(Just waiting for Anke's reply, but I need to respond.) @Inugami - Alright, just wanted to check. I didn't want to go cutting off anyone's attempt at an event. Also, try not to go forcefully moving other characters. Trying to stop them from doing things in dialogue is fine, but the movements of the characters are up to the user unless other factors keep them from moving themselves. @Fenris - So was there anything you planned to start in terms of a story event?    |

[Small town near academy - Martial Artist] Kiri: Whew, it was a close one today. Gotta make sure I don't wander without oneechan in non-battle uniform anymore. She was talking to herself, sitting at the room she was renting. Or in fact, it was her older sister that was paying for the room. A few days ago, she said she wanted to investigate something and left, telling Kiri to wait for her. Kiri: I wonder what's that all about... Knowing oneechan, it's probably something important... but why didn't she take me with her. Well, I know I'm useless in an investigation... and actually I would most likely ruin everything... But I'm bored here alone. She heard some sound of people running outside the room. And then the door to her room got opened with a kick and a lot of armed men entered. Soldier: Where is she? As he said that, he recieved a kick at the back of the head from behind. Expecting guests, Kiri hid near the wall, out from line of sight of entering people. Taking initiative, she did a few more kicks to knock out the rest. Kiri: So... how should I react in this situation? Oneechan told me to wait here, so those guys will be in the way. But killing this town's soldiers isn't an option too... She made one of the men, who looked like the leader to come to senses with a few slaps. Soldier: You... Kiri: Excuse me, but I'm having a sort of dilemma here. I need to wait here for my sister, but if you guys keep bothering me... come on, listen to me, stop trying to get out of my grip... anyway, you'll be in the way. Soldier: I don't give a damn! You'll pay... Kiri: Oh, come on, if it comes to worst I'll actually kill you guys. I hate such small fry characters, who think they're strong. Not to mention you've just proven you're one of them, by saying a classical small fry phrase. Soldier: You wouldn't dare... Kiri: Why? I've defeated all your team twice... of course first time you was drunk and second time I had initiative, but don't think YOU can get initiative from me. And I'm leaving this town in a few days, so... Peace? Soldier: Like hell! Kiri: Then at least let's put it all away until the last day. When it's time for me to leave, I'll fight you guys in an arena-type battle Soldier: Like with no initatives? Fine, but you'll regret it. Kiri: Oh... you agreed... I'm surprised, actually. Well then... will you please leave now? It took some time to wake up the others, but, thanks to Kiri unarming them all and dumping their weapon through the window, they left without much fuss and even paid for a broken door. Kiri: I wish I could do some magic and put some spell that would warn me if those guys decide to break their promise... Though I'm not sure about all those mages... Okay then... She left through a broken door and headed outside. There was a book shop she seen while walking around the town and it had some books of mysticism, though mostly they didn't have real spells, just descriptions and stories. But Kiri's powers were something to make irrealistic fairy tale into reality. |

ANKE l Stormcaller Mansion Anke didn't know what to say at first and slowly she shook her head erasing all the doubts she had, about Vincent, so he had a reason to pull away from her, but it wasn't a catastrophic as she had been expecting. "You haven't misinterpreted my feelings" she said finally her voice soft but sure, "I still don't understand why you have to keep to yourself in order to keep from becoming an empty husk." "Vincent, to be honest I really don't have much time left on this earth. I'm only supposed to live to be like 23... and since I've defied all the other predictions my doctor's have made I think my luck has about run out..." she looked down at her feet, "so I'm sorry but you'll have to explain your sorrows to me a little more, I don't mean to seem self-centered, but to me just the idea of being healthy would be enough to make me happy... I'll understand if you just explain exactly what you mean." Sorry! I had a lot of stuff going on this weekend!  |

