Don't forget, they made another new hero named Screentime. A meme loving superhero who got his powers from exposure to internet gas. He has the ability to basically be a smart phone.

Sometimes I open up a new tab on my browser and I forget what I intended to do with it... What am I doing here again?

"You're probably right," Kath said with a sigh. She quite enjoyed the exhilaration that came with discovering something new and that included trying to translate a newly discovered language, but it was about time they made their departure. Though she couldn't help but feel a bit more nervous about their stalker. She was confident that part of why whoever they were didn't attack was because of the crowds of people. Leaving the town to head back up the mountain on their own could potentially be the opportunity their stalker was waiting for to strike. Still, she sensed they were about as powerful as herself and she wasn't alone. If it came down to combat, she was sure Ashara and could edge out a victory. If not, one could return to the Chateau for reinforcements.
After her traveling companion had received her gift from Corona, Kath would follow Ashara up the mountain, again taking notes on any newly appeared flora and fauna that their new path up the mountain discovered. Fortunately, their stalker did not seem to follow or attack, causing the dragonoid to skip merrily as they arrived at the Chateau. The journey was quite nice now that she thought back to it, however she still missed her library and couldn't wait to add two new books to its collection.
Then, tragedy would strike.
"My books... gone... taken... missing... books taken," Kath would whisper to herself as Rodias' words sunk in. Anyone that looked at her usually composed face would see her eye twitching, giving her usual smile a more sinister appearance. Then it stopped. Like something had snapped and she suddenly returned to her usual demeanor. "Excuse me for a moment. I need some time to myself," she said, performing a curtsy before retreating further into the The Athenaeum of Historia, most likely the mysterious forbidden section that still remained lock to all but herself.
Once it's great vault door would shut, the screaming would begin. Judging by how the whole of Chateau Gothika would begin to rumble as well, it was safe to assume she had also transformed into her dragon form. Anything not nailed down ran the risk of falling off its perch and even the village at the bottom of the mountain would feel quake, albeit much diminished. At best they would notice doors that were open begin to close shut on their own. The screams would also echo through the Chateau's halls, a sound more chilling than any an experienced torturer could coax out of their victim.
Eventually, Kath's meltdown would subside, returning to her human form and to Rodias and Ashara. She would greet the two of them with a curtsy before apologizing. "Sorry about that, I just needed a moment to calm down. You said it was the mimics of Enderal that had taken them, correct?" she asked, planning on paying Chuunitrixx a visit once their debriefing was over. Despite her usual smile having returned to her face, there still lie something sinister in her eyes. An anger that hadn't yet been quelled by her earlier outrage. She would have words with the Doppelganger.

Oh, are we giving out hugs now?
"Yes, things seem to be going fine so far." As if completely forgetting about the possibly hostile presence nearby, Kath would become excited and begin a very long winded reply to Graft. "Ah, I actually just so happen to have been taking notes on the various flora and fauna that me and Ashara have seen while making our trek here," she began, taking the large book out from under arm and opening it to the first page. "Since you specifically asked for fauna though, I'll just skip over the entries on plantlife that I made note of. The first animal I spotted was a small rabbit which crossed our path on the mountain. It looked to be about two and half pounds or one point thirteen kilograms. Lengthwise, it appeared to be about fifteen inches or thirty eight point one centimeters long. It's fur was red-brown in color, with a white underside. Just like the rabbits of our world, it had the typical large hind feet, long ears, and short, fluffy white tail we would expect to see. Once we were spotted, it took off at what I would estimate to be a eighteen mile per hour sprint or twenty-nine kilometers an hour."
This in-depth description would continue for quite some time before she moved on to the next animal she had spotted: yet another rabbit. Next would be a description of a goat she had spotted, standing upon the edge of a far off cliff. Thanks to its distance, her report was far less detailed, though she made sure to still include what she could see. When Graft inevitably told her he had heard enough, she would happily offer to lend him her book to read for himself once she had returned, so he could skim through the unimportant details and also see the sketches she had made.
That would be when Kath's ever protective, and evidently very necessary, traveling companion would return to her. "Ah yes, Sir Graft's Open Line caused our little stalker's presence to slip my mind. They've definitely been keeping an eye on me, though they haven't made any attempt at an assault on my person yet," she told Ashara, both explaining away her strange whispering and easing her mind to the hostile presence's unhostile action taken so far.

Sorry for such a long wait. Got sick while on vacation and still remained sick even after finally getting back home. Really sapped me of the energy I needed to post. To be honest, I'm still not completely better, but I hated keeping you all waiting for so long.
"It's very nice to meet you, Mars," Kath replied, keeping up her polite, yet not completely formal facade. Once the adventurer had taken his leave and left the two girls to their own devices, the dragonoid would take her own leave of Ashara to perform her own bit of research. Unless the kitsune enjoyed pouring over near illegible books with her, there wouldn't be much for her to contribute with, so she was happy to hear her suggestion to separate momentarily and reconvene later.
Unable to read any of the signs that may have directed her to a library, Kath would use a combination of poking her head into stores to see if any had a large supply of books and asking for directions to find herself inside the local general store. There, the owner would be kind enough to let the girl have a look at his collection of literature and give her the chance to reveal what the purpose of the second large book she brought was. Having suspected that the difference in language would come up, she had brought a lexicon of all the various languages she had translated back in the old world of YGGDRASIL, in the hopes that she might find one similar to this region's primary language. It was no Rosetta Stone, but it was far better than starting her research from scratch.
Time would pass. Much more time than Kath would think if anyone had asked her how long she had been at her research, but even she knew it was time for a break. Significant progress had been made though, and she knew that when she left the general store finally and had a basic understanding of what the buildings around her were for based solely on the sign posts outside them. She wouldn't be writing any academic papers in this language, but she could help any possible spies Lord Rodias might send into towns and villages in passing off as any normal citizen.
Speaking of spies though, Kath couldn't shake the feeling that one was on her tail at that very moment. In the corner of her eye, she had seen them, staring at her from across the street just before someone had passed between them and allowed her pursuer to fade out of sight. Just because she couldn't see them though, didn't mean she didn't still feel their aura lingering in the area. It was quite a powerful aura as well. Possibly even as powerful as herself. If not for the safety that Ashara's presence provided, Kath would be feeling extremely cornered at the moment.
And then a voice in her head caused her to jump. She had been so focused on her surroundings, Graft's message had taken her completely by surprise. "Er, yes Graft? I don't have access to my library, but if I cannot answer your question myself, I should be able to direct you to the text you might need," Kath would reply. While she kept her polite tone, her draconic eyes would continue to search for that small, cloaked figure she had spotted earlier.

totally gonna pretend I haven't had a full rp with the APPLY tag up for a week. def not.
@Xaltwind I'm actually out of the country at the moment. I can still post and I do plan to hopefully do so at least once before I get back home on the 11th, but finding a time we can all hop online to work on a collab together might be a little difficult to do.
For my family, Christmas Eve is for one side of the family and Christmas is for for the other side.
