Fred nodded in agreement. Really, Anti-RSOR couldn’t be removed, it couldn’t be dissuaded so all they could do was keep them from getting more information and keep them busy and away from the truth of RSOR. But Fred had already voiced her thoughts on what they’d think if they found out. No way they’d make the steps themselves to thinking they were all reincarnates. Any person in normal society would have a hard time with that if they were not a reincarnate themselves.

Fred couldn’t help but laugh at the next stage of Oliver’s analogy. ”Indeed we can! Don’t tell the normals that though! Our secret identities would be forever lost!!”

[/b] she added, keeping up with the theme of superheroes and what RSOR could do. The funny part was, RSOR members were sort of like super heroes. But they had to work all for themselves to be what they were. Orville had built the plane, Amelia had flown it and had paved the way for women around the world. They deserved to be called heroes, if not super heroes.

Fred found Angelo to be a bit of a mystery as well, and she had to agree with Oliver that generally he didn’t speak much to anyone. It was an honest to god miracle that Oliver had recruited him to begin with. Fred knew Angelo had come to Riverdale in his Junior year but with his isolated lifestyle it was hard to know if he was or wasn’t reincarnated. Oliver either got lucky or was meant to recruit Angelo. It was like a higher power had deemed it so.

”Do you think maybe the fact that you were telling the truth made him trust you or something along those lines? I get the feeling he does want to try to be social. Why else would he show up to RSOR meetings?”[/b] Fred asked with a shrug. She could be wrong though. Generally Fred could read people but to read someone you sort of needed to talk to and understand them. She didn’t do that with Angelo. She had introduced herself and he had shrugged her off. She knew from that point it was best she leave him be.

She smiled and nodded, her voice sounding almost like they were conspiring when she added ”I think he’s a pilot. WWI maybe? He picked up on German really fast on a trip to Germany once, and he has an extremely accurate knowledge of planes. Not to mention the arrogance…even if normals can be arrogant too. I am trying just calling him different aviator names on a regular basis. I figure if he is one eventually he will instinctively respond to one of the names.”[/b] She was grinning from ear to ear with how clever her scheme was. ”I figured start with a list and go down it,”[/b] Fred offered. ”And if he isn’t, which is unlikely, then I can always say they were me testing out potential pet names since he does enjoy planes. And a little too much…hence my suspicions.”[/b]

Fred shrugged when he mentioned the whole issue of flying to another continent. ”My parents still wouldn’t care if it were the opposite way. Just make sure you guys have passports?”[/b] she added with a smile. ”Keep in mind, my family is a go get them style family. My grandmother is travelling the world in her retirement and my parents are archaeologists…what reason do they have to be concerned with a little travel time?”[/b] Fred asked.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]

[Oliver Lee Winchester]

Anyone who thought that Anti-RSOR could permanently be removed from the picture was kidding themselves. Even if Anti-RSOR wasn't as organized as it was, there would always be a threat, and there would always be people out there curious as to what the big secret was. If Oliver wasn't a reincarnated and a member himself, he knew that he would be curious as well, though he wouldn't take it to the extreme that the members of Anti-RSOR were. There was a difference between being curious and being obnoxious and a pain in the ass, and Anti-RSOR crossed that a long time before. Then they acted surprised when RSOR started using harsher tactics to protect itself?

Oliver shook his head. "We absolutely cannot have that!"[/color] Fitting, for the pattern of their previous conversation. Wasn't RSOR all about keeping their 'secret identities' just that...a secret? This metaphor was starting to fit more and more.

"I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. It took everything in my power not to back off. I just knew what I was dealing with, and I knew that once I started...I couldn't back down. It would give him too much time to prepare for the next recruiter."[/color] And then his chance at a recruit might forever be lost.

It was true that Angelo even showing up to RSOR meetings was saying something. He could just use the room for it's privacy, but there were times where he'd actually socialized with people at the meeting. Nothing to the extent of everyone else (even Oliver himself, who was shy around normals, but opened up around reincarnates), but for Angelo, it was still very much notable. "He recently expressed interest in moving into the dorm Will and I share."[/color] Oliver confided in Fred. "I think it's because he wants a safe place to work in case something like this happens again."[/color] He pointed up toward the attic, hoping that Fred would catch his reference to the key incident, and the entire reason why Fred had to spend her night guarding the staircase.

