@mintedstar/fur (Oh geez, the Valleanis have barely been brought up. What I can say about them is that there are ruins and temples scattered throughout the rps world that hint that Magic Borne use to be immortal. Kind of like in the sense that elves in many stories use to be immortal but fell due to their gods ignorance and pride. Whether Magic Borne decided to become mortal or if it was forced upon them, it's not really clear.
For positions of VDA teams, they actually use to have five positions. Detective, Field Partner, Tracker, Secretary, and Seeker. Seekers were people who dedicated their time to understanding magical items to help benefit their teams. Items like bracers, gauntlets, necklaces, or headpieces were used to give them a slight edge in battle. However, many agents that were Seekers became egotistic and prideful, so much so that the VDA feared that these agents might turn on them. Hence the position was removed and many Seekers left the VDA.)

mintedstar/fur This was a bad idea, oh how he dressed this situation. It always seemed like he was on the wrong side od the receiving end. the army, the academy, and serving the princess. ... Nobody likes me in either situation. Its almost scary to consider this as a trend.....Rowlin stood tall, his expression was at a most which hid well his regret for choosing to follow Tom. He coughed once before speaking once more. "I don't know what's going on when people jump over the edge on V.D.A mentions. I do not wish to find out nor ask. It's not my priority , my business, nor interest. I'm simply a transfer from across seas who is grounded from my duties. Tom helped take me out to the side away from the mainline of people to avoid getting electrocuted in front of them. For that i was grateful, but before that we were simply talking about history as it brought a very strong topic of interest. I am a history !major after all, and sometimes get to assist archeologists which is a hyping experience." He decided to leave pjt the fact that He electrocuted someone 1,000+ feet in the aor, as tp whether Tom was to bring it up was up to him. He paused now, with a disappointed sigh. "Pollution profit is cheaper , and easier. Efficiency on the other hand requires more time and constraint. But human hand has always been greedy. Back in the early 1900's the minors in Arizona were fighting for workers rights. I was visiting the state's at the time, and somehow a fire broke out in the mines. Just a fire right? Well-a few issues." He held out a hand to count. "One that mine was connected to one of the most popular hotels at the time. Two, that hotel was hosting a very important party that might. Three,those who couldn't afford to strike were working overtime that night. Four, all the elevators collapsed before or during the fire. Five, that mine was spread throughout the foundation of the entire town. It burned several other buildings, and the few sweres throughout town were fuming in smoke. Because the hptel was the main way in and out of the hotel there were many cacultlities from the minors and many residents throughout town. What was saved was eventually rebuilt. But the damage was done. Much death still lingers when I visit. The faint screaming still ringing when I go. Whether it was an accident, or intentional we will never know. If it was intentional was I the uniom, or the greedy corps? it did shu down the city mine, and create regulations afterwords. The biggest being no mines in town." He paused to ttake in a breath, something he has fprgotten to. "I was investigating the strikes, I didn't expect to stumble on a wide scale death." information for information, right?

Auransky(Hum...stuck as how to reply to that. *shrugs* Do my best I guess.) Both Tom and Eveline listened with modest interest. Eveline had pretended to be unaware of Rowlin's regrets of coming here. It was Tom's fault to begin with. He hadn't changed. Tom winced, as if sensing her thoughts or possibly Rowlin's, but staying true to Rowlin's request he didn't say anything. He was tempted, considering how his day had been going, but decided that Eveline would probably try and murder him if he explained. Eveline was the most interested in what Rowlin said, caring more about those fine details than Tom did. Tom preferred history as it related to himself. Eveline preferred history that had no connection to her at all. "Very interesting," she muttered, itching to pick up a pencil and write it down. Tom smiled as he saw her fingers twitch. She seemed to have forgotten the tension of earlier. Sometimes they were a little to alike for his taste.