@Jon - Nothing planned yet, so for now it seems to be up to you again, I'll PM you if I manage to think of something. [Stormcaller Mansion] Vivian wanted to find Anke right away and wanted him to come with her, he saw no reason not to, well actually he had many reasons to do it. They went out of the room and Vivian asked him. Vivian: "But where would she be...?" Fenris was about to answer her when he was interrupted by Toorop who told them that Anke and Vincent wanted to have private conversation, Toorop then went back into the room. Fenris looked at Vivian. Fenris: So they want some privacy too, what could this be about? Well if that's the case maybe we should let them be. He then remembered something that had been on his mind. Fenris: Maybe you should try locating her at least. He pointed at the necklace he had given her. Fenris: Using the Spirit Stone. But I think I have never explained exactly how the Spirit Stones are used. He lead her into a guard room down the hallway, it was empty at the moment as the guards who resided here were on guard duty at the moment. Fenris sat down on one of the couches and gestured Vivian to sit next to him. Fenris: First you need to touch the stone with your skin, it doesn't matter where it touches, I once had one in my boot as I needed my both hands free. Well anyway, then you just need to focus on the presence of the person you're trying to find and you know is in possession of one of the stones. And if Anke has her Spirit Stone with her, or near her, you should feel like something is pulling you into that direction and if she doesn't you'll simply feel a tug in your mind guiding you towards the stone itself. He smiled at her. Fenris: Go ahead and try it.   |

@Anke - No worries. I just wanted to have a reason for replying without posting in relation to the story. @Fenris - Alright, I guess I'll go ahead with something soon then. [Stormcaller Mansion] Vincent headed over to a window and looked out, his hands in his pockets. "That woman among the Knightmare members that we first encountered, I believe that she is most likely my adoptive mother who has been either resurrected from the dead or cloned somehow. If it is true, then I will be taking her life with my own hand by beating her, or by taking her with me. In the best case scenario, I kill the woman who raised me and walk away unscathed, hunted by the military all my life and then having to suffer through life with the person I cared for having died, just like mother dearest." He tilted his head back slightly. "But you're right, I should be happy that I will be healthy during that period of death and the soul crushing lifelong loneliness that will follow suit." He paused for a moment and sighed. "I'm sorry, that was incredibly rude and selfish of me." Vincent turned and headed back towards the door, past Anke. "If you ask me, I wouldn't consider defying the expectations of doctors as a sign of luck, I consider it strength and determination. If you just want to write it off as such and give up however, then I guess there isn't much more to say except that I am sorry for wasting some of the little time you believe you have left." He smiled grimly as he put his hand on the doors handle. "We can always give it a shot in the afterlife, if you're up for it." |

Aeon | Mansion Aeon was wandering around the mansion aimlessly, thinking about the amulet he had found. Unlike the first few days when he was here, he did not receive odd looks from those around the mansion, as they got used to his wandering. Eventually, he found his way to the library. "Guess I'm back here" he thought "whenever I have something to think about I always end up at the library it seems". He was about to walk inside when he heard Vincent talking. "We can always give it a shot in the afterlife, if you're up for it." "Huh?" Aeon thought "whose he talking to? And what about? That's kind of a fatalistic way of looking at .... whatever hes talking about". Aeon shrugged at the thought, and took a few steps away from the door, so he wouldn't hear the conversation further, and waited for Vincent to come out. |

[Vivian][Stormcaller Mansion] Vivian became a bit surprised and tense when Toorop appeared in front of them all of a sudden, but when he went back into the lunge Vivian relaxed again. I don't know why, Vivian thought, But there's something about that guy that just... I don't know, like puts me off or something. But I can't really tell what it is... Fenris then suggested using the Spirit Stone to find Anke. He led her into a room that was for the guards, and then sat down on a couch. Vivian sat down next to him. He explained to her how the stones worked, and Vivian nodded as he explained. He smiled at her when he was done explaining. "Go ahead and try it." Fenris said. Vivian took her stone out, and then put both of her hands around it and held it out in front of her. She concentrated on finding Anke, and she stood up, a bit surprised by the pull she received from the stone. "It's leading me to Anke!" Vivian exclaimed excitedly. She turned to Fenris, "Can we follow it? I won't barge in on their conversation or anything like that." She kept on receiving a pull from the stone, so she went ahead and followed it, letting Fenris walk beside her. When the pulling stopped, she realized that she was outside of the library. She could hear some movement coming inside, but she didn't hear any talking. Guess they're almost done in there, Vivian thought. She looked around, and saw Aeon a few steps away from the door. Vivian put the stone away as she waved to him, and she also took a few steps back and stood next to the wall on the side across from Aeon. Vivian tried to think of how she would tell her friends the news, but she became nervous and started to blush about it. How should I tell them...? Vivian thought, How do people tell their friends, their close friends, news like this? She tried to stop herself from blushing, and then held onto Fenris' hand with both of her hands. "Can you tell them?" She asked Fenris.  |

