Late night magic post

[What? you think Cesare gets all the fun and dealing with trauma? Balls no.

Which is to say it's night and three completely sane assassins are sleeping.]

[yep. Totally sane.

Except for the screaming]

[sharpasafawkes]

[GOD SERIOUSLY, I DIDN'T THINK I WAS THAT LOUD-

Oh, wait, just Desmond]

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

[... Don't act so surprised.

SITS UP WITH A JERK]

Woah...

[sharpasafawkes]

[yeah there's still a bit of noise going on unlike SOMEONE who screams in their sleep, a proper gentleman just makes distressed noises]

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

[... that's a new one. Getting up and getting two glasses of water, before nudging Shaun (not so gently)]

Hey.

[sharpasafawkes]

[Yeaaaah, that's a fast start and some instinctive curling before straightening up. LA LA LA, NOTHING JUST HAPPENED.]

What is it Desmond, making a fair imitation of the cat again?

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

Funny.

[hands a glass of water to him]

You woke me up.

[bluefalconed]

[watching the screaming, unsure of when to interrupt]

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

[oh don't worry, he'll wake himself up]

... Holy shit...

[bluefalconed]

[nods]

[it goes to show you how awesome I am when I am used to this sort of thing]

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

[... honestly if not for talking to Shaun, I'd be a little concerned. May have been bred an assassin, but sure as hell didn't live like one.]

... Are you still a frat-guy?

[bluefalconed]

I am.

[eaglecocktail.livejournal.com]

... That must be one hell of a frat.

[bluefalconed]

Some of our pasts have not been so great...

[sharpasafawkes]

[Give him a bit]

[bluefalconed]

[yep, that's what I'm doing]

[sharpasafawkes]

[waking up a bit later, shaking his head]

-oh, hello. You're not still the one from the frat, are you?

[bluefalconed]

I am.

[sharpasafawkes]

Well, at least that's good to know.

*Oh, but Cesare still gets a lot of the fun. :)

Which is to say that it's a different night and he is acting his age for once staying up late and poking around on the internet.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Well, Shaun's account is active, that's something at least}

[maleborgia]

*sending him a message, then. asking if he will look at something that he found, check the sources.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[There's a long bit of radio silence, before coming back that yeah, pretty much one of them's utter shit]

[maleborgia]

*answers almost immediately, asking him if he is familiar with [rather long list of print titles]? what about these two contradictory ideas expressed in some of them? personally he thought it was rather interesting that what he understood to be a more progressive idea was written about by author x but later author y reverted firmly back to a different view point even while arguing his point off of x's work and also author z wrote the same thing, more or less as x and even included him in the bibliography in the back but did not credit him in the text, does Shaun know of some connection or rivalry between the three writers? and does shaun know what [obscure source w] is and either way help him look for it because it sounds like it would be enlightening and even if Camp leaves it in Latin he can translate it and then they can both enjoy the access.

This message borders on the manic, he's so absorbed into this work.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[....

oh ffs.

"What on earth are you doing up at this hour? I've got my reasons, but last time I'd checked you'd had avoided being maimed by camp."]
