(hi)

>well, shit. no child in sight... he doesn't trust that tea in the slightest.

>he's in here now. If you're wondering about the tea. It's fine for now, clearly I have yet to die from it yet.

> a

11:03 PM

I was, actually... I'm not sure I trust it. I rarely drink anything I didn't brew myself.

That's understandable. The butler seemed normal for the most part though I...think I met the owner? I hope my eyes weren't deceiving me when I saw her.

...? Why would they be?

Well...she's a frog.

...

11:10 PM

You're not joking, are you...?

No. I definitely saw a frog speaking to me about tea when I found the butler.

>he's quiet for a minute....

11:15 PM

I've, seen weirder, but that doesn't make this any less confusing-

You're telling me... >he is looking at you now though, anular. Though I also haven't seen someone with a look like yours either.

... That so? You've never seen a demon before?

I've seen rather strange ways people were changed into, though a demon I haven't seen that wasn't a costume of sorts.

(HELLO? FGAMERS???)

(OH SHIT FGAMER?)

(HI AGAIN GAMER)

(HOWDY!)

> He's getting more curious about this place and the people in it, especially with the.. variety of reactions everyone's having, so! A semi-familiar face is a welcome sight at least!

Alright so from what he had seen. It was... That one person that went to the library, Cory, and Fredrick... Thats 3 humans. Moros and Jaws... 2 Nasods. Anular, a demon. The frog whose a bit of an unknown, and the butler also unknown.... There's also himself, whose half Elf.... He can't make heads or tails of this at all. Maybe it could be the order's doing. He's not so sure. This seems too out there, even for them... Where the hell was the kid??

12:11 AM

>He currently deep in thought.

> He waves a bit to try and catch his attention. Hey there! It's Clamor, right?

Hm? Oh yeah.

>There was one of them now... He doesn't seem like he *would* be apart of the order... Then again, he knows better to go just based off appearances.

Cory, right?

> He gives a friendly grin. That's right! How're you holding up? Find out anything cool?

.. What is that reaction. ...No really, why are you so relaxed about all of this? ...Do you know something you're not letting on? Now that they're alone, he's not that afraid to outright ask him.

...? I mean, it's kinda weird I guess that the owner's a frog, but I haven't really noticed much to not be relaxed about, I figured it's just part of the job. Gotta expect the unexpected, right?

Researcher.

12:18 AM

It's almost like he's figured something out. So what is it that you're looking for, here?

> He gives a head tilt and an awkward grin. I uh, dunno how much I should say, or... Well, how much do you know?

...You're really bad at hiding things, you know that, right? You really could have just gone with 'what are you talking about, you insane bastard'.

Ha! C'mon, that's what training's for, right? I'm pretty new to all this anyway, can't you cut me some slack?

12:22 AM

> Scratches the back of his head.

No. No really. You're so bad at this. He can't believe this. Training? Is this what this is to you?

He must be some sort of trainee magus... No, the only people with the capability to do this would be Seven Towers... Wait. If Anular was suprised that he could be from Elrios... Then...

.... He lets out a sigh. Let me introduce myself again, to you then. I am a half-elf named Clamor from a place called Elrios. Hundreds of years ago my body got stolen and I was stuck in a living weapon. He pauses right there, gesturing. ...Do you understand why I am freaking out, now?

..... > Blinks. > Blinks.

12:29 AM

Okay, yeah I guess that counts as reason for freaking out, sorry pal. So if your body got stolen then how are you like.. > Gestures vaguely toward Clamor. In a body. That does Not look like a weapon.

I don't know.

Ah.

...The last thing I remember is... It's a bit blurry. ...There was this kid I was with, he was starting to dip his toes into something really dangerous. I need to get back to him and make sure he's ok.

I just figured this was some Singularity training, they didn't tell me where I'd be rayshifting to as an exercise for like, information gathering. I didn't wanna stand out too much, but I guess with some of the guys here that standing out is the way to blend in.

12:32 AM

...Shit, I'm sorry about that though... And you haven't seen any sign of this kid here?

...Singularity training?

He mutters. Yeah no, this is definitely FAR out of the bounds of what Seven Towers was researching.. Either that or maybe the Order really has progressed that much.

12:34 AM

...None whatsoever. I can't even feel his energy here.

