He opened the door into the library, holding out his phone as he walked along the rows of books messaging just about any of his Father's subjects who was willing to talk to him... Surprising it was a lot, so many poor souls wishing for his recognition for Father's intervention... They held him such high regard, so many he was willing to kill without a hesitating thought. He shuffled along sitting at a table, began texting into his more... Favorite Crowd, not much to Father's approval though.
Today it was overcasting, possible high chance of rain. The library looked lovely, thanks to its old remodel, windows even had light coming in variety of colors... Almost mesmerizing as a church. The table he sat at only had about 2 books piled up, somebody actually still came here? That in its own was shocking, the box were both on Physics... And Metaphysics.. Whatever that meant.. He waited calmly for the chat to respond, as he sat there enjoying the peace and thought. Ethan... The Lab... the data.. All gathered... All shown to father, many of the subjects were lost.. from what he could tell.. Almost as if Somebody shut down the place already, was surprising the electricity was even on. He hummed in thought.

Why was it ALWAYS raining in this godforsaken town? WHY?!
He managed to tear open the library doors just in time as the first wave of overhead nightmare fell down in sheets upon the open streets. The crack of thunder put his hair on end, and the flickering of the overhead lights left a layer of discomfort to wash over him. Damn, he couldn't catch a break, could he? Caelum shuts down the cafe early for some random guy he found in the basement, and Coda was stuck dealing with the cleanup. So many pissed off customers, so little time. And instead of being able to wait out the storm with a lazy day of quiet work in an emptying shop, he had to try and book it home in the middle of it.
Which was why he now stood running a hand through lightly sodden crimson locks in the middle of the library entrance, trapped until the storm passed. He wasn't really much of a reader, but he was just going to have to make the best of it. And so he did, scoping the place out, picking out a few books that were more pictures than words, and popping down roughly into a seat across from some guy all absorbed in his phone or whatever it was. Coda gave a brief glance, rolling his eyes at the static-filled screen. Weird, but not his business. He simply leaned back, propped his feet up on the desk, and began flipping through some comic about a space pirate treasure hunting across the galaxy. Weird stuff they put on paper these days...
Among his little pile were a few other oddities, mainly a few books written in Japanese.

I don't need no remedy i need a damn good time She hated this town.
Ooooh she hated this town...
Hun tossed the book to the side, groaning and placing her head in her hands. She was never going to get out of here, was she? The barrier was down! She should be at home by now! But the magic wasn't working and she couldn't find a book that could help.
That stupid snake, this was all his fault! Next time she seen him he was dead!
She stayed at the table for a few minutes, quietly watching people enter and leave, before sighing and getting up herself. Return these books, grab a few more, hope they have info, rinse and repeat.
Hun walked down the aisle, glancing at the two newcomers. One was reading a manga and the other was staring at a blank screen.
A weeb and a weirdo.
Fun.
She scanned through the books, quietly grumbling to herself. If either of them paid her any mind they could probably hear her cursing to high heaven; cursing the town, cursing the people, cursing the gods. Cursing and swearing at anything and everything she could think of, really.
She was in a great mood.

The phone conversation quickly grew uncomfortable, he found himself shuffling in his chair staring up at the chat. Would Father really do that? Did his father have a choice in the matter! He found himself shutting the phone off, best not take any chances... maybe they can HEAR through the Mic TOO!! With the phone close slid right into his pocket he looked around eyes readjusting to the room's lighting. The rainbow from early flickered with each little Rain pattering on the window..
Oh.. It must have started raining... Really did seem to come down. Guess he was trapped.. Wait.. Water... Rain.. Trapped! IT was ALREADY HAPPENING! He felt his heart race, they.. they won't catch him alive.. Just portal out of here.. Yeah.. Tha-Oh Who was that? He noticed a girl shuffling by the books cursing up a storm.. He could hear with those sensisitve bat ears.... Ahh!! Father already added animals! He wanted to fall to the ground and cry.. just thinking about it. No.. Father will not approve! He must move forward! For Father!! And Not Lymrik! Definitely.. not Lymrik. If he Earned One new Member.. Father will be appeased.. No Eyes.. no.. Colors.. NO LEGS!
Taking deep breath he stepped forward, "My Lady, why are you swear so harshly? The words are bringing the Land many great tears.... The trees be happy, but you seem not so. Is it these books? They foiled your soul?" He pulled out a random book flipping through... It seemed.. a search on.. teleportation? "Is it the Tele you seek?" He asked eyes large and blue with curiousity, unaware of the Redhead that could be listening in. |

Just when he thought he might have a bit of peace and quiet, one guy looked like he was ready to have a mental breakdown, and the other was swearing so loudly it almost rivalled Coda on a bad day. Which just so happened to, in fact, be today.
The comic snapped shut, and he threw a scowl at the pair following the guy's proclamation of... whatever he just said. Talk about being old fashioned, the guy seemed like he walked straight of the late fifteenth century. "You two mind? Some folks are actually trying to survive this shitty weather by reading, not listening to Ms. Bitch-a-lot and Romeo's twenty-first-century rerun." Yes, he was more than a little snippy today, but seeing as he was still dripping wet he felt he had every right to be in a poor mood with these two. "Take your psycho-babble elsewhere, would ya?"
Of course, the book on teleportation was given a cursory glance, one that lingered just a little too long, but nothing more was said on the matter. If anything, he seemed to scoff, rolling his eyes as if regarding the book as the worst of all trash literature. Screw listening in, Coda was straight up shoving himself into their conversation with little regard.