mintedstar/fur ( Sorry >.< ) "History itself is interesting in itself." His expression beamed in excitement. To be able to express his thoughts first hand rather then forcing it out as third person was truly a nice change. He shifted his feet slightly along the ground with a but more confidence in his end. " history is what was once, and preserved for reference. But through psychology it can repeat itself. Technology, ideologies, greed, curiosity, ambitions. It's all the same at the end of the day just with varying approaches. Take the last dynasty of China for exaple. China asked the Mongols up north who had left them alone for almost two hundred years for help against their inner conflicts. The !Mongols laughed and took over China a second time creating the last dynasty of its time. ' He snapped his fingers, "as crazy as Mongols may be they don't overthrow the way of life. Instead they integrate into existing life and fade out in silence." He sneezed to the side before continuing, "I have an ambiton, it's to preserve what we know. It's to properly archive the true stpry, and write the story from two ways and not one. It's so the arguments and discussions carry more value and that we appreciate your independent cultures to the fullest."

( *brings out a few mental notes and questions* Anything more you can tell us about the Valleanis? Is there some history as to why four people work best in a detective unit?and I've got more, but I'll hold on them. ) Her post has "not finished" so I'm guessing she'll go ahead and add more later.) (Btw mist, what is a betrayed is you don't mind me asking? I get the defontion, but does it uphold the same way here in the story? Lol ) (Also Feather filler wise should we skip to a certain point, past and present?) ( Auransky I would say skip forward to where Celestia and Derrick are back at home with the trio. )

Auransky (Why? I'm the one who should be sorry. XD ) "Bless you," said Eveline automatically when Rowlin sneezed. Tom, who had found a pencil on the kitchen counter, started to spin it between his fingers. He was content with letting the two talk. He'd already had his turn at the cafe. "Just out of curiosity," said Eveline. "And you don't have to answer. But how old are you?" She had only been a vampire since 1666 and had no experience with Mongols. It had been before her time. Tom, however, was a lot older and even Eveline didn't know his exact age. Tom paused, the pencil held between his thumb and forefinger. He was clearly paying closer attention and wasn't even trying to hide it.

featherleg((Bouncing forward)) Damien was sitting along the kitchen bar reading up on his English work. He felt the need to push a little ahead before taking a break and doing other things. From time to time he couldn't help but look over at his father who was racing back and forth between the kitchen's island, and the counters surrounding it. Derrick was wrapping up everything to be prepared for dinner. It was a matter of time before everyone would rush down demanding for food. Then Celesta's brother was coming in for a visit, so the house was sure to get routey. He messaged Rowlin earlier, and had yet for a response. Whether the boy showed up tonight or a different night, would make no differnece. The kids were full of curiosity, so having guests was like buying them chocolate. mintedstar/fur"Thank you-" Rowlin bit his lower lip to prevent a second sneeze. He took in a quick breath to regain his sneeze fest. THe conversation was going well, everything was flowing and complications though in realm of possibility were all dormant. It was with the mention of his age in which he couldn't help but let out a laugh. A pretty heavy one too to be turning away to force himself to stop. Once stopped he returned his attention towards Eveline. His gaze relaxed in the soon to be answer. He used his left hand to tap the air as if tapping a table. "Age is but a number. With knowledge anyone can manipulate their back to accommodate their needs. B-But I'm sorry to disappoint, I'm probably younger then anyone in the area...the 1800's are still pretty young." He admitted shyly. "Just being a history major grants me the access to archive through deeper things." He leaned to his right. "But one thing I can say something someone of wisdom once told me that we shouldn't take words as truth. Rather as stepping stones to the answer we seek. A truth,and a lie too distant yet all the same. We just need to trust in ourselves." He smiled leaning slightly forward, a few strands of hair coupled behind his ears fell out of place.

