( It's not like he knew what he was doing, always hanging around the Society and peeking through windows to catch glimpses of the work done within. He'd seen crazy things - monsters, walls that changed at every available moment, and one time there was a rather loud gunshot sound - there, and it amazed him.

One day someone left the door ajar, however, and, with a gaze glowing with curiosity and excitement, he sticks his head in the doorway, himself following after. And, of course, he didn't realize how rude and probably illegal it was. )

Hello? Anyone in here?

( His attention is quickly captured by the Leviathan overhead. ) Ooooo...

( Internal Dialogue time! )

( From the window, a girl watches.

Hate was an action she vowed never to follow through and yet...and yet she felt it when she listened to the exchange just outside.

A boy just as small, just as weak and scared as she being bullied by an old hag, face already distorted with the years of hatred due to catch up with her...sooner rather than later, from the looks of it.

"That's not very nice."

"You know it's true. Look at how ugly those frown lines make her. The witch deserves a cursed face."

"You DON'T know her. She is certainly acting the bully, but that gives you no right to insult her so. Apologize."

"For the truth?"

"Apologize."

"Fine. I take it back"

Outside, Arthur can see the young lady watching him. Her body is stiffer than is necessary, fists clenched at her sides. Her face, however, is painted with remorse and a tender sympathy.

"I wish I could help you" )

Dr. Weir had been up all night, busy first with Nex, then preparing the day's offerings at the bakery where he now worked, then going over timeline projections with Harry till his brain had practically frozen over. He hadn't eaten in hours and his back was killing him, but at least he'd get there in time. He still had on the blue waistcoat he'd set out in the previous night.

He climbed up the steps to the Society's door rather stiffly; he'd had to allow extra time to account for it.

"You," he said upon reaching the top, then yawned involuntary. "Person with inky fingers...please don't go in just yet," he requested with a polite and bleary desperation.

"No, no, not at all," Lewis reassured him. "I'm simply looking out for your safety. There's a hot-tempered werecat in the main hall at the moment, and I don't wish you to get injured or scared off. Whereas if you'll wait a minute or two, she'll grow bored and leave, and other lodgers will welcome you with open arms. I'm Lewis Weir, by the way," he said, extending his hand, "and I'm terribly sorry about my manner of addressing you earlier; I just don't know your name and had to get your attention before it was too late."

( There was a moment of silence before Arthur responded, and as he held Lewis' gaze, he could feel his own guards heighten around this man. He could feel the underlying exhaustion, among other things, that Lewis was enduring currently, but what else was there? Something about Lewis' bearing, however small, had tipped him off. For all Arthur's shortcomings, few people could get an act past him.

Bella had always said he had a gift in who to place his faith in, and here it was, playing out. To Lewis, it would seem that, for what he could possibly read off of Arthur, the other could reciprocate. The stare he'd fixed on Lewis was arresting, calculatory, contrary to each and every other behavior he displayed.

Arthur smiled, gently shaking the man's hand. ) Arthur! Thanks for lookin' out for me.

"You are most welcome," he returned, his handshake a genial one. He chuckled. "I confess I don't know quite what to make of you just yet, but an acquaintance of mine insists you're important to the timeline of this place, so here I am." At the very least, this "Arthur" seemed perceptive. That was a rare treat. He relaxed a bit, looking a little less strained, though no less exhausted. It was not unlike the feeling of doffing one's shoes after a hard day at work.

He took out his pocket watch. Two minutes and...seventeen seconds more, and they'd be in the clear. Although he hoped to help Nex come to terms with the reality of her situation (if she'd only let him!), he wasn't about to stand for any more collateral damage, which was what Harry'd predicted might happen if she was the first lodger this new arrival encountered.

"You look as if you have questions, Arthur," he acknowledged. "Would it ease your mind to ask them of me?"

What Arthur would perceive of Weir:

Simultaneously calculating and friendly, neither mannerism an act. Totally genuine, yet holding something back. (A part of himself? Or merely pertinent information?) Cautious yet daring; subtle in his directness. A living, breathing contradiction that nonetheless stayed true to itself. Trustworthy? A feeling that, yes, under the right circumstances, a man couldn't have a more loyal friend than he. Under the wrong ones...relentless danger. Which were these? It remained to be seen. Judging from the look in his eye, this was a neutral to somewhat favorable truce, a probationary period, with good fellow-feeling unless or until Arthur hurt someone here. A feeling Weir longed to "play nice", yet out of prudence had to keep an eye out for potential danger.

( It had been one of Bella's wiser words: 'Never trust the man who casts a look over his shoulder. Destruction is sure to fall into step behind him.' Of course, Arthur had always attributed it to her adulterous husband, but now... As fervently as he wanted to place faith in Lewis already, even his easy-trusting nature wouldn't allow it. Not this man, not here.

