Snow Ariana That's it, the next project will be a security system that bypasses
darkness, fire, water, and the power of friendship... Snow Ariana was many things: calculating, brooding, a bit anti-social at times. She was most definitely a logical person, which comes with the territory of being a scientist. However, there was one thing that she knew she wasn't.
Patient.
'Patience is a virtue,' was what her parents used to drill into her core. However, no matter how many times she sat in the corner of the living room, punished for being short tempered and intolerant to waiting, it never clicked.
It was no different this time as she built her latest device. "Fucking shit," she cursed as she kept typing out commands on the computer screen. Each line of code began to concatenate perfectly, which salvaged a sigh from her. Then, an obstacle was found. She'd forgotten some variable, or miscalculated.
Looking to the piece of machinery next to her, an automaton prototype she'd been building for the Speran Military, she watched its incredibly disjointed actions. Spinning its arm in a small twenty degree angle, it stopped completely. "Fuck!!" her yell reverberated throughout the mansion's bottom floor.
Hopefully, she wouldn't disturb the librarian roommate who was only a window away from her. Somehow, she knew it was inevitable.

Afternoon I've never heard that much noise coming from a place of thought and concentration. Oh the library, the place of solitude, the place in which my thoughts can come together. My work is here, I can drown out the memory, I can try to, but it will never leave. My writing is something that I hold onto with a tight grip, being Sperans most prized author, I am expected to dish out 5 star dishes. I sit at my desk in the middle of my entire library, my paper, pens, books, glasses on and my computer. I tirelessly work at my work, it must be perfect, it must be great. I fill my self with knowledge so that-- "Fuck!!" I heard Snow yell from her lab just out of the window and down a slope. "Ahh," I sighed as I lowered my glasses from my eyes and then put them back up. "Well, it looks like Snow has run into a problem." I said to myself, I talked to myself quite often. I get up my desk, put my suit jacket on and walk down to her lab. "Snow, I would deeply appreciate it if you would not yell such profain things while you and I work." I said to her as I walked in. |

Snow Ariana That's it, the next project will be a security system that bypasses
darkness, fire, water, and the power of friendship... Of all of the things that could happen...
Once Erebus had descended into her lab - via a stairwell that interconnected the two - he would come upon the woman in her worst moods. A scientist at work was a creature to be reckoned with, plagued by the vices of anger, impatience, and overall vulgarity. "I swear, this shit will give me an ulcer," she said, rubbing her temples.
Finally, she turned to the male standing within her lab. "Erebus, you know the rules; I don't disturb you unless I need something when you work, you don't disturb me unless you need something when I work," she said, looking back to her work. "If you're here to ask me to quiet down, that breaches our agreement."
Indeed, Snow was housing the male, helping him from being found out by the law. With her various hacking and cloaking skills, she effectively kept his identity and activity from being discovered. Highly illegal, but all for the greater good. Besides, she was being paid for it; which was always a plus.
Deep within her mansions, he'd taken the library and made it his home. He was a known author, apparently; Snow's guilty pleasure was to read some of his works. However, it did not stop him from venturing into what she called 'her territory'. Amazing how it had all started at least three years ago, with the two of them as inseparable as brother and sister.
"Since you're here, make yourself useful and hand me that power drive," she pointed to the glowing, cylindrical object sitting upon the far desk. She'd gone back to typing in commands, picking up the phone. "I need to contact Selene, so stay quiet." |

Afternoon I cannot sit idly by.
I had fixed my suit jacket onto my body and fixed my tie as I approached the entrance to Snow's lab. It was a warm welcome of vulgarity as I strolled in, "I swear, this shit will give me an ulcer," I heard Snow say as she rubbed her temples, she'd been working very hard. She turned to me, she was being quite moody today, "Erebus, you know the rules; I don't disturb you unless I need something when you work, you don't disturb me unless you need something when I work," she turned from me "If you're here to ask me to quiet down, that breaches our agreement."
I thought to myself for a brief moment, it would break the terms of agreement. "If breaking ours terms means me not checking up on you when it seems as if you are having a break down, then so be it." I crossed my arms and stared at her and her work. Snow was indeed housing me, I maybe an author but I am also a vigilante, I fight for what is right here in Spera. My old friend Nyx does the same, but we work on different parts of the land, making sure thing stay just.
Me and Snow stayed within the bowels of her estate, beneath the stone and rock, crumbling and rumbling, the rumbling was mainly Snow. Half was for Snow and half was for my library, Snow did know that what she was doing was highly illegal, but we were, "brother and sister", if you would. She worked for the government so that made what she was doing all the more difficult.
"Since you're here, make yourself useful and hand me that power drive," Snow said to me as she pointed towards the object. I summoned some dark magic, a little pan to go underneath the object and float towards her. "I need to contact Selene, so stay quiet." She said once again, but with a quick flash of the lights, I was already back within my confines and was visible through the window from her lab to my library. |

(Sorry for the late reply, Nyx. You know how finals go [you were next to me doing them, after all].) Snow Ariana That's it, the next project will be a security system that bypasses
darkness, fire, water, and the power of friendship... It had been a fairly straightforward phone call. Explaining the recent failure of the automaton was the first - albeit hardest - part of the entire process. On her pride as a scientist, Snow's chest was reeling after careful deliberation - she'd found what she was looking for.
It was so simple. She'd forgotten the gyroscopic variable, a very common and amateurish mistake on her part. Unbelievable that the programming software for the robot was missing something as important as the means to turn on an axis. It was a damned good thing that Selene accepted nothing less than perfection from her workers.
"Maybe I should apologize to Erebus," the thought had come completely out of left-field. In retrospect, the brunette male was only trying to help her out - much like the friend she'd considered him to be. She would get him some ale later, for sure.

Afternoon Could I have been in the wrong?
Back in my library, I was in complete thought. Thinking of what could be the matter with Snow. Could she have messed up her project? Could Selene be upset with her? What ever it was, Snow was acting very differently, unlike herself in every sense of the word. Maybe I shouldn't have went down there to see her, maybe it was best for us to stay in our separate chambers.
I sat down in my chair at my desk. I was situated right in the middle of my library with books and book shelves stacked all around me. Maybe it can help me forget, or help me erase. What ever the case, I should get back to my work on my next book. I need to monitor the city for any activity, it is best for me to do my work. Maybe, it is best to be in solitude. |
