[1] [Postmission]
[The situation was resolved. What was left of the Organization known as Scylla and Charybdis was being apprehended. Their underground base was in ruins and their ties to the Ebon Court were all but destroyed given the events in the tunnels. Not only that but they also managed to get the third key.]
[Yet despite this Calvin remains silent as he looks up at his battered Genoace. Shield cleaved, guns dented and its knife bloodied. There was clearly something bothering him as his gaze now turned to the recovered artifact. A rusted and very horrifically painful looking knife. Rather than speaking though, the air around the knife just seemed to have the faint scent of blood along with somehow making the air around it sound sharp as impossible as it was.]
Do you ever get the feeling that there's more to a story than you think you know?
[2] [Some time later]
[Calvin's out in town, with coffees in a cardboard carrying tray in hand as he walked down a row of shoplots. Somehow he didn't notice you at all as he kept moving through the area, moving to the older section of the lots and standing in front of one place in particular. From the looks of the place it was a magic shop. Not one of those places that sold stage magician tricks, but one that actually catered to people with a certain set of beliefs. Or in Calvin's case a certain level of wariness for things that people believed in.]
[He lingers at the entrance, trying to compose himself a little as he stared at the door. For a while he looked a little unsure about entering.]
[He still hasn't noticed you either. Try to get his attention?]

What kind of crazy-messed up universe has you getting a partner before me!

[He has trouble maintaining actual hats to even consider that to be an effective defense from things trying to read his mind. Side note, it might backfire and just cook his brain like a baked potato instead - a tidbit he considered when pondering effective defenses against mind reading years ago.]
Second. Fox Mulder wears sunglasses and goes with the whole man-in-black get up most of the time and got into the paranormal thing on purpose.
[Calvin sighs irritably as he just facepalms.]
Besides, considering how messed up everything already is this is what gets you?

[Calvin tactfully holds his tongue on some of the rougher aspects of her personality. Specifically just how petty she's getting over something like this.]
Besides, third time's the charm isn't it? Maybe the first two times were just something life was doing to keep you humble... in dating matters.

I guess there are a lot of problems with my lifestyle...Still, this is ridiculous...
