Written in an eloquent yet strong hand...

[sblock=A Letter to Liverman]
Addressed this November 11, 2008 to the honorable Dr. Roger Liverman
Dear Dr. Liverman,
Introductions being what they are, I shall keep mine short and brief. My name is Angelica Edwards and I had the distinct honor and privilege of working with the late Jacob Prestor and was with him on the night he died. I dare to write, owning to recent conversations with a superior of his, that you might have been as well.
Death has a peculiar way of bestowing itself on us at inopportune times. Especially, I would venture, when it knows where to look. Case in point, dear Dr. Liverman, I hope that this letter has found its way to your residence well enough. If my assistant had been unable to find your address, I would have been sure to call.
And now, please allow me to return to the point of this letter.
It is with the greatest anticipation, and expectation, that I write to you this evening to request a meeting with you at your earliest convenience. Two acquaintances and I, all, as I've said, products of Prestor's masterful research, would like to meet and discuss matters of business and inquiry with you. We look forward to meeting you ever so much. You might even say, Dr. Liverman, that we have an undying urge to present ourselves to you formally.
Please send word back with my assistant of the time and place which would be most convenient to you. Please note that we will not be available until the evening hours.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, sir. And again, should this letter not find you in a timely manner, I'm sure my companions and I will be able to.
Sincerely,
Angelica Edwards

Koln grins triumphantly as he lifts and drops Ruby to the ground. His victory is short lived however as he fails to get past Ruby's guard and she dominates from her back. Before Koln knows it he is facing her and the sky. At that moment he thinks he hears Socrates chuckle at his expense.

He didn't want to resort to ground-fighting since it would lead to rather awkward positions like this. He has seen enough mixed martial arts in his day to conclude that God looks down upon BJJ stylists. Grumbling he faces her and is frozen. She radiates a certain primal beauty that captures him, er both literally and metaphorically. He smiles up at her and gently strokes her cheek with the back of his hand in a soft pet.

Seizing the opportunity, Koln powers his legs out from under her, moving them against her chest with her left arm between them as he struggles to push her up with the power of his legs and apply an armbar. While he struggles against her better leverage, he is careful not to put too much pressure on the joint, not wanting to hurt her.

Ruby lets out an exasperated growl at Koln's sudden submission move with her arm. She was caught off guard by his gentleness and she tapped the grass in defeat. "Alright I yield.." she said, a little sad from admitting defeat. She would later sit upright once he released her.
"I guess there is much I have to learn of combat, you are quite skilled, Koln," she said looking back at him with a sly smile. She then leans her head back and looks back up at the starry sky. "At least we get to see God's beautiful blanket in the sky," she said, entranced the sky's safe beauty, unlike the sun that they would never see again.

"Um... right..." 'What the f*** does that even mean? Dog under the porch? Huh?"

"Well, as far as we're aware, yes, he's a human. I'm assuming you shouldn't have any trouble with him. But, just in case, why don't you take one of your... friends up on an offer to drive you there and escort you to the door? I'd feel better if you took someone with you." She smiled, though sad she couldn't go herself.

"Right! A young innocent girl like me should NOT be knockin' on some stranger's door by herself! I'll have someone with me." Mindy yawns and looks at her watch. "It's gettin' late, I know you folks stay up all night but we humans have to sleep! How 'bout I roll around here 'round seven? It'll be dark by then. I'll see you then, g'night!"

Mindy takes the letters and the map with her as she lets herself out of Clover's room.

Koln and Ruby gaze up at the stars together. Socrates comes up behind them and seems to look up as well, his beady eyes scanning the sky.

Koln

Socrates says in his little squeeky voice, almost singing "I can see what's happening. And you don't have a clue! I say that this is what two vampires were meant to do."

He then says in a regular tone of voice "By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher!"

"Indeed it is beautiful. And to think, it is populated with thousands of vampires, the moon is, waiting for their chance to strike. No need to fear though, I will protect you." Koln puts his arm around Ruby but winces as he does, still in some pain from their spar although he won't admit it. Next time he might not want to grapple with someone that is as strong as her.

"Shush Socrates... I am a priest."

Grr and I really wanted to have another trippy Koln daydream but I gotta get to work >,<! So, short post!

Socrates moves from behind Koln and Ruby into Ruby's lap. He starts trying to burrow into Ruby's dress like he is trying to get out of the cold.

Ruby looks down at Socrates and holds him close to her dress. She frowned knowing that her hands won't provide any warmth.
"Maybe we should head back soon," she said as she positioned herself upright again. She holds the rat up to her face and speaks him him cheerfully. I know its pretty cold, but isn't it beautiful out today? Don't worry, we will head back inside

Socrates looks up at you and says "Lots of twinklies out tonight. Your hands are cold as ice. Let's go inside, I'm freezing my tail off! Tell master to go inside too. Let's have cheese!"

[Strider_Koln]

Koln nods, getting up.. He picks up his hat and returns it to his head.

As they walk back to the dorm Koln seems to be having a small argument with his little furry friend. "What? I'm not a pervert! You're the pervert for thinking that! No, no we weren't! That was ground-fighting... yes yes I know what it looked like. Right I know, well I was merely trying to not let her get past my guard. Yes I'm aware she dominated for most of the battle. So what if she's a 'girl,' you want to fight her? Yeah, I thought not! And no, I'm not limping, I'm fine, now shush." Koln grumbles and shakes his head. He smiles at Ruby, "If you ever want a rematch, don't hesitate to ask. And I apologize for Socrates' rudeness, please excuse him. He is very wise, but loves to push my buttons. Heh... but I really did have fun tonight. It reminded me of when I was younger, of better times, when I'd spar with my teacher back home. Thank you Ruby..."


Together they arrive back at the dorm, Ruby appears unscathed whereas Koln is slightly bruised (but healing), dirty, and is walking with a slight limp. "Hello Clover, I was victorious! Ow.. er I should be fine after a good rest."

Clover was sitting on her bed, quietly reading when Ruby and Koln sauntered in. They both seemed giddier than two springtime fawns, and she frowned as Koln's muddy boots tracked all over her carpet, "Hello Clover, I was victorious! Ow.. er I should be fine after a good rest."
She shook her head, "Good rest and a bath, please. It probably wouldn't hurt for you to wash your clothes, either. I trust you two had a good romp?" The last few words escaped her mouth bitterly, but she managed a fake smile.
"Anyway, I sent a letter to Liverman. We should know by tomorrow night if we can go and meet with him. If he says no, well, I'm sure other arrangements can be made." She grinned, almost wickedly, with the thought of Liverman's pale face as he would open up the letter the next day and see that his hand in things had not gone unnoticed.