Oliver was surprised, and a bit pleased at Fred's next words. "Another pilot? World War I? That's fantastic! Any idea who?"[/color] In his excitement, he almost failed to notice that Fred was still talking, and answering some of his questions along with it too boot. He looked a tad disappointed when Fred didn't provide him with a definitive name, but if she didn't know precisely who her brother was either, how could she pass on that information to Oliver?

Given that Fred had her suspicions, and pretty deep ones as well, Oliver decided to venture on to another question. The actual recruit would be best left with Fred herself, and Oliver realized this, but he still wondered if he could help in any way. Given that he didn't have to go through the most stressful part - The recruiting itself - He felt even more at ease about this prospect than usual. "Well, what has he done that has caught your attention? Perhaps we could put our heads together and narrow it down a bit. You said World War I...what made you think World War I?"[/color] Given that Oliver was well into adulthood at the time the war took place, and went most of the rest of his first life referring to it as The Great War rather than World War II...he did consider himself to know a bit on the subject. Then again, so did Amelia.

Oliver laughed a little at the mention of passports. "Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. First I need to make sure this is actually a go. Besides, we had to have passports to even go on that London trip, remember?"[/color] His parents had been a bit leery about that trip, but it also came spur of the moment, only a month or two in advance. This would be planned out months in advance...hopefully Judy and Ed would be more receptive as a result.

====================================[/center][/color]

Fred nodded her agreement to her own statement. ”Indeed we can’t.”

[/b] she added for emphasis, that portion of their conversation dying out. It was an amusing metaphor though and one she intended to use again, now that the idea had appeared to her via Oliver. It was a witty way to look at things to say the least.

Fred grinned when he explained that it was likely Angelo would have prepared for the next recruiter. ”I agree, catching them off guard is generally the best way for things to happen. If they have time to defend themselves it becomes a lot harder to gain recruitment without possibly divulging too much information before we know who will keep it quiet. We’ve had recruits in the past that I would consider a security threat before they changed their tune.”[/b] Fred explained. She was in agreement with him at least. ”Well you did the right thing and you succeeded. I doubt he’d have been noticed otherwise.”[/b]

Fred had introduced herself to a far less than impressed Angelo when she first saw him in the RSOR room. He hadn’t said much, hell if she hadn’t asked his name she probably wouldn’t have even gotten that. He just didn’t want to talk to her. Though, he had spoken a few times since and actually been what Fred assumed was his form of social since. But to hear Oliver’s mention of his relocating dorms willingly was a surprise. ”So he chose to room with the two of you? That is…well unexpected! He is clearly really reserved and if he is comfortable enough with you to just change dorms…that is something after all.”[/b] Fred said, sounding somewhat impressed.

”Whatever his reasons, I’d be flattered if I were you. The point is he chose to room with you guys and from what I’ve seen of him, he doesn’t really get along with anyone.”[/b] Fred admitted with a shrug. ”Though I can understand anyone wanting somewhere safe to be themselves given what’s going on right now.”[/b] Fred admitted. She was thankful that she could just head out to Corny’s place and ride the horses if she wanted the personal time. Or she could hide out in her car if worse came to worse.

Fred shrugged. ”That’s where I am not so sure. See, he could be any number of people. Back then, a lot of us knew more than one language. So he could be from any of the sides of the war, not just the German one which is where I intend to start. On top of that, technically I could be wrong and he could be from World War II. I have to try and work it out.”[/b] She explained. She noted his disappointment at her not having a name. ”Give me a little time. I’ll figure it out.”[/b] she offered.

