((Continuation of Edmund’s introduction to the society!

Local Nerd

By instinct, the man took a half step back as the door opened, and as more of an afterthought than anything, quickly attempted a friendly smile - a smile, as he was told frequently by his far more boisterous companion, being a surefire way to appear approachable - as means of greeting.

"I was hoping," he began, pausing for a heartbeat'a consideration, "If it were still possible, to join?" There was an infliction in his voice that turned what was intended to be a statement into more of a question.

With an almost snakelike movement, one of the larger flowers stretched itself forward, as if with a wholly unflowerike curiosity, which Edmund brushed back with a careful tenderness, more so an instinctual response than conscious decision.))

Response:

The woman studied him for a heartbeat more, then seemed to come to a decision as she opened the door wider for the man to enter.

If she found either his smile or flowers unusual, she didn’t give any indication of it.

“I’ll get you set up, Mr....?”

Oddly enough, when he bowed his head as a show of thanks his hat remained perfectly unchanged, the occupants adorning it keeping it stable, requiring him to adjust it slightly.

A beat passed before he realised that he was being prompted for his name.

"Ah! Edmund, Miss," he began a tad faster than intended, "Edmund Laroche."

"Well then, Mr. Laroche," She said with a nod towards the interior of the Society, "Come on in and I can find you an empty room to stay in until one of the co-founder's approve of you joining--Should be sometime in the morning, after breakfast is served."

"Much appreciated," he replied, a significantly more genuine smile flickering across his face as he said this, "I shan't be a bother, I assure you." he added, a brief attempt to make himself sounds more favourable.

She flashed him a look that seemed to say 'You better not' before guiding Edmund inside, shutting the door behind them both.

"What was it that you said you studied, Laroche?" asked the woman as she begun walking into the main hall, indicating with a short gesture of her hand for him to follow.

((I promise most of the other Lodgers are more friendly than this one--She's not terribly fond of most people. ^^'))

"Well, I have it referred to as cryptobotany, though I'm not rightly sure if that is the official term, it having been referred to as such due to its similarity to-" He cut himself off when he realised he was beginning to ramble.

Following the other person, he looked about the unfamiliar area with a particular curiosity. It was, after all, mighty impressive.

(( Worry not! I love her! ))

"Hm, somewhere near the garden then," She murmured under her breath, seeming somewhat disappointed by the statement.

Despite her general aura of disinterest, the woman came to an abrupt halt a moment or so after he'd cut himself off and pivoted to fix him with a questioning look that bordered on accusing.

"Why did you stop?"

"I didn't think you would find further elaborate necessary," he explained rather lousely, "It being mostly etymological baulderdash and the like." he added, something about this seeming very much like he was quoting something he had been told in the past.

As this was said, he found himself fidgeting a little with the case he had partially forgotten he was holding.

Her gaze lingered on him a heartbeat more then she shifted her attention to the hallway ahead with a low 'Hmp'.

"Alright then, just know that we've had Lodgers kicked out for causing trouble before..." She said, her tone sharpening with an unspoken warning on her final request. "Do keep from doing anything to upset the staff."

The man raised his hands in a way that he hoped suggested the embodiment of innocence.

"I can assure you, madam, that I have no intention of upsetting anybody." he promised with genuine earnestness.

She snorted at that.

"Save your 'madam's for the day manager... Now, come along--I'd like to actually sleep sometime tonight."

The woman swiftly led the way through the Society's halls, eventually bringing them to a stop in front of one of the many doors lining the walls.

"This will be yours for now," She said with blatant disinterest, nodding to the door, "Get settled in, sleep if you wish, and in the morning, someone will find you either here or at breakfast to register you properly."

A pause, in which her gaze flickered to him.

"Is that easy enough to remember for you?"

•Share ›

Avatar

Local Nerd  Helen Jekyll • 10 months ago

"Quite." he replied, a slightly awkward smile attempting to remain, "Thank you."

Once again he bowed his head to express gratitude. The thought of sleep seemed quite appealing, having a consistent lack thereof.

"I do apologize for disturbing you." he added as pleasantry.

A shrug. "Someone had to let you in."

The woman looked over him one final time, and though she wasn't entirely satisfied, she appeared marginally less displeased than during her previous examinations.

It seemed the situation would have to do, for now.

"I'll see you around, Edmund Laroche of cryptobotany."

She turned to leave, having tended to what was necessary.

"It seems near impossible for us to not run into one another, but until then, thank you for your assistance and farewell."

The young man was quite overjoyed with how things had turned out thus far, this being swimmingly, a sparkle to his eyes.

