All the burden on my shoulders has been put aside for now, and when I have to pick them up again, I take it happily as this time I have someone to help me.

Soon it's summer and soon I'm enjoying holidays.

Bio

They called me Habibi when I played World of Warcraft. I enjoyed the nickname.

I also enjoyed playing it. Reading the lore, raiding, eventually playing in RP-servers and making quite many stories there. From there my interest to roleplaying rose. I tried forum RP:s, Larps, dungeons and dragons... And eventually I found myself here.

I enjoy playing characters and wondering how different people and characters see the world, why they think like they do, how they would do their relationships. I enjoy telling stories and wondering things from different perspectives. Moral issues from black to white and every shade of grey between them. Wondering religious, philosophical and ethical things. Trying to understand one's culture and background. Trying to understand others from the point of view of my characters.

As for what else I do? I'm studying physics in Finland. Going to specialize in material physics. I also dance. Like, a lot. Ballroom dancing, historical dancing, Charleston, Swing dances... I love the way of expressing myself through music. A hobby of mine that I'd love to do bit more professionally.

Good day, or evening or night, you lot! How are you this weekend?
The magical lot were once again concerned, which didn't increase Robert's Christmas spirit. And the loud bang most probably wasn't Santa. Rob hadn't seen Jacob this concerned before; hatred against vampires and dedication to case, yes, but to be afraid for his daughter? This was his first. He couldn't imagine what could threaten Amanda in the PHI quarters. It was supposed to be a safe place and he hoped Jacob's worries were a false alarm.

Then again, even after this many years, there was still much unknown to Robert.

”Mr. Miller, Miss Staten, I would appreciate it if you would join me in keeping Miss Baker company ” Sol grunted with a voice Miller likened to that of a tractor's engine, like worried that he'd be left alone looking after Cat. Whatever out there was, Jacob, Emma and Morgan would be more than enough to handle it. Robert and Mandy would do better here. And definitely there were still more questions to be asked. Great minds thought alike as Sol continued ”Perhaps we should turn our attention to this wand…”

Robert nodded and took out both a handkerchief and his one-and-half a year old phone, complete with respectable camera and a cloud storage common with his own computer. It was an engineering masterpiece in Robert's eyes. He started to take pictures from the rod, then carefully turned it with handkerchief for more pictures.

Thud made Robert stop for a moment. Quick look towards the source's direction but as it wasn't bullets being shot, he continued focusing on the matter at hand. Mandy had started to ask questions from Cat. About other ghosts that were missing. Whether it was relevant or not he left for her to figure out.

It was remarkable in a sense. Robert was a detective: there's evidence, it leads to somewhere and he'd follow a trail to another lead or an answer. Simple and straightforward. But when Amanda Staten had come to the office, solving cases had taken another step onward. Give her a pile of evidence and she'd see soon enough where the pieces of puzzle would fall. Her hunches and thoughts felt far-fetched at times but they were always worth checking out. Especially when they were dealing with the unknown paranormal phenomena. Like now.

Robert picked up the rod with his handkerchief for closer look and a video, where he'd rotate the rod to have a great view from carvings. Branch from a birch tree. Narrow end had seen more than just twisting and racking; the bark had some wearing, like being dragged on the ground. Someone had been drawing stuff with the stick and Rob could bet his doughnut it wasn't a smiley face. A close-up picture from the rod's end before focusing on the stains. Seemed that their staff-maker had literally spent sweat and blood making this staff.

Whose blood it could be in this stain, though? The sister's? The crafter's? Or someone else? Robert took another picture from the markings and the bloody stain. He inspected it a tad closer before putting the wand back on table. Robert leaned towards Sol. With quiet voice so that Catherine wouldn't hear, he said ”Blood on the rod. Perhaps her sister... I'll do some forensics soon at the corner.”

Corner he referred was place where they had gathered some basic equipment for research. Few leftovers from police forces, some throw-away equipment from university, couple self-made paranormal sensors and a some low-quality magical artifacts. Robert preferred to work there at peace, partly because he also made phone calls to his connections. For a case at hand, he'd try to get a favor from a buddy in police force. But before that he had one more question to Catherine...
G'evening (or g'day or afternoon depending the time zone), I've been practicing Boogie Woogie, which is pretty damn hard but getting there, getting there...

Also, I saw The Martian. It was a fun movie I can recommend. Not ground shattering but creative and quite realistic.
@lady horatio They had the anesthetic, so it didn't hurt. Nothing to be afraid of when it comes, it just feels weird :D
Bleeding's stopped but I'm keeping it safe and not eating anything too solid for now.
I had my wisdom tooth removed, another one goes probably later this fall. It was an interesting as I didn't know it'd be removed IMMEDIATELY AS I GO TO DENTIST TO CHECK MY TEETH!

...It was surprisingly fun. Though I've been spitting blood for 4 hours now.
@lady horatio No worries and nothing to apologize for! I'm sorry that the trip didn't turn out as fantastic as hoped, but hopefully your mood rises as we continue the story.

Fading agitated… Wailing… After that, disappearance… Small details. Perhaps important. And then she came to the jackpot. Couple of men at the alleyway, close to a fuse box… They had dropped some peculiar staff. Filled with runes and carvings like some decorated lucky amulet from gypsy or Native American. Judging by the reaction of those… Magically attuned around the table, there was something peculiar about the staff. Robert wasn’t a doctor of mathematics like Emma, but even he could sum two and two together. At least it was promising. A lead the Priest and Hawthorne investigators could follow.

Suggesting that the men at fuse box were behind the incident, several questions came with the assumption. Who were the men? Why they kidnapped the ghost? How exactly they did it? And how did they know about the ghost? How many people were involved with the kidnapping? This lead could be quite hot to handle, they definitely needed more information. Someone to inspect the archives about the staff and possible similar cases. Other people to inspect the crime scene. Cameras from local stores or companies. Witnesses, either those living on the building or on the street. Morgan could touch the staff to see if she found out anything relevant.

There was also the unlikely chance that Catherine was making an act. Perhaps the staff was hers, perhaps the ghost disappeared by accident and they were going for a wild goose chase. It was unlikely assumption even in Robert's mind and nobody was that good of an actor anyway. But just in case, Robert would want to check her background. Information about the witness and her family. Could light her abilities and thing or two about sister too.

At any case, it was good that there were 5 of them with pistols against the possible ghostnappers with at least 3 of them – Jacob, Morgan and Rob himself- knowing how to use them effectively. Emma and Jacob knew also knew some magic in case the opposition had some of that accursed magic too. With variety of unknown factors the diversity of skills at their disposal was their strength.

Robert rose his sight to meet Catherine. ”Alright then. Catherine, I wish you relax yourself a little and think back. Can you describe the persons who dropped this... Peculiar rod?” Robert asked with his caffeine-refreshed voice. ”Anything that struck out? Did you see any vehicle as they were leaving or could you hear them talking anything? Names, locations...” Robert tried to lead her thoughts, looking into the two wet emeralds that were her eyes.
Well, I have a post ready. Might as well advance the plot a bit.
I'm fine if not for school activities, school-related activities and non-school related activities...

I'm fine ^^


How's everyone with their posts? I got something drafted but wondering whether to wait for other posters or be greedy and throw in another?
I've been fine, enjoying Jazz, Pizza and Babylon 5.

@vietmyke Nice! Hoping for great wedding experience!
