Aegis☆.((Class went in quite the oddest of directions. It went from lecture, to tanking, to quit being a baby, to why women choose between decide, to all the way to the class just going "OOOOOOOOOOOO" over and over again. xD)) Rowlin smiled warmly at the victory on his side. Just seeing her pout just amused him. It was childlike, and cute to some extent. His eyes skimmed around the shelves once more just skimming at all the products. He noticed some candy on the side that was highly decorated in gleaming colors; so he picked up a box. Looks tasty.. "Alrighty!" He snapped his fingers, "Get what temps you, and let's slowly start to make our way for the counter." He stated in a very enthusiastic tone.

There was a slight pause before the door opened. A rather sickly looking Elizabeth appeared behind it, her hair tied in a loose ponytail, her eyes flushing between a piercing blue and a haunting purple. "Alright, let's get this started." She motioned for him to enter as she walked over to the table centered in the room. There was a translucent cube in the center and two cups of what appeared to be tea set next to it. There was a strong odor that filled the room: a mix of lavender and sage. "Once this starts, I'll need to search your memories for at least an hour. Any less and I won't pertain anything." Misty Lucas stood at the door for a moment, hesitant to enter Elizabeth's office. He let out a deep breath before following her inside and looking around. He stood against one of the walls, still not wanting to go through with this. After she spoke, he just nodded once as he bit his lower lip. He didn't want to give away his doubts, but his body position certainly was.

Elizabeth's brows furrowed as she studied Lucas for a brief moment. "If you're not fully committed then I suggest postponing this. This won't work unless you've accepted the fact that, whatever I find, you'll probably be a different person by some degree. Well, that and I need you to relax. If I can't get through to you right now I surely won't be able to get into your mind."

Lucas briefly crossed his arms before dropping them and letting out a sigh and pushing a hand through his hair. He knew that if he didn't do this now, he likely wouldn't ever do it. And as much as he didn't want to do it, he had a feeling that it was something he should do. "Look, I'm as ready as I'll ever be for this. I know that if I wait any longer, I'll come up with a reason to not do this."

"Alright. Take a seat then." She gestured towards the chair that had it's back facing towards the door as she made her way to the chair that was on the other side of the table.
(Man I wish I could beef up this post but like whatever, it will do.)

(Also I'm thinking of making a new rp but I'm going to limit it to be three-four other rpers. It will probably be a fantasy setting with some DnD aspects with a two character limit. If you're interested let me know.)

(I'm not sure I can join. I'm barely on here, and it's sometimes hard to find enough creativity to type a response. I'm procrastinating on one for another roleplay at the moment.)
Lucas nodded once before walking to the chair and taking his seat in it. He crossed his arms after pulling down his shirt sleeves, waiting for Elizabeth to begin? Was he afraid of this? Hell yeah. Would he admit to that? No fricking way.

(It's all good Misty! If you ever want to join just let me know ^^ )
Elizabeth sat down across from him, picking up the translucent cube in her left hand before speaking. "This gem is called a Calcite. They're rather easy to come by for the most part, but the reason why people of my generation use these is so we can the energy or power of barriers into it. It makes retaining memories much easier for me in the end. Anyways...whenever you want to start, just take the cup of tea in front of you and drink it. I'll do the same once you start. That's all there is to it, or at least to start it."

(I will ^^ Question: What's the time frame for Generation 3? Like, how many years ago did it begin and end? I've been meaning to ask this.)
Lucas reached for the cup of tea after she finished speaking and set it down near the edge of the table in front of him. He rested his elbows on the table and let out a sigh as he looked at the cup. "It's now or never," he mumbled to himself before picking up the cup again and taking a sip from it.

(Well Gen. 1 started roughly 500-400 years ago, Gen. 2 and 3 would have started around the same time so I'd say Gen. 3 would be about 350-290 years prior to our current timeline.)
Elizabeth followed suit. Luckily she had done this before, so the taste wasn't as pungent as it was beforehand. Once they had both finished their drinks, Elizabeth quickly grabbed Lucas's left arm with her right, her eyes closing.
(This is where the mind search begins, so if you want Lucas to have like a flash in his mind or something along those lines that works with me.)

(Okay ^^ It seems that I need to alter my timeline for him to make it fit within that range.)
As Elizabeth grabbed his arm, Lucas' thoughts immediately went to one of his clearest memories - being turned into a vampire.
- snazzy flashback -
He was surprised, to say the least, when the other male bit him on the neck. He immediately took a knee and pressed his right hand where he had been bitten, thinking that would stop the pain from running through his body. "What the [um] did you do to me," he mumbled weakly as he kept his gaze on the ground, unable to make eye contact with the other male. "Just stop the burning," he mumbled as he placed his left hand on the ground to steady himself. He was convinced that this was his end. He wouldn't be able to see his wife or raise a family or - my wife, he thought as an image of her came to mind. She'll be alone with her - our - child. "You're a..." he started, unable to finish because of the pain.
(Well, I hope that works xD)

(That works fine! Would you mind doing one more flashback of Rebecca turning just so we can build that relationship more?)

(Yeah I think that would work. Oh maybe Lucas telling her to run from something? Like whoever ends up turning him?)