Fred considered. ”Well, to be honest, part of it is the fact that he picked up on German fast, and with his arrogance I have a hard time imagining he was a holocaust survivor. So if he knows so much about planes, has a natural arrogance and much like me a thrill for adrenaline, I would assume he was a wartime pilot. If he was German especially because the Luffewaffe was disband after WWI till WWII. So he would have to be in there if he is German, which I think he may be. But a lot of this is speculation, mostly because there is little evidence. There is the knowledge of things he shouldn’t know…like planes and piloting…you know the stuff you and me understand. But it’s not a modern knowledge, hence my thoughts. But throw in our trip to Germany and how fast he picked up the language, the diction in the way he spoke German…it suggests earlier in the 20th century to mid 20th century.”[/b] Fred explained. ”Like I said, a lot of it is loose and hard to narrow down.”[/b] She explained.

Fred laughed. ”Fair enough. We have to work hard to convince Judy and Ed then.”[/b] she agreed.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]

Oliver couldn't help but blush about the security threat comment. "You mean like a certain someone who was found correcting books in the library?"[/color] Then again, how was he supposed to know at the time that there were others like him at the school? While he did not want to outright reveal his identity even then (especially after how Cindy reacted initially), he was a lot less careful when he only had himself to worry about. With RSOR, it was not just himself, but every other reincarnate in the school. That in itself was enough for him to keep mum, especially when many of these reincarnates were near and dear to his heart - Close friends, confidantes, and, most importantly, family members both past and present.

Oliver nodded in agreement with Fred's assessment. "It's something else, isn't it?"[/color] Oliver knew that part of it was the fact that his was a dorm with two known reincarnates and no normals. He was pretty sure there were other dorms out there with two reincarnates and no normals. With the number of students who had left as of late with the new school year, there were plenty of vacancies. So the fact that Angelo had chosen the dorm that he shared with his past brother was something else indeed. "I honestly am sort of flattered."[/color] Oliver admitted. It was plain as day that it was hard to gain Angelo's approval, and apparently Oliver and Nate had. "Relieved too."[/color] He added, unable to deny that part of the equation. "I don't know what we'd do if we had a normal moved to our room."[/color] Oliver hated to even think about that. Other than the RSOR room, their dorm was the only place that Oliver and Nate really had to be themselves. Anti-RSOR had already made connections between them as a result of a slip of the tongue on Oliver's part, and Oliver didn't want to give them any other reason to be suspicious. Oliver and Nate could be best friends, yes, but any hint that there was more to it than that, that they knew each other before Riverdale, that they were more like brothers than best friends needed to remain hidden from anyone outside of RSOR.

"That's true. I can't say I was particularly fluent in any language other than English, though I knew some French and German. And Latin, of course."[/color] Latin was commonly taught in school in his time period, after all. Then again, simply the fact that he knew German in the first place was an obvious sign that he was indeed a reincarnate. Maybe not so much if he and Fred were from Germany in this life, but the fact that he'd picked it up so quickly - so quickly, in fact, that it was likely that he already knew the language - that was something to think about.

Oliver thought about what Fred revealed to him next. "Wartime pilot would make sense, but there were a lot of those. We can narrow it down to some of the more well known aces, but even that leaves us with quite a few names, especially if we're thinking it could be either world war."[/color] World War I would narrow it down considerably, though it didn't sound like Fred was entirely sure of her initial guess of World War I. "This would be a whole lot easier if we could just come out and ask him."[/color] Oliver asked with a wry sort of smile, clearly joking. While it would be easier, he knew what the risks of that were, and wasn't about to even try it. They might have good reason to suspect it, but they weren't past the point of reasonable doubt.

"I'll pay extra close attention to him in class, to see if he does anything that may help you figure it out."[/color] It was the best Oliver could do to help out. He couldn't very well approach the guy about planes, as tempting as it was, because it was a risk for Oliver himself. A risk that Oliver, given his situation, didn't feel safe taking.

Oliver laughed and shrugged. "It's convincing Judy that will be harder. Ed won't mind too much."[/color] Then he added. "If your brother is a reincarnate of some wartime pilot, though, he'll probably be interested in our exploits over the summer as well."[/color] Oliver remarked with a grin. This whole 'plot' of sorts just kept getting better and better! Spending the summer with his brother and Fred, and possibly other aviators? What could be better?

