[GP] Check-In Day: Tol and Smols
Caroline's see you around had turned out to be more like I won't see you if I can help it, and Sam had more or less accepted that was how it had to be for the time being. That didn't mean he wouldn't try to be around when he knew she would, just to say hi. Which meant that being around on Check-In Days was just plain smart.
Today, he happened to be reading a history of Asphodel Station, trying to understand this place that they'd found themselves connected to. So, if Caroline had come through, he actually hadn't seen her. He did see Regina when she came through to get her usual chicken Caesar salad, mostly because she stopped beside him and looked down at the book he was reading.
"That doesn't have an enchantment on it," she said, in a way he assumed was a question about its provenance. The implication there was that if it was from the library, it would have one of Illyana's enchantments on it.
"No," Sam answered her. "It's from the station. A history."
Regina frowned and crossed her arms. "How are you reading it?"
Sam shrugged. "I don't know. Psychic paper or something? It seems to be English."
Her gaze scoured the page and lit on the header which read, The Field of Flowers: Volume 1, Asphodel. "When you're done with it--"
"Yeah, I'll leave it in your office."
She nodded, walked off, and then turned back to offer, "Thank you," and continued on her way.
Sam shrugged. If she wanted to tangle with Illyana over the proper procedures for new books, he wasn't going to get in the middle of it. He was just an acquisition agent, nothing more. And today he wasn't even that. He was just a guy reading a book, waiting to see if anyone new showed up today.

Re: Scanlan's Arrival
"Alright. I can do that." Scanlan paused. "Should I change, first?" Said the Gnome covered in blood and dirt.
He really wished he could cast seeming.
Re: Scanlan's Arrival
He thought about it a beat and then added, "Sora might have something that fit."
Re: Scanlan's Arrival
This seemed overly complicated and whoever Sora was, he had a feeling he was not a halfing or viking and so, no. Nope. No children clothes please.
"You know what. Nevermind. This gives me an idea anyways." His shoulders straightened a bit, game-face on. "Let's go help your girlfriend."