(I've always pictured his turning as something that happens while he's alone and it's dark out.)
- snazzy flashback -
My wife, he thought again before having another flashback. This time, it was to his wedding day approximately two years prior, and this time, it was completely clear for him. He stood at the altar, and as he waited for his bride to walk down the aisle, he glanced over at at the best man - his younger brother - before glancing at the rest of his family where they were sitting. Rebecca sat at the end of the aisle, and all he could think about was their conversation from the prior night. --- "I'm not sure I want to do this," he admitted to his sister as he paced around the room. He looked over at her to see her sitting in a chair. "Can't we call the wedding off?" "You need to relax," she said, standing and walking toward her oldest brother. "It's just nerves." She gave him a look, which only caused him to shake his head. "Rebecca, I-" he began, only to be cut off. "Daniel, stop. We both know that..."
- end snazzy flashback -
Lucas suddenly gripped the edge of table with his right hand, clearly trying to process what his memories had just revealed. Never had he wanted to admit that he hadn't remembered his birth name and was forced to rename himself. And maybe worse than that, he had immediately recognized Rebecca as Selena. Had he known they were the same, he wouldn't have told her to stay out of his business in the way that he did.

There was long, drawn out silence before Elizabeth spoke, her voice shaking. "I-I'm so sorry....." Her hand had released his arm a few minutes, but it was still trembling from stress of search. "That's all I can bring back right now. Your mind has so many walls in it, it took most of the search to break them. However...I do think you have someone you need to talk to."

After Elizabeth released his arm, Lucas rested both his elbows on the table before burying his head in hands, not sure what to say. "This was a mistake," he said quietly as he shook his head. "I-I didn't think it would be this bad." He finally lifted his head before shaking it again. "Consider this the final time you search my mind. I don't need to deal with this [crap]. And if you tell anyone anything, so help me." He stood before turning to leave, only remaining there long enough to hear her response. While he recognized that he probably did need to talk to Selena, he didn't want to. At least, not while he was trying to process everything else.

"I didn't-" Before she could say anything else, she clasped her head in pain as a slow trickle of blood trailed from her nose. "I-If that's how you want to treat someone you seeked help from, then f-fine. I don't need to say anything. I-I did...only what you requested." She carefully pulled herself from her chair, her hands gripping the ends of the table. "Go on, leave. There's nothing left for you to do here."

Lucas remained still for a moment, looking at Elizabeth but not feeling the need to explain what he had meant - that he didn't have an issue with her, only with what the search had uncovered. He wordlessly turned and left her office, wanting to be alone to try come to terms with the memories that had been uncovered. He didn't get very far from her door before stopping and pushing a hand through his hair and dropping his head. "This was a mistake," he mumbled.

Having heard footsteps exiting Elizabeth's office, Selena peered down the hallway towards her brother. She wanted to yell at him, or run towards him. Ask if he remembered. Ask him if he missed her. If he still loved her like he had before. And yet...she remained still. She couldn't move, not an inch. Maybe because he had told her to stay away. Not involve herself. Maybe it was because he scared her. She wasn't sure what the answer was, just the stacks of questions she held for him.

Lucas brought his head back up slightly as he began walking down the hallway toward Selena. Once he was near her, he stopped and looked at her. "I-I," he began, before dropping and shaking his head. "I don't know where to begin," he admitted as he looked up again. "But maybe we could do this outside or something. I-I don't want others to overhear anything."

Selena blinked a few times before nodding, her hands brushing away whatever tears that were leftover from earlier. She then reached out towards his shoulder, her right arm markings glowing as a flash of light consumed them for just an instant before bringing them to what seemed to be the Sakura Gardens, even more so they were by the lake, right next to one of the statues that only could be seen from across the massive body of water. "I like coming here." She stated quietly as she dropped her arm from his shoulder. "No one knows how to get here. It's...really calming to be somewhere others can't go."

Lucas nodded once as Selena spoke before sitting on the ground where he was. "And I guess that's what I need right now," he said as he got comfortable on the ground. "To be somewhere others aren't, to be alone... I think that's what I might need. Then again, I've been told I don't always cope in the healthiest way, so who the hell knows if this is actually helpful."

Selena sat down next him, her gaze focused on the lake in front of them. "You know, it's strange. Everyone in the city loves the gardens for the most part. Yet, no one knows who built it or who planted the thousands of trees here. There's no plaque saying "in honor of" or anything like that. It's just here."

"Maybe it's meant to be one of those things you don't know much about," Lucas said with a shrug. "Or maybe whoever is responsible for it doesn't want to take credit." Or, maybe you're just mentioning it as a metaphor for something you want to talk to me about. "But I wouldn't know much about it. This is the first time I've been here."

"It's probably the second option." She said with a nod, as if reassuring herself. "Regardless, it's a lovely place. Not many cities have gardens like this." Hers hands fiddled with the ends of her shirts as she sighed. "I....I'm glad you finally remember me. It feels nice to not be a stranger anymore."

"I wouldn't know that," he said, looking across the lake. "Cities really haven't been my thing since they started using surveillance cameras." Lucas then let out a sigh, unsure of how to respond to her final set of statements. "Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not sure doing what I did was for the best," he said softly. "Now I have to deal with what I learned, and I really don't want to. It's a lot for me to process."

"Your stubbornness always amazes me." She lightly shrugged as her arms crossed over her knees. "You don't have to accept everything right now. I don't think anyone has the capability to. You can accept whatever you feel like is worth a day, a week, a year. I think that's a bit healthier for most."