AuranskyEveline looked a little disappointed, but Tom let out a burst of laughter, as if he had guessed everything that Rowlin would say. "Makes you younger than Eveline here, that's for sure. She's from the 1600s." Tom had no problems stating other peoples age, clearly. Eveline leaned forward and glared at him for interrupting and probably for laughing. "Yes, well, you could sit back and listen. It was an inquiry made by me." She turned back to Rowlin and leaned back into the couch. "I can't say I understand everything you just said about words being stepping stones, but what I did I agree with." Tom was surprised when he saw a fleeting smile cross her face. Could she really have gained the same interest as him in what this other vampire had to say? "Get rid of that look on your face, Thomas," she said without looking up. "Yes, ma'am," Tom joked back. He started tilting his chair back and forth again. "I never went to school like Thomas has. Though last I checked he hadn't done a refresher of it recently." "I did it in the 1980s! I don't need to go to school every ten years!" cut in Tom with ease. "Plus, stop trying to monitor my education." Eveline, wisely, ignored him. "I chose to live history first hand over reading about it. Which means I'm not always versed in the older side of it. Local history is my specialty. And since I seemed to have worked my way back to the reason you came here, what else where you interested in?"

AuranskySince getting home, Celestia had stowed herself away in her office, going through mountains worth of books as she tried to find any notes she had left on Rowlin and his strange circumstance. Such a trouble child....but still, an observant student. She sighed and then froze as she heard the door bell ring from downstairs. "It's too early for him to be here...." Her eyes widened as she realized only one other person could possibly be at their home at this hour. Standing in wait patiently outside the door was Aika, her arms crossed as her eyes scanned the clear drive away and forest behind her. Usually she kept her distance from the two, but seeing as though Rowlin and stumbled his way into the VDA as well as some other issues appearing in her agenda, a visit was necessary. Cel would know better than anyone what's wrong with me. Besides, she doesn't judge as heavily as Elizabeth would or be as.....flustered as Anna.

mintedstar/furTom's laughter was uncalled for on Rowlin's personal agenda. It was almost childsplay, but at the same time it helped him understand a bit more about Tom's character. Something he has learned through his years in teaching. Self centered perhaps? Still missing a few cues to be sure.. "E-Eveline..." He grasped quickly her name, it was perhaps the first or second time in this entire conversation that her name had been mentioned directly. "I personally would agree with you on the first hand history. It creates a bigger feel of belonging. At the same time it molds the importance of the event. There are many things I wish I could have been apart of, but thankfully first, second, and third person sources exist for such situations." He assured her. "But I think what you have had the opportunity to experience is a cool one." He smiled brightly at the thought. "But I still think it's rude to an extent to blurt out ages when uncalled for." He turned a somewhat darkened gaze over at Tom. It was only brief but enough to get his annoyance across, before returning back to Evelenine. "But look at it in an upside. If he's blurting ages as clear as day that speaks with certainty that you are in fact older then him. He's certainly just jelous, and looking to turn the glory around." He challenged, Tom faintly. He lastly shook his head, "But thank you for your time nonetheless. I should get going, I came ill prepared with burning questions. Perhaps some other time, at a more planned time we can meet and discuss history. There were some things I am most curious about Embra, and hope to learn from it before I return to Europe." He dipped his head in respect. ((Q.Q My original post-all gone)) featherlegDerrick herd the doorbell and nearly dropped down to the floor. Early?! This early...I'm not done yet! He turned to Damien who had leaned over the kitchen counter. "I-I can get that and stall?" Damien asked back. Derrick snapped his fingers, "Get that door, stall, and assure that food will be ready soon." Damien got off his stool, then made his way out of the kitchen and down the hall. He stopped by the stairway to speak out. "I'll get it!" Damien assured his mother, brother, and younger sister. Reaching the front door he paused, thinking of looking through the small hole like his father usually would always do. Seeing as it was still somewhat day, he shrugged it off and opened the door. It's just my uncle visiting- He blinked, his thoughts cut off seeing Aika standing outside the door. New Neighbor, student from Mom's school? A college student? Selling a product, spreading religion, was she a classmate of his? Has he never noticed her?"Hello, good evening." Damien stood upright his sage-green gaze meeting hers, similar to that of his mother's. "Is there something I can help you with?" He tilted his head slightly leaning out of the door yet keeping the door slightly shut, it was a natural unconscious habit with people who he was unfamiliar with.