Fred grinned widely. ”If you want one instance of it. A lot worse things have happened than one reincarnate correcting a library book,”

[/b] She said, intentionally referring to Oliver in third person. Honestly, Oliver’s ‘offense’ was hardly anything when compared to other past incidents. If she had to hazard a guess, she’d say that London had been the highest security risk and they’d barely scraped by that one. It was much more dangerous for the reincarnates when bulk activity drew attention. That was why the ‘RSOR Secret’ had gained such a large group of individuals desperate to discover the truth. The more people are in on a secret or an activity that is strange in nature, the more people buy into it.

Fred found herself smiling. It was honestly a strange thing how different reincarnates interacted with one another in this life; Various historical personalities all interacting and meeting like normal people but in abnormal situations. ”Who would have thought that Michelangelo would take a liking to Orville Wright?”[/b] She laughed.

Fred completely understood his relief as well at having no Normals in his dorm. Fred could see herself just how dangerous one normal in with the Wright Brothers was. Errol alone deduced some new things from breaking into Oliver’s room, so what was stopping the live in normal from snooping. Fred smirked, ”No offense, but given your track record, I don’t think Hanston would allow that to happen.”[/b] Fred offered. It was clear from her tone it was a partial joke but she also meant it. Oliver and Nate were some of the most obvious reincarnates because it was harder for them to hide. Fred could hide well because there were no planes around to fly and certainly no reason for her past habits to give people pause. Some like the artists and inventors often had a harder time hiding. Oliver was one of the most obvious and through him Nate. They couldn’t suppress their nature. The only one more obvious was Walt Disney, and even then he could be himself and disguise himself by just acting normal. Fred had been hesitant at first when she realized how blatant Justice was, but she quickly realized that people just assumed he was so fanatical that drawing Disney was a by-product of his fanaticism.

Fred shrugged. ”Language is a huge tip off. I mean, it makes sense for a German to speak German. But an English boy picking up German and speaking so fluently it is like his first language? I picked it up fast as well, because of my past life fluency but it was suspicious that he spoke it much better than even I did. Language evolves too, and the rules change, hence my suspicions of WWI or II. Back then, Language was a much more widely respected thing. Today, everyone knows English and if they don’t they learn.”[/b] She said with a shake of her head. ”It’s a shame really...”[/b]

Fred found herself considering just asking Rudy. ”Even if I did, I am sure he would just cover it up. By nature we reincarnates don’t want to reveal ourselves. I need to catch him by surprise and with a name. Without one, I am afraid he may raise his defences too quickly.”[/b] She said considering other approaches. She found herself grinning. ”I’ll keep trying names. Eventually one will get more than a standard reaction.”[/b] she offered.

Fred nodded her head in thanks. ”I appreciate it. It’s a little more personal when it’s a sibling I must say. I’ve never had to recruit my own sibling before...I’d just like to get him into RSOR as quick as possible.”[/b] She explained. ”I can’t wait to talk to him as myself!!”[/b] She added, her excitement evident.

Fred nodded her head. ”I have great parent manners if you need me to speak to her and help with the convincing...”[/b] Fred offered, knowing how parents could be. Fred had never had strict parents, but she understood many people did. She also was pretty good at the whole convincing thing. Fred was a great student, an achiever and a good role model and parents tended to see her as a good influence as well. Hopefully that would all be in Oliver’s favour.

”If I can recruit him before then he’ll be an excellent asset and an extra set of hands.”[/b] Fred agreed. ”This’ll be quite an adventure!!”[/b] Fred added.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]

Oliver knew that there were other security breaches in RSOR that were far more dangerous. Heck, they were living through one example right at that very moment! At least back when Oliver was recruited, Isabella happened to be the one to catch him. Admittedly the situation could have been worse, but Oliver was not outwardly associated with RSOR at that point. Meanwhile, there were fifteen keys scattered around the school that everyone KNEW belonged to Hanston and led to the attic - and the secrets that RSOR held. Therefore, it was a huge deal to everyone. "You mean like the keys to the attic going AWOL?"[/color] Oliver responded with a grin of equal size.

