I had fun with yall, and am super sorry that I'm leaving this rp, my hopes of leaving enough rps will able me to become more active on this website a eventually, slowly, return to each rp. One again I'm super sorry and hope yall aren't mad or anything.. Bye for now, I hope to join again soon.. (note this will probally be copied and pasted to each one I'm leaving, born to be wild is the original rp I wrote this on and I apoligize if I acidently includded random info about that rp)

(Hey there! I'm not forgetting to write I just keep pushing things back. And I'm a bit annoyed with myself for not writing as much as I should. I try to prioritize but everything crumbles down the moment I get distracted with another task.
Anyways- next week a line of bad weather is coming in. I don't know how active I'll be but a power outage might slow things down (if it happens) but I'm afraid if I don't get anything in soon I'll get too wound up in the weather and I genuinely won't remember to have something up here.
Right now I'm trying to find a middle ground between role-playing and house work. I understand that the role-playing here is laid back and casual but I feel I've been neglecting an in-character response too long. Who knows, maybe writing more of Javalle's story get my spirits back. But I can't force myself to. I genuinely enjoy most of the stuff I write for him, and my momentum to do that fell off. Hope you all understand. I try not to get too negative here because it's not the point of storytelling or anything. But I wanted to let y'all know what's happening!)

Lexa takes a few steps towards Maria and places her hand on her chest. "You have my word." If their dad tried anything, she would bite back. Leon wondered just what kind of person this Javelle guy was. He seemed to have both of his sisters dedicated to his safety? He gives his shoulders a shrug before walking away to give his sisters some alone time.
Michael motions to a gray and white pick up truck. "Door is open by the way." He didn't have anything of value in his truck so he wasn't worried about someone trying to break in. "Like I said he's a strange one." He climbs into his truck and once Selene was inside, and starts it up. He pulls out of the parking lot and starts driving towards the station.

Javalle's focus was kept mainly on Jack as the werewolf flipped through the aged pages of a dusty book. They'd never seen such a primitive tome. Why would it be placed here, when all other stories had such superfluous titles? It stuck out like a sore thumb, almost as if the book was the driving force behind some vengeful evil.
A flinch and a shaky hand reached out, diverting Javalle's attention. The shifter hadn't a clue why an introduction caused such a panicked reaction, but the affirmation on the stranger's name was welcoming. He shared a brief sideways smile, mutually shaking Adeline’s hand. “Likewise. I am Javalle. Come on Jack," he replied with a teasing simper, "Let's get your mind off those books. I’ll give you a tour to our computer labs.”
With the paranormal aisle being located at nearly the back of the library, it took a bit of context to find the computer facilities. Outside of reading a couple of labels on displays or bookshelves, getting to the destination was an easy feat. Greeting the trio was a lounge of sorts, complete with armchairs and a couple of work desks. The main attraction, of course, were the computers, arranged in a circular formation with barriers between each desktop. About ten of these table sets were spread comfortably apart. Javalle had seen college students coming here occasionally, searching articles for their thesis papers. Thankfully, the work area seemed vacant today. That would provide some security over their… atypical search.
Javalle politely motioned for Jack and Adeline to pull up a chair beside them. The bookkeeper took center seat in front of a screen, opening a window to the Griffindale library internet archives. "Adeline, do you understand how to sort through a digital library? I think it's quite simple if you know what you're looking for. But I'll let you browse through the archives. See if anything catches your eye." With that, Javalle stood up, implying for Adeline to take the helm. He didn't want to sound like a know-it-all on their first library mission. Even if it was their job. |

(Honestly, I totally understand Lazzy. Sometimes the roll just kind of takes a bit of a pause, and needs a bit to get going again! Balancing both can be a challenge ^^ I swear I look at the clock and it's hours later sometimes, or I just get completely, and randomly distracted, and didn't get done what I needed to have done.
And haha, yay! Self peace, lol, I'm glad! Now, go rest, shoo shoo))

Maria watched as Leon left her room and grumbled slightly. "Lexa, why does Leon always have to be so rude. Like, I know that he doesn't have the best filter, but why does he have to say such thoughtless things," she bemused. |

Jack couldn’t help but softly chuckle at his coworker seemingly restraining himself. Just by looking at him he could tell Javalle wanted nothing more than to take control and lose himself in research. Though perhaps he was looking too much into it. He was sure the bookkeeper was only being polite. Jack positioned himself to stand next to Adeline, so he could watch and listen on how the library’s archives worked. If he was to work here, he’s gonna have to learn sooner or later. As he stood by in silence, waiting for Adeline to answer and for Javalle to start explaining, he just now noticed that is fingers were absent-mindedly drumming softly against the delicate cover of his book. Granted, he only had basically a brief glance at it’s pages, reading no more than two paragraphs, but the information he got from it was a good start. He’ll check it out before he leaves and read it when he gets home. For now though, there was possible even better books within the library that held the key to a cure. Hopefully they weren’t like the tabloid-esque books he found earlier. (I blinked and suddenly it was my turn and a few days have passed. Whoops! Also thanks a lot lazzylake, now I want to make the book evil so I’m planting the beginnings of an obsession with it lol) |

