Thirteenth Summoning [Accidental Video] || Overworked and Underpaid

[knew_anyway]

[The feed clicks on to show Nat in his study- but unlike his public addresses, he's not sitting calmly at his desk, or even looking at the camera. Instead, he has his back to the device, reaching up to get a book from his top shelf.

His study is nothing short of painfully organized chaos. Stacks of books and loose papers seem to reach the ceiling. His walls are covered with chalk marks, very few of which are English. He has Japanese characters, foreign words, and even a hieroglyph or two- and of course, lots and lots of Latin interspersed, with dark, angry lines connecting words together or crossing sentences out entirely.

It looks very much like he's lost it, especially as he opens the book he'd just gotten, turning slightly so his face is profile to the camera. He hasn't slept in days, his hair is messy from the times he's ran his fingers through it, his shirt is untucked, tie loosened.

With a negative mutter, Nathaniel snaps the book shut and turns to cross out another line of foreign writing, letting the book drop to the floor by his feet in frustration.

He continues working tirelessly, unaware that he'd being recorded, until the feed shuts off.]



[[ooc: SOOOO to anyone who can speak a foreign language, the words he has written are all regarding names- names of deities in that language's culture mostly, but also little scrawls on statistics and probabilities and things relating to alternate worlds, dimension hopping, and Other Places.

I am JUST returning from being internetless as well, so all of Nat's, Rome's, and Regulus' tags will be done shortly <3 <3]]

video;

Your insanity is showing. Just so you know.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Permavideo

Hn.

[Glancing toward the camera with distaste.]

I'm working. It's hardly the same.

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

Go to bed before I knock you out.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

There's no time for that.

[imakefootnotes.livejournal.com]

There is always time to knock you out. In fact, I'll go out of my way to do it.

[Video]

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

What are you doing?

[Castiel can read all of that, and it's relevant to his interests.]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

-studying.

[IS THE SHORT AND SWEET ANSWER]

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

Studying what?

[Just because that's the kind of answer Castiel would give doesn't mean he lets other people get away with it. 8|]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Private | Unhackable from here on

Names.

[Running his fingers back through his hair, almost breathless.]

We've spoken about it before. I've made a breakthrough.

[wingsandwill.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[What sort of breakthrough?]

And your notes pertain to world travel as well.

[Video // Private // Unhackable] THE 30TH AND STUFF

[flameandpassion]

[She looks exhausted, but exhilarated. Sorry for the whole vanishing for three days thing but the information will be totally worth it, right?]

Nathaniel.

If you're sleeping, get up.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

I'm not sleeping.

[BUT HE'S >:( AT YOU SO THERE.]

[flameandpassion]

[SHE WAS SWORN TO SECRECY D8 But the tiny flash of excitement kind of fades into a sigh.]

-- you probably should be.

[Cas is already giving her the silent treatment. 8|]

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Are you going to come 'round with Bartimaeus and knock me out?

[CAS will tell him before this thread takes place TOLD HIM EVERYTHING, BRO.]

[flameandpassion]

[WHY ARE YOU TWO GETTING ALONG SERIOUSLY]

I could if you wanted.

I hear Bartimaeus hits like a guy, so you might need someone who knows what they're doing.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[Video // Private // Unhackable] The 30th too because... well you know why, you talked with Cas and Rei.

Making progress? In between naps, I mean.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

One could say that.

[Inching progress, but it's better than none.]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear it.

We did make some too, as you might have already been told.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[He's busy sulking at Rei okay.]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

...yeah.

Are you being ironic because you're mad at me or have you truly not been told about the results of our exploration yet?

[Empathy does not work so well over PCDs and she can tell you're upset, though she's not sure if it's with her or not.]

[taijiya]

[video]

[Having caught a glimpse of a name or two of a kami she recognizes, Sango frowns.]

Exactly what is all that?

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

...research.

[He barely glances at the screen.]

[taijiya]

For?

[bunny_flower]

What are you doing, Mandrake-san?

[ff_red_turk]

[He's watching you, John.]
