Ha, worse where I was from. We were reliant on sponsors so the amount of eh... 'schmoozing,' that is the word? The amount of that we had to do was criminal. Evening upon evening of trying to convince the rich their pocket change was worth investing in ground breaking technology. [he rolls his eyes, there is absolutely a rant here just waiting to really get going.] That was Jayce's area mostly, thank goodness.
At least here I doubt we'll need to kiss up at upperclass parties so much as make a well thought out post on the matter.
[he gets up to grab his own notebook, mostly to find the notes he's taken on paleblood as he's been trying to learn. he has to stop though when he sees that pen, lips quirking despite himself because ah, that was quite the pen. he tries not to sound too amused as he says,] A survey is an excellent idea, along with asking after anyone's experiences with these bloodstones. Eventually we'll want to have an understanding of the unique facets of each blood type- ah, so much to consider here. For example, does the person the bloodstone came from affect its potential power? It's longevity? Do the unique abilities and magic of the individual stay within the blood or is the blood merely a vehicle and power source for those abilities likely within the dna of the person?
[nerds. he has a habit of twirling at his his hair when he's thinking so he starts doing that, explaining why his hair is kind of cow-lick mess in areas. he blinks back to it when asked about mystique, lips quirking again despite himself. pal is endearing, what can he do.]
Hm. [he puts his hand to his chin as if considering this very seriously.] Eh, yes and no. You have a particular academic air that lends well to a certain mystique, and being able to say you are necromancer from a House of repute certainly helps. I'm afraid the general friendly nature rather takes away from it though. Also your choice in pens might take a point or two away.