Auransky Aika turned her head towards the door as it opened half way, her eyes looking with Damiens as she dropped her arms to her side. This must be Damien I'm guessing? It's been almost twelve years, no wonder why he doesn't remember me. "Well I would hope so, considering I'm your Aunt." She said with a smirk. Back when Celestia had told Aika that her and Derrick were expecting, she told her all of her kids would just call her Aunt Aika to avoid any confusion, though it was never stated whether she would be stated as Celestia's or Derrick's 'sister', she just assumed she would be Celestia's because of their Japanese heritage. "Honestly I'm a little disheartened you'd forgotten me Damien. Unless you've become some sort of prankster. I don't think your mother would approve of such behavior." Shaking her head, she titled her head to the side to try to get a better view of the entrance hall. "Are your parents home? I'm guessing they would be off the whatever your fathers making in the kitchen, I can smell it from here." From down the hall, two sets of curious eyes watched their older brother as both Kai and Viola bickered silently between themselves. "Who do you think it is?" "I don't know, barely anyone comes out here. Our house is far enough from the city that we don't get salesmen wandering around here." Kai shrugged his shoulders as he tried to quiet her down to hear the conversation better. "W-What if it's a ghost??" Viola asked in concern. "Ghosts don't exist V!" "Yes they do! I saw one the other day when I was back by the shed."

mintedstar/fur((I just hate it when you build a good or at least satisfactory type post and then it wont post because connection, refresh, back or anything we accidentally click on. >.< )) featherlegDamien stumbled back a little, opening the door quickly. "O-Oh...I-I'm sorry!" He quickly backed into the house waving for her just like an usher would. H-How could I forget? ..... His attention slightly gleamed down the hall then back towards Aika. "Mom is in her office working, and dad is on his day off. So he's going full out in the kitchen, they mentioned company,but-I didn't realize you were coming too." He blinked, now closing the door as she had walked in. Am I being lectured? ..... Scolded? .....Oh why does this dread... "Ah yes, feel free to use the house to your needs!" He quickly nodded, as he recalled his mother mentioning their home was just as right to family as it was to them. He couldn't help but turn his attention once more down the hall. I'm guessing they are down the hall.."Would you like a glass of water in the meantime?" He raised a brow. "I can get that for you, and if you need anything else I will be in the kitchen working on my homework."

AuranskyChuckling to herself, she waved her hand in front of her in an attempt to ease his stress. "Calm down Damien, it's alright! I've been rather busy with work so I haven't had the chance to visit that much so I apologize for showing up out of the blue." Her eyes glanced around the house, taking in the changes that had been made since she was last over before meeting back with Damien's gaze. "Thank you for the hospitality." She lightly bowed her head towards him before standing up straight. He's just like his mom, it's kind of funny. "Water would be great! I should probably say hi to your father first. Wouldn't want him to freak out over how many meals he's making." As Aika spoke, Viola and Kai tried to make hand signals to their older brother in an attempt to ask 'Who is she?' without speaking a word, though their faces were rather concerned. More so Viola's than Kai's.

Misty Having called Elizabeth later that night, Selena had put together her pack and reorganized her car. The only thing left was for Lucas to meet her outside the forest. If they were going to find Victor, it would be best to do so on Elizabeth's terms. Let's just hope they don't fight....again. (Feather, I think this is the post I need to reply to.) Lucas remained inside the house for a few minutes longer than he needed to. He stepped outside the door and stood on the porch for a moment and let out a sigh before heading into the forest to find Selena.

