"Fishes..." Scrap repeated, thinking that a good can of sardines would be seriously delicious right then. "Uh, maybe you shouldn't focus on Heidi. Wings are pretty overrated, right?" Scrap knew he had to keep his deal with Thomas intact. Who else would buy him the sardines he wanted so badly? "What about that Anthony kid? Doesn't he have some sort of magic? Psh, Anthony... More like Assthony. ...Actually more like Dumbassthony. I could do this all day. Anyway, what about that kid? Does he have any potential?"
"I don't see why there couldn't be," Anthony replied, smiling. "Maybe I'm one of 'em? Aw man, that'd be sweet. We could seriously take the world by storm. Anyway, if there are others like you, maybe you'll all just sorta... find each other? Isn't that how it happens in the movies?"

"he's just a wannabe mage, I don't know if he has any magical powers yet..." Felix sighed, ruffling his hair in thought "and, I have to get Heidi, specifically! I was assigned to tell her what was happening, what she was, and ask if she can help! Actually, more like convince her to help since my organization can't do it all on our own! We need the Children of the Valkryies! Of course, they send me to what is probably the most difficult case...saying as Mr. White's previous encounter with the organization wasn't exactly pleasant..."
"Perhaps..." Heidi said thoughtfully "but, who knows if there are others out there...do you think anyone can see the wings?"

"You know what you should do? Since you can't just approach her with her dad hanging around the house, you should 'bump into her' somewhere in public and ask her out on a date. Get close to her... then drop the bomb. She's been looking for a relationship lately... I can tell. I read her diary over her shoulder and she always dots her i's with hearts when she's feeling romantic." And of course all of that was a complete and total lie. The only reaction Scrap could think Heidi would have if Felix just walked up to her and asked her out was she would nail him in the balls and split, which would not only benefit Scrap's motives, but would also be super entertaining.
"I don't knoooooooow, why do you keep asking me all these questiooooooons?" Anthony whined, slumping over onto the bed lazily. "Why don't'cha ask your dad if he can see them?"

"I thought all girls did that..." Felix mumbled, confused. If there was one thing that was certainly true, it was that Felix couldn't talk to girls to save his life. Sure, he thought they were pretty, and smelled nice, and such but, he could never exactly talk to the female species properly... "but, it doesn't matter, the point is, I just need to somehow figure out how to say 'hey, you are one of the people destined to save the world!'; any ideas, Scrap?"
Heidi shook her head "no, he couldn't see them this morning, I doubt he could see them now..."

"Nope, no ideas at all," Scrap replied, getting irritated. "Maybe skulking around out here some more will help? Otherwise, you're on your own." With that, he once again jumped through the window and landed in the living room.
"This is kinda weird, huh? I mean, you wake up and have wings, and yet you don't really have any use for them," Anthony said, shrugging. "Wanna go do something? Maybe destiny will find YOU."
Scrap walked back into the bedroom, trying to stare at Heidi with eyes that said 'get me sardines' and 'don't go outside and talk to the creeper outside your window' at the same time.
OOC: And now I'm going to bed. G'night!

ooc: wanna play a member of the organization? Felix needs help, after all XP
bic: "but, I-" Felix began weakly, before being ignored by Scrap, and left to his own devices "...don't know what to do...and Mr. White scares me..." he said with a sigh "I'm pathetic...maybe I should just go for a walk..." he added, folding up his cloak, revealing his rather simple civilian wear.
"Sure, how about a walk?" Heidi asked, stretching. "I could even trying flying forward a bit" he added with a slight laugh. She then noticed Scarp "Oh, hey there, buddy. I'm gonna go out for a walk, okay?"

'Face plant!' Scrap thought eagerly. He jumped onto Heidi's shoulders, and tried to give her a look that said, "Take me with you!!" He was getting pretty damn good at giving such specific looks.
"I'm all for a walk! Studies show that destiny is eighty-five percent more likely to find you while you're on a walk than any other time," Anthony explained happily, standing up and grabbing his grimoire. "Shall we?"
At that moment, another person passed by Heidi's house. He seemed to be in his early twenties, with short, clean-cut blonde hair and a muscular body. His normally sharp blue eyes were unfocused. He had walked this stretch of sidewalk so many times he could practically point out all the cracks in the pavement with his eyes closed. Why would he even bother paying attention? He had on a backpack that looked very inconspicuous, but if anyone were to open it they would find a set of black robes that seemed much more like a Halloween costume than something a man like this one would wear. Since he didn't want the general public seeing him in that odd attire, he swapped it for some loose fitting jeans and a plain t-shirt, but he still adorned one odd accessory. A gold necklace hung from his neck, with a thick chain holding up a large, cut garnet that pressed heavily against his chest. He always made sure to wear it on the outside of shirt, never concealing the gem. Normally he would pass by a house like Heidi's without a second thought, but he knew there was someone special there at the moment. He glanced up at the house as he passed, wondering if he would catch that person's eye through the window, but instead to his great dismay he saw Felix, a fellow organization member. He hesitated for a moment, debating whether or not to approach the bumbling fool, but then he realized he had hovered for too long. Felix was sure to have noticed him by now. Sighing, he walked up to the younger man and reluctantly gave a small wave. "Hey, Felix," he greeted quietly. "It's me, Leonard. Remember me from the autumn mixer?" He searched Felix's eyes for any signs of recognition, then gave up. "Whatever. So what are you doing here? Is today the day already?"