[Stormcaller Mansion] Fenris smiled at the excitement Vivian showed for succeeding with the Stones, he understood why though, he had acted much like her the first time he had managed to do it. He followed her through the Mansion, until they reached the library he heard and sensed the people within and around before he saw them. It appeared all of their group was here. Vivian then grabbed his arm and he looked at her to see that she was blushing. Fenris: What's the matter? Vivian: "Can you tell them?" Fenris looked at her as she clinged into his arm and sighed. Fenris: How can I resist when you're acting so cute... He walked to the door just as Vincent was opening it. Fenris gestured for Aeon. Fenris: Aeon, Vincent, Anke, I think there is something we need talk about, follow me. Fenris lead the group deeper into the library finding a place with a couch and several comfy chairs. He gestured for them to sit down as he and Vivian sat down on the couch. Fenris: Well first things first, I can see once again. But there is this one other thing... He paused for a moment trying to find the right words, but ultimately failing and deciding to go with the blunt method instead. Fenris: Well right now, it seems Vivian has accepted my proposal and were planning to make it official some time in the future, just so you know. Fenris was grinning madly and began to laugh as he saw the looks on their faces. |

[Stormcaller Mansion] Vincent stayed at the door, looking back at Vivian and Fenris. "It's nice to see someone moving towards a happy ending. I just hope it turns out that way for the two of you. . ." He turned and headed out the door, towards the entrance, leaving the others behind. 'I hope they don't turn out like she did. At least they have something though, which is more than I can say for myself.' He paused for a moment before continuing on. 'I guess it's for the best. The whole reason I wanted that talk was to explain why I had to keep a set distance from her, I don't know what I was expecting to happen. Everything is as it should be I suppose. [Mansion Area] Maria had been sitting just inside the treeline for quite some time, keeping watch on the house in the distance. "The entire group is most likely in there, are you sure we should even be considering an attack at this point in time?" Arumuat was leaning against a tree and eating fruit behind her. "The Stormcaller clan appears to be the dominant power in this part of the northern region, but they do not have much military might around here. That mansion looks intimidating, but it isn't something we cannot handle." Sven was standing nearby, looking in the same direction as Maria. "Even still, do you expect us to fight the entire group?" "Hardly. I've employed a group of roughly 43 bandits and mercenaries to act as a distraction of sorts. I have instructed them to attack the mansion at a certain time. This will keep the group and any Stormcaller forces possibly residing inside busy while we engage members of the group one at a time in single combat. If the hired help is killed off or defeated before we have taken care of the group, then we shall simply fall back with whatever kills we may have achieved and plan future attacks to take down the rest of them." Arumuat said, clarifying the plan for his partners to reassure them. "43? That sounds like nearly a quarter of our entire payment at least. I will not be giving up part of my share to pay a bunch thieves and competitors." Maria replied. Arumuat smiled and looked at her. "Calm down. I promised to pay them 2,500 each, but only if we completed the mission or retreated. By the time either of those things happen there will probably be only 6 or 7 of them left alive and still by our side. Even if a large number of them do survive, there is nothing stopping us from simply slaughtering them afterward." |

