”Then I'll remind you of your latin.” Paradox had already used this one, but it was a favorite. "Quid pro quo: that for this; which in this case means one bit of information for another. I've already told you what I'm doing here. That means you have to tell me something equal for me to tell you about the book. But, hey, if you want to keep groping in the dark," she got up and grabbed her book, "then that's fine too." Paradox had laid her hand on the table. Time to put up or shut up./color]

Soul: Gone. Mind Focus: Physics. Mask: On.V autner sharply replied. "Data venia, or excuse me, but with you, de omnibus dubitandum, everything must be doubted." He glanced at the book again. "You have, in all technicality, even if true, given me very little to work with. Lucy. The only thing half-clear about you is that you most likely want to do something on the highest level of moral objections by this world's standards. I will let you know two things on me." The book she had picked up suddenly jumped out of her grasp, pulled by the thinnest wire formed by the masked being. He slammed the book back onto the table. "I am male, and I care not of what happens to anyone but myself, meaning I have no conflict in finding what you look for. Do you find these two qualities disagreeable? That is the only question you have to answer yourself, as for now, I have fulfilled Quid pro quo."

”Not bad!” Paradox chirped. This was good. "And I don't assume someone with your tact would try to stop me. You've already said how interested you were." She snapped a finger and her book vanished. No more of that little game for Vautner.
"I think you'll find I'm telling the truth. Wouldn't it be great? To pin down the nature of the soul? I'm sure I don't have to tell you what that could mean for you." She shook her head. "And you think I'm up to no good with this research. Shame. I want everyone to know the true nature of the soul. But, there are pieces I must assemble before the picture can be grasped by our feeble mortal eyes... Don't you think?"
"Anyway, I could use your help in getting the Necronomicon. And in return, I'll give you everything: all the secrets of the soul to right whatever wrongs you see." That summation was drawn from his face. The look in his eyes was like a wounded animal; and all he wanted to do was bite the head off his persecutor.

Soul: Gone. Mind Focus: Physics. Mask: On.T he man continued, un-phased by the disappearance of the book. "Like I said; by this world's standards. Your moral standards are different. And mine, are indifferent. I see nothing wrong or right with this world. I have a goal. Simply stay out of my way and you'll have nothing to worry about. I'm going to get what I need from the book, leave it with you, and take my leave." Enough negotiations. "Details. Leads. Tell me what you know."

”Then let's get started.” Paradox smirked. This was the first time a while that her observed had taken such initiative. The clock on the wall sprang to three, and from the halls a gently clatter rose with laughs and clacks and booms and oofs to say what Paradox felt. "It won't be easy to get. Death hasn't done it yet, but if we work together I think we can find it." Paradox would continue briefing Vautner on what she knew as she walked him out of the library, taking a quick hush when they reached some of the crowds. Didn't need all the rugrats knowing about the book.
Eventually they would come to an understanding of the book's most recent whereabouts: five locations, each in complete contradiction to each other. Someone or some group must've wanted it to stay buried. Whether or not that person or people still exists, remains to be seen.

-Hollow-Mask-
Soul: Gone. Mind Focus: Physics. Mask: On.Vautner allowed himself to be pulled through the public. She apparently thought it wouldn't be a problem. He knew otherwise. The more exposure there was the more lethal the situation became. The more they knew of him, the more they had on him. This job was going to be difficult. {Exit}
