[At 17, Herz had just survived his last growth spurt. He was just settling into his new, deeper voice, which was still prone to crack on occasion. He had some baby fat to work off, limbs he wasn't entirely sure even tried to listen to him, and a clean face. No scars.

It's honestly a hard face to look at, 'least for him. He remembers the boat just ( Read more... )

[Hanna is not so much avoiding craziness as he hasn't quite stumbled upon it all yet. He's been listening to transmissions here and there, occasionally running into kids in the hall, unsure if they were normal passengers or new ones. Did it matter? This was hilarious to watch. He would help where he could, of course, but for now, he'd just pester people.]

Did you get in a fight?

You said you had black eyes!

[Yep! That's right. He knows about the system, but he is also an idiot. And also he might not have read all of that thing Marco sent him.]

I--

...

Ooh. Ohh. No, not--

Not that kind of black eyes. More...more like...

More like if--i-if your pupil took up your entire, uh...eye.

[He knows he sounds like a freak...]

.....that is the coolest thing I have ever heard. Where are you? I've gotta see this! Is it paranormal? Were you possessed? Did something eat them? There are legends about things overtaking he irises, and some types of shape-shifters have their eyes change to be more animalistic with their shifts, but-- how'd it happen? Do they have any special properties? Can you see through things?

[All of this is said at a million miles per hour.]

Wh--

W-whh--w-well, I--

I-I'm pretty sure that, uh, that--t-that--that Marco, uh--

He's--he's got a--he's got a list of...the whys and--and hows...

OH! That thing he sent me! Iiiii totally read that!

[He didn't.]

I just forgot!

Anyway, I've never gotten to see them in person. Can I please? I'm a detective-kind-of-person.

[Because that lends you so much credence, Hanna.]

[FFFF Herz isn't in the mood for this.

This guy. This guy'll just ooh and ahh and make him feel like a freak. And he won't appreciate the implied warning of the tale. And he'll ask obnoxious questions.

And Herz doesn't have to do this. He doesn't have to do this.

...But he knows that he will, because he hates telling people 'no'.]

where--

[Throat clear.]

Whhh--wh--where'd you--y-you wanna, uhm. Meet?

Ummmm. How about that.... um, what's it called. Sergees? Sehrgays?

[He laughs.]

That restaurant place.

I'll see you there in a bit, okay?

[And by "a bit" Hanna means he'll be standing in there in less than ten minutes.]

[Herz does indeed show up, without complaint. It's the last place he wanted to be, but hey. Hanna hadn't really left him any room to argue with the whole 'okay, see you there!' thing at the end.

God, Herz hopes he can convince him to relocate someplace else.

Is that red-head him?]

Uhh--

Hh-h-hello.

[Have a gangly teenager. His t-shirt is a friggin' tent on him right now.]

[Such is Hanna's nature. Sorry, Herz. At least you don't have to go very far into the restaurant-- Hanna's standing in the doorway, practically vibrating with excitement. The tiny little detective looks to be about fourteen-- and it's not just a product of the age change event. He shoves his glasses up his nose and thrusts out a hand in greeting, a big, eager grin on his face.]

Hi! I'm Hanna Falk Cross, paranormal investigator, at your service, it's good to meet you!

[He doesn't actually seem to take a breath anywhere in that sentence.]

Uh--

H--Herz. Herz, nice to--to meet you.

[What is with this guy? Eh, whatever.

The younger man--not that he knows that--takes Hanna's hand and gives it a too-firm shake. He doesn't mean to squeeze the day-lights out of you, there. He honestly doesn't know his own strength.

Those black eyes are looking right at you, sir.]

[Hanna can appreciate a good, firm handshake! Just-- the bone-crushing kind are a little harder to handle. Just a bit. But he doesn't wince barely winces, and stares.

Right.

At.

Herz's.

Eyes.

There is a little tiny sound made in the back of his throat that's a lot like "gnee".]

[...please don't do that.

Herz lets go and steps back, his arms crossing over his chest in a way that makes his shoulders ride up. Is he cold? Nooo, just extreeeemely awkward.]

[Hanna runs a hand through his hair, staring for a little bit longer before he realizes--]

OH! Hey. Awkward! Sorry about that, my bad. It's just really incredible. I mean, really. Wow. Not something you see every day!

["Not something you see every day" being something that dominates most of Hanna's interests.]

Heh, speak--speak for yourself.

[He forces a smile.]

You, uh...y-you--you get them, here, from, uhm...dying. D-dying three--three times.