I don't need no remedy i need a damn good time That was another thing she hated about this town; why was everyone always so...so involved??
"It's none of your business.." Hun hissed, not even glancing his way until he mentioned teleportation. Would that work? Add the Eldrich attributes, add some magus blood and...?
Thoughts were rudely interrupted by the weeb.
"Aw, are we interrupting your reading time?" Coda may have been snippy, but Hun was this close to tearing someone to shreads. "Listen here you waste of time and space. I was being quiet, it's not my fault Mr Shakespeare here decided to start talking to me. Secondly, even if I was being loud, I was set up here way before you dragged your dead-beat ass in. If you don't like it, take your manga and go stink up some other section."
It had been way too long since she let off some steam and it showed. Not only in her words and tone of voice, but in the light green magic faintly swirling around. Not enough to be noticeable, but not too little to be completely invisible either.
Hun turned her attention to Diego, grabbing the book from his hands with a quiet "Thank you" and tucking it under her arm. She then turned her attention away from the two and back to the books.
Such a shame they were all in a library.
Anywhere outside and there would have been a tussle.

The white hair young man felt confusion.. The one who interrupted them was upset? He was just trying to help... Then the female.. was happy, but still turned away from him. He blinked slowly trying to process this information, Father was never good at teach modern relationships. He always had to figure them on his own, but that green... swirls.. He reached out trying to catch it, only to fail. He released a small pout, "your.. Welcome..."
His attention turned to the man reading the manga, that's what it was called? "What.. is this manga? Is it that picture book? Father says picture books are always a great way to educate.. But that looks to be... Not so.. Educational. Not sure how Father would read about this." He leaned forward trying to nose into the story, hey it actually looked pretty cool... |

Magic. Subtle, but still there, enough to put every sense on edge. Everything in his body tensing up, instincts screaming to leave, but go where? Outside wasn't an option. He shook his head, pushed those feelings away, refusing to be intimidated by that flicker of power. So what, most folks in this town had a smell of magic about them. It didn't mean anything, but it still reminded him that he needed to somehow keep his head down. So he rolled his eyes, muttered some stereotypical teenaged 'whatever', and prepared to dive back into his...
...Why the hell was Sir out-of-this-century now in his bubble? He stared for a solid minute before his eye began to twitch, and a low growl slid between his teeth in a tone just a little too low to be natural. "Do I look like I give a damn about your dad issues? Back off." He even made a point of dropping his feet to the ground, planting a rather unnaturally warm palm towards Diego's face, and trying to forcefully shove him away.

I don't need no remedy i need a damn good time Looked like she won this fight.
...But now it sounded like the other two were getting at it; Shakespeare asking about the book and Naruto sounding like he was getting pretty ticked.
"Oh for fucks sake. First you get mad at us for "being loud" and now you're getting physical with a child?" Hun glanced over her shoulder, glaring at the two of them.
On one hand, it wasn't her problem at all.
But on the other, she was bored, desperate for something, and had no impulse control. Of course she was getting involved.
"At least pick on someone who can kick your ass. Not some...poor child with daddy issues." What kind of dad didn't let his kid read non-educational books? Her dad might have been off to sea for months at a time, but at least he let her read good books! Hell, once he let her drive the boat! ...now she was getting sad. "And you, kid, personal space have you heard of it? I swear everyone in this town shares a single braincell..!"

Even more baffledness, Daddy issues? He had absolutely no issue with his Father, that just absolutely baffling. Before he could say a word about it, the man roughly stood his ground shoving his hand into Diego's face. The palm flat hard against his nose but this didn't at all bother or sway him, no.. He actually licked the palm and enjoyed the flavor trying to get more of it into his mouth when suddenly the feminine voice sounded.
White hair male pulled away confusion written on his face, "I am not a child, a child is one recently born.. Father has raised me at least for 19 years... Coda's physical attributes are not at all intimidating or dangerous. If anything I rather enjoyed licking his hand, very salty." He did however shuffled along stepping away from the redhead uncertain what to do now, as she pointed out about personal space.
He blinked before responding once more, "If I cannot be near you, how do I interact with you? How.. Far.. Am I required to be to fit Social procedures..." |

