Singing Through Protection

Name: Devin Coal

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Personality: Reserved and calm is the modus operandi for Devin. He doesn't give himself to his emotions often and is very diligent and focused in his work. He can be brutally honest to the point of people thinking he is rude.

Career: Works as a security consultant for high end software companies after he was discharged from the military where he worked for Navel Intelligence as a physical and cyber security analyst.

Bio: Devin was approached by his old friend Eric who he knew from his time at the Navy Academy. He needed an extra hand in helping with the personal security of a new singer who was signed on as the opening act for a major concert tour his production company was managing.

Singing Through Protection

So this is what it was like on a meat market… Devin thought to himself while the woman sized him up. He understood wanting to know more about the people you work with, but he wondered how much practical knowledge in protection she learned in her time as a singer. Still she was nice enough and seemed more down to earth than most celebrities he saw on the news so that was something worth celebrating.

He gave a slight blank stare when she mentioned getting to know each other during the tour. It was news to him that he had been signed on to more than a few shows in the East Coast. He looked over at Eric and frowned for a moment. His old friend giving him a sort of silent ‘don’t hate me’ look which was all Devin needed to see to realize he very likely had been hoodwinked.

“Yeah well you will barely know I am here. I’ll be making sure the regular venue security does their job and we should be fine from there. If you have a problem with any of them or worry about something you just have to tell me and I will make sure it is handled.” Eric gave a small grin as he watched the two dance around each other. It looked almost like some sort of weird mating ritual you would see on nature shows.

Upon dismissal the manager said his cheerful goodbye and left quickly so Devin couldn’t pin him to the wall and make him spill the beans on being signed up for more than a week. Instead he accepted the water from Savannah and took a seat over by the window. He then dragged the curtain to cover it and then stood back up moving towards the bed and leaning against the wall.

“I listened to your music on the way over here.” He said remembering her song playing on the radio. “People are saying you are looking to dethrone Taylor Swift." He mused this last part. Not really meaning anything from it, making it sound like an observation more than a statement. “This your first time in NYC?”

When he heard the door open again he smiled and bet it was a certain blonde that had been on his mind a lot. She rounded the corner and walked down to the edge of the evidence rack where he was finishing up. Resting an arm on the box he leaned against the rack and looked back at her while she finished walking towards him. "Guilty as charged." He said when she pressed him on if he missed her or not.

"Somehow my place still hasn't actually gotten clean from when you last said over and I had all weekend to clean." Devin knew this was rather odd considering how opposites they were. She clean at work and slob at home. Him clean at home and a slob at work. Though he didn't mention that this was usually due to the fact that a bachelor living in New York should never have a dirty apartment. Especially if a guest could come by.

At first he held up 3 fingers. He pretended to think as if the math was hard or confusing. "No scratch that..." he said with a grin. Then he raised his other hand from the box and held up 8 fingers. "The two fingers were the ones that got to use the remote so they are a little bias" he added as he moved in and wrapped his partner in his arms. "You know this is one of the places with no cameras... and only one sound activated entrenches...."

"Well I guess the fairy appreciated your help last week with digitizing most of the field reports last week." Devin said with a smile. His weekend had mostly consisted of cleaning his apartment and going to his cousins little league baseball game. He had hoped to have brought Harper, but the wedding plans from five months ago sort of took precedent. He had wondered if he should have maybe asked to go, but then thought against it. They talked about the weekend they each had as they got to work. Devin tried to make baseball exciting for Harper which was difficult, but he loved it so he went along telling her about the almost hit he had in the 7th inning and the almost catch he had in the 4th.

Finally a lab tech walked by and put a big box on his desk. "Secondary findings from the garage. Need your signature." The cop handed Devin a chain of evidence sheet for him to sign. He did so and then slapped the paper on the double sided tape lid of the box.

Picking up the box Devin gave Harper a wink. "I'll take this into evidence if you want to see to that second task?" he said casually. He then made his way to the buildings evidence lock up. Using his key card he opened the door and then through the racks of case files started to look for the correct place for the garage evidence while waiting to see if Harper was going to join him for some afternoon nookie.

Okay if there is anyone who has a specific idea for how they know or get along with my character I am more than excited to start working with you on coming up with some specifics! You can reach me through PM which would be best due to Discord not working for me today sadly.

I am open to enemies, friends rivalries, love interest, indifference, and everything else a bunch of kookier kids can get up to.

Happy Monday Everyone!
My goal right now is to have everyone wrap up their second character section before Thursday of this week so we can get going and hopefully have the IC up and running before the weeks end. If we don't make this deadline it isn't the end of the world, but I will ask that we all do our part to try and make it possible.

Time Skip

The past few weeks were full of late nights due to work, passion, or lust for Devin and Harper. It hadn't become a thing yet; however at least twice a week she was staying at his apartment overnight. With her current roommates not leading to many moments alone it was the natural order of things and made for the obvious choice. At first Harper was against anything in the office, but after a few late night food orders and a clearly unoccupied interrogation room things started to happen.

This morning Devin had gotten out of bed later than most and headed to work wearing dark wash jeans and a black shirt along with a mustard jacket. With the extra time he decided to walk part of the way to work after getting a bagel along the way. During this walk he ran into a few of his fellow neighbors and shared some small talk pleasantries.

When he reached the next station he went down and took the train the rest of the way to work and arrived around five minutes before work formally started. Since the shooting that meant Devin was actually late. People had been coming in early to work extra time before shifts. When one of their own was shot at it meant all of them were shot at. Devin tossed a muffin he got on Harpers desk and sat down on his own and started working on what was in front of him.

@Lunarlord34

Apologies that was my confusion. For some reason I had it in my head that outside of the Zero Time magic was significantly weaker. Thank you for explaining. I had thought about an idea where my character was going to get addicted in a way to the Zero Time because he could see, but I will need to rework it to better make sense!

To the character drawing board!

Mahoukyo: A Tale of Three

I am comfortable with all the information to draft up my character. I will say I find myself still wanting to move forward with my idea of a blind character who can summon some type of creatures (leaning towards wolves) which would fight alongside him and he is able to see through them. For now this would be the only way he could see which means he can only see while in the Zero Time and is unable to do so outside.

I also plan to have the character somehow incorporate his white cane into a weapon (Maybe it can collapse into two night sticks?

Does any of this sound unfair. My idea would be he would be between the ages of 22 and 25.

After Harper’s brother left the room started to go quiet in a comfortable way. They happily sank into the couch enjoying their food and mutual company. Their conversation went from one thing to another with no clear focus which was the point Devin was trying to make. He figured she might not have fully processed what had happened today and if that was the case he didn’t want her to be alone.

“So you are saying if you had to choose you would rather go to a basketball game then a baseball game even though the music is better at baseball games?” Devin said with a laugh. He finally got up and started to clean the living room up after their food hurricane. Back and forth between the kitchen and living room he spotted how great she looked in the yoga pants. NOrmally she was entirely put together, but now in her natural habitat.

On his last trip back he noticed the two fortune cookies were left and broke his open. He didn’t care to read it and instead just put the cookie down and went on top of Harper and started to kiss her. Holding himself above her so as to not crush her Devin felt every emotion he felt the night before. Looking down at her he felt as though everything that happened last night was about to happen again, but he knew better.

Afterall some of those positions he didn’t think were possible considering her hand now.
