The traveling Writers

Chapter 1:

The writer

‘Tap tap tap’ the sound of a finger tapping against a wooden table, the man’s skin dark, he wore a dark blue coat, underneath the lapel and top collar had stitched a white fur coat like someone had took the fur of a winter coat and sewed it underneath it, pink jewels decorated the buttons that closed off his coat.

The man looked down at his typewriter with his blue eyes, in them there was a hint of pink, that matched with his light pink hair, almost as if someone took a pink marker and drew a perfect line on the underneath part of a blue circle, without the color mixing or smudging, he glared down at the typewriter before sighing, he had been like this for weeks, needing of inspiration, wanting to be freed of the chains labeled with a sign and dark sharpie “Writers block”, it was suffocating for him, he had never taken this long to write a single page or even a whole chapter.

Gabriel Storms is a semi famous writer in sumeru, born in Snezhnaya, but moved as a child and was raised in sumeru, he writes romance books and some are just books of places and things he has done, alongside photos of amazing scenarios, now that he’s back at home, inspiration has gone dry, he sighed as he grabbed the cup of whiskey from the table and slowly sipped it before he stopped, an idea, he put the cup down before he fixed the sheet of paper and slid it to the right, soon typing away, the noises of the keys weren’t too loud and thankfully the place was though, though he couldn’t tell.

As he kept typing down he kept writing, at least an hour of uninterrupted work, till it was interrupted, someone behind next to him was pushed around and ended almost on top of his table, though he was lucky enough to be alright, but Gabriel’s typewriter wasn’t, as the guy’s ass stumbled on to the table he made it told slightly, Gabriel didn’t have time to think before he’s typewriter was soaked with whiskey, he cursed under his breath as he went to glare at the guy that moved his table but he was already gone, angry, he packed his typewriter in its suitcase before leaving Lambad’s tavern, sure it wasn’t a very good place to write but usually it wasn’t that full to be bumping into stuff and making a mess, he wasn’t even the slightest mad that he’s work was ruined, he was more mad that his typewriter would probably need fixing from water damage

“Hey there Gabriel!” Someone called out in the distance, but Gabriel didn’t budge as he kept walking before the guy quickly stopped Gabriel as he ran in front of him and raised his hand painting, it was Aarav, a guy that worked at the same company as him, Gabriel only stared at him with a deathly glare with a hint of confusion, Aarav gave him a nervous chuckle as he recovered from his short breath, seeing as Gabriel didn’t look too good in a mood, he quickly talked or better said signed

“Please be at your desk this afternoon, theirs a letter requesting you” he signed, Aarav was the messenger boy, he thankfully was thoughtful enough to leak some sign language for Gabriel as not everyone in the company did, he could read lips, but his boss felt it was necessary to have someone that could communicate fluently with him so he put Aarav to the task, Gabriel is deaf, since he was a teen, so everyone was careful around him not to be too insensitive, Gabriel always saw it as pity, but never commented on it since he thought it only made them act more careful if he pointed it out.

“Not sure if I’m able to work, I need to get my typewriter checked, and probably a replacement until it’s done getting checked or fixed” he sighed as he finished his sentence with his last sign

“Did it broke? I don’t think is gonna be a problem to borrow one” he gave him a confused look “also I think the letter is from monstat, the name sounded familiar from one of the farmers” he then looked around before he started walking, noticing they would be late if they kept standing around

“No it did not break, some guy pushed my table and gave my typewriter a bath with whiskey, now stop talking and let’s get moving, you’ll crash into something if you don’t keep your eyes in front of you” Gabriel finished signing, Aarav gave him an apologetic smile before he did as said and look up in front of him and kept walking.

The walk to the building wasn’t to far, it was lucky for a man that carried a suitcase with a typewriter everywhere he went, but only lucky when he wanted a cup of whiskey, he wished that sumeru sometimes had a more reliable method of transport but he didn't complain, sumeru was a nice place, calm, at least to him.

Once in front of the building he looked up at it, its design puzzled him at times, the color of the building was a light shade of cream while plants and trees surrounded it, almost making it theirs, he found it strange and questioned how the building was still standing with that much green life.

Gabriel looked down at the entrance before walking towards the door, once inside he looked around, inspecting his surroundings, there was four to five people in the lobby seating around as they waited to be called, he let a low hum sound before he walked behind Aarav who requested him to follow, doing so he walked behind him, soon he had lead him to his boss’s office, he was confused as he thought they would put the letter on his desk but he guessed hes boss needed to talk to him.

Gabriel sighed as he entered the office and saw his boss, it was a woman with red hair and green strikes that ran down it, her hair was down and she wore the cultured robes of sumeru, she smiled at me before signaling him to sit down, gabriel cutting her off as he raised his hand to say he wasn’t, the woman nodded her head in agreement as he wasn’t gonna force him before looking up at him

“Your reading?” She asked and Gabriel nodded “good, I know this isn’t the usual way I give you assignments and I would like to apologize in ahead of time, since I know you like to be punctual and not have any surprises but I have to talk to you about this one” she grabbed an envelope from the side of her desk and handed it to him, Gabriel rose a brow before looking down at the envelope and opened it, he looked through the request before he’s shoulders tensed and he looked up at her

“Inazuma?..” he asked as he looked back down making sure it was those same words. Inazuma, he heard that country was in lock down and a hot spot for casualties, even more because of the military, he sighed as he looked up at his boss who looked at him expectantly, he had a bad feeling of going over there, but it was his job and him being sent the letter, specifically him wasn’t a coincidence, the thing that confused him was who was looking for him, was it a soldier in help, or was it someone that knew him? This request screamed danger and trouble, but he was stubborn and would do his job no matter what. He looked up at her before closing the request with a nod

