Still leaning forward Selene looks back at Rey with a very confused look. When he says the word DEMON she began to question what he was saying mentally. A spider DEMON? Bullshit. that stuff is rarely talked about and for everything I know probably isn't even real. She chimes back in to what he was saying about halfway through his explanation. "Yeah..." She says in a tone that clearly isn't buying what he is selling. "They seemed to have stopp-" She is cut off by the slam of the door and her life training took over. Her body tensed as she gave a ferocious. "WAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Its as if she didn't move but she went from her original place to the wall opposite the door in the hall. Clung to it with a panicked look on her face. Her heart racing. If her nails could of pierces the wall they would of. The chicken flutters in the air spitting a bit of fire as his carrier vanished from the spot clearly spooked and then floated to the ground. Turning to look back at her.
DIDN'T SEE ME THERE?? GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION YOU ASSHOLE!!! I COULD OF BEEN KILLED!! She thinks staring daggers at the man. Clearly blowing the situation very out of proportion. She watches as this new person is so nonchalant about the whole situation. It irritated her that the man cared so little. As he speaks Selene can easily assume that him and Rey know each other from somewhere. He shifts his body and Selene leans to the side to get a look in to see a woman clearly older than her and what appears to be a male walking into another room. "Purple hair." She whispers to herself. An observation she will remember. Her body stays in its current position but her eyes shift to the man's as he turns and extends his hand. Judging by the voice. "You must be the detective." She says standing up straight and walking to shake his hand. She looks at Rey and back at him. "Yes I'm with this man." Everything about her person suddenly changes. Her eyes more stern. Her tone serious. Her stance straight and strong (for her size). "You can cut the polite talk Detective. Whats the situation? I've been told by Rey of what happened yesterday. Judging by your conversation a moment ago that was referring to that yes? How many were injured? Was any of it fatal? It may not be needed but I will assist in any way I can." She probes him for information.

Reymondo raises an eyebrow when he sees Selene freak out. He then watches her drop Enkidu and he panics and spits a bit of fire. Luckily it wasn't enough to try and light anything on fire but he was ready to snuff any out if the bird had tried. He couldn't help but chuckle slightly at it all. He was about to say something when he is cut off by Selene interrogating the man.
"You will have to excuse her Alexander, she isn't from around here. This is Selene. Selene, this is Alexander." As he introduces them, he moves his hand to the person that the name belongs to. He leans into the room for but a moment before he looks back at the man. "However she does bring up a good point. Why are you here with Kaavi? Does this have anything to do with what happened yesterday or did something else happen when we left?"
Rey waits for his answers. Even if he doesn't get them, he then asks "By the way, is Atsuko with you? She left our group saying she needed to speak to you and we haven't seen her since."

After Selene points out that Alexander must be the detective in question he crosses his arms in-front of his chest, smiling at her. "You have good ears." he notes, both literally and figuratively speaking. Though he seems somewhat caught off-guard by her sudden shift in personality.
"Well, it isn't a problem at all Mr. Vlerks. I wish half the people here were as thorough as this one." Although he is still smiling, there is a distinct annoyance building on his face. Reymondo then inquires about Kaavi and then Atsuko.
"Oh yeah." He drags a hand across his face and sighs audibly. "I'm not sure of her whereabouts. Security was ranting about a woman covered in tattoos who knocked out some men and tried to break a machine in one of the display rooms. Actually, that was where we initially met. Apparently she fled the scene after the failed attempt."
He pauses for a moment and then answers Reymondo's previous question; "Well, I was hoping to speak to Ser Donnadieu about the academy locking up the labs. Last I had left, Ms. Treis was investigating the creature you guys took down, but as she tells me she was moved out of the labs and refused any further entry for the time being. And actually, I seem to find myself in that same position..." Again he looks visibly annoyed and shakes his head. I'm going to have to report back to my office, but I'll be sure to contact you after I've organized everything.
About this time Kaavi briefly looks up from her paperwork. Her glasses are a little crooked and her hair seems a bit messy. Though her eyes light up a bit as she sees Alexander wrapping up conversations with Reymondo and the young Rogue. "Reymondo! Hello." she says, sounding rather tired. "Please come in, what's the news on Winters? You said you weren't able to deliver the package?"

Selene's ears twitch as the man comments on her acute sense of hearing. She herself becomes annoyed when he dodges some of her questions. Obviously he can't tell me anything, but its still annoying. She rolls her eyes. She takes note of 'Labs' being closed. Her confidence in the man wanes over how little he know, or how little he was able to get. If what happened happened then security must be lax here. Yet when it comes to covering things up it happens almost abruptly. Shady. Her eyes trail off as she ponders different scenarios. She comes back in as he takes his leave. "Please do Detective. Keep in touch."
She walks into the room once she is invited by the woman and sits in the nearest seat she can looking around the room. Taking in everything, but mostly the door the other man left in.