Oliver chuckled. "I don't suspect he took much of a liking to me at first, when I was pestering him during the recruiting process. Like the rest of us, though, eh appreciated the idea of a safe space where we don't have to hide."[/color] What Oliver didn't say was that he also suspected Angelo joined for another reason, one that people wouldn't expect from Angelo. Like many others, including himself, Oliver suspected that Angelo was lured in by the prospect of a place where he belonged. It certainly seemed as though Angelo made strides in this direction.

"No offense taken. Will and I would prefer this anyway."[/color] While it was nice that they had the RSOR as a safe spot to work on their projects, their dorm was so much more convenient for this purpose. Besides, growing up together in their past life meant that they already had a track record of being good roommates. Oliver wasn't the only reason why it wouldn't be a good idea to put a normal in that room either - Nate was as well. After all, he'd been the one to leave the car out that Errol had gotten his grimy paws all over. Then again, none of it would have happened if Errol hadn't grossly overstepped his boundaries and busted into a dorm without being invited in...

Oliver nodded. "Language is definitely a red flag, especially if they don't have obvious roots in that country in this life."[/color] Oliver agreed. Oddly enough, he had yet to do a recruit that included language as a tipoff. Most of his recruits came from noticing other things - A reincarnate making a slip-up during a conversation, or displaying skills that were extremely advanced for their physical age. That said, there were a lot of cues, so Oliver wouldn't be surprised if he came across a language one in time.

The freshman reincarnate agreed with Fred's next assessment. "That's the best you can do. Let me know when you do find the magic name, alright? You've got me curious now as well."[/color] Oliver smiled. It was interesting to note that neither of them were referring to Rudy's recruitment as an if, but rather as a when. Oliver was going by Fred's lead, and if Fred was certain, than Oliver was pretty sure that it was indeed the case.

"Thanks for the offer. I'll bring it up with them the next time Cindy and I are at their place. I think it would be better to do this in person than through the phone or online."[/color] Oliver admitted, grinning a little at the thought of how Judy might react if he posted that he was going overseas over the summer with a friend on facebook without telling her first. Of course he wouldn't actually do such a thing, but it was tempting...

====================================[/center][/color]

Fred felt a huge grin spread across her face. ”Yes, like the Attic keys deciding to get up, walk away and distribute themselves among the possibly hostile school population...”

[/b] Fred offered with a laugh. Of course it was no laughing matter but the fact that they could joke about it was a strength not a weakness. Security breaches would always be an RSOR problem but at least they would work as a team to fix them. And who was to argue with History’s greatest minds working as a team? They could achieve anything if need be. Much like Oliver had suggested, they were like superheroes in a sense.

Fred tried to picture Angelo’s face while being recruited and found she couldn’t. She really needed to get to know the former renaissance artist better. ”I bet he was. He’s irritated by light conversation let alone that type of persistence. You had real courage going through with that one.”[/b] Fred offered. She would have done the same thing of course, but Fred could be fearless sometimes. She wasn’t sure she could have done a better job. ”It’s the greatest asset of RSOR. A safe place to be yourself.”[/b] She agreed. ”I can’t imagine what I’d have done if I didn’t have others like me to talk to and relate to.”[/b]

Fred nodded. ”I prefer it this way too. As does the rest of the Leader’s Panel and RSOR I am sure. There are very few all RSOR dorm rooms. We need as many as we can manage to keep people from being foolish. The RSOR room can’t always be open after all...”[/b] Fred admitted. ”I wish it could be, but the more keys that are distributed the more likely we will have a repeat of this.”[/b] She said sadly. ”I spend as much time there as possible to give people a chance to enter when they need to. But I am a busy person so I have plenty else to do.”[/b] It was true. Fred was in many clubs, a sports team each season, did extracurricular sports on weekends and even made time for each of her friends, which was a HUGE number of people. She was a busy person.

Fred nodded her agreement. ”And if they are from another country it never hurts to check them out anyways. I mean, not many people are here merely cause they have money. International students must be drawn here somehow. We are not so fabulous a school to warrant heavy money.”[/b] Fred offered. ”At least not to anyone who doesn’t already know what Riverdale has to offer...and it isn’t exactly academics so much as history.”[/b] She said considering that herself. ”I mean, I am an international student and looking back I was sort of drawn here by my grandmother. I should really talk to her about that. I wonder if she knew...”[/b] Fred hadn’t talked to her Grandma because of the fact that talking on the phone about RSOR may be a huge error. She couldn’t exactly encode everything so it was best to wait till they were both in the same place. Christmas hadn’t worked two years ago when she last saw her grandmother, as too many family members were around.

