Slamming his head onto the table he was using was starting to sound like a better and better plan the longer Cal sat at it. He was swamped with homework and he was having a hard time focusing for longer than five minutes at a time, which wasn’t super unusual, but it was more frustrating today than usual. He had been in the library for about three hours, was on his fourth coffee, and his laptop had just died. For a normal person, this wouldn’t be a problem- but because Cal is who he is, he had neglected his charger, leading to a fray in the cord. This fray caused his cord to short and now Cal was sitting with a smoking charger that no longer worked.
This should be a cue for Cal to pack it up for the day and just go home, but he was determined to finish at least one assignment. So with a sigh, Cal packed up his workspace into his backpack, including the broken charger, and trudged over to the bay of computers provided by the college. After a quick walk around the area, Cal realized with dawning horror that the only computer that was available had a backpack sitting in the chair. He looked at the man sitting next to the backpack and knew that he would have to go talk to him. As he approached, he noticed that the stranger was using a very familiar website- Aegis Associates.
Cal spent a lot of time on said website, not only enjoying the content, but also to assess if anyone was on the trail of Nightwalker. So far the blog had not posted any content related to him, which both relaxed him and secretly made him a little grumpy, because while he didn’t want a ton of attention, he wanted a little bit.
He stopped for a moment to formulate what he was going to say when he got to the man at the computer (“Hi is this computer taken”) and after a moment he started moving again. He got to his destination and opened his mouth to say his rehearsed statement, but instead of asking if he could use the computer, he said “I love that website.”