ANKE l Stormcaller Mansion Anke sensed someone coming and allowed her conversation with Vincent to drop. Fenris and Vivian entered and Fenris spoke. "Aeon, Vincent, Anke, I think there is something we need talk about, follow me." Anke wiped her face clear of any emotion that might have been left behind from her chat with Vincent and listened to what Fenris had to say. She noticed Vivian clinging to his arm, he towered over her, but she looked so happy and Anke's heart warmed instantly. She sat down in an arm chair and listened more closely. "Well first things first, I can see once again. But there is this one other thing..." Fenris started and paused hesitantly once again. "Well right now, it seems Vivian has accepted my proposal and were planning to make it official some time in the future, just so you know." Anke's eyes light up and her jaw dropped open. She was so happy for Vivian and yet worried about her at the same time. It had all happened awfully fast. She pushed her worries to the back of her mind, stood up and walked over to hug her best friend. "Congratulations, I'm so happy for both of you!" she turned to Fenris and hugged him to. "Take care of her ok!" she whispered in his ear before sitting down on the floor next to Vivian. A big smile plastered on her face. "So when do we get to start planning the wedding?" she asked eagerly. |

[Talisman] Talisman was cleaning his sword in the lounge while everyone else was off doing whatever fun. When Talisman was done cleaning his sword he slid the sheath back on the sword and his sword kit back into his bag and began to head back to his room with his sword and bag to gather his things. Talisman never left his equipment alone for long periods of time except if he was at Shinmei. He walked past the library where Anke and Vincent said they would be, but as Talisman past, he heard the others talking. -Should have known they wouldn’t have listened, - thought Talisman. –I guess I just wasted my breath. Hopefully I can just finish up with what I’m doing here as fast as possible and head back west.- As Talisman walked down the hall, he pasted Vincent. From the look Vincent had on him, Talisman thought it would be best not to say anything, so Talisman continued to head for his room. A minute later Talisman arrived at his room and entered, locking the door as he closed in behind him setting his sword and bag down. Talisman grabbed knife harness and his jacket off the bed as he moved his tail out from under clothing, he put on the harness before putting on his jacket; Talisman then picked up his trench cape and pulled it over his shoulders as his buttoned down the collar to prevent it from falling off at anytime. Talisman had all his supplies and decided to head to the roof. He grabbed his sword and bag, then walked over to the window and pushed it open. He climbed out and climbed to the roof from the side of the house. As Talisman reached the top of the roof, he was surprised to see Kota sitting and waiting for him. “Oh! Kota, nice to see you.†greeted Talisman as he jumped over the railing of the roof. “What brings you here? Need food?†“No, no,†laughed Kota. “I’m here for some info, that’s all. I hate being bored for so long. To tell you the truth, I want to go home; this mission is so boring that I have a better time trying to kill all the fleas in my coat during spring, and it’s not even spring.†Kota scratched behind his ears, lying down on his side. “Well, I’m sorry to say that there is nothing really new to report.†said Talisman walking over to Kota. Talisman kneeled down beside Kota and replaced his military collar with a plain black one as Talisman put the other collar in his bag. “Really, I think we should have just headed back home and just tell the base to give the mission to someone else, I mean, why pick us? There are other people far better than us, and they pick someone who’s not even human and his animal partner.†“No idea. I not really a normal animal.†replied Kota yawning. “I guess because no one would expect you to be who you are because of your age, maybe that’s why.†Talisman laid his back down and rested his head on Kota’s stomach using him as a pillow. “Don’t know.†sighed Talisman setting his sword and bag beside him. “For some reason I think there’s something more to what they told me, but this is all in hope for regaining my lost memory of me and Yuri. (Sigh) We still have a long way to go.†Talisman started to daze off, and no sooner, he fell asleep on Kota’s stomach. Kota rested his head down over his paws and followed as Talisman did. A minute later Kota fell asleep without hesitation.    |