Fred grinned from ear to ear. ”Of course I will tell you! I will boast about him to everyone in RSOR. You have no idea how jealous I am of those who have siblings past, or present, in RSOR.”[/b] Fred admitted. Fred was certain her brother was one of them. She knew he had to be. It was just a matter of who and she would find out. SHE WOULD!

Fred nodded her agreement. ”As convenient as texting and facebook is, I really find face to face much more comfortable. May have to do with the past, or maybe it’s because radios have failed me before...but I am not so keen on distant communication if it can be avoided.”[/b] Fred mentioned. She made brief reference to her crash but most knew better than to ask her about it. It wasn’t something she was willing to talk about generally.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]

[Oliver Lee Winchester]

A grin came across the freshman's face at Fred's statement. "More like they sprouted wings like in Harry Potter and flew off..."[/color] It still bothered him that the keys had gone missing, and that some of the keys were in the hands of the Anti-RSOR. But overall? This conversation with Fred reminded him that they did have a major advantage here.

Oliver blushed a little when Fred stated that he had courage going through with the recruit. It felt nice to receive such praise, especially since it had been a very difficult recruit to go through with. He'd almost walked out on Angelo several times, but what good would that have done? It would have given Angelo more time to prepare, and he might have never been recruited. While Angelo might have enjoyed that, he also seemed to be enjoying RSOR - To the extent that Angelo enjoyed anything, of course. The lure of the freedom to be oneself, past and present included, was one that he found many reincarnates could not resist. Even, apparently, Angelo. "He said he was sick of altering his figures 'incorrectly'."[/color] Not that Oliver could blame him in the least bit. That tidbit sure was useful to Oliver during the recruiting process though!

It was strange, the amount of international students they had at Riverdale. It wasn't even that well known of a school, so far as Oliver knew. He only knew about it because his father had gotten a job in North Carolina and his maternal grandmother pointed out the high school she went to as a teenager herself, and what the surrounding community had to offer. Oliver had to guess that the town of Riverdale had built up quite a bit since the 1960s. "Funny you mention that, my grandma had a bearing in my ending up here as well."[/color] That was intriguing. Maybe he'd have to have a conversation with his grandmother later as well...though the chances of her having been involved with RSOR were slim. Or at least that's what he thought.

Oliver couldn't help but grin sheepishly as Fred mentioned how jealous she was of people who had siblings past and present in RSOR. So far as he knew, he and his past siblings were the only people who fit both of those descriptions. He still had to marvel at the twist of fate that put Alison and Nate in the same family. "It's a good feeling, I have to admit."[/color] The freshman didn't fail to note the reference to distant communication, and the effect that talking about it had on Fred. While he was vaguely curious, he decided not to voice this curiosity. No, that one would be better left untouched.

====================================[/center][/color]

Fred’s grin doubled in size when Oliver made reference to Harry Potter. ”Well then the solution is obvious!!”

[/b] She exclaimed. ”We just need to find those with enough skill on a broom stick and we will find the Keys!!”[/b] She added with a laugh, as if that explained everything. ”I hope Anti-RSOR’s quidditch team isn’t too skilled...”[/b] She added as an afterthought. It was a somewhat darker thought, but also light in its execution, given she stuck with the Harry Potter version of events. She was mostly referring to their ability to snag keys from others of course.