There wasn't much to gain from Arthur: he was as blank as he described himself, eyes wide and twinkling with merriment. There was no past to read from him; he didn't have one. Arthur himself didn't know that he had been assuming anything about Lewis. He didn't know better, and it didn't do any favors for him in trusting his perceptions.

He relaxes, the previous warmth of his tone returning. ) Oh, well.. Um, I s'pose. What exactly is this.. place?

"The Society for Arcane Sciences," answered Lewis. "A pet project of Dr. Henry Jekyll's. All manner of 'rogue science', as he calls it, can be found here. It's a relatively controlled environment in which to study the more esoteric branches of the ever-growing tree of knowledge." He seemed proud of the place himself.

"My personal area of study is transcendental metaphysics, with an emphasis on the soul and its permutations." A yawn threatened to overtake him, but he stifled it. "In addition, I assist Dr. Lanyon--the other co-founder--with damage control, for lack of a better term." He honestly couldn't think of one at the moment. It was a struggle just to remain standing, so he leaned against one of the columns, the knuckles of one hand against the small of his back. If he could only get it to crack, it would relieve some of the pain...but there was too much tension in it for that. "What do you seek to do?" he returned.

( Now offered the question, it begged a proper answer: what exactly was he doing here? What was his goal?

It was agiven that he couldn't recall that, either. ) W-well, I dunno...I'm not the sciencey type, but the door was open, and - ( Try as he might, he couldn't seem to quiet himself enough to explain, and so the nervous rambling kept coming. ) - and half the time, I can't even remember I stick around here! If I could, that'd be great, because I probably did have a goal, right? And then I realized that trespassing might be illegal, but I can't really remember, because -- ( When he breaks to take a breath, his words set in, and he quiets a considerable amount. ) ...Anyway, I don't do science.

"Memory troubles?" echoed Lewis. "Hm.... You may just be in luck. We've an excellent psychologist on staff; perhaps he might be able to help you." A pause, as he considered the other matter. "You know..." he said, grin morphing to a conspiratorial smirk as he raised his brows, "if someone leaves the door open, it doesn't legally qualify as trespassing." He checked the time. Sixteen seconds to go. "Anyone who'd try to attack you wouldn't have a leg to stand on before a judge...not that that will even be an issue in, oh, about three seconds." He checked his watch one last time. "And there we are," he declared. He exhaled softly in relief, the last dribs of adrenaline draining away. He looked as tired as he felt. "Feel free," he said with a weary smile and a nod from Arthur to the door.

Weir followed, and settled himself into a chair with a tired smile. "Leviathan," he said...and promptly fell into a comfortable doze.

( A solid week of illness. A solid week of pounding headaches and runny eyes, an unusable nose, and a sore on the corner of her mouth that had resigned itself to forming a conveniently visible scar on the tissue connecting it to her cheek. Wonderful. Her voice had not recovered as quickly.

"It never does"

She thought mournfully.

"If this is any indication of what your singing will be like, you're in great trouble"

It was true, but for now she was grateful to be out of the bedroom, cognoscente and...for once..fine.

Her thoughts are interrupted when she notices the front door ajar. Her heart skips a panicked beat when she notices someone behind it.

An intruder.

A boy.

"Are they creepy? Should we go fetch Jasper?"

Her mind relaxes as she pictures the orange warrior. A new feeling washes over her, however.

"What if he's not a creep? What if he's like me? She'll skin him alive for breaching our security either way. I'm going to go say hi."

"ARE YOU INSANE? Fine fine. Don't come crying to me if he has his way with you."

A few minutes later, Arthur's excited face is met with a smaller one. Her eyes, although curious and kind, are cautious and filled with a skepticism. She slowly echoes his question. )

( The man lets out a yelp, primarily due to his surprise. This is promptly shadowed by awe. ) How'd you get down there?

* She offered a dust and grease covered hand (and trust me you do not want to see the other)* "The name's Niamh and you are?"

(heeeeeyy I forgot to mention but Niamh is a burn victim too, I don't have a picture right now but I think I left 2 in the Sing conversation thing [if you wanted to know what this vvv as about] :})

* A flash of a pain streaked across Niamh's half charred face when she saw his hands*

* Instead of commenting she plastered on another smile* "MIND THE FALL" *and with that she dragged Arthur down into the depths giggling all the way down*

That's interesting! Arthur's fingers aren't burnt, and they feel as they normally would, but they just sort of... fade to black.

( He, too, giggles on the way down, but it's far more nervous. ) Where are we going?

"toooooOOOOOoooooooo MY HUMBLE ABODE" *she called after him, until the both of them ... were still surrounded by dark; echo-y, large you can assume but completely pitch black, even unable to see your own hands*