[Stormcaller Mansion] Anke: "Take care of her ok!" Anke whispered to him as she hugged him. Fenris: I will, you can count on that. Fenris whisperd back to her as she let go of him and sat down on the floor. Anke: "So when do we get to start planning the wedding?" Fenris was holding Vivian's hand as they sat there. He started thinking what should they do. He knew that he wanted to do, but it would be hard, unless... Fenris: I think we should inform Vivian's family of this, my family... well I have good reason to suspect that my mother knew that this was gonna happen, as she was the one who gave me the ring. He looked at Vivian who seemed to be blushing lightly. He just smiled and didn't ask anything. Fenris: What do you think Vivian? Should we go tell your parents personally? I think I could get some people to come with us and that would be the last thing out pursuers would expect us to do. He ran his hand through his hair. And he turned serious. Fenris: Well, if anyone else has ideas, let's hear them. I think it's time we try to find the reason why we are being chased by so many and I can't think of better place to start than West. He then waited to hear what the others would say about this matter. |

[Vivian][Stormcaller Mansion Vivian was blushing madly, yet also smiling, as Fenris told Vincent, Anke, and Aeon their news. Vincent seemed like he could care less, and walked away. Why is he so rude about this? Vivian wondered, Does it have something to do with whatever he was talking to Anke about...? Anke, on the other hand, was overjoyed for her. She's my best friend, so I expected this part, Vivian thought as Anke went over to hug her and Fenris. "So when do we get to start planning the wedding?" Anke asked. Vivian hadn't thought of that yet, so she turned to Fenris to see what he would say. "I think we should inform Vivian's family of this," Fenris said, "My family... Well I have good reason to suspect that my mother knew that this was gonna happen, as she was the one who gave me the ring...." He then turned to Vivian, who was still blushing a bit. "What do you think Vivian?" Fenris asked, "Should we go tell your parents personally? I think I could get some people to come with us and that would be the last thing out pursuers would expect us to do." Vivian saw him become serious as the smile faded from his face and he turned to face Anke and Aeon. "Well, if anyone else has ideas, let's hear them," Fenris continued, "I think it's time we try to find the reason why we are being chased by so many and I can't think of better place to start than West." "I agree," Vivian said, "We should start heading in a different direction. Our pursuers all expect us to go North more and more, and if we change it up a bit we could become a day, possibly even two days, ahead of them. Plus, I do want to tell my parents about all this and let them know that I am safe. I only got to see my father briefly as he gave me Picasso, before we left the Academy." She paused and thought about the plan for a bit, then continued. "I have a map of the North," Vivian continued, "And may of you know the land as well, and once we get into the West it should be safe for us from there on out. There are more towns and cities to stop in to rest and get supplies along the way, and who knows? Maybe we can find some group to travel with us if they are heading in the same direction. And my home isn't too far from the Academy, it's only about towns towns away. So if any of you have something that you really need to go back there for then we might be able to sneak into there..." Vivian thought of the clothes and books she had left back at the Academy, and she knew that some of her friends probably had the same problem. As she was thinking about leaving, another idea popped into her head. "And maybe we should do something about your body, Anke," Vivian said to her, "That is, if you want your normal body back. We could all stop by your house before we go, and make sure it's okay..." She hoped that it would be okay as she said that. She looked at the clock in the room, and started running plans and scenarios in her head. "Whatever we do," Vivian said, "We should so it fast. We are running out of time before our enemies find us here. They might have already found us for all we know. I think that it would be best to leave by tonight or earlier. Travel through the night, and hopefully make to the West in a day or so. Fenris, if you can, have seven of your people come with us, just as a safety measure. The more the better, as they say. If we have to split up, at least we could be in two medium sized groups, and not smaller ones. Traveling in one big group might look suspicious, but I am willing to take that risk. In fact... Maybe we could disguise ourselves for this trip. It would be even harder to recognize us this way, and maybe we can get a few things to hide the sense of our magic..." Vivian kept on thinking about the plan as she waited for someone to respond. |