Fred, like usual, ignored the flushed color that came to Oliver’s face. She generally ignored a blush from anyone, knowing that embarrassment came with it and few wanted attention drawn to that. She instead continued on with the conversation. She grinned widely at Oliver’s admission of Angelo’s reasoning for joining RSOR. ”I guess for someone like him that is a concern. I find I have less to hide than many in RSOR do. I mean, it’s not like I can hijack a plane and go fly it. Creators, Inventors, and people with minds too intelligent for their own good are always going to be our greatest concern. I’d have managed without RSOR, even if I don’t want to manage without...but some of us would be very obvious indeed without a place to enjoy themselves without fear of discovery.”[/b] Fred offered. ”Then again, a few of us hide in plain sight as well...The most obvious I feel is Justice, and yet no one has even contemplated the idea that he may very well be Disney himself. Perhaps it is that he draws characters past his life time or maybe it’s something else, but I think even I would pick up on it if I hadn’t known. Reincarnates are more likely to notice other reincarnates after all....So anyone who does discover us, and believes it, we can generally assume they are likely to be reincarnated.”[/b] She added. She’d be proven wrong in the months that followed, when her own best friend worked it out and wasn’t one of them, but for now it seemed a sound form of reasoning.

Fred considered for a moment and then smiled, ”I think I may make a poll on the rsor website and see where everyone learned about the school. There very well may be a pattern here...”[/b] She added. ”If Grandparents and parents are referring people, it may be because they are aware of their own family being more than what they appear...or it could be coincidence. I figure it warrants looking in to...”[/b] Fred offered.

Fred nodded her head when Oliver admitted to the feeling, ”If I had any confidence that Meeley would be reincarnated I may start looking for a past sibling, but I feel that this time around is more likely, given I have more of them.”[/b] Fred said with a shrug. ”And I am positive that Rudy is one of us, so that in itself is a relief. Someone I can talk to about everything that happened the first time and who is around me enough as family...it’s just a nice thought...”[/b] Fred confessed. ”It could also make camping, hiking and various other activities more entertaining...”[/b] She added hopefully.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]

[Oliver Lee Winchester]

When it came to the Harry Potter references, Oliver was happy to play along. It might have been oversimplifying concerns a bit, but at the same time it was a lot more refreshing than simply standing there and worrying about all that had gone wrong. It wasn't like they could do much more about it than what they were already doing, and so the next best thing was to try to make light of the situation. As they'd mentioned before, it was doubtful that anything would become of it given the lapses in information where Anti-RSOR was concerned.

"Well, if flying's what we're looking for, I'd say we have two of the best options right here!"[/color] Oliver grinned, referring to himself and Fred. He was well aware that flying on an airplane was entirely different than flying on a broomstick, of course, but if anyone in RSOR could be likened to Quidditch players flying around on broomsticks at Hogwarts, it would be the RSOR aviators. When Fred furthered the analogy, Oliver shook his head, still grinning. "I don't think they stand a chance against us, to be honest. We've been doing this a lot longer than they have."[/color]

Oliver shrugged at the comments about Justice. "Well, he told me a while back that he left guides for drawing his own characters. So that helps him out majorly. His talent still seems odd considering, but it's easier to play off than some of our other talents."[/color] Such as his own, and even Angelo's. Yes, Angelo could pass himself off as some sort of artistic prodigy, but the fact remained that Angelo's skills went beyond that. He was someone with the appearance of a seventeen year old who could create skillful masterpieces. Oliver was well aware that Angelo's habit of retreating into himself was a part of his personality, but was part of it a defense mechanism as well? He'd likely keep wondering on that one...he wasn't about to ask Angelo!

"I'd answer that poll."[/color] Oliver admitted. It was something he'd been interested in for a while. Everything fell together rather perfectly for him, and he wondered if it was a common experience. He was glad that someone else shared his curiosity on the matter and might opt to do something about it. Oliver shook his head when Fred referred to her past sister, wishing that he could tell her that she'd find her eventually, but knowing that the chances of that were slim. Thus, he decided to stay mum on the matter...especially when Fred's mood took an upswing when she mentioned Rudy and her almost certainty that he was a reincarnate. "Oh, it's great having someone in your family in this life to share things with. Makes visits home a lot easier."[/color] He assured her from experience.

Fred and Oliver were at least on the same page; anything to lessen the tensions that were going around the school because of the missing keys, even if that meant a Harry Potter reference or two. Fred found the whole incident perplexing. How did someone manage to take the keys, or how did Hanston lose them to begin with. It was just something completely baffling but they had to deal with what they’d been given and until the locks were changed or the security could be amped up, there wasn’t going to be any chance that anyone break into the RSOR room. Even with Fred’s lack of physical skills.