mintedstar/fur ((Thank you for reminding me! Gotta reply to broken on one of our Rp's xD)) featherleg "Everyone has been busy with work lately." Damien replied without much thought, then turned slightly at the realization of his comment. It was a thought he had observed but didn't intend to speak out on. Seeing his siblings hand signals he quickly thought of a way to reply without making it seem so obvious. "Well, it is a pleasure to have you here Ant, Aika!" He replied rather loudly enough to hear down the hallway where his siblings were. "Don't feel bad, tonight we have quite a lot of people stopping by to visit. I'm gonna go extend the dinner table for tonight, so I wouldn't be surprised to the rest of the company." He let out a sly laugh, "Dad certainly wont mind if you don't see him first. He wanted me to stall you so the surprise for dinner wouldn't be spoiled." He nodded now with more certainty. "But he might also be happy to see you too, so it's completely up to you." "I will go get you some water now, yes of course!" He backed away.

Auransky(Ouch, Rowlin. I feel Tom's pain. XD ) Tom winced. He'd hit a nerve. He'd tried to be as at ease around Eveline as he had used to be. He could see that the cool look in her eyes showed he might have pushed it a little to far. "That is Thomas ways. He has improved greatly since our last meeting, at least. Be glad you did not meet him back then." She held out her hand to shake Rowlin's. "And though I shouldn't be making excuses, he may act like a child some times, but he is far older than I am. He has is strengths and uses. Sometimes, though it is rare, he can even be wise." Tom's chair, which had been tilted on two legs, clunked back to the tile. He was surprised. Deeply surprised. "Come by any time," said Eveline. She reached into her pocket and passed Rowlin a business card. "Here's my work phone and email. Just promise you'll trade stories sometime." Tom nodded his farewell. "I guess we'll run into each other again. I drop by that cafe quite a lot." His face was uncharacteristically blank.

Auransky"It's the sad truth of growing up, but it's something that shouldn't be ignored." Aika said solemnly before blinking in slight confusion at his comment. "W-Well thank you for having me on such short notice..." Her hand rubbed at the back of her neck before she nodded. "Hm, I'll just say hi from the entrance of the kitchen then. Wouldn't want to throw him off too much." Recalling the lay out of the house, she walked over and leaned against the frame entrance of the kitchen before calling out to Derrick. "Are you cooking something new? I can't quite pin what it is." Once Aika had left the hall Viola run over to Damien, a smile spread across her face. "She's our Aunt?! You didn't tell us we had another Aunt!" Kai nodded in unison as he walked over. "I thought our only other blood relatives were Uncle Urian and Aunt Leila from Mom's side. Is Aunt Aika Dad's sister or does Mom just have a huge family we don't know about?" MistySelena took one last glance through her phones messages before putting her phone back in her bag. Elizabeth's not going to like this. Of all people to interfere with her, it has to be Dasco. The Crowned Eye has clearly become desperate if he thinks threatening Elizabeth would benefit him. Taking in a deep breath, her eyes wandered to the sky above her. It doesn't help that he took me in all those years ago and burdened me with his name. To think I trusted him...

