The Stars Are Left (RP Thread)

[cuzyeahboi]

She notices this but lets him go on it. It'd be worse to try and force the answer out of him. She instead flipped through her book back to the beginning, picked it up and began to scan the table of contents for anything related without seeming as obvious as Ray had.

[Brisky]

Sarah heard Jayce's voice and started plotting a route to the city's bank in her mind.

In the quiet moments on she road, she leisurely spend some thought on the things that happened today, but she wouldn't get much comfort due to the occasionaly disturbance of other vehicles or intersections that demanded attention.

Trying to drive slowly and carefully for Jayce's comfort, it'd take a little longer for them to reach Bridgestone. But they'd get there soon...

Scanning the table of contents, you find a section labeled ‘Mythical Objects’. Inexplicably, you flip to the section. As the worn page folds, a quiet ringing fills your ears as your head begins to pound. Before you is a hand-drawn rendition of the book from your dreams. You can almost smell the awful odor you know it has.


-Sarah-
As you check your mirror periodically for traffic, you see Jayce has removed his paws from either side of his seat, as has begun lighting another cigarette. He catches your eye, gives a toothy grin, and mouths the words ‘kick it’ with a wink.

[cuzyeahboi]

She kept her hands from shaking and began to read it, looking for details on what it correlates to in reality, if it does at all.

[Brisky]

Sarah had never really spoken or interacted with Jayce too much, but with every minute that she was with him, she was starting to get more and more perplexed.

Allright, whatever... -Sarah muttered in a way that Jayce scertainly wouldn't wear over the loud noise of the bike, for some reason still tired and grumpy.

She let the bike steadily climb up to higher speeds and dropped whatever thoughts she had to afford the attention to the road, untill they reached Bridgestone.

The book reads:

~In many religions, sacred texts are often used as a way for the icon of worship to commune with their worshippers. The Tauram Nexis is no exception. This mysterious tome, first discovered in the 1400’s, was found in a cavern deep in the Middle East, by Egyptian philosopher Hermaus Ramses. Often considered the most evil written religious text, the Tauram Nexis holds within its pages descriptions of living sacrifices and arcane rituals to summon the “Old Gods”. Little else is known, as the tome is more an instruction guide than a item of worship. The tome has since been lost somewhere in the Eastern US; perhaps it is the cause of the vanished Roanoke colony?~


-Sarah-
Your drive is uneventful, and as you pull up to the bank, Jayce pats you on the shoulder. “Thanks, Sarah. I appreciate your help.”

[Brisky]

"No problem..."

Sarah flattened her ears and quietly groaned as she rubbed her face with her hands from fatigue. After staring blankly at her bike's tachometer for about a second, she suddenly shot up and turned back to Jayce.

"Umm, wait! Do you need a ride back, or something, sometime?" -She awkwardly stuttered out.

She figured that if she was going to consider working for Jayce, she might aswell try to chase after him for a little longer, maybe letting her know what to expect a little better.

[cuzyeahboi]

Slightly disturbed by this she filed away the name of the tome, Eastern US and Roanoke. That was an odd one. Especially wondering how it would have caused caused a colony to disappear. Almost made her wonder if it would cause this little town to disappear as well, could that be what this was about? She still barely even believed what was going on, the stars shifting was quite off too.

[Rayleonarde]

-Kai-
Ray looks up from his book, after noticing your distress. “Kai? Everything okay?”


-Sarah-
Jayce’s head pops around the corner, obviously impressed. It’s obvious he figured you’d leave[size=78%]. “[/size][/size]If you’re willing to hang out for a few minutes. I gotta make a withdrawal real fast.”[size=78%]

[cuzyeahboi]

She nods, "You ever think up ideas on where the Roanoke colony disappeared to?" She asks, closing the book and looking up at him.

[Brisky]

"Aight, take your time!" -Sarah called back to Jayce.

She unknowlingy flapped open her driving suit and reached inside her inner pocket as her lip on the side of her muzzle curled upwards, exposing her teeth, as if to grab for a cigarette.
As she was reaching inside the empty pocket, she suddenly noticed what she was doing, and paused in confusion...

Why did I just do that? -She thought, slightly perplexed by herself, as she blanked stared at her hand, thinking about what just happened.
Her tiredness, the sudden headache, the weird dreams, the radio signal, and now this?

She relaxed herself again, but didn't feel anywhere close to comfortable, in herself.

What in god's name is wrong with me?

[Rayleonarde]

-Kai-
Ray nods. "Yeah, actually. Just a few ideas. Something that kinda makes sense is...well...aliens? Dad always thought they found something at something didn't want them to." He shrugs defeated. "Ah well."


-Sarah-
Only a few minutes pass before Jayce stepsfrom the bank, waving at someone inside. He walks towards you, smiling. "Thanks for waiting." He looks you up and down, and reaches into his pocket. "You look like you're jonesin' for a smoke. Want one?"

[cuzyeahboi]

She laughs quietly. "I have no idea myself, maybe some mystical item teleported the entire settlement into the Bermuda triangle" She says wildly before shrugging it off, "I got nothing either."

[Brisky]

Sarah looked at Jayce, a little bit awkwardly, as he got out from the bank.

"Uh, no thanks. I best not get started..." -She replied.

"Or, atleast... I don't think I ever have..."

[Rayleonarde]

-Kai-
Ray tilts his head in thought. "Well. If you're as interested as I am, I've got a trip to Roanoke, or it's location, this weekend."


-Sarah-
Jayce smiles wide, drawing out a cigarette. "Here, doc says they're good for ya. 'Sides, these aren't any store-bought smokes. I get 'em special."
