Edmund: *still not over anything, just putting it out there; lost the signal earlier in the day and it's been a longer silence than usual because sure, it drops, but then it comes back a few mins later. and with everything going on he just flips out. okay yeah, I need to tell Remus now especially bc he's seeing that Eve girl now, I cannot. Walks up to the principia and knock knocks*
Remus *looks up from his desk* Come on in!
Ed: *opens the door and comes in; semi dead eyed* (usual monotone) You're peppier than usual.
Remus: I'm almost done with paperwork for the day, who wouldn't be happy? You're not here to start another fight, are you?
Ed: ............. Yes. *goes to punch him* And no.
Remus *o.o ducks just in time and Aurum stands and bares his teeth* What the hell, Simons!?
Ed: *fist curls up and Cinny grows and growls at Aurum* I could ask you the same thing!!
Remus: Excuse me? I wasn't the maniac coming in here to punch people! *Aurum keeps his bright red eyes fixed on Cinny now*
Ed: *goes to swing at him again*
Remus *goes to catch him by the wrist and if he can, twist it behind his back*
Ed: *just lets him. because hey, pain* Dejavu.
Remus: What the heck is your problem this time around, kid?
Ed: Oh, where do I start?
Remus: How about with the truth, or I will break this arm off for your insolence.
Ed: Okay. *now expecting his arm to break, but it's okay. i deserve pain* I came, because... I have to tell you something.
Remus: That doesn't involve trying to behead me, I presume?
Ed: No, I'd be surprised if you didn't try to take my head off when I actually tell you.
Remus *lets go* Then say your piece.
Ed: *looks at Remus, then at Cinny, and swallows* It's... *exhales and blinks; doesn't want to say it... just in case... but now that the signal's gone and Remus is kinda moving on with Eve...* Felicity. I.... I think she's alive. *just stands still, expecting Remus to punch or something; and yes, he'd take it without protest*
Remus *frowns, then looks at Aurum, who would have reacted if Ed was lying, but the dog didn't react at all, then looks back to Ed* I'm sorry, but...as much as I wish that were true, it can't be. You were there.
Ed: *mouth twitches slightly* Yeah... I know I was. I remember. But I uh... *clears throat and takes his GPS out from one of Cinny's drawers* There's been mass monster signs that've been here, here, here.... all over Europe, really. A couple of kids say they've seen them... one said they saw remains of dark smoke, it could've been shadow travel. It's been going on for months. It's.... yeah, all I got.
Remus: Maybe it's just a stray child of Mors we don't know about.
Ed: *shakes head* Too many monsters for a minor God.
Remus: Maybe... maybe Pluto has another kid we don't know about...
Ed: *looks away slightly and nods* And if it's not?
Remus: It can't be her. Believe me, I want to believe it is too, but how can it be? It just doesn't make sense.
Ed: I know. That's what I thought too. But, she's a daughter of Pluto... she probably knows a thing or two about fake deaths. I just.... I think it's her.
Remus *sits back in his seat and places his elbows on the desk, face in hands as he thinks. Then it comes to him* Hold on... yes, hold on... *opens his drawer and pulls out the much-read and oft-cried-over letter from Felicity from before the war and starts rereading it* I always overlooked it, but... Hold on. *pulls a post-it over and a pen and starts making notes. After he goes through it several times, scribbling notes on this or that, something clicks* Oh...my gods...
Ed: *just watches him, looking semi confused*
Remus *hands over the post it with lots of scribbles and cross-outs* The mispellings spell something... *at the bottom it read "I'm Alive"*
Edmund: *mutters* and you guys complained about my handwriting... *looks down the piece of paper and eyes widen slightly and then do a forced, semi eye roll* Idiot.
Remus: What? Why am I an idiot now, eh?
Ed: *grumbles* Both of you.
Remus: Both of me what? There's only one of me last I checked
Ed: No. You idiot. You and her.
Remus: she is not an idiot. *glares hard*
Ed: Yeah, sure Stone. We can argue that one till we're 40.
Remus *sighs* Okay, so she had her moments. But still...
Ed: *scoffs* So've all of us. We're pretty much all on the idiotic spectrum. But anyway. *clears throat slightly* That's not the only reason I've come.
Remus: *looks at him a moment* You mean there's more than suspecting Felicity to be alive?
Ed: ..... I wanted...I wanted to contact her. I've got a pretty good idea where she is, but my signal dropped out and wouldn't come back. As long as she hasn't moved, she should be around the last ball of shadow and monster energy. I know one way to get it back. So, I kinda only got one shot at it... and I was guessing that you'd kill me if I made contact and you weren't there.
