Vol 2. Ch3. I can seeee you!

" No way, that can't be right." Coop said slack-jawed, staring at the watch. He glanced at the other books Tobrias had brought him. " Guess I better keep going before the spell wears off." He said as he pulled the next book and opened it.

"The second investigation will begin, then." Tobrias says, turning to look out into the city, his eyes wandering to the Fifth Tower in the Southwest of the city where the military were housed. After a moment he turns around. "In the meantime, we should check on Eleutheroi's and Zachary's progress."

(Coop)
Coop had found several odd tax entries about the delivery property Zéké had indicated. Some seemed like odd adjustments, but, it was, about a decade ago, clearly a hotel.

Suddenly, looking up, Tobrias and Sarah had entered the room. "Have we found anything?" Tobrias asks.

[dakota]

Still buzzing through another text, Coop didn't speak at first. Once he finished, he rubbed his temples. " I think I hit overload. Everything is starting to blur together." He pushed the finished book away, and rested his head in his hand. " I know there was something in there though."

He looked at Eleutheroi," I guess this is where I take the other scroll?"

Sarah enters the library and sits next to Coop quietly looking over the books that he'd been reading. "Other scroll? What scroll is it?" she asks, looking curious.

" Uh, total recall I think Tobrias called it." Coop replied as he unrolled it. " You missed the speed reading." He motioned towards stack of books. " now I need this one to figure out what I just read. How'd things go at the mall?" He asked as he started to read over the scroll before invoking it.

Sarah smiles weakly and fidgets with her hands a bit. "It.. it went ok." she replies quietly. Glancing at Tobrias, she takes a deep breath and tells Coop what Holia had told her in the mall. "There's going to be a silent investigation while we keep looking into the Old One's scenario." She falls quiet, fiddling with the nearest book.

Coop stopped midword and looked up at Sarah. " Are they nuts? What could they be thinking, that they can just raid hades for cannon fodder if we go to war?" He looked at Tobrias and then Eleutheroi. " I know, I know, focus on what I'm doing..." He sighed as he went back to reading over the scroll.

Sarah shrugs and replies "That might be the reason. I don't know." She continues to fidget with her hands, hoping they would be able stop the old ones in time before anyone was hurt or killed.

"Oh, for a plot as simple as an international war." Says Eleutheroi whistfully. "Demons are hard to transport, and to move around Shards, they would be caged in aircraft. Confined aircraft. Confined aircraft where their captors and most desired of meals cannot not themselves escape..."

"That is sufficient, Eleutheroi." Tobrias says. "Do not concern yourselves with it at the moment. If they are related, they will be treated as such, if not, then Sarah has indicated a quiet approach is more appropriate, and that is what will do."

With that, the Guild Master turns to Coop. "What have you two found? Anything interesting?"

[dakota]

Coop told Tobrias about the tax entries, and anything else he found in the books. He sat with his jaw clenched as the spell continued to work, undoing months of therapy and allowing him to remember the night at his grandfather's farm vividly. He got up without looking at Sarah, knowing she'd know something was wrong, and started out of library," I'll be right back, that recall spell just reminded me to go to the bathroom." He forced a grin and walked away, fighting the urge to run as he found the washroom and locked himself in a stall, he hands clamped to his head in a wasted attempt to fight it as he waited for the memories to fade back to where his mind locked them away.

Tobrias looks between Eleutheroi and Sarah. "One of you should make sure he is not disturbed... for a while at least. He will be fine when the spell wears off, but has yet to learn to focus."

[Mierin]

Sarah nods with a solemn look on her face and looks for a piece of paper and writes 'OUT OF ORDER' in big letters and grabs some tape. She then quietly heads to the men's washroom and tapes the sign on the door so that no one else would enter the washroom while Coop was in there. She then finds a chair/bench outside the washroom and watches to make sure people pay attention to the sign so coop isn't disturbed.

As the memories started to get to him, Coop shouted in anger," Get out of my head!" to no avail. His frustration led him to reel back and slug the stall door , his fist hitting it hard enough to pop the latch and swing the door open. His fist throbbed slightly but did nothing to fight the spells effects as he flopped back down, wiping his eyes. " Why they have to do this to me?" he murmured to himself.

As suddenly as the memories had arrived in all their vividosity, Coop's fade back into the ether; the spell wearing off at last. Looking around, he finds himself in an empty silence, alone with only the present moment, in a bathroom.

While Sarah waited, a few staff walked by, and clucked their tongue, but said nothing with he standing guard.

[Mierin]

Sarah flinches when she hears the sound of the door being punched, and hopes that Coop didn't really hurt himself doing whatever it was that he did. She stays where she is, looking worried, hoping that he would be ok, wishing there was something she could do to help him.
