"Like the other tall guy?" James suggested. That one had stuck in his head since he saw him.

"Yeah, like him; there was also a girl on the train that seemed a little off," Sariel said, sounding just as distracted as when he had spoken a few minutes earlier. "Is it possible that they don't know?"

"Possibly," James said thoughtfully, "I'm not one of them so I wouldn't know. Also Sariel are you doing okay?"

It would be odd if they didn't know, but I guess something like that is hard to figure out unless they can shapeshift. Straightening up in his seat, Sariel nodded. "Yeah! A lot has happened today, that's it." He said, looking away from the clock on the wall. Since he had pulled his feet onto the chair, the leaves and vines had managed to climb up the furniture that he was on. "With the train, and then meeting you and..finding tiny people trying to steal my silverware."

James nodded and watched him cautiously, "I understand. I should probably head home soon, your little fairy problem has been taken care of, and I feel like I've overstayed my welcome," James stood up from his chair smiling down at Sariel, "I'll see you soon?"

"Yeah, soon," Sariel said, smiling back and having to look up, thanks to the almost two-foot difference since James had stood up.

James gave Sariel a wave before heading out. he took a deep breath before beginning the long walk back to his apartment. He needed to do some research on both the four and a refresher on most magical creatures.

After James had left, Sariel stood up and pried the jumble of leaves and stems off of his legs and the chair that he had been sitting in. I can't sit down or stand too long without this happening, he thought looking down at the pile that was on the floor. I'll deal with that later. After closely inspecting the rooms that he hadn't searched for fairies, Sariel walked back into the living room to see that his TV had been on the entire time, still muted. Car crashes and robberies were being reported and advertised across the bottom of the screen. I guess they are real; this is more than usual.

Sophia moved out of the way quickly as he looked at her. But she was unsure if she had moved fast enough to avoid his gaze.

Thatcher thought he saw something. A flicker of movement. He frowned and stepped back towards the window.

Sophia crouched down. Someone would have to get out and try to find her to be able to see her.

Thatcher pulled the window open and looked out. He hesitated before climbing onto the fire escape ladder.

Sophia swore, spewing a steady stream of potent four letter words under her breath.

Bump bump))

Thatcher began to climb down the ladder. While this was dangerous, and he knew he could break something if he fell, he wouldn’t die from his wounds.

Sophia stood just a little ways apart. If he looked for her she would be found.

Thatcher eventually dropped down onto the concrete, landing in a crouch as to not hurt his legs. He looked around, eyes squinting.

Sophia walked out to him. "Hello f*****r."

Buuuummmppp))

I really wanna try and get this rp going again, but a timeskip wouldn't work because you're doing something with Desvelarse. I might open some spots up again for the people who haven't said anything in the past few pages. ))

I might just close off the spots of the people who haven't been saying anything because opening this up to new people would be kind of hard at this point. But for the four of us who are still in this, something I've done before is timeskips for specific people if those rping are separated enough. We could possibly do that…? To the next day, maybe.))

Okay, I'll have something about that up in a few minutes, then.))

In the few hours that had Sariel had managed to stay awake after James left, he stayed on his couch watching the news and pushing away the plants that had made their way onto the furniture. Eventually, his phone started ringing, waking him up and causing Bamboo to sprint out of the room. Glaring down at his side, Sariel turned the alarm off and cleared away the leaves and stems that were covering him and the floor around the couch.
After around twenty minutes of running back and forth, looking for his work uniform that had been grown over, -which was nothing other than a white shirt with black pants and an apron labeled with a clay pot- Sariel shut the front door behind him and started walking toward the subway. While walking through a crowd of people, he added a note in his phone: Buy fencing.

James had stayed up late diving back into the world he swore he would leave behind. He yawned when his alarm went off, he was going to be late… Again. Which meant the subway… Again. He really hoped this wasn't going to become a habit of his. He quick got dressed, and ran down to the subway. He yawned as he got on to the subway and spotted Sariel. He gave him a small wave.

Pocketing his phone, Sariel stepped onto the train and almost immediately noticed that James was there again. Waving back, he waited a few seconds before moving around the few people that were standing in his way. "So are you late a lot, or is your job far away?" He asked, sitting down on one of the benches that were bolted to the wall of the train. Surprisingly, it didn't seem to be as crowded as the day before.

James sighed as he sat down next to him. He rubbed at his eyes trying to remove whatever was left of sleep from them, "Both. Normally I get up earlier enough that I can walk there, but this is the second day in a row I haven't gotten up at the right time."
