You can apply again any time you want. But Swan may be taken by that time.

Cursed Critters - Tallshade Tales

Hey guys, I feel like I have been away for ages. Sorry about that. You would think that being cripple gives one the opportunity to be online on the guild all the time. Unfortunately not. But hey, I'm back and I missed you guys bunches. Rob's coming up with a plan and friday is a party at the CSC! whooo!
Just so you guys know, you guys can take these liberties as well. If you feel like there should be something happening, just make it so. As long as it's coherent with what we already have and at least leaning towards realism. When in doubt, ask in the OOC.

"Yo Eddie, you know what I need man, some caffeïne would be great. Good thing you're heading this way. I have a plan."

Well, the plan was not quite done yet. But it was taking shape. He did have to do some work once in a while, so Martha wouldn't get suspicious. There were some tasks that needed to be done, like ordering new books. It was boring, but among the more exiting chores, since it wasn't something daily. While half on facebook, half checking of the books that needed to be ordered and typing out their book codes, Robert's eye had fallen on a flyer on the counter. Figuratively.
It was a monthly program of things to do in Tallshade. For the students or for people like him who should be studying, but at least matched the age category. Coming friday, a band would be playing at the Castle Street Café. He might be interested to go. And ofcourse he would ask Eddie. And then it hit him.... They would go. They would ask out, the girls they were supposed to be keeping in on saturday. Or perhaps they would go already. They just needed to make sure they would get really, really drunk. And go home with them. He didn't actually need to sleep with Rachel. He just needed to be there on saturday. How hard could it be, to keep her in, when she was really hungover, and he would be around to make sure she wouldn't leave.
It was the first time he would try to hook up with a girl, not for anything romantic. Well, not that he was totally against that idea. It was just not the main goal.

The thought of this new adventure excited him. Surely Eddie was going to join in on his plan. Next to the fact that that was what he did most of the time, this was the perfect opportunity for that little push that he needed with his girl. Now they only needed to get the girls to come as well. But how hard could that be? He already had Rachel's number.
This was going to be great. Turning his back towards Martha for a moment, he took his flask from his belt.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."

That was as far as Robert got into Poe's poem. With not much people in the library, he had some time to read away. Not that he was allowed to do that, but hey, Martha couldn't watch him everywhere. This guy was a classic and when Rob saw 'the raven' in the index, he was planning on dreaming away and making unnecessary links to Terry.

But this was only the first verse, and the complete poem's length was too long for his attention span. It wasn't all that catchy. Metrum, seriously. How was he supposed to fit in:"Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore" if he was going to read that out loud.

The other Ed still hadn't replied to him. There was also a poem titled "alone". He sighed. Not going to dwell on being a failure today.

"Excuse me." A voice in front of him said. Quickly Rob closed the book and pretended to be inspecting it. "You work here, right?"
He looked up. If that wasn't what you would call an unrealistic coincidence. Before him stood the wide-eyed girl named Rachel Brooks. "Yes..?"
"I'm looking for a book. It's called eh.. "toxic parents"" She said almost without hesitating.
And this is the girl I'm supposed to do something to? Shit..

"Let me just check in the computer if we have that available."
As they walked towards the computer, Roberts mind was racing. This was his chance. Come on come on come on! Think of something!
Robert scrolled through the endless list of books, pretending to be searching. Then he thought of something. Not an actual plan yet. But it would buy him some time.
"Ah, looks like it's out at the moment. It should be coming back this week. I can give you a call when it's returned, if you want." He ran his hand through his hair. It could be considered good service, or it could be considered rude to implicitely ask for a customers number. Though she could take it as flirtatious. Which could work in his favor. So many if's. She wasn't his type though.
"eh sure. Here's my number." She wrote it down on a piece of paper for him. "Thanks!" Robert watched her leave.
Well that was easy. Should've tried this trick earlier.

Hey Akaya, sorry to leave you hanging. I don't think this the RP for me after all. I'll remove my character from the tab.

Isaac Lynch

Father Lynch emerged from the front doors of the church. He had just finished his letter and was now heading to the mailbox to post it. He enjoyed the morning hours when there still shone some sunlight on this otherwise so grim town. It was not only the eternal shadow of the mountain that they lived under. It was also in the atmosphere. Though many people where christians, it was as if the heathen spirits that dwelled here eons ago, never really left this place. As servant of the lord, he could sense these things. But with the awareness also came the responsibility. It was his holy duty, to rid this town once and for all, from the shadow that was cast, by evil spirits of the past. With the light of the lord, he would clense this place and it's people.
The last mayor had considered his ideas lunatic. But now with the new mayor, he was going to take it on all differently. He had his plans all worked out. And once he would get the chance to talk to her, he would make her see the things for how they were. With her help, he would finally be able to fullfill this dream that he had since he was appointed this church in this town, ten years ago.
For he, Father Lynch, was the shepherd of these people -these sheep, that needed guidance. And protection from the ever pressing presence of the wolf. The Darkness that these ungratefull inhabitants were so unaware of.

There was actual lore on this. Ancient tales, that many discarded as child's stories. some parts of the town were older than most people knew. The Library had very old books. The church was build on ruins of a mysterious building that he still didn't know the purpose for. And the mines had been abandoned for longer than anyone's grandparents remembered.

And HE knew. HE was going to figure out why. HE saw the hidden patterns in what people might call bad luck. HE was going to end this. HE, not the Lord.. but Father Lynch.
But ofcourse he was going to need some help.

When the letter slipped into the mailbox, father lynch snapped out of his daydream, before starting his way back to the church.

@AccursedBiscuit No problem, I think a lot of people start their day like that, so that can still work ;)

"..ate now to say sorry? -sorry. Cause I'm missing more then just your bo.. SLAM!
Robert smacked his radio alarmclock. Though he had initially thought that waking up to music was better than to wake up to an annoying and repetetive beeping, he was starting to have some doubts. While rubbing the sleep out of his face, he walked to the kitchen in his underwear to make himself some oatmeal. While the water was boiling, he looked in the mirror. A leaf was still stuck in his messy hair. With his fingers he combed his hair a bit, so that he would at least look good enough to go to work today. Not that he was planning to put much more effort into that. Well, getting dressed perhaps.

fifteen minutes later, Robert was walking towards the library, enjoying the only sunlight that would be touching his skin today. This sure was a good town for lightsensitive gingers. Though the work was not going to be very interesting, there was an interesting adventure waiting for him in the form of Grimbolds mission. In the form of Rachel Brooks, the girl that was going to have a bad time this week. It was the first time that Robert felt somewhat hesitant about Grimbold's orders. He would do it ofcourse. But she seemed so innocent. The sigh he let out, was visible as a small cloud that escaped his mouth, due to the cold.
Rob took his smartphone out of his pocket.

From: Rob
Yo Eddie, any plans with your girl yet? You should definitely ask her out. You could keep her busy on saturday;) Except that you'll probably have to leave for that other thing though.

After hitting send, Robert looked up again to see where he was going. Just in time to evade a lamp post. That would've been ironic.

When he reached his destination, he saw his boss just opening the door. "Morning Martha"
He was totally ready for another extremely uneventful day. Yay, my life.