ᓚᘏᗢ Adeline took the introduction with a nod, and a prompt of following the newly dubbed ‘Javalle’ towards the back of the library. Adeline has spent plenty of time in spaces almost identical spaces to have a good understanding of the layout, and helpfully, how to find the kind of books she’s looking for. She wipes her hands off on her jeans before anyone can get a good look at them, “Yeah, I’ve been to plenty of libraries for specific books in mind.” Adeline says, a tad surprised at the offer but accepting it readily. Adeline suppose it's convenient. She does have a more specific idea in mind for what Jack is looking for. Sitting down, and bringing her elbows up to rest on the desk, glancing up towards Jack. “A refresher could be good though-? If we’re both going to be looking around separately. I don't know how much you know about it, Jack?.” She offers the suggestion somewhat idly, before putting her focus on the screen. Adeline figures Jack might wanna know, if he’s ever out and about while she isn’t. That is, if he doesn't already? So, with that, she takes to looking up a few things. Specifically ‘Traditional Literature’, ‘Myth’s and Legends’, keywords and so on till she finds a good selection. Hopefully she can find that journal. And maybe a few other items they could check out? ..Do either of them have a library card? |

Michael motions to a gray and white pick up truck. "Door is open by the way." He didn't have anything of value in his truck so he wasn't worried about someone trying to break in. "Like I said he's a strange one." He climbs into his truck and once Selene was inside, and starts it up. He pulls out of the parking lot and starts driving towards the station. Selene hoisted herself inside, strapping her seatbelt in the process. She could feel herself starting to brood the longer she looked out the window. "Well, I trust that he's been shown the ropes, and we'll just have to make sure he's not too much of a weak link." she mused. It didn't take long to drive through town, and it was much better than trying to walk on foot. "This is my stop." she sat a little straighter as they arrived at the station. Once he stopped the car, she started unbuckling and hopped out from her seat. "Thanks for the help." she looked back over to Michael, "I'll take care of a few things here and head back home later." she assured him. |

Michael assumed someone showed Jack the ropes of being a werewolf. He barely saw him around then again there were a lot of people within the pack that he barely saw. "No problem." Michael answered giving her a quick nod of his head. "I'll see you around." He remarked. Michael drives away heading towards the hardware store to grab a few things.

Lexa shrugged her shoulders. "I wish I knew." She bends down and lowers her voice. "I think he might have been dropped on his head or some witch cursed him." She teased hoping to get a laugh out of her.

(Thanks <3 it'll be tomorrow. I stayed up watching some scary videos and it's time for me to rest lol- I did some research on digital libraries and I think I have a decent understanding of them now??
I'm so glad to have loads of spare time to work on roleplay responses. And I've been beginning to get ideas for a couple of Warriors stories of my own! Let's hope my motivation lasts for a while- I have a habit of getting all these ideas in my head and not typing anything out.)

Javalle cast his eyes back and forth between Jack and Adeline. He positioned themself on a a chair to the right of Adeline, and gave her a slow nod of satisfaction once she asked for a rundown. "Good point. Jack- the digital site is very useful for finding books whose physical copies are checked out. I don't think you'll come across an opportunity where you may use it professionally, but it's always good to have a backup site if you're in need for something specific. "Cautiously they motioned their hand over the computer mouse, a gesture that Javalle wears ready to take over. “Well, you're on the right track, Adeline. Obviously looking up certain genres will yield some results, but for a single journal, you’ll find it near impossible to sift through. You can modify your search by using these filters.” He aimed the computer mouse towards the top of the screen. A directory of sorts lined the interface, some simply for book searching, while others gained access to other services such as getting a library card or local events. A drop-down menu appeared at the "records" section, revealing a selection for untraditional types of literature. "... Let's see here...scholarly articles, newspapers, ah- here we go! Journals. And here we can type an author's name." Javalle wrote PHILLIPS on the keyboard at an almost superhuman speed. "It may take a bit of scrolling." They explained, glancing carefully at each journal that matched " Phillips" as a writer. Then they found it. Nearly at the bottom of the list. Paranormal Anomalies and Hauntings: Records from Griffindale by Clarisse Phillips. Mysteriously it had no cover. “Could this be the book you're looking for?” He said this question with an air of pride and smugness, in the same tone as a magician asking if they chose the right card in a stranger’s deck. It wasn't that far of a stretch: the library was a magical place in Javalle's eyes.
(Javalle is being a smartypants navigating the interwebs! I tried to make things seem a bit interesting with how to do a manual search. Hopefully it doesn't bore y'all too much. I actually have a pretty good idea on where to direct the conversation- soot I think Adeline bringing up the library card question is very smart! She could tell him about it in her next reply since those could be done online too. More research! After another response from me, could Javalle and Jack talk together Junospower mainly about the book but of course him being with Adeline.) |

(That was, in no bad way, weirdly entertaining to read xD Who knew I'd be curious how a librarian spoke about using navigation on the dear interwebs! Anyway, I'm totally down with that, Adeline can be scrolling or something if you two would like to have a talk with them. And I'll make sure to mention the library card next time as well ^^ Very well written lazzylake!) |