"Leonard, Leonard, Leonard...sorry, I don't think I remember..." Felix said sadly, before straightening up slightly, and saying "and, I got assigned her to find one of the Children of the Valkryies, and, you know what? I did! The only problem is...well...it's the daughter of Thomas White..." he shuddered slightly "I tried to talk to him but...but...well, they told you about that mess, right?"
Heidi laughed "Seems that Scrap wants to come along!" she said happily, before grabbing her coat, in an attempt to hide the wings, and setting the feline on her shoulder "C'mon, Anthony, let's go to the park"

"Park time! Park time!" Anthony cheered, racing down the stairs and out the door. He burst out onto the street, then realized Heidi probably wasn't following too closely. He turned around to wait for her, then spotted someone hanging out below the bedroom window. After a moment, he recognized him. "Oh, hey bro!" He called, waving.
As soon as he saw Anthony run out the front door, Leonard unforgivingly shoved Felix into some bushes so he wouldn't be seen. "Hi," he then said simply, walking over to his 'younger brother'. "What's up?"
"Me and Heidi are going to the park to..." Anthony stopped himself before he blurt out the fact that Heidi had wings. "Well, it's a secret. What're you doing?"
"Walking," Leonard replied, already bored with the conversation. Anthony clearly still hadn't made any progress with his magic, which was both a disappointment and a tragedy.
'Who the hell is that?' Scrap wondered when he saw Leonard. 'He looks capable.' The cat nudged his head aggressively against Heidi's, to urge her to go faster.

"We're just taking a walk, Leonard, we'll be back shortly. Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on Anthony" Heidi said, ruffling Anthony's hair teasingly.
Felix, meanwhile, watched from the bushes "Oh...so they're related? Hm...maybe I can get Leonard to talk to Mr. White..." he thought, knowing full-well that he couldn't talk to the intimidating man on his own.

Leonard looked at the bulge in Heidi's coat that was so obviously hiding her wings, then shook his head. "Cool," he said, then he lightly punched Anthony's shoulder. "So that grimoire. Making progress?"
"Ah, nah, not really," Anthony replied meekly. "But I'm gonna keep trying! If you set your mind to something, you're sure to achieve it after all!" He smiled big and gave Scrap a scratch on the head.
"You're an embarrassment to the family," Leonard moaned. "Well I gotta go. Have a good walk."
Scrap eyed the man suspiciously. He had seemed cool at first, but apparently he was into this grimoire business as well. Was he crazy, or powerful? It was the same question the cat often had about Anthony.
His business with the kids done, Leonard walked around Heidi's house and waited there for Felix to come out of the bushes, even though he was probably right at home since he was such a creep.

ooc: poor Felix XD
bic: Once the two had left, Felix popped out of the bushes "You know that kid?" he asked "And, since he knows Mr. White, then, maybe you can convince Mr. White to let Heidi in on the whole thing!"

"Uh, no," Leonard replied, letting his hands slide into his pocket. "That's YOUR job. You deal with it?"
"I hadn't seen Leo in, like, a week," Anthony said, scooping Scrap off of Heidi's shoulders, much to the cats annoyance. "I was wondering when he'd pop up again."

"Leonard- can I call you 'Len'?-" Felix began "I already tried talking to him, and he threatened to kill me! I mean, it's been years since the last time the Organization had to deal with him, and I don't think he's forgotten at all..." he shook his head "but, the point is, he knows Anthony, and, if you're related to him, then Mr. White probably knows you too, and, thus, trusts you more! At the very least, could you vouch for me, please?"
"Where do you think he goes?" Heidi asked, curious. In all honesty, she sometimes forgot that Anthony had a brother in the first place; he didn't talk about him much.