Getting physical? A loud scoff escaped. Since when was a shove like this 'getting physical?' At least not so much more than was excusable since the guy was getting way, way too in his personal bubble. As far as he was concerned, this was a perfectly acceptable response to some asshole getting way too close for his tastes. "Child? Guy may be mentally riding the shorter carriage, but he's no kid. You need new glasses or something, girl?" Least they could agree the kid totally had some serious daddy i--
DID HE JUST LICK HIS HAND?!
He made a strangled noise and shoved much harder this time, his palm heating up to much more dangerous levels. Diego had about two seconds to move his face before he lost it, which it seemed he did just in the nick of time. Leaping to his feet, knocking his chair back, the redhead made a disgusted noise as he wiped his hand off on his shirt repeatedly. "Little shit just LICKED me! Godamn creep!" He was growling now, much more audibly, much more... teeth bared, sharper than normal fangs visible. "You want to know how far to stand? If I can't sock you in the godamn nose without taking a step, that's an acceptable fucking distance!" Between the low snarls and the snapped words, the sharper tang of a Japanese accent could be picked up in the words, natural and fluent though his features weren't exactly Asian. Well, aside from the violence threatened, he... at least was semi-reasonable about the distance he requested.

I don't need no remedy i need a damn good time "Oh excuse me, dick head. Sometimes it's hard to guess peoples ages!" Especially when half the people you regularly interact with are ageless immortals. You think that kid is 12 but turns out she's a reincarnate from 200 years ago and it's infuriating.
Hun had pulled out another book or two, tossing them on the table with a loud "thunk" before taking a few steps towards the scuffle.
"Move." She grabbed Diego's collar, pulling him back as she stared down Coda. She wasn't doing this for his benefit so much as Coda wanted a fight and she needed an excuse. If Diego wanted to think she was protecting him, then that was just a bonus. At this point, friends and allys were very much appreciated. "Listen, buddy, there ain't no reason to get all up in arms. Unless, of course, you're looking for a fight."
There were a few beats before she glanced back to Diego. "...And you. What the fuck is up with you? Jesus christ.."

The male jumped up began wiping the slobber all over his clothing repeatedly, the movement.. was rather appetizing, made Diego slobber just a bit in his mouth, he soon swallowed as the guy screamed how creepy it was. He looked away toward the female, almost wishing for some sort of understanding or even protection. This Redhead clearly had had fangs and clearly was switching into a language he rather didn't know.
There was a loud thunk from behind him, as a hand suddenly grabbed his collar pulling him back rather clumsily. The female stepping up facing the new vampire with rather ease, even going so far calling the guy Buddy. Were they friends now? Did friends fight? He didn't believe so, but he had been wrong before. She turned to him looking rather baffled asking what the hell was wrong with him. He blinked trying to clear his thoughts, "Its his fault, he did put his palm in my face... Lucky I didn't eat it." He rubbed his face mumbling complaints about how that second time actually hurt a lot... But didn't press it too much instead turning his attention to the redhead, "Are you some sort of Vampire? Or Bat person?"

Between the girls matching attitude and brainless McGee the weirdo, Coda was really burning up. He rolled his eyes with a small scoff, arms crossing over his chest as she defended herself. And the weirdo, it seemed, though it was clear she was just as jumpy for a good brawl as he was. Man he needed to let off some steam as well, but even as he stared down her challenge he knew he couldn't accept. He still had to keep his head low, and getting into random fights that might destroy the library was the complete opposite of staying low. She had the stench of magic, so it wasn't like he would be beating on some defenseless human. Still...
"I'm looking to wait out this shitty rain, nothing more or less than that." His lip curled back over his teeth even as he spat out those words, knowing the girl could've been a great brawl. And then weirdo had to chime in with something so priceless that Coda couldn't help staring for a good few minutes. "Godamn dare you to try. You try to eat it and I swear you won't have a fucking jaw to eat with ever again, seriously, what the fuck." The guy just didn't shut up though, and another scoff was earned. "Vampire? No wonder your dad hates comics. Vampires aren't real dipshit." Of course, he knew they were, but playing the part of cranky human teen was beyond important now, considering their arguing had earned a number of stares. So much for not making a scene.. he glanced off towards the onlookers, jaw tensing before snapping up his book and sinking into his seat reluctantly.

I don't need no remedy i need a damn good time "Lucky I didn't eat it".
Great, were the two of them supernaturals? Seemed like it...seemed like 90% of this town were supernatural. Where were all the magus? Or did humans even have magic here...
"Really? With how you're acting that's surprisin." Hun let go of Diego's collar. Was that a look of disappointment in here eyes? Probably.
During the lull, she went back and grabbed her books; Teleportation, rituals for beginners, and the most generic book on magic she could find, if either of the boys were nosy fuckers.
"God damn, don't you two ever stop? I've told you off twice, and already stepped in for your ass once or twice now! Get your shit together!" Hun muttered loud enough for both of them to hear. It was a miracle that the three of them weren't kicked out yet, but with the stares they all were starting to collect it was a matter of time.
Be it with her influence or without, it seemed like Coda went back to his seat.
Finally.
Instead of going back to "her" table, Hun sat down and leaned up against the bookshelf. It was too entertaining here. Interesting? Lively..? ...It was better here than over at that table.