He always had an excess of dark el coursing within him. It just got worse when he started doing healing magic. He was fairly easy to pick out in a crowd.

...The only reason I haven't ran out of this place is exactly because I shouldn't have this body... Plus I wouldn't really know where to go.

Yeah, like something more hands-on than the simulator, I don't remember much from the briefing though. > Now that he thinks about it though, was there a briefing for this mission..?

12:38 AM

Man... Doesn't seem like there's anywhere you really can go until the fog lifts either...

...Did. You actually get briefed on this? He asks.

> .....sweats a bit nervously.

12:40 AM

I... should've been..?

...

12:41 AM

Oh no he's just as lost as the rest of them. (edited)

Okay so maybe there's a few reasons to be not-so-relaxed, feel free to consider me un-relaxed now. > His brows are furrowed, still trying to think and remember what happened right before he found himself at this manor.

Right. Sorry about that. Completely my fault and you can write in your report- in case I'm wrong- and I quote; 'that damn half-elf made me freak out over nothing'.

> He sits up suddenly like he just realized something important. Shit!

12:45 AM

I'm gonna have to do so much paperwork on this when I get back, damn!

He lets out a remourseful hiss. ....Actually, that's worse than being trapped here, yeah. If there's one thing he didn't miss about this body- it was the damn paperwork.

> He's gonna start looking around for a paper or anything to take notes on, mumbling a bit. Mannnn, why'd it have to go all weird and shit on my training? I'll take that quote just in case, 'half-elf made me freak out over nothing'. Hope it's just nothing...

He lets out a sigh. You and me both. He rumages around in his pockets and... Hm? He pulls out a single shard of broken glass. ....? The hell is this?

> Looks back at Clamor and pauses. Uhh, you usually carry around broken glass when you've got a body? Not to sound judgmental or anything but I don't think that's real safe.

... He makes an odd face towards it. ...To be honest, I've never seen this piece of glass before in my life. Although... It does feel... Strangely familiar.

Well, at least you didn't cut yourself on it or anything, that stuff can be sharp.

Yeah... He says absentmindedly. Putting it back in his pocket. ...Oh. Uh. I wasn't just. Doing that for no reason, but I guess I don't have a paper or pencil either. He shrugs.

> ....Raises an eyebrow at seeing him just. Put the broken glass back in his pocket. But okay dude you do you!

1:02 AM

Well thanks for checking at least, I'll keep looking for anything to make the paperwork later easier...

...He feels embarrassed now. But he... Really don't want to take that piece of glass out of his pocket, for some reason... Weird. Nonetheless he nods as if nothing weird just happened.

I know how that is.

> Hey he's not gonna judge, just be careful not to get cut on it!

1:08 AM

So.. like, before your whole 'body getting stolen' thing, were you with the Clock Tower or something? 'Cause that's gotta be a nasty spell to put a person in a weapon.

Clock tower?

Actually hey what's with academic places and the word 'tower'. Maybe they're all just being literal but... Ah well he can think about the parasite that is privatizing academics later.

Actually I worked with Seven Towers back when I did have a body... The whole 'body getting stolen' think was actually more someone else taking advantage of my research and using it against me when I became an inconvenience.

Working with the Order was a risk he should have never taken, they hurt so many people with his research. Himself included... Actually. The kid was close to figuring that part out himself... Maybe it was a small miracle that he didn't have to quite confront that yet. As cowardly as that sounds.

(edited)

Seven Towers, huh? > His ass doesn't recognize the organization name, but it's probably just an older one that isn't around anymore if this guy's thing happened hundreds of years ago. Yeah, sucks how common that is with mages, all the backstabbing and shit... You doing alright with a body again after so long?

... He looks down at his hands. ...Yes, that's. Actually really unsettling. Why *does* he feel alright? ...By all means. I should be feeling all manner of phantom pains, anxiety due to the difference in body, headaches nausea... Honestly if it wasn't me and we were somewhere more familiar, I might even say we should do a study on this. He didn't even feel hungry earlier. I.. Guess that gives me a few theories. None of them particularly good, nor would they make much sense.

Hmm... All kinds of weird stuff.... > He'll keep rummaging through some drawers and shelves, he's got so many notes to take.

...Ah, to be clear, I'm not feeling any of those symptoms... Really it's kind of freaky... Is there really not any paper around???
