Thread: Mark of the Chosen [Mercury and Zprimal]

The dark-haired man looked up at the girl when she seized the opportunity when there was a lull in the conversation and introduced herself. She had a charming, very charming figure, one that would easily clear the Assessment Center's screening without issue. The Centers were made to look for the best-looking females to be turned into property for sale to their demon overlords. He took her hand and shook it firmly, surprised that she actually knew who he was. The dean frowned, rightfully so, when she made the statement which could have been misinterpreted as promiscuous. Miss Price, if you would correct your statement, He laughed, attempting to diffuse the situation should Julius take it wrong. An honest mistake, His amber eyes locked with her dark hues. Though perhaps not, considering your knowledge of who I am. There was a small curve in his lips as he teased lightly before releasing her hand from his grip. He then turned to the dean to ask more about who had access to the supply room, only to have Tama interject with information of who held the keys. All three of them were in this exact room. It was an interesting thing but that narrowed down the list of potential suspects. All he needed to do now would be to call in the local law enforcement and they would handle the rest of the investigation. But that would be them capturing the perpetrator, not him. He wanted to avoid that if possible. The capture of the potential perpetrator had to have his hand in it. He took a mental note of Tama and the redhead as she turned to bid her friend goodbye. I would like to use one of the fridges for a medicine. Since there is the danger of industrial spies. The medicine is a big step in the direction of mankind and demonkind coming closer together. Let's say that this will cause a drastic shift, we may not need the Assessment Centers in a matter of years time. He leaned on the table casually, contrasting with the rather rigid posture of the dean. We have discovered a way to bypass the need for demon companion pact marks. I thought they said it was physically impossible? The balding man of a dean raised the question. That was what was wrong. It wasn't exactly physical. So I've been told. There were some things we had not tested on our side. However, it has been showing positive results and we plan to unveil it in the coming six months. Julius formed a bridge with his fingers, But to avoid industrial spies, we had to keep the sample size small to prevent leaks. Data is also strictly controlled to prevent it being copied. I have the intention of storing the master samples of the medicine here as well as the mainline research data. Only for a day as we wait for it to be shipped out of the city to a more secure location overseas. If there was anything good about this conversation, it was the fact that the two of them had little reason to doubt him. One was already displaying a degree of subserviency while the other, a student, clearly revered demonkind. There was a pregnant pause as the dean considered this. If only for a day. We don't want to be meddling too much in your politics. Of course, Julius nodded. I'm assuming this would be kept a secret? The thing about secrets was that they ceased being secrets once one spoke on it. Which was exactly what he had done. Oh the irony. The man nodded, When will it be coming in? Tomorrow then. I'll have the logistics team check at the admin office and you can show them where to put it. They will be able to handle the rest. We will have the case to be brought out tomorrow. He glanced at his watch before glancing briefly at the beauty opposite him. I think that concludes the tour. Thank you for showing me around. He turned to Tama, Miss Price... correct? You said you were the president of the coalition, I'm curious on how extensive your knowledge on demonkind is. I wouldn't mind filling you in with information you may have been lacking in- That was when Dean Peters put his foot down, I was thinking, Miss Price has her final papers due soon, and should focus on her studies. Not to imply that the Human-Demon Coalition isn't important. Of course. I think she should be able to know where her priorities are. It would be a waste if such potential is spent the wrong way. His lips curved into a sly smile as he awaited the girl's choice.
