Lucas shook his head slightly before shrugging. "It's not how much I learned about myself that I'm struggling with. It's what I learned. One of those things was something I didn't want to ever know about myself. I guess that's what I'm struggling to accept."

(Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't been on as I'd like to. I love roleplaying here, but I got a lot going on this semester. I was put into head of props for both this semester, so I'm still trying to find some time get on here in between schoolwork and rehearsals. But I'm still around, I didn't abandon everything! >.<)

(Not a problem! I'll repost the last reply I wrote for you soon.) Misty"So are you just going to bury everything up again? Act like we never met?" She asked with a small quiver in her voice.

Lucas shook his head as he pushed a hand through his hair. "Look, this isn't what I'm struggling to accept. I had an "oh [shoot]" moment when I found that out, but that's about it." He paused before continuing. "It's something else that I'm struggling with. Believe me, it has nothing to do with you."

"O-Okay." She nodded as she placed her chin on top of her knees. "I just....I don't want to be forgotten again. I spent most of this life alone. I don't think I can afford to be in that state anymore." Misty

"You won't be forgotten," Lucas reassured her. "And it wasn't intentional that I did. When I finally came back to it after being turned, I couldn't remember much about myself. I-I was terrified, and I had to find a way to deal with it."

Selena turned her head towards him with a smile of relief and a few tears brimming around her eyes. "T-Thank you brother. I know life's been brutal and unfair but...we have each other now."

"I think brutal is a bit of an understatement," Lucas said as the words he would use to describe his life popped into his head. He then nodded slightly, not quite sure how heavily he would lean on Selena for support. After being on his own for so long, he knew that an adjustment wouldn't be easy.

She laughed as she wiped a few tears away. "I guess you're right." Her gaze turned back towards the lake, her hands lazily tracing over the glyphs and marks on her arms. "To be honest, I wasn't turned like you were. I'm not like the others around us, and I'm not completely sure what I am either. I've learned to master a few things: teleportation, mind reading, ice and water manipulation, control over energy. Still...I don't know what I am or how all this came to be. My goal with working with Elizabeth is to learn what I am and how I can be an instrument for good, for better."

Lucas nodded once slowly, not quite hearing her until after he nodded. He then raised an eyebrow as he gave Selena a confused look. "I feel like a good person would ask how you were turned, but I really don't want to know the answer. All this magic stuff is pretty new to me, and I'm not sure I want to know all about it. I got by without it for years, and I really don't see a need to change that now." He paused and pushed a hand through his hair. "But seriously, that's pretty cool that you've learned all that. But like I said, magic isn't for me."

"Well, I guess I should get going too. Unless you two need me for anything?" he said, standing still in anticipation. Maybe he keep a closer eye on Dalton. Surely, Aika noticed that his illness was passing the point of normal?

(Don't worry, it's no shorter then mine.) Tom looked up from his scrubbing and saw the approaching Lily. Whipping his wet hands on the extra towel hanging from his belt he set down the wet towel. He didn't know this girl, so she probably wasn't a vampire, but she could possibly be a VDA agent. "Hello?" he asked hesitantly. "May I help you?" His hands still dripped water and he was sopping wet, but at least most of the cars were clean. Maybe she was here to buy one. Rosestar(Our last RP post.)

"Would you mind?" Her eyes gestured towards Dalton with a worrisome look, the overall message being to get him home. While she could take Dalton back by driving his car, there was no easy way of her getting back unless James drove along with them in his car and then drove Aika back, which itself was a bit of an annoyance.

Misty "What I've learned took years to master. I still have a lot to learn, and I'm thankful enough I had so much time to be able to cast the spells I can. It does take a toll on me though, in ways that differ from what regular bloodlust can do to you." She lightly sighed. "The glyphs and ruins appeared when I awoke. They all react differently to me and how I interact with the world. I get frustrated sometimes with them when they randomly glow or connect like electricity. It's like they're speaking to me but I can't understand them. I wish I could...."

"You certainly can sir. I'm looking to make a purchase, something good but cheap." Lily stayed confident, as she always did, but it was a little odd this man seemed so nervous to help her out. Was he new? She'd been to this car lot a handful of times before, but never for long and she had never seen him before. Yeah, he must be new. Maybe she could get a better deal off of him then, if he wasn't quite in the swing of things.
James nodded. "Come on Dalton, we've bothered our dear Aika enough for now. I'll drive you back. I'll let you know when we're both back safely." he added to Aika, frowning when Dalton only nodded in response. Maybe things were worse than he thought? Maybe he should schedule an appointment with Dr. Mori? For now, he could only nudge him out the door.
"Alright alright, I'm moving. Geez, kick me to the curb why dontcha?" Dalton grumbled as the sun momentarily blinded him, making his headache even worse. Yuck. And to think he still had things to do today, but for the life of him he couldn't recall what they were. "Not gonna get the door for me, sir chauffeur?"
"Just get in the car Dalton." James said tiredly.