Fred laughed. ”If anyone could make an actual broom fly, it’d be you Orville.”

[/b] Fred offered with a laugh. ”Well...you and Wilbur. I’d make a better third than second.”[/b] Fred added with a shrug that said it was the truth. Fred laughed when Oliver mentioned that they’d been doing it longer. ”Flying, yes. But I admit, brooms are not my foray. Perhaps I should make them one...”[/b] She added with a laugh.

Fred was interested in what Oliver mentioned of the guides. Fred was aware that Mickey had guides, but not the other characters. She was only aware of Mickey’s because of the animations that included an intro of Mickey being draw in a sped up fashion and apparently without a pencil or other such implement to draw him. ”I guess that does help. It’s almost like he planned to be reincarnated.”[/b] She laughed, knowing the idea to be ridiculous. ”I have to say it is a more modernized talent too than say Angelo’s or yours. I mean, yes, there are technological experts out there but for your age and skill it is suspicious not to mention the fact that your planes are now outdated. I am still astounded as to how far plane development has gone in the modern world.”[/b] Fred shook her head as if trying to shake off a feeling. It was a strange thought to imagine something so familiar became so dramatically different in a couple decades.

”Good enough for me. I’ll post it when I head home.”[/b] Fred offered. ”And after I get some sleep. This whole standing watch thing is taking a toll on me. I have a lot on my plate to begin with...by choice of course. But long hours spent at these stairs is hardly something I planned for.”[/b] She added. She handed Oliver back the remote control to his plane, which was now sitting at the bottom of the stairs having been perfectly landed.

Fred grinned widely. ”I’ve never had problems with visits home. We go on all sorts of adventures from hikes to portaging to spelunking and even snorkelling and cave diving sometimes. My family keeps me busy. But I imagine being able to be 100% honest with anyone just adds to the experience. I hope it brings me and Rudy closer together. I really want that kind of relationship.”[/b] Fred said, a touch of longing in her voice. She really did want what Oliver had with Nate and Alison, or what any of the others had with their siblings.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color]

The key incident didn't sit well with Oliver either. The fact that all of the keys had gone missing at once hinted at the idea that the keys were kept together, when, for security, it would probably be best if they were kept in different areas. In addition, who wanted the keys? The obvious answer was Anti-RSOR, but the fact that they only had a few keys to their name suggested that they weren't the ones who stole the keys in the first place, or else they would have held the keys as tightly as they possibly could. But then who did? Someone who just wanted to stir things up and watch everything unfold as a result? That was what it almost seemed like...

Oliver shrugged and grinned a little. "Well, we'd be happy to have you as a third if we do decide to do that."[/color] He was joking, of course, but only about the broom part. "They're not mine either. I prefer to stick with something that has some degree of control."[/color] The freshman laughed.

"I wouldn't say he planned it, but things worked out awfully well for him. "[/color] It helped that Disney was still a big thing, and that several of the characters that Justice created in his past life were still a presence in the world of animation. Every kid for almost the past century had grown up with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the rest of the gang, it seemed like. So the fact that Justice was into them? It could be easily passed off. He'd gotten damn lucky as far as Oliver was concerned, and he was a little envious of that at times. Oliver, too, was surprised at all of the improvements made to aircraft in the past century, but that didn't mean that he didn't want to learn more about said improvements and then make more improvements of his own!

Oliver picked up both the remote control and the plane and stashed it into his backpack, sensing that the conversation was winding down. It was getting late, after all, and hopefully Fred would be able to rest a little soon. He was surprised at just how deep a sleeper the other leader's panel member standing guard was...they hadn't awoken at all during this whole conversation! Turning his attention back to Fred as she discussed the benefits of having another reincarnate in the family, Oliver smiled once more. It was certainly something that he enjoyed, and he did not miss the hint of longing in Fred's voice as she explained her views on the matter. "It does, and it likely will. Knowing that you have someone so close who can relate to you. I hope it all comes together for you soon."[/color] Though he was pretty sure that it would. Fred was already on the verge of figuring her brother out, after all.
