new arreyeval [open!]
Who: Elias Bouchard & OPEN!
When: mid-April
Where: ADI and around
Summary: getting settled & visiting a graveyard
Warnings: will edit if needed
around ADI
Elias finds himself fitting right into Administration. There's a part of him that wants to go into Research, of course. That desire to learn, to know, to figure out and explore whatever is going on still lives strong in his mind. But for the moment, Administration fits. After all, the more he learns about this place behind the scenes, the more information he has and he can use to shift things to go his way.
It is very easy to doctor a paper trail if you work in the department involved in paper trails to begin with.
The problem with working in administration is that Elias needs to do busy work. And with people vanishing on a daily basis (something which he tried to Know the cause of and was very put out that the only thing he received in return was a nosebleed), the new guy gets stuck with the busy work: roll call.
So he approaches people, he'll ask, "Pardon me. You're someone from a different world, correct?"
50 steps
Well. This is interesting.
Having seen his demise once already (stabbed, beaten bloody at the hands of the Archivist of all people), Elias lingers around the graveyard anyway. Curiosity wins out: how does this place count a death? Would he see how the body of Jonah Magnus died? What about possible deaths? After all, if he knows about this death, why would he keep things the same and let it come to pass?
That curiosity is driving him. So he lingers in the graveyard, to the point that he's still there when they're rounding up people to leave, walking around as he looks for those steps again.

He's around ADI, so hit me up with anything!

He can feel the burning somewhere in his chest that rises through his throat, the absolute anger at how nonchalant Elias seems to be about this whole thing. Before he can stop himself, he takes a step forward, and jabs a finger square in the middle of his chest.
"They're not getting out again. I swear it. And if you're working to let them out in any way, I will kill you like I should have in the Panopticon. I might not be able to save everyone or, or everything, but I'm not going to let you ruin anything or anyone else."
no subject
Elias stays still, a calm and poised picture, before continuing, "Now Martin, there's no need for threats. If I try anything—and that is a very big 'if' at the moment, considering I still need to get the lay of the land in this place. But if I try everything, I suspect you'll be the first in line to try and stop me. You've made your point."
no subject
"It's not an if for you, it's always a when. So I want to make myself very, very clear. These-- these people don't know about our world, alright? I didn't tell them, and neither did Jon, but I can do much, much more than send you to prison." His face is just a bit screwed up into seriousness, but Elias of all people will know he isn't kidding. "Okay?"
no subject
"If you have kept details about our world quiet, I can keep quiet as well." Granted, he'll be upfront about this sort of thing later but not right now!
no subject
"Good. Then... then good." He nods, as if that makes it more definitive. "Don't fuck around and find out and we'll be fine. So, if-- if that's it, you can go back. But I'm going to-- I'll be making sure you aren't being a conniving little beast, so don't try anything." He has Connections now, which is going to start by immediately going to Pam and badmouthing Elias like hell. But for now that'll have to be good enough.