mintedstar/fur((*snaps fingers* was hoping to set something off. xD)) ((I don't think there is an issue with following or causing some mischief for a bit either, right?)) The reaction was the least expected, but an answer swayed out in the most surprising of manors. So he is older, and she agrees of his childish ways.. He quickly awknowledged. "Be glad?" He couldn't help but repeat in the form of a question. "Huh...I will take your word for it." He stepped forward to gladly shake her hand back. "I do believe you on his childishness." He leaned forward in a whisper, while holding her gasp. "Our conversation in the cafe was almost a race to see who had boasting rights." He leaned out, releasing the grasp, then stepped back. "But it appears that through his masks, there is someone who deeply cares for the well being of those close to him." He took the card with a childish smile at the thought of sharing stories. "I will gladly bring you the scoops of Europe. And my goodness, we can go on for hours on them." He winked in appreciation, "Thank you again, and no worries-i'll show myself out." With that he headed for the door, once out he closed it behind him then walked off. A somewhat sigh of relief escaping his breath once on the other side. This was the last thing I expected all week-He took out his cellphone to check, seeing a new message he opened it up and blinked. Oh I got a reply....a few hours ago-great...I guess I should head there next right?featherlegDamien bent down to meet Viola's gaze. She seemed both curious and excited by the looks of it. "Yea, that's Aunt Aika. She doesn't pop up too much, but she is blood according to mom and dad." He gazed slightly up to consider the question. "I think Mom has a huge family we just don't know about. I mean-the world is a big place right? Maybe we can look on one of those family heritage sites later and see if we find more family..." But dad also says they are scandals for easy money...Derrick blinked turning his attention over towards the corridor. Hearing Aika's voice he blinked in surprise. "I was expecting Urian and Rowlin, I wasn't expecting you!" His voice clear as day in the surprise. "But.." He swallowed letting out a large puff of bread, "You are one of the many lucky customers tonight, we're eating Curry, I had some of the things bought from the authentic Japanese shop downtown." He spoke in a calmer manor. "But if you don't mind me asking, what brings you here on such short notice?" He tuned down the flame from the stove, then grabbed a quick wet towel to clean his hands before approaching Aika.

Auransky(Work harder. XD ) Eveline chuckled. "Yes, that is his way." She watched Rowlin go without saying anything more. Only when the door closed did she turn her gaze to Tom. Tom was out of the door faster than the words 'Get back here right now!' where fully out of her mouth. He rushed past Rowlin with his cellphone and shouted, "Bye!" as he ran down the three flights of stairs. His legs only stopped moving when he was a couple of blocks away. (Boy, those two have problems... Now who do I RP will, I wonder...)

mintedstar/fur((So Tera the game I'm obsessed with is coming to PS4 and Xbox 1. My brother is like, you aren't gonna play that on my consoles. I'm like "Who bought your Xbox?" )) ((Those two seem to have an up down relationship. But I don't think there would be any objections for Row being followed just cuz. Worst comes to worst that house of danger just comes up and gobbles the stranger whole. Mind wiping, threatening etc. )) ((I mean earlier tom was eager to meet those friends of mine. xD It would be like a wedding crasher, but dinner addition. )) ((At the same time I could also make another character hmmm.... decisions... decisions. btw LOVE YOOUR KID AVATAR)) Rowlin had finished his reply, and right before heading down the stars he leaned out to the side to allow Tom to race past him. It was a surprise indeed, it was the least expected thing to do. It was probably a bad idea to come with this guy in the first place. It was clear that this guy was on some people's to kill list. Had he been a knight to the princess-he would have been hang at first sight... Making his way down the stairs, he thought quickly of his options. Going back to the VDA to pick up his bike which he left in the lot would be a good way to go. It was a long walk, and in such a short time he wouldn't make it. He could cheat and run, but he would perhaps be electrocuted for even stepping a bit out of line. He sighed agreeing to himself that his bike would be the best of options. Once down the stairs he made a turn in the opposite direction while keeping his phone out to google directions for the home he was to visit.

Auransky"Wow! I wonder what she does, I mean work wise, to be so busy." If she was anything like her mother, that must mean she was dedicated to her job. "Damien, why haven't Mom or Dad mentioned her before to us?" Kai asked nervously. "They talk about Urian and Leila all the time, but I've never heard of them mention her once to us." From other kids at his school, he'd heard of some families having a bad cousin, aunt, uncle, you name it. We couldn't possibly have that in our family, right?Aika raised a brow at the mention of Rowlin but smiled nevertheless. "Well it smells great, but anything you cook always does." She checked behind her to see if Damien was still behind her before walking over to the kitchen island, her arms resting on the surface before speaking. "I've run into some personal issues that I'm afraid are causing...delays in my investigation. Was wondering if you or Celestia knew anything about the matter that could help me."