[Small town near academy - Martial artist] Kiri was sitting in a library with a heap of books. But it's not like she was reading them all. Some were encyclopedias, while others were picture books for children. In all those book, she was searching only for a certain terms: witches, sorceresses, enchantresses. She even found books about shamanesses and oracles of some tribes. Kiri: Okay, I'm getting an idea of what it should be. Most of them would be hard now, but if it's a witch, the costume is easy to make. After all, it's any casual cloth, but with adding a cape and a hat. Looks cute too. Saying all that, she left the library and went into a tailor's shop that was nearby. Kiri: Now here's the problem - color. It doesn't have a pre-set colors, so I can even go ahead and make a pink witch outfit. But I'm guessing it's either white or black. She walked around the shop for a bit more and bought a big roll of black glossy leather. Kiri: Okay, I'm guessing the hardest part will be to make a dress to go with cape and hat... some leather tight skirt maybe... This way, thinking about various designs, she was walking back to the inn. She had an all-nighter of clothes-making ahead. |

Aeon | Stormcaller Mansion Aeon stood silently through Fenris' and Vivian's news of engagement. He wondered if them being engaged would hinder them in any way. "Anke's house seems like a good idea" Aeon said when the suggestion came up. "We can get her real body as well as we have to opportunity to deal with whoever attacked us with the cold ones, I remember Anke suspecting it was one of her family. One less problem is always nice. Though I disagree with going to Vivian's at this time. We don't know what Alexanderson has done with the military yet, it would be better to find out some information before moving too far in the West." After saying his piece, Aeon began to browse books while he waited for the others to speak. |

ANKE l Stormcaller Mansion "Yes of course Vivian's parents would need to be included in this." Anke started after listening for a while. Vivian had mentioned going to get her body and taken seven of the Stormtroopers with them, and they all sounded like good ideas, and then Aeon said something that really tipped her interest. "It's true that I think my family may have been involved in that, but I'm not sure exactly what to do about it...because they're not there." Anke said in reply to Aeon's comment. "Well, anyway, I agree with Vivian we should probably stop by my house on the way and then depart as soon as possible." I hadn't really mentioned her brother to the rest of the group, but it's ok, this will work him in the way I wanted to... so i guess we can just throw him in :) |

[Outside Stormcaller Mansion] Vincent had sat himself down on one of the front steps, breathing in the chilly air to help clear his head. 'So now what? There doesn't seem to be a reason for me to stay with them. It would be quicker for me to try and actively seek him out and get this over with as soon as possible. I don't want to just leave them though, even if I will be forced to eventually. I still don't know what that guys intentions are, he's been hanging around for the past week but has made no attempt to leave or do anything. I can't just leave them knowing that he's still here, especially since everyone except myself and Aeon seem to have some manner of trust in him.' He leaned against the railing and stared out at the horizon, his thoughts drifting suddenly to a different topic. 'Marriage huh. . . Vivian seems a bit young for it, and it certainly happened quickly. I really hope they don't end up regretting this decision. I would hate to see them turn out like she did.' |