“I’ll go to Inazuma to write for the person Mrs.Weather, thank you for this chance” he stated, before giving her a bow and started to leave, Mrs.Weather grabbed her cane and smacked the end of it against the floor grabbing Gabriel’s attention rather by the vibration of the floor, Gabriel turned around to see her confused for the action thinking she might of knocked it off but Mrs.Weather wasn’t done talking with him

“Gabriel, after this assignment I’ll have you have a break” she grabbed a paper from the side before glancing over to Gabriel who’s facial expression didn’t change at all from a plain bore expression that didn’t seem to leave his face

“That isn’t necessary-” He stated with a stern expression, almost annoyed

“Gabriel you can’t-“ Mrs Weather cut him off as she wanted to argue back to him about his break but was cut right back off by the door as he left and slammed the door “What will I ever do with him…” she whispered as she crossed her arms and huffed while glaring at the door, but noting nothing would happen from just starring she pushed aside that problem and focused on her work.

“So? What is this important job?” Aarav signed with a confused expression, trying to catch up to Gabriel as to be sure to accompany him since he was his translator

“Not this time, your staying Aarav” he said as he pushed him away, declining him as a partner for this job, Aarav was confused on why he couldn’t go, he went wherever he went, why not this mission? He honestly felt a bit bummed that he couldn’t go, he thought Gabriel as one of the coolest writers in the company, many did, he was very popular in his district so it wasn’t a surprise for him to have; in his own words “a tiny admirer”.

Once out of the building he sighed and looked through his list of to do’s, but slowly his eyes went wide as he was now close to the floor, someone had bumped into him and they were both falling, he quickly catched the guy and anything valuable of his as he cursed under his breath, not considering how heavy the other guy might be

“Ah shoot! I’m so sorry! Are you alright?” The guy asked as he got off of Gabriel and picked up anything else that fell off of Gabriel, the guy’s hair was red, his skin dark, as his hair seemed to cover his eyes, or atleast when his hair wasn’t a mess, he had a pyro vision hanging from some straps that went around his shoulders and to his back, the more Gabriel examined him he noticed he wasn’t from around here, he wasn’t judging he was t from around here either, sure he lived here but he wasn’t born here, he was an immigrant, but it was still rare to see someone from outside at times, maybe it was because he didn’t really socialize or payed attention to his surroundings.

Gabriel was pulled out of his thoughts as the guy stood up and gave him his papers meeting out together

“Again I’m sorry if anything broke I’ll repeat you” he apologized again, Gabriel looked at him intensely, anyone would confused it for a glare for how long he stared, only stopped when the guy seemed uncomfortable with the stare “hey are you-“ he tried to talk to him again but Gabriel quickly ignored him, not exchanged any words with him as he grabbed his stuff with a tight grip and walked away as quickly as he could to his house, the second time in one day someone bumps into him, he was very annoyed, he already wanted to finish the writing request and he wasn’t even in Inazuma, as he’s legs walked him around the corner quickly he slowed down when he noticed the guy was out of sight and he could now walk in piece, he had a feeling of Déjà vu in his system like he had seen that man before and or the same thing had happened before, his eyes looked around the floor trying to remember where he had seen the man or what was the feeling directing him to but with a sigh and a glance to where he was walking he pushed the feeling aside to the man maybe being a past client.

He walked alongside the path and past the now closing stores before he noticed something was missing, cursing under his breath he turned on his heel and tried to run to the library before it closed, he ran as fast as he could to The house of Daena, and as he reached the door he was relieved to see librarian about to leave

“Please!” He called, not to loud as he knew that in a place like where they were at his voice could be too loud, a deaf man could tell that if experienced or not, The librarian stopped before smiling at him “My apologies Katayoun, I have to leave soon and I was told I could borrow a typewriter writer from here, is it true?” He asked her as he stabilized his breathing as he calmed himself and fixed his posture, The librarian thought for a second before smiling at him

“There is a typewriter left on one of the tables, someone borrowed it and didn’t put it away” she explained as she made sure to say her words where her lips could be read clearly, as she did not know sign language, felt kind of bad for not knowing it either but she was trying

“Thank you, may I take it with me, where I’m going I’m afraid there would be no place where typewriters would sold or borrowed” he asked, Katayoun smiled before letting a chuckle out as she covered her mouth

“I’m still surprised you ask me for them, but seeing as I cannot make you stop might as well get used to it, yes you can take it Gabriel, the company you work for is a great help and if anything is kissing we are willing to help, well at least me” she smiled, Gabriel gave her a nod and a thank you before entering, she was leaving but didn’t seem to be in a rush to close the place, he wondered if they locked up the place or guard it up.

His question wasn’t answered as he’s attention was pulled away by something else, his eyes widened as he once again saw a flaming red colored hair in the library, it might of been a coincidence but he didn’t like how this was the second time he had saw him

“Hey come on guys, the guards need me to be sure everyone is out” the librarian spoke in which Gabriel didn’t have a response to but seeing the red head react to the voice made him react quickly, even though he wasn’t sure of what was going on, if he saw him or not, he just needed the typewriter, so he quietly sped walk towards it, put it in his case and walked away as quickly as he could before he was out of the library

“Thank you” was the only thing he said before rushing out of the building and to the cold night green path, breathing a breath of clean air made his mode ease up a bit, as he was out of the place, he walked calmly to his house for about 10 to 15 minutes, but even after the walk, he was just glad tomorrow was close and he could get to Inazuma safe if Archons let him.