Auransky (Oh, cool! Looks like fun. ) (Very much an up down relationship. I'm still trying to figure out if I want them to get back together or leave it as an open wound. Probably the latter...) (Tom's following him then. XD ) (Unless you want to make a new character...decisions decisions ) (Thank you! You think that's good? You should see my folder devoted to him. (Edit: Well, him and other characters that appear in the crossover RPs I'm in.) XD But the ones that look good as wallpaper don't look good as avatars and there were just to many ones that did well as avatars. So I choice the one that was easiest to credit. Because I'm lazy. ) Rowlin was right in most senses. Tom was on a list, but it was probably titled 'Question him until he breaks' list. Eveline was near the top of that list and Thomas really didn't want to answer anything. Tom stopped, leaning against the wall of an alley. He walked as people walked past and was surprised to see Rowlin walking along with his phone in his hand. Even though the other vampire was across the street Tom still pressed himself to the wall of the alley. He didn't want Rowlin to think he was following. Then he paused, because where was Rowlin going? Was it would be worth it to actually follow him? Thinking his reputation as already shattered enough, Tom grinned. Why not? He slid down the wall until he was behind a garbage can. Then he waited. Following him shouldn't be hard, right? Tom might be a little out of practice, but he could still be pretty stealthily.

featherleg Damien leaned back a little at the new question at hand. "Well..." He paused to consider. "I mean it was almost a long time since I last saw her." He admitted. "I was little, and I hardly remember her... but." He crossed his arms now standing to consider it deeply. "It could just be she is I dunno... from out of the country? Mom has a Japanese heritage, if I remember back to my 3rd grade cultural project." He considered yet it was a question he held himself. He shrugged it off, "Don't worry about it Kai. We live in the woods, or at the start of the woods. I think we have odder things to worry about then a few random people coming." He snapped his fingers now, "Let's just assume Dad has some secret government job, and he has to meet up with people. Like those 80's movies dad wont stop obsessing about. He does work for the fire station, it could just be a cover." Derrick smiled with a full nod. He didn't notice the expression change with the mention of names, seeing as the day was full of surprises, minor details were flying here and there. "Oh-please don't flatter me, my cooking is nowhere good as someone who seriously dedicates their time to the kitchen. Between work and the kids I'm running." He laughed then quited down to shift his attenion directly at her. "Trouble huh?" He tilted his head at the thought. "Personal trouble, or just dead ends?" He waved a hand discarding the thought. "Well whatever it is, I'm certain Celestia might be able to help with your troubles. I myself can shuffle around town as the station I work at has keys to just about everything for inspections." He considered. mintedstar/fur ((Don't think there should be an issue-it might go full way, or stop halfway. Let's see what happens.)) Rowlin continued his way through the streets, making his way for the VDA building. Seeing as the building wasn't too far it was somewhat of a relief. But still that Tom fella is lifting me with questions... He thought to himself. But Eveline mentioned 40 years ago-I might need to pay her a private visit...and see what I can pry from her....she may just have a link, a piece, or even a fragment I am looking for..... He considered. Tom is older then her... but still acts childish....tch... must have had a better childhood. But still-a troubsome fella... He silently smiled. I may need to pry information from him as well, just to see if he has anything I dearly seek....He activated his bike's GPS to find his way back to the VDA's lot faster. Speeding through he picked up his pace, not running but speed walking of sorts. On a down side, with his restrictions in place, his senses were completely off, so he was unaware of being followed in the first place.

AuranskyKai seemed conflicted over the manner, but he just nodded in agreement. "If you say so Damien." Both Viola and Kai's eyes widened at the thought. "B-But Dad really does work at the fire station! He has the outfits and gear to prove it!" "Yeah, but those could just be props V. We don't know if he actually is-" "He IS a firefighter! Remember that injury he got last year? It was a burn, you both said it yourself when I asked..." "Personal trouble." She said quietly. "You know I try to avoid meddling in human affairs as much as possible, but it seems like I've fallen into something I can't get out of." She took once last glance over her shoulder before speaking against. "Whether it was an accident or a decision I made on accident, I've become tethered to someone. I'm no longer a Blood Seeker Derrick. If the Court finds out about this, if my brother finds out about this...everything I've done in the last fifty years will meaning nothing."