[Talisman] [Kota] Talisman woke up a few minutes after he fell asleep on Kota’s stomach. Talisman sat up rubbing his eyes with his hands as he yawned. He turned to Kota and tried to wake him up from his sleep by patting his side. As Talisman tried to wake up Kota, every attempted didn’t work. -Boy, this guy can sleep when he wants to,- thought Talisman. –Guess he’s been working harder on his job than mine.- Talisman shook Kota in hopes he would wake up, instead Kota was still asleep. “Hey, Kota, wake up.†said Talisman as he kept trying to wake Kota. “C’mon, I don’t want to have a repeat of last time. (Sigh) Well if you aren’t going to wake up then you leave me with my only option.†As Talisman raised his hand over his head, he was going to hit Kota to wake him up when Kota’s tail grew and wrapped around Talisman’s wrist as he was about to hit. Talisman wasn’t surprised at this; normally he had to force Kota to wake up by either hitting him on the head or picking him up off the ground by his tail. “I don’t need a headache today,†muttered Kota as he slowly rose up his yawning. “And why did you have to wake me? I was having a nice dream that we were back at Shinmei and back with everyone else there.†“Yeah, well you're not the only who was having a nice dream, Kota,†replied Talisman grabbing his bag and sword. “I was dreaming about me and Yuri sparring back at Shinmei, we were having a great time. I didn’t want to wake up either, so you're not the only one who wanted to keep sleeping. Anyways let’s get inside, I bet you're tired of being at that girls house right?†“Yeah,†answered Kota as he stood up. “There’s nothing going on there so I don’t think it’s really worth the trouble. Plus if anyone goes in or out of the house, we’ll know from the tags I setup.†“Yeah, well, I guess I can introduce you to the group, even tho I've only learned one of their names.†Talisman sighed. Talisman was mostly keeping to himself for past week resting up and fixing and cleaning his torn clothes from his injuries, so he didn’t really learn everyone’s name. “They probably might ignore me anyways, so you might need to introduce yourself. Hm, might be better if you don’t talk, they might question me even more, just stay beside me and I’ll tell them if they bother to ask.†Kota nodded his head in agreement. Talisman got up and strapped his bag down over his back while placing his sword in its bag to protect it. He tied the bag shut and wrapped the cords around it to keep it from opening; he then carried the sword bag over his right shoulder. Kota then jump onto Talisman’s back, sitting inside his bag as he stuck his head over Talisman’s left shoulder. Kota traveled like this numerous times with Talisman, seeing as Talisman’s bag is mostly empty it left plenty of room for Kota to sit in. Talisman walked over to the edge of the roof and noticed Vincent leaning on a railing staring off into space. Talisman jumped down from the roof of the house and landed on the snow covered ground with Kota on his back looming his head over his left shoulder. Talisman started to walk to Vincent. “Hey, you look like you have a lot on your mind, care to share?†said Talisman walking up beside Vincent. “By the way, I haven’t really learned your name, mine is Toorop Hunter, what’s yours?†Talisman offered his hand to Vincent as he waited for a reply. While Kota perked his ears up and kept silent. |

[Vivian][Stormcaller Mansion] Vivian listened as Aeon and Anke agreed on going to Anke's house next. Aeon mentioned finding out what Alexanderson has done with the military before moving into the West, but he mentioned something else that grabbed Vivian's interest even more. He said something about one of Anke's family members being involved with the attack of the cold ones, and after which Anke asked him if he knew about her brother. Vivian looked at the two of them, a bit confused about what was going on. Do they know things that they're not letting on? Vivian thought, Anke is my best friend, if she had concerns over her brother she could have just told me... Vivian cleared her throat in order to get into this conversation. "Well," Vivian said, "I think it's decided that we shall go to Anke's house first. Whatever is concerning Anke's family member being a part of the cold ones attack, well, we can talk about all of that later." She then turned to Aeon, who was going through books. "And as I said earlier," Vivian said, "We can disguise ourselves so the military won't recognize us. We might even be able to get our hands on a few items that allow us to hide our magic senses. Plus, when we disguise ourselves, it will be easier for us to obtain information regarding the military." Vivian looked back to Anke. "So it's off to your place," Vivian continued, "Let's pack up the supplies we need, and then we can head out. We need to find Vincent and tell him that we're leaving as well..." Vivian started to trail off when she thought about bringing Toorop with them or not. I don't really trust him, Vivian thought, I can tell he is still hiding something from us by the way he acts. He always went off to roam the mansion on his own, and he came to us under pretty suspicious conditions as well... She decided to bring up this matter. "And, what do you all think about Toorop?" Vivian asked them, "I still don't really trust him, but he would be another member of our group. One that our enemies won't recognize, since he wasn't with us from the start. He would help to disguise ourselves, by adding this new member to our group. And I wouldn't know what to do with him if we didn't bring him with us. Still..." Vivian shrugged and trailed off a bit. "I just don't know. I don't trust him right now." Vivian concluded. She waited to see what the others would say. |
