlin smiled, "Ah we all tend to have hazy moments, just go with what you feel." He encouraged brightly. "I'm not worried one but, nor should you. We're just sitting here, three of us conversing to our heart's content." He took another sip of his drink; he had gotten so into this that he had forgetton completely about the tea. "Aye, friendships go a long way." He softly commented. "O-Oh... Hanamura, that's a small roadtrip away from Osaka." Rowlin's gaze softened at the mental picture of a map in his head. Just her describing the cherry blossoms, and old school temples just brought the Osaka district to mind. "Not the city itself, but the Osaka prefecture, its outskirts towards the hills carry out more traditional housing, cherry blossoms, and certainly smaller towns and villages up to date."

(I'm actually perfectly fine with that. I was going to pitch that idea to somebody but I wasn't sure who. What type of magic would he and Evangeline have access to?)
After three rings a voice echoed back from the end of the other phone. "Hello Diarmaid, what can I do for you?" An odd response maybe but Naomi tended to work just like this. Everything for the most part seemed to be work related to her, and she took serious pride in her work. A call meant a mission. A conversation meant a lead. It was just how her mind worked.

((LOL DC all the way! xD)) ((So like after that phone call I guess we'll have the ship take a dip))Aegis☆. "I can imagine..." Rowlin nodded at the thought, "I'd love to go down there, now that I have found a secret tour guide; i'll be sure to have you tag along, or at least text you whenever I need to find someone who could help me get to my destination." He lightly joked at the thought. "Though I think going together would be a good idea, don't you think?" He smiled, "Home visit, lost tourist it would be cool." He admitted. "I'd love to visit the various Buddhist temples, it has a wide impact on history. That and their colorfulness, oh just thinking about it...I'm exciting myself too much." He blinked now turning over to Yan, excitement still on his face, "By the sounds of it I assume you grew up in the big city right?" He now wondered at the thought.

((Mmm I dunno actually... But I think it's more like Evangeline doesn't know much about this since she was the younger of the family. Since Diarmaid was the oldest, the responsibility of the family fell on him, so he'd be more knowledgeable in that aspect?)) "Something strange has turned up." Diarmaid answered simply. He wanted to make the conversation on the phone as short as possible because it was kind of hard to put what he had just witnessed into words. And plus, he wanted to make sure their conversation is secured and only known so far by the two of them. "It might be better if I tell you in person, do you have time?"

(That makes sense. Would he just have heightened senses around magic sources or would he be able to interact with them?)
There was a pause on the end before her voice returned. "I just finished a meeting with my team so I have about...four or five hours to spare before I need to return to our office. Should I go to your bookstore to meet with you?"

((Yeah I think he's just gonna be able to sense magic or something simple XD since they are quite distant. But I thought the Shimada Clan would have stronger magical traits :3)) "Let's meet outside, perhaps at a tearoom of some kind?" Diarmaid was readying his stuff as he spoke, grabbing some spare pens and also his wallet (cuz money :3) "there are people in the bookstore right now so it's kind of inconvenient." With all the stuff now safely tucked into his cape, he prepared to go downstairs.

Aegis☆. "The city sings its tune too." Rowlin turned over to Yan, "Some people prefer the city and may claim to want quietness. In the end when they finally get it, they hate it." He explained, "Not saying the results will be the same, but it is a high possibility." He observed, "Nonetheless; City life to some extend fits some people just like the country life fits others. Being in the know, or being in the day dreaming zone very." ((I'll let you lead this ship-)) "Evangeline, should time permit I will gladly love to sit down and make plans for such a trip. Perhaps we formally only met now, but I feel like we have known each other much more then we think." He stated considerately. Perhaps it sounded cheesy, but he was just expressing his inner most thoughts. "It would be a lovely time."

((Lol Diarmaid is taking the phone call so I can let him come down XD then he can continue his plot with Naomi :3)) "L-likewise..." Perhaps it was the unexpectedness of the first sentence, or maybe something else, but Evangeline felt suddenly embarrassed and unsure how to respond. She didn't used to be like this, she used to be great at communicating with others! Now it was all stammering and blushing that she didn't even know how they came up in the first time. "Evangeline, I'm gonna go out for a bit." Just that moment, her brother walked the down the staircase, his cape trailing behind him. He was definitely in a hurry. "Oh yes!" Evangeline stood up in a hurry, glad that there was a distraction of some sort. She quickly scooted out of the obstruction of the coffee table as she wanted to go over and formally say goodbye. "Sure, um... Do you need any-" She didn't have the chance to finish her sentence, however, as she felt herself trip over something beneath her feet. The timing couldn't be worse. But then again... It is usually after these circumstances that anyone's mind becomes preoccupied that they don't realize they are about to run into something. Panicking, she realized she was falling. Oh seven hells.

((#CapesIn2016ForTheWin)) ((Oh am I supposed to do something like this? )) Rowlin smiled, completely not realizing that he made the girl stutter. More like he was oblivious to the fact that he made her hush down. "Well; till then let's work our best." He replied brightly, his green gaze lit up at the thought of a future adventure. He blinked now turning his head silently towards approaching footsteps, he noticed Diamaid, O-Oh.... that guy I think I've seen him around.. When he addressed Evangeline he kept calm, Boyfriend, married, sibblingS? Maybe Yan told me the answer already but there's been so much done in so little time.. He blinked blankly. The next part was done more unconsciously rather then consciously. He had gotten out of his seat without hesitation; He noticed her falling then skid across the floor until he was able to grab her then pull her into him. He was sitting naturally a bit a way, so he had bent slightly back to catch her fall. "Are you alright?" Rowlin asked in concern. His actions haven't crossed his mind yet. THis young lady was in his arms, and he was well standing right there..