Auransky (Eveline may have a new person vying for the top position on that list. XD ) Tom, thanks to a fire-escape, was now following Rowlin over the rooftops. He was a couple of house back and still keeping low. When Rowlin didn't stop at the VDA building for long the vampire (now on the roof of the cafe across the street) became even more interested. Thomas didn't even need to speed up to match Rowlin's new speed. But soon he reached a space between two building that was to wide. Well, to wide to jump without attracting attention from the person he was following. He jumped into another side alley. This street was a little busier, and plus, he'd parked his pickup truck here. Rowlin had never seen it, and... Tom took out his car keys, willing to let Rowlin get a little further ahead. He was swift, faster than Rowlin who couldn't travel at vampire speeds. He pulled his truck out of the alley and started driving down the street, overtaking Rowlin. He was glad that this street had to lanes and was careful to keep one between him and the person he was following. He watched him in the rear-view mirror, watching to see if he turned.

featherleg Damien jumped at their surprised conflicted responses. "W-Woa! Wait!" He tried to control the flow. "I said maybe, not saying it to be true!" He tried to assure the two. "I just-was trying to kid.. Dad is a fireman for sure, I know that for sure. But anyways.." He shrugged in disappointment, "Dad is a firemen!" He slammed a hand against the air as if slamming a pretend table. "He is a firemen, and she is our aunt visiting. Case closed." He assured. But still...Derrick leaned against the counter now, "Human affairs are hard when you try to go to a supermarket and act human." He stated softly, wanting to joke about it but knowing her, it was completely out of affairs to joke on a matter. "W-Wait Tethered?!" He forced his elbow forcefully against the counter. "You what to whom!?" His darkened brown eyes widened in surprise to this turn of events. He approached Aika, then gently grabbed her by the wrist. "Celestia's office, now.." He scolded, then forcefully led her out of the kitchen for his wife's quarters. She was busy, he knew, but this was far more important at this point. A princess whom I love like a daughter,still gets into trouble the minute we turn around..Stopping outside Celestia's room he knocked, "Hey sweety, we have more trouble on our doorstep. I think school work can wait a bit." He released Aika's grasp, realizing he hadn't let go at this point. I'm getting scolded for this later aren't I?"You need to tell us everything you can, so we can work from there." Derrick waved a rather stern finger. This was not a light matter, it was a huge concern. Heart Seeker.... why..... and how? And to whom? Was it good, bad or is it going to be the killing blow to all of our stories..mintedstar/furOnce at the VDA lot, he quickly ran over for his bike, and put on the helmet. The design of the bike was slim, an rather custom for your top of the mill bikes. The bike lit up letting out a rather blue glow from the sides. With the helmet on, he turned on the night mode, so he would have a better chance to see. Before going he adjusted an ear piece in which he bluetoothed to his phone. Afterwords he securly adjusted his messanger bag. With everything in place he headed out of the lot, and down through the roads. The GPS telling him through his earpiece where to go. He didn't take much importance into the truck which had passed him. He still wasn't familiar with the norms of Embra. Everything was just too different. A call did make its way into his thoughts, he answered it with a shrug. "I'm going out-track me for all I care. I will not and am not doing anything out of line." Rowlin assured the caller. He turned his attention elsewhere ignoring much of what was being yelled at on the other end. "I'm not-you know what! Fine...I'm going on a date, happy? No missions, no assignments, no work. A date-D.A.T.E...okay good! Report that, put it in big bold words for all I care. I'm going to have dinner with someone other then myself. " "Goodbye!" He quickly paused as he almost passed the intersection he was to turn on. He was so annoyed by the call he turned illegally stealing the other end to go back into the intersection he passed. Not a lot of people at the moment, so one or two bad turns wont hurt right?
