Shard the Gentleman

Hocus Pocus. Also, Paranorman is pretty good. It starts off silly but the end game is so satisfying.

No worries! I understand. (Side note: This is the first time I've hosted an RP that actually went on for more than one day. This is exciting and scary lol)

~James Harper~ "Eager, aren't we?" James immediately took notice of his excitedness and exhaustion. This person really needed that book! Probably a personal interest, maybe they wanted to gain self confidence? Who knew. It wasn't James' business to guess either. "Luckily, you aren't the first person to ask for a book on 'Animal People' this week. We have a few right here!" James bent over and reached under the desk, bringing out a pile of books with humans with animal features on the covers. "This one specifically is very popular." he picked up the one on the top, and put it into Varius' extended hand. "Enjoy! Sorry to rush off." James hurriedly joined Vanitas again, reading to head towards the Playhouse. 10 Minutes Until Sunset! The two arrived right on time. The players rushing around on the stage, practicing lines they seemed to have known for years now. "I Want to be Your Canary..." James noticed, recognizing the lines with ease. "Written by Lord Avon. Are you a fan?" James asked Vanitas.

~James Harper~ Company... James felt the presence of Vanitas' question would linger should he deny him. He swallowed the last of his nervousness down in an attempt to clear his head, and turned to Vanitas. "Okay. Let's pretend that everything is fine, and head to the playhouse. I don't think they're preforming today, but practice is almost always going on." James led Vanitas the remainder of the way down the stairs and onto the first floor, where someone seemed to be screaming near the information desk. James rushed over and greeted him. "Hi, yes, hello. Is there something I can help you with?" James looked over to Vanitas and held up a finger, seeming to say 'this'll just be a minute.'

TIME: LATE NOON- 1 HOUR UNTIL SUNSET ~Gumshoe (The Sheriff)~ "Alright!" Gumshoe pumped his fist a bit. "It's a little late today, so maybe another day you can stop by." Gumshoe jogged off towards somewhere unseen, but from his trail, the barber shop was going to be his stop. ~James Harper~ James listened to Vanitas' words of concern. He walked over to him, and switched books, reading what Vanitas had. "This... is getting serious. I didn't think we'd find anything like this..." James looked out the window. It seemed he was running low on time to visit the playhouse. With this new information, he was more afraid than ever. "Vanitas. I think we need to stop for today. I have to do what my entry told me- I really don't want to end up being followed like this guy..." James took the remaining three glowing books, and two with him, placing the other in Vanitas' hands. He returned the previously read novels, and started down the stairs. "I really want to get to the bottom of this, Vanitas. I don't want anyone to get hurt. I'll help you investigate, but I'll be even more careful about following the entries now more than ever."

~The Sheriff~ "Woah!" The bulky man belted, as debris fell from somewhere he didn't see. He stumbled and tripped, feeling some of the rubble entrap his hair. Pulling as hard as he could, he stood back up to see the thief's leg caught under the debris. "I really gotta get a haircut..." He noticed around him now were more people than he interacts with in a day. "I hope all this attention doesn't cause another dock in my pay... Anyway!" He walked over to the thief, and tied a rope around his hands. "You're going to the station." Stumbling and rubbing his head, he walked over to Varius, with the thief in hand. "I saw what you did. You have a lot of strength! We could use someone like you. My name is Gumshoe. Lots of people call me the Sheriff, but I'm more of a detective." He looked to the side, to a horse standing nearby and it's assumed rider. "You too as well! We don't have many horses in our ranks, and we're pretty low on staff. If you make up your mind, come to our building!" ~James Harper~ "You're amazing, ya know?" Those words resonated inside James upon hearing them- he didn't receive compliments often. He looked at Vanitas and smiled somewhat awkwardly. "Th-thanks!" James continued to listen to Vanitas, talking about his thoughts on the Journal- and James thought he was right. Why did the Journal always have an empty entry upon sleep, but was written in the next morning? How does it know what is going to make society happy? "I... never questioned the Journal before.. I always thought, 'who wouldn't want to be happy?' and followed it anyway, even when it said dumb things like 'eat one extra corn chip.'" James had recovered, and was speaking much more steadily than before. "Anyone else say anything to you?" James stopped upon seeing the glowing items glaring in front of him now. He hurriedly grabbed two, throwing one at Vanitas. "There's three more, but we will start with these. The Keepers. James began skimming through, picking out key statements and sentences. 'Avid followers of The Journal. Created by our Lord. Not human.' There wasn't a lot written on this book, which was surprising for it's size. In fact, most of the pages were empty, and the words were hastily written. The Lord...? Who would that be...? James looked to another book and picked it out.

I'm about to post Your Journal Entry for Day One is: Befriend the servant and his friend. You should find them rather easily.

Aaaa, I'll be busy tomorrow too. I'm sorry everyone D: I'll update when I can!

Accepted! I'm sorry I've been busy today guys, I'll uplate tomorrow

The sheriff slouched in relaxation after hearing the confession of innocence. "I see," he spoke, in a much more soothing voice. Sorry to have- HOLD ON! STOP!" The Sheriff belched out a loud order, pointing to behind Varius. A thief! The sheriff chased after the brigand, who had stolen what looked like an amulet from a noble woman. The chase led the sheriff around the corner, and out of sight of Varius and the other onlookers. ~James Harper~ "Diaries..?" James took a breather- he knew exactly what he was talking about. The Journal. Everyone had one- why did no one question it until today? "You mean the Journal, right?" James walked briskly from one end of the aisle to the other, peering over the both sides. He poked his eyes through the gaps in the shelves to be sure there was none in aisles close. "I'm.. an avid follower of the Journal. It's always led me to optimize my day, without fail. I'm not sure why you're researching into it, but I'm willing to help. Knowing the Journal a bit better seems like something that would benefit." James took a big breath, almost forgetting to warn Vanitas. "Don't tell anyone what you're about to see." "Locati Libri: Journal" James felt the air again, this time stumbling from it's power. Locati spells with a larger radius always hit James harder than usual. This meant what they were looking for would have to be a bit far from their current position. He felt dizzy, and stumbled back onto the bookshelf behind him. He opened his eyes, and looked around. What looked like three floors above, there were several glowing lights within- what seemed to be- feet of each other. "There. Three stories above us. Follow me." James forced himself off the counter, and began stumbling towards the stairs. It would take a bit to recover.

I've dealt with a lot of Mother Gothel type people in my real life, that's why I appreciate her in the movie. Those kind of people are real, and the movie did a good job reflecting that,

Lea. Chakrams to knock things out of trees for food, fire for cold nights and for cooking, and... well he's also cute.
