There for all to see
Date: November 5. 2013
Time: 2:06 PM
Location: Salem, Massachusetts
Characters: Lux Warren, John Irvine
Description: John and Lux go digging into the Founding Families' past. Part 1/?
Status: Private, complete.

The traffic began to thicken as they drove through Peabody, on approach to Salem. Lux had mentioned, not long after the Halloween party, that there were a few things that she needed to check out in the town, although John didn't know exactly what. Something to do with the history of the Families, although their own were pretty comprehensive, and included a lot of information that was decidedly non-public.

But that wasn't the only reason he'd volunteered to drive them both. Things in town had been a little tense of late, not between them of course, or even between the Circle really, although they were still adjusting to the new paradigm that had settled in between them, free from the flawed Binding they'd lived through for years before. There were still issues with some of the parents, although the Irvines, on the surface, seemed to have accepted it. Gwendolyn and William refused to acknowledge him in the street though, which was hardly a change from before if he was honest, but it was a little more loaded this time. He thought that a break would be a good idea, even if the prospect of sifting through old tomes all day didn't exactly appeal.

There was a reason that he didn't go to college, after all.

They reached the limits of the city proper, and he glanced over, nudging Lux in the arm. She'd drifted off around an hour before, dozing against the window, her coffee cooling in the cup holder until it had separated again.

"Hey," he said, pulling to a stop as the light turned red at an intersection. "We're here."