Aika sighed as she walked alongside James. "Call me if it gets worse, alright?" She whispered towards him, her face covered with a look of anxiety as her left arm gripped to her right elbow. She knew she could trust James with him, but could she honestly trust Dalton with himself?

James nodded grimly. "I'm hoping it won't have to come to that. Maybe we should..." his voice trailed off as he watched Dalton sink into the seat, like he hadn't sat down in days. He didn't want to say it, but the words just jumped out of his mouth- "Maybe we should discuss what to do if it does later."
Dalton knew they were talking about him. How could they not be? His dumb friends cared about him. I need to keep my cool so they don't freak out. I'm not going crazy, I'm just sick. And tomorrow, I'll be fine again. And if I'm not, by God I'm going to fake it til I make it. It wasn't fair to have them worry when Dalton himself didn't even know what was wrong- right now, that was his problem, and not theirs.

"I'll get Doctor Moriko to send a staff unit. Maybe an ambulance if needed." She said with a quick nod. "It's just...he's never been this sick before. And I don't want him pushing this off like homework. This is his well being we're talking about." She lightly leaned against the frame of the doorframe, her arms crossed. "I trust you James. Just make sure he doesn't do anything dumb for the next few minutes."

"The next few minutes, I can handle." James said, almost relieved that he wasn't the only one considering bringing the doctor into it as well. "I've already mentioned some of what was happening to her. It wasn't this bad at the time however, so quickly catching her up might not be a bad idea." he added, trying not to make his occasion glances at their friend obvious.
Dalton took a deep breath. He adjusted his glasses, if not for anything but to make him feel like he was in control again. Slowly, to avoid suspicion, because God knew they were bound to be watching, he sat up straight, like nothing had happened. There. That wasn't too hard, now was it? he said to himself. Still keeping his weak composure, he rubbed his temples, just for a moment, to try to find some relief. Everything is perfectly normal in this car, yes sir.

"I'll try my best to. You should get going before the rain picks up again, don't want to lose visibility right?" She quickly said goodbye to James and weakly waved towards Dalton before closing the door to her apartment. Once she heard James had moved away from the door and out of earshot, her body moved with unnatural quickness to the sofa, collapsing right before it with her upper body laying on top. Her head throbbed in pain as she could feel her eyes pulse from the growing headache she had been keeping down. Desperately her hands searched the armrests of the couch. Once finding a small string they quickly undid it and removed the decorum lid or the armrest to reveal several medium sized viles that were frozen. In one quick motion she bit into it only to find the pain halved and the hunger stil lingering like an open wound. ( Rosestar)

"Not gonna get the door for me, sir chauffeur?" "Just get in the car Dalton." James said tiredly. (Hey Rose! ) Tom's shoulders untensed ever so slightly and he breathed with relief just a little. "What model of car would you prefer? We don't really have any of the newer versions of most of them, but we have some good makes if your interested." Tom tried not to glance at his waterproof watch. He expected to go on lunch soon, and the more time he spent in the open the higher the chance the VDA would catch sight of him. "Would it be to much trouble to have some other person show you the cars," he asked. "I have an...uh...important errand to run..." Tom didn't lie very well. He could lie at cards, but when it came to a possible VDA agent he could only sound confidant when he knew for sure that they really had nothing to hide.

Lucas nodded once before becoming uncomfortable at the mention of bloodlust. "Still, it's pretty cool that you've been able to learn all that." You've been able to do something with your life, he thought as he let out a sigh before pushing a hand through his hair. "So, what do you remember about me?" He asked softly. "Because I didn't remember anything about you until I did the memory search."

"I suppose. Learning was surviving for me." She pondered his question as a few glyphs on her arms glowed in a sunset orange. "I remember your child, and your wife. I remembered that you were stubborn, but loyal and trustworthy. We were closer than our other siblings. I don't remember much about them. I know you disappeared, and your wife came to me asking where you went. I went searching for you, and then...and then they found me. Said I was worthy of their powers. Everything else felt dark and cold. I felt frozen. And then I woke up." The glyphs returned to normal as a bit of color of her skin became bruised around her arms.

Lucas nodded once, looking across the lake as she spoke. "That's more than I remembered on my own," he admitted. "I knew that I was married, and I knew that my wife was pregnant, but I couldn't remember their names or their faces. And I knew I had four siblings - a brother and three sisters - but I wouldn't have been able to tell you who was oldest and where I fell in age order. I'm able to now, thank God. But I wouldn't have been able to tell you how close we were." He let out a sigh before adjusting his sitting position. "I'm not sure I want to know who 'they' is," he said. "And I'm not sure which change is preferable - the one I went through or the one you went through."
