Tentative AU plans, subject to change at the drop of a hat!
Lambert, aged down to his late 20s, is a graduate student at [University], working on a PhD about the re-translation of some old obscure latin text [which I'll have to make up] where he has to argue that the previous translator (very respected, academic heavyweight) fucked it up. He spends most of his time not working on it because it stresses him out, and copes poorly by spoiling his cat, Pig, and drinking lots of coffee. Also for some reason he keeps seeing things his brain logically tells him can't exist, what's up with that??? Maybe he needs his glasses prescription updated.
He'll be 100% human with a sensitivity to magic (gets headaches when he's in its presence), the ability to see spirits/the supernatural, and weak premonitions of misfortune (and a compulsive need to go avert it -- he doesn't get more than a general sense of 'something bad is going to happen at x if I don't go there').
Hobbies: he does krav maga and rides a vespa. Part time jobs: University librarian, barista at a cat cafe in downtown Portland. He's better at the drinks than he is actually serving people, who he judges for stressing the cats out and not paying attention to body language. Tragically, cats who aren't Pig don't like him much, so he's always getting scratched up.
Potential AU CR opps: - Coworkers/Classmates - His thesis advisor ................ - Roommate(s) (does he look like a trust fund kid to you? rent is hard ok) - Regulars-- both at work and supernatural types he keeps running into
no subject