In order to tag someone, you put @[what it says under their name on their profile page]:disqus, but without the brackets.

For example, to tag you, I put @NotAMadScientist*:disqus, but without the *, and it does this!

(( Let's hope the tag will work (I don't know how to tag) but, like, here's the aforementioned Edmund meeting the day manager with @Helen Jekyll in here before it closes or whatever))

The early morning sunlight seemed to be all the more sparkly than he was used to, which would have been lovely if it didn't imply he had far less rest than he had initially hoped to achieve. This was not as much of a rarity as it ought, however, though it was more a case of slightly jittery nerves than usual.

The chap felt it would be the right thing to do to make his presence known, cautiously peering out the door, the flower in his waistcoat amusingly mirroring the action, extending out in a snakelike manner.

Just then, a woman turned the corner at end of the hall and broke into a smile at the sight of him.

“Ah, you must be the new Lodger to be!” She commented as she approached, offering her right hand, “Mr. Edmund Laroche of cryptobotany, is it?”

The woman stood nearly half a foot shorter than he and wore a black three piece suit, accented by a green waistcoat and pocket-square. Her brown hair was quite short for a woman of the time period, only just coming past her ears in a slight wave, and her amber-brown eyes were positively glowing with friendly warmth.

There was a moment of hesitation at the sight of the other person, but a quick, polite smile quickly crossed his face as he shook her hand.

"That is correct, madam, news travels fast I suppose?" he replied, the question being largely rhetorical. He let a moment or two pass before adding, "And you are?" upon the realisation that this person knew who he was despite this being the first time they had met.

The woman laughed good-naturedly at his initial question.

“Yes, the Lodgers here tend to spread stories nearly at the speed of light,” She agreed with a nod.

“I’m Dr. Helen Jekyll, the day manager here at the Society—Hela, the Lodger you met last night, informed me of your arrival.”

“I do apologize for not being present to greet you at the door,” She added, genuine regret in her tone, “I’m afraid my shift only lasts until tea-time everyday.”

Local Nerd  Helen Jekyll • 10 months ago

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Helen," he began, repeating the name to reinforce it in his memory, the brief nod of his head resulting in his hat being hastily straightened by the flowers residing there, as per usual, "And there is no cause for apology, my arrival was at a rather ungodly hour, I must admit."

Helen Jekyll  Local Nerd • 10 months ago

“The pleasure is all mine,” returned Helen with a bright smile and a dip of her head in return, clasping her hands behind her back.

“In that case, I’m quite grateful that someone was able to let you in,” She said of his arrival before pausing for a beat.

“Have you eaten yet? I could show you to the kitchens, if you wish to have breakfast.”

Local Nerd  Helen Jekyll • 10 months ago

A more earnest smile flickered across his face in favour of the simple pleasantries that preceded it. "Agreed, it would have been most unpleasant to remain without a place to go otherwise."

"I have yet to eat," he continued, taking a moment to recall the last proper meal he had and coming up blank, "If it were no bother, if it is, I'll surely be able to manage the way." The second part of this sentence came as more of an afterthought than any.

"I'd be more than happy to assist," Helen assured him, waving for him to follow as she began to walk, "I was headed that way regardless, and pleasant company such as yours would be most welcome."

"Besides," She added with a bit of a laugh, "It's part of my job."

"This is what I do everyday: Help those who live here or visitors that happen by."

A smile as she glanced to him.

"Should you ever need anything, I'm usually around in the mornings until a few hours or so after noon... I'll be certain to show you to my office after your meeting with our co-founder, Dr. Jekyll."

"I shall bear that in mind, thank you, madam." Edmund responded with a particular level of genuineness.

As he looked about him in an attempt to memorise the path, he couldn't help but feel a tad excited. Even a simple hallway seemed practically marvellous, and, much to his delighted interest, seemingly holding a wildly different vibe to what the area had the evening prior.

"You're quite welcome," Helen returned warmly, continuing through the Society until they reached a door with a sign reading 'No (rogue) science allowed', holding it open so that he could enter.

"Here at the Society, we have a few brilliant cooks who do a wonderful job of keeping everyone well fed--The meals they serve might not be the most extravagant, but they're hot, fresh, and quite tasty."

The alluring aroma of breakfast wafted from the kitchen, seemingly in agreement to her statement.

The specification of the sign rose up several questions of a rather amusing nature, the kind of which he may entertain at a later date as surely there was a tale or two involved in its necessity.

"I hardly need anything that could be considered extravagant, so I'm certain that anything would be more than wonderful."

The smell of food made him realise that he was far hungrier than he originally anticipated.
