[dorm room 3-10]
[Sleep paralysis on its own was enough to put him on edge. Was this some kind of ill-conceived attack with magecraft? No, that wasn't likely--if it was and his would-be opponent had an ounce of sense in their heads, he'd be dead already. In the moments it took him to properly regain his senses, Waver ran through a list of hypothetical causes for this problem...each as unlikely as the last.]
[Finally, he was able to sit up and brush long, disheveled black hair from his face. Now that it occurred to him, Waver couldn't even remember having fallen asleep to begin with. Hadn't he only just been leaving a lecture hall in the Clock Tower? If he'd fainted, this didn't seem like any infirmary they had to his knowledge. As he considered the matter, Waver idly trailed a hand to the back of his own neck and froze. Though the collar's presence disturbed him, he could figure that out later. What caused him to halt in place wasn't the presence of something foreign, but the absence of something familiar.]
That's not possible. It's gone, how the hell can it possibly-- [He muttered under his breath for a second, double checking to be sure whatever it was (likely a necklace of some kind, from how he was acting) had actually gone missing.]
[One might find him shortly after that, rummaging through his trunk with some very determined sense of urgency.]
[floor eighty-one]
[Standing before the windows and looking skyward was one unfazed lecturer in a dark green suit, black hair tied in a long ponytail and sunglasses resting on top of his head. In his hands are a pen and small notebook, and every few minutes he pauses to take something down in chickenscratch handwriting.]
[floor twenty-five]
[Here, said ponytailed and sunglasses-wearing individual seems to be doing something a little strange. Namely, something with a case full of glass vials and liquids that might scream 'mad scientist'.]
[Or 'alchemist', if one knew better.]
[Whatever method he was using, Waver seemed to be analyzing a few specific flowers in the meadow, presumably to determine whether they were magical or supernatural in origin.]
[Judging by the frustrated look on his face? They're probably not.]
[floor three]
[A library; the natural habitat of clever people, especially this one in particular. He examined the shelves with a critical look, a small pile of books on the table nearby. Whatever he's actually looking for, it doesn't seem he's able to find it. He adjusted the sunglasses on his head as though doing so was some odd habit, scowling in faint aggravation.]
[anywhere else]
[Of course, anyone doing this much exploring is bound to run into monsters. Maybe he's on his own, or maybe he stopped to defend someone else. Whatever the case, he shifted into a fighting stance as though it were second nature and immediately moved to take down the enemy before him with swift, precise strikes.]
[When the monster had been taken down and the danger was momentarily avoided, Waver straightened up and did little more than dust off his dark green suit with a completely unfazed look.]
[Yeah. Totally a thing that happens every day, right?]

No, but it is all to easy to forget how to have fun here. I would prefer you don't do that yourself or let me do it. I'm pretty serious myself as you might remember.
no subject
[Sigh.]
I have to admit, that's the most fun I've had in a long time.
no subject
Good, I am glad to hear it. Fun is in such short supply here for obvious reasons.

[Diarmuid shrugs.]
In any event, I have only found one other human who could react and think through things as fast as you can. He's a friend of mine named Suzaku. I'm not entirely sure how he learned to react so fast, but he is very impressive to fight against. I wonder if his geis has anything to do with having to learn to react so fast. I should ask him sometime, though if he will answer is anyone's guess.
[He laughs, suddenly looking embarrassed.]
Suzaku is a lot like me. When I am talking with him I often find myself wondering if you guys get as frustrated with me as I get with him...
no subject
[Waver shrugged, crossing his arms.]
If it helps, I'm not nearly as annoyed as I used to be. Maybe I just know what to expect now.
no subject
[Diarmuid shakes his head, suddenly looking almost, regretful?]
I'm sorry I was so much trouble to you. I am more aware now, but it's very hard to break those old habits. I suppose I am lucky. I don't know if it's that you just expect it now or if your patience has just grown to ungodly limits...
no subject
Did...he just ask him on a date? X.x
[Diarmuid laughs and then gestures toward the door.]
What do you think? I wasn't planning on doing a patrol so soon, but I can't help but want to go out with you. What do you say?
asdfgh diarmuid pls
[Obviously.]
I'd love to.
LOL! Shall we let these guys patrol off into the sunset before this thread gains sentience?
[He grins and winks at Waver, before leading the way toward the stairs.]
Excellent and if those old bones of yours need a break, just let me know. I'm sure I can carry you just fine.
