[Liz isn't sure what's going on or how the heck she ended up in the room she's now standing in, but she is nore than a little bit alarmed. The last thing she remembered was helping Chloe escape the Edison Group's facility. The chaos of the demon summonings and people dying ..]
[She looks around the room, only vaguely taking solace that this place ( Read more... )

You know crazy, huh? Sorry, but your gonna get more familiar with it here.
And your not a zombie or something, right? Cause I think everyone's had enough of those.
Oh and I'm Claudia.

Whoa .. Like .. that's wicked cool! I know you're not, like, a weird spirit or something, but this is totally like a dvd or something .. Sooo cool!
[It takes some fooling, but soon enough Liz has the video function figured out and is beaming up brightly from Claudia's page.]
Oh, wow .. this is, like, wicked neat! Yeah, um, hi, Claudia! [She waves, still beaming.] I know crazy, believe me .. but it, like, doesn't surprise me to hear that things are pretty weird here, too.
[She then pulls a face and shakes her head.]
No, definitely not a zombie .. been around plenty of 'em in the past, but that is sooooooo not me.

At least someone realizes my greatness. Making video posts is only one of my many talents.
So, how well do you know crazy? [You two on speaking terms]
[She's surprised but hey that means there is so much less to explain.]
You already know about zombies? Hey, you'll do great here. Normally it takes forever to convince them I'm not making fun of them.

Wow .. if that's just one of your talents, I better buckle down and prepare myself for, like, grandness, right?
[She grins a bit wryly then, giving half a shrug. The latter might not have been voiced, but liz picks up on it.]
Well, there was, like, a time I thought I was legit nuts .. Like, totallllllly bonkers .. but it turns out that was what the folks that ran the Lyle House wanted me to think .. I am, most definitely, not bonkers! All the stuff that I thought was, like, some crazy poltergeist was just my own telekenisis being all out of control. I got that worked out after I died, though, so no fear!
[Doesn't that just sound a bit scary?! :D]
[She actually laughs and shakes her head.]
Noooooo, I totally don't need convincing about zombies .. they are, like, most definitely really real.
[A moment's pause and she looks ( ... )

You should. I'd tell you to fasten your seat belt, but there aren't any cars here.
[Hey another crazy person! Awesome! And she only caught like half of that because her focus was on the first part.]
You thought you were nuts too?!? I mean, mine wasn't because people tried to convince me, but still. Why would they want you to think you were nuts? It's not exactly all that helpful.
Wait, what did you work out?
[She was being really relaxed about all of this. She must not have been joking about the craziness of her world. Sucky for her]
No, they're gone. You just missed them, so good timing.

Ugh .. is this place, like, entirely as primeval as it sounds? I mean, I heard there are, like, games on the fourth floor of the library or something .. But just how much technology is there here?
[Then she brightens and eyes Claudia curiously.]
Too? So you thought you were bonkers? [Then she's distracted by the question of why and off she goes into explanation world!] Oh, well .. they figured it was easier to explain my being at a group home for 'troubled' youth if I thought I was bonkers. You know, keep me all twisted up, so I didn't, like, ask questions .. I thought I was going crazy, cause stuff kept happening around me .. things flying through the air and breaking .. BUT, turns out it wasn't, like, a poltergeist or anything .. I have telekenisis .. I can, like, move things with my mind. Buuuuuuut, I like, couldn't control it and they couldn't control it, so they kinda sorta killed me ( ... )

[She way to relaxed about explaining her brush with insanity.]
Ended up in a psychiatric ward. I kept seeing my dead brother calling to me. I thought I was hallucinating, but it turned he was just trapped in a inter-dimensional bubble. He's fine now.
[huh]
So they told you that your nuts, then killed you, cause they're D-bags and now you're dead but your fine with that? Cause your powers work?
[She had to have gotten that wrong. Cause seriously, wtf.]
But why didn't they want you asking question? Questions about what?

Wow... sounds like you know almost exactly where I'm coming from!
[She shakes her head and then makes a face, explaining to clear up the confusion.]
My telekenisis started, like, working fine once I became a poltergeist. It was kinda a bummer, but at least it was working, right?
As to why the Edison Group killed me in the first place... They work for the Cabal and the Cabal is trying to enhance the abilities of supernaturals through genetic modification. I, unfortunately, was a failed experiment and couldn't control the powers I didn't realize I even had. So...
[She swipes a finger across her throat and pantomimes being dead.]
Easier to keep the wrong questions from being asked if you, like, kill the one asking them.

Looks like we need to start a club. The psychiatrists are wackos and aren't allowed near our brains club.
[Hey look someone that just as messed up as her! She sorta pleased about this.]
At least my doctors really thought I was nuts. Seriously what was wrong with yours.
Genetic modification? And they wanted you to think you were crazy? Should have looked in a fraking mirror.

I could, like, bring in a few other members right off the bat. We're not particularly a 'happy to have our brains messed with' group, you know?
[Liz feels exactly the same way, Claud! It's not often that people just kinda get where she's coming from. It's a huge relief on so many levels.]
Yeeeeeeah, right?! You'd think they;d realize the same thing!
Reply
Oh great they did that to even more people? Please tell me they got theirs before you got sucked here.
At least the nut-jobs in my world just try to take over the world.

There were, like, six of us at one facility at one point. Two of my friends are here, too... We were pretty sure the Cabal had any number of, like, other locations where they were doing the same thing to other kids. We took care of the guys that had ahold of us before we got away, but we still need to track down the others.
[The last earns a snort of laughter and a smile.]
Well thank goodness for, like, small favors!