Reymondo nods to what Alexander says, coving up a laugh when he hears about Atsuko. "That sounds like something she would do. Let me know if you ever to find her." He listens to the rest of what Alexander says and before the man leaves, Rey speaks up. "I have an AQL now. If you ever need to get ahold of me, my number is 3356. Thank you for letting me know what you know." He then bows as the man leaves.
Rey then walks over to Kaavi and smiles at her. "You look like you have been really busy today." He then pulls his bag around and pulls out the package she wanted him to give to Winters. "You are correct. I was unable to give this to him. You see when we got there, he was attacked. The small group and I tried to stop them but they took him through some magical archway. I was able to talk to one of the people that took Winters and he told me some rather...interesting things. Before I get into what I learned. I need you to tell me what these spider demons are. I know Winters has something to do with them."
Before Kaavi explains anything, Rey walks over and shuts the door and locks it. "I am sure what you have to say should stay in this room."

Selene takes a look about the room. It's a rectangle, just a little smaller than the average class room would be. There are two couches, one of which they are currently sitting on, arranged in an L shape in the middle of the room with a low square table. There is a counter across the room with some space that has various glasses and dishes on it as well as some personal belongings. A few vases with plants in them adorn the corners and each side of the couches. To the far left of the room is a closed door - the one the other man went through priror. Aside a few generic paintings there isn't much more to see in the room.
Kaavi looks a little disappointed when Rey presents her with the box. Though her expression quickly becomes more shocked as he mentions the attack. "What in the world?" she says in shock and lets him continue. As he is finished explaining and asks his question she frowns. "I can't imagine the two being connected in any way. Winters is the man that trained me and I've never seen or heard anything of that thing before seeing it with my own eyes." she stops for a moment and then raises a hand. And continues in a more hushed tone as if she had just thought of something. "Actually... when he had the body brought in he said it was engaged and killed nearby when it tried to attack some people in the woods."

As Selene sit at the couch and observes the room she becomes ever more the curious. She scans around finding nothing of interest or out of the ordinary. She does how ever constantly get drawn back to the door the other man left through. Her mind races with ideas of who he was and why he was trying to hide the attack. She mostly figured it was for the name of the academy. Not wanting to tarnish reputation, but still going to far to hide it. Also in such a smug tone. This bothered her quite a bit. As the woman spoke to Rey Selene ignored it. As if no noise was coming from the woman at all. She focused her senses on the door. Trying to hear anything of note.
She gets up and curiously walks around the room. Looking at the paintings and what not. Slowly making her way to the door, but not give her intentions away. She leaves her bag by her spot on the couch. If she got the chance to go through she would. Sadly the bag would only slow her down. She slowly makes her way across the room eventually in passing distance of the door. (When the woman exclaims and gives Rey her focus Selene will quietly jiggle the knob. If she has the ability to go through she will attempt to.)

Reymondo listens to Kaavi. "I see. You don't seem to know anything about what he has been up to." He thinks to himself for a few moments before he speaks again. "Do you know of a way to get to the Alve's homeland, that would be most helpful. They were the ones that took Winters."
He waits for Kaavi to answer her before he speaks again. "Yesterday I had a dual with Colette and she summoned a demon." Rey then shows her his palm that has the brand on it. "I have gone through steps, I even already have a demon in a pocket relm. I just don't know how to bring it from pocket into our world. Colette told me that you would be able to help me. I don't have any money at the moment but I could pay you later."

As Selene listens towards the door she can hear some faint sounds of movement on the other side. The sound of classy quality shoes making their way back and forth on a laminated floor. The sounds stop briefly and she can hear some kind of object being moved, but past that there isn't much to be heard at that moment.
She makes her way across the room, remaining as inconspicuous as possible. And successfully so as Kaavi is far too occupied with Reymondo and looking in the opposite direction of Selene.
She tries the knob. It's locked. From inside he can hear the man calling out. "It's occupied, give a man some privacy." followed by the sound of something dropping into water.
Fortunately Kaavi didn't seem to have noticed, and instead is answering Rey's comments. "Alves? No. There aren't any Alves here. Well, aside from one of the teachers at the school but he's been studying at the Moreau Tower near global for years as far as I understand it." she frowns at the thought of them. "Alves aren't naturally from here. We don't exactly know where they are from as what few have appeared on our planet don't seem to be able to explain where they are from either. What we do know is that Alves come here through a rare phenomena known as... uhhh..." she ruffles her head a little, trying to think of the right word. "Something something shift..." she sighs "I'm sorry, I'm really no good at that particular field. But I'm sure there are some specialists here at the school who could explain the process better, if you really must know." She scratches the side of her face, being noticeably embarrassed by her lack of information.
Reymondo then inquires about the summoning of demons. "Ah, yes, that's right. I can show you how the process works. But we won't be able to do that here. There are special rooms for this kind of thing in Hall C."
About this time Selene can hear the ruffling of cloth and leather. Then some jingling of metal and finally some water being drained. After a brief moment the sound of footsteps is accompanied by the rushing of water. A little later again the footsteps begin to approach the door.

