Luceti.

Two things:

1. Whoever it was that found my work shop, return the pieces that you stole before the end of the day. I’ll be in the Barracks. If you fail to comply, I will find you.

It won’t be pretty.

2. What do the rest of you think about the last Shift? Was it good or bad? How did the loss of memory affect you? Do you think it left any long-term impact for yourself, your friends, and the rest of your stay in this village?

-Also. Prism Black. You deserve to be commended for your heroism. Never forget that.

Filtered to Trafalgar Law: Unhackable

I have a problem and I’d like a second opinion on it. It’s not big, but it could become complicated.

-I’d promise coffee, but I have an unrelated problem with getting it. I’ll be in the barracks.



[True to his word, Lupin will be in the barracks all day. His encounter with Spock on Monday, combined with his activities from earlier in the week had finally caught up to him. Fatigue was inevitable. He had spent the better part of the last few days asleep, never very far from his new charge. The veritable plague of crows that had been set upon him by an angered god was an unnecessary incentive. He kept the windows shut, locked away the gnawing need for a cigarette that bit at the back of his mind, and tried to ignore the judgement he saw reflected in the eyes of his avian watchmen—but he would have stayed close to the barracks regardless of their looming (and aggravating) presence.

While the days spent between dreams and fleeting considerations over recent affairs had rejuvenated him, it didn't stop the inherent restlessness that was his constant foe—the core problem that would never entirely leave. The people who knew him would be able to identify the briskness of his step and the cool control with which he held every action and every word. He was distracted by a new project , one that was completely foreign to him, and was unwilling to divulge details until the proper time came.

The thief had returned to work, but nothing was as it seemed.]



((ooc: Thread with Spock is chronologically last.))

removeimpurity: (Not too bad. I think.)

Sounds good to me.

[She smiles faintly, tracing a finger along the circle just long enough for the pile of ammunition to shimmer, then change once more, into a featureless metal figurine.]
removeimpurity: (Look - I don't care.)

If you insist.

[Syre moves the little figurine aside and wipes the chalk from the floor with one white lab coat sleeve before she stands up once more. She takes her rapier into hand again, slowly easing herself back into the rhythm of her footwork.]

Just be warned that I am not soft in my instruction.

[A pause, mid-advance--]

Made of smoke?
removeimpurity: (I'm sorry but... What?)

...Otherworldly magic is a strange thing indeed.

[She runs through a few more advances, a few more lunges, before settling her rapier into its scabbard.]

What sort of training do you undertake with him?
removeimpurity: (Yeah - let me get riiiight on that.)

...Ah, I see.

I... am not familiar with that.
removeimpurity: (Look - I don't care.)

Very well.

In that case... was there anything else you were interested in?
removeimpurity: (Ever the professional...)

What kind of request?
removeimpurity: (You're not serious?)

[Syre laughs, softly.]

Sure, why not. Have you a day in mind?
removeimpurity: (Yeah - let me get riiiight on that.)

[She walks over to her shoes, slipping them on as she nods to Lupin.]

My schedule is open, so... I'll get in touch.

[There's a bit of silence, before:] Oh, before I forget... Have you any idea when your voice will be returning? I have spare notepads, if you so need them.
removeimpurity: (Well - if you insist)

[personal profile] removeimpurity 2012-10-22 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
All right.

[She heads toward the door of the room, her hands in her pockets.] Would you like to walk me to the exit, or shall I let myself out? [A smile.]
