[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]]

[Forward dated to... after Madara shenanigans.]

[Nathaniel's face flickers on the screen again. His background looks slightly familiar- as a matter of fact, he's currently in the building formerly known as the Pokehouse, formerly known as Whipstaff manor. In one of the studies, to be exact- and if you look, really pay attention to the sliver of floor that's showing on the screen, he's ripped the carpeting out. It sits piled in the corner, to be taken out later.

The young magician fiddles with his shirtcuffs for a moment, before looking up toward the screen.]


I would like to thank you all for your assistance in answering my last query. As well as offer my deepest sympathies in regards to recent events- I would have been honored to help rescue the hostages, but I was otherwise- [the ever so slightest narrowing of his eyes- it's gone in a second] -incapacitated.

But, I believe we should always be moving forward. And for this reason, I come to you, fellow citizens, with another request.

[Nathaniel folds his slender fingers together and makes perfect eye contact with the camera. In this lighting, it's painfully obvious to see him for what he is- a seventeen year old boy in a suit, strained, exhausted, but determined.]

I need to know everything about the Animus.

[After that ultimatum, he seems to relax a bit, and turns his gaze down to a few loose leaves of paper.]

There is some... information available, but not nearly enough for my purposes. I've come to understand that certain people have interacted with them, spoken at length with them- I need to know any information that such conversations might have yielded. [Another pause, and he purses his lips, still glancing over the papers.] In... particular, I have an interest in their names. Their true names. But any information would be adequate, for it probably exceeds the things I've managed to dig up about them.

[He looks like he's going to speak further- but then, Nathaniel pauses, glances away. That's enough for one day, he thinks. He should space out his diplomatic attempts.]

[Filtered to Jean Louis || Unhackable] [text]
I have finished your request several days early. Would you like to see my list at this time?
