[QUOTE="Thomas Hobbes, post: 1229242, member: 8623"] John smiles at Daunte over his glasses, nodding a hello, surreptitiously placing a slip of paper in his book as a marker and sliding it into his courier-style pack. The spine quickly slipped into darkness, providing just a quick glimpse of the writing there: [i]The Black Arts[/i], Cavendish. Right between [i]Liber Kaos[/i], by Caroll, and one of Crowley’s journals. And to think, just five months ago he thought all of this was nothing more than medieval superstition and new-agers crying out for attention! John had always looked at these sorts of things logically and empirically: upon having magic being demonstrated to him, rather forcefully, he had incorporated it into his worldview. And longed to learn more. It was all so fascinating, and he [i]couldn’t wait[/i] to learn more. He could feel he was really on the cusp of something, research-wise. This Michel Galvin fellow was a fascinating study. Obviously mad and evil and all that, but fascinating nonetheless. His doctorate, of course, had been put on hold- this was much more interesting, and a degree was just a sheet of paper. It was rather hard to write about these things as just myths, anyway. Also out the window went his plan to get back in touch with his friends and family, as it had quite slipped his mind, what with the snow demon wolf thing and all. He spent his days pouring through all of the Hoffman archives he was cleared for, or the library, going through some obscure book on intra-library loan. He spent his evenings reading fiction or surfing the ‘net in a small apartment within bicycling distance of the Institute. And now, finally, they were giving them something to do. And giving them something to do meant giving them more information, which John awaites with ill-concealed excitement. [/QUOTE]
