[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]]

...but I'm more than capable-

[He sighs, shaking his head.]

I suppose it's not important.

[He bristles just a little, not really at Nat since it's not his fault but in general.]

So am I.

[But she'd left them both behind. He can't agree that it's 'not important' but he does know there's nothing he can do about it at the moment at least.]

...she hit me for doing the exact same thing at the Christmas party.

[Okay fuck the police, Nat needs to commiserate.]

She did?

[Story, Nat. Now.]

[He tilts his head- the bruise is still reddish on his cheek.]

[Excuse him, he might be a little amused.]

What did you do to prompt such a reaction?

The same thing she's doing now.

[He sighs, glancing off toward his wall of scribblings.]

I did something dangerous and blocked her from being able to be there.