When Selene hears the man speak when she jiggles the handle. Really? She thinks. A scowl growing over her face. Her hearing picks up some of Rey's conversation because what she is currently doing has now lost her interest. Basic questions and answers. Guessing from what he went through before they met. What caught her attention was he wanted to summon a demon? Again with the myths. She shakes her head. "If those things DO exist why does he want to bring one here? Is he even thinking things through?" She whispers to herself looking at Rey. She listens back into the room. She rolls her eyes. Humans are so boring. She backs up looking at the door. Her eyes lowering slightly to the ground. Not wanting to look this person in the eyes. She clasps her hands ready to forgive whom ever was behind the door. Even if he speaks like a pompous ass. Ready...aaaaaaaand...action. (When the man comes out she will apologize in a sincere way.)

Reymondo is a bit disappointed when Kaavi tells him that she can't really help him in finding Winters, however it is quickly stomped out when she says that she is willing to teach him. His face lights out with pure delight as he begins thinking about how all of his hard work is about to pay off. He clears his throat, in a attempted to hide some of his excitement.
"If you don't mind me being a bit nosey, what was so special about the quartz crystal that you wanted me to give Winters? Do you think it's something he really needs or that the Alves that took him will come looking for as well?" He waits for her to answer his question before he asks another. "Would you be able to tell me where this Moreau Tower is? I do not know this schools layout yet." He chuckles while scratching the back of his head.
Unable to bare with the excitement for much longer, he waits for Kaavi to finish talking before he speaks, this time letting his joy fill his voice a bit. "If it isn't too much trouble, would you be able to show me now. If not right this very moment, I could always come back at a later time!"
While all of this is happening, Enkidu has been walking all over the room trying to find something to nibble on. He soon makes his way over to Selene again and looks up at her and clucks. If she looks at him or not, he will gently peck her foot then peck the floor in front of him. This is his way of begging for food.

"Actually" Kaavi answers Reymondo "This Quartz Crystal is part of his most recent research. He asked me to deliver it to him once it was finished. I'm not a hundred percent sure what it's about but from our research on Quartz crystals we've found out that they can transmit information between one another. Aura Quartz is the most potent in this regard, and this, I suppose, is some kind of amplifier if I were to guess."
She cocks her head at the box, thinking for a moment, and then answers his other question. "Oh- No no, the Moreau Tower is up in Global. It's a place of study, sort of like here. In fact this academy was inspired by the Tower and built by the very same family that finances the tower--"
Although just as she finsishes, Selene suddenly draws the attention of everyone in the room by apologizing. The same man from earlier has stepped out of what turned out to be a washroom. He stops on his way out and stares at her. He doesn't seem particularly pleased, or surprised, or anything at all. He just stares at her before looking across the room to Kaavi and Reymondo without moving his head. He then adjusts his tie and moves past Selene without acknowledging her. He makes his way to the other side of the room and picks up a drink of sorts. "It sounds like you have work to do, Miss Treis" he finally says, again in that smug tone.

Selene's head is bowed as she frantically apologizes. She feels his visual judgment, but it doesn't effect her. She keeps her head down. Letting her hair fall in front of her face hiding her eyes. They are point up as far as they can. Glaring at him and remaining hidden. She goes off the basic assumption that this man can't do much in the ways of self defense. She begins to think of different ways to take him down. Not out of anger, but as a safety measure. 'Have a plan to kill everyone you meet' she was taught. She shakes her head. No no no. Stop. Don't think like that. She thinks to herself. She peaks into the room to see it was a basic wash room. She frowns in disappointment.
She walks back over to her bag. Listening to the man speak in his tone annoyed her. Very much so. She never liked those who though they were better than others. She grabs her bag and sits down placing her bag on her lap. She avoids eye contact with the man.

"I see." Reymondo says as he rubs his chin thinking. "I guess it wouldn't be useful in finding Winters I gu-"
Rey is cut off when the man walks out of the other room, ignoring Selene and walking over to his drink. He then feels his blood rush when he hears the man speak. He grits his teeth for a moment but quickly smiles as he walks over to the man. "I'm not sure who you are however seeing how nicely you are dressed, it is easy guess you have some money behind you. Surely someone in your life taught you how to show respect to people, especially to a lady. If not, then you should know how to pretend to. Show some class."
Rey sniffs at him and moves back to Kaavi. "The nerve of that guy. I'm sure you are old enough to know when to get back to work." He says loud enough to be heard by the mystery man. "As I was saying, I don't think having an amplifier aid in getting Winters." Rey thinks again about what Kaavi said. "Would you be able to tell me which family funded that tower and this school? Hopefully they will be able to help me."

Kaavi glances at the purple haired man with a good bit of annoyance. Clearly she has the same disposition towards him that Alexander displayed previously. She can't help but smirk as Reymondo puts the man in his place. But the man in turn seems to have no reaction to his words. "Well...uh..." Kaavi replies to his question. She seems somewhat dumbfounded of the question in itself. "Naturally the Moreau Family financed both places."
The purple haired man suddenly chimes in. "Last I checked. This room was for staff members only. I suggest you and your friends leave before I call security." again with the smug tone. And Kaavi doesn't seem to pleased about it either. She swears under her breath and sighs. "I guess we better leave... sorry." she apologizes to Reymondo and Selene before getting up and making her way to the exit to wait for the two. When she gets there she glares daggers at the real pain in the rear of a man drinking from his mug with no expression what so ever.