Remus: Well, you're right about one thing. I would kill you. Alright, then, what's your idea?
Ed: *smirks slightly and then opens Cinny up so all his wires show and then attaches one of the auxiliary wires to his GPS machine* You may want to take a step back.
Remus *does so, watching carefully*
Ed: *stays there and and telepathically turns both of Cinny and GPS's power on full blast; Cinny starts vibrating and lighting up*
Remus *o.o, Aurum growls* What are you doing?
Ed: Transferring energy. *Cinny starts sparking, high whining noise; some of the chips and wires explode and then he shuts down completely* *the GPS lights up and zoom dials in on the exact location right outside Apollo's villa, where the monster protection ends*
Remus *takes another step back* T-transferring energy? *O.O, watches everything going on* So... what does that mean?
Ed: Yes.... *looks at Cinny and frowns slightly; clears throat* It means... *holds out GPS which is frozen with the location* That's where she is. Or at least, that's where she was last before the signal stopped working. Which means one of two things. A) She's in some weird area where monsters don't exist or B) my GPS is a total screw up.
Remus: Well then why aren't we there? How can we get there?
Ed: Don't look at me. I can't teleport and it'd take days to get there and she could be gone by then. When I said contact, I meant IM.
Remus: Oh... right. Of course. *goes back to his desk and digs until he pulls out a denarius* There's a crystal for official IM's back this way, but I'm sure I'm not the first to use it for something not so official. Come on. *leads the way down the records hall, but turns into a room with a big window and hanging crystal before they get to the records rooms*
Ed: *watches him. takes a look at Cinny, who's semi emitting steam and sparking a little and then follows and looks around* Dang.
Remus: *takes a deep breath and walks up to the rainbow being thrown against the wall near the door* Ready?
Ed: *mouth twitches* Yeah.
Remus: Where was that again? The GPS signal?
Ed: Sicily
Remus *nods, then looks back to the rainbow and tosses the coin in* Lady Iris, may we please speak to Felicity Weingarten in Sicily?
Ed: *stands there*
Felicity: *since, timezone differences and stuff. Sitting out on a porch seat snuggled under a blanket looking at the stars thinking when the IM shows up and she sees them. Doesn't know what to say for a moment* Well thats definitely not a star... *half-muttered*
Remus *stops short and pales* F-felicity...
Ed: *and stone face*
Felicity: *looks at Remus, then Ed and pulls the blanket up to cover her face some* .......So, you found out?
Remus: You can thank Ed for that... and the note you left. So...you're alive...
Ed: The note you left. *just looks at her*
Felicity: *tears her eyes off Remus and his last statement and looks at Ed, knitting her eyebrows* How did you find out?
Ed: (flat) A lot of denial, stubbornness, and clusters of mass monster sightings.
Felicity: *pulls the blanket tighter around her at the mention of the monsters* Right.... mass monsters. *glances at Remus* I'm sorry....
Remus: Sorry is a start. How about explaining yourself next?
Ed: She doesn't have to. Not like this.
Felicity: Yeah... *looks away from both of them* It's a long story I'd much rather tell in person.
Remus: Then come back... *quieter than before*
Ed: *stonyness melts a little* Yeah... uh... *looks at her* please come back.
Felicity: *glances at them* I will.... just, not yet.
Remus: Soon...?
Ed: *looks away and nods slightly*
Felicity: Yeah, soon. I promise.
Remus: Okay... thanks...
Ed: *quietly* okay
Felicity: *nods and takes a deep breath* Good conversation guys.... *trying to lighten the mood some, hopefully*
Remus: Sorry... just...wasn't expecting this...
Ed: (flat) good to know my communication skills haven't vanished.
Felicity: *smirks some at Eds statement* Yeah... sorry, but I'll explain everything when I get back. I just have to tie up some lose ends with a couple of gods.
Remus: Gods? Sorry, you said you'd explain later. I won't ask any more questions.
Ed: *nods slightly*
Felicity: *looks at Remus for a moment before looking away* Yeah, I look forward to that conversation. *sarcasm, half-mutter before yawning*
Remus: You're tired. We'll let you go then...
Remus *looks up from his desk* Come on in!
Ed: *opens the door and comes in; semi dead eyed* (usual monotone) You're peppier than usual.
Remus: I'm almost done with paperwork for the day, who wouldn't be happy? You're not here to start another fight, are you?
