Matt Jamison - OCs are forever - barrrrrr

It's not that Matt isn't grateful for nepotism. He loves nepotism! And it's not that he objects to the morning commute; that's why God made coffeemakers, and honestly any morning commute that's from the actual city and not a suburb is a huge improvement. It's not even that he's ended up, straight out of undergrad, getting a job that's close enough ( Read more... )

Theo manages to catch a glance through the door before it shuts and hears the noises. Being the curious sort and in a good mood today; he'd remembered that today was his and Enne's first date anniversary with no prompting from anything except his calender. The roses he sent were well received and when he left things would be even better.

With significant others on the mind, he asks Matt "Upset the girlfriend?"

Matt doesn't quite choke, but it's a close call.

"No," he laughs, "uh. More like upset the neighbors."

deadmanbusiness March 8 2011, 19:07:18 UTC

Well, Theo's had his days where his fiancee has thrown stuff at him. Usually fireballs.

What did you do to cause such a racket?"

tantric_slacker March 8 2011, 20:44:59 UTC

He looks very wry.

"Moved in."

deadmanbusiness March 8 2011, 21:17:09 UTC

This caused Theo to raise his eyebrows. "What is so wrong about that, that it requires the destruction of property?"

tantric_slacker March 8 2011, 22:05:08 UTC

"Well," Matt sighs, trying to brush dust off his jeans and probably just grinding it in, "when the neighbors in question are spirits, most bets are off."

"Poltergeist?"

tantric_slacker March 9 2011, 05:33:56 UTC

"Mmmmaybe," Matt says.

"Jury's still out. I haven't had a whole lot of bonding time with him, her, or them." He's using them for convenience, as an ungrammatical catchall.

deadmanbusiness March 9 2011, 07:17:50 UTC

"Poltergeists aren't much for bonding really. At least from my experience. You usually have to exorcise them out or make a deal with them."

tantric_slacker March 9 2011, 08:07:30 UTC

Matt blinks.

"Yeah," he says, "but I don't actually know that they are poltergeists. Not yet, anyway. Could be. But it also might be a ghost, demon, or ... miscellaneous, though typically I only run into those sorts when I'm actively looking."

deadmanbusiness March 9 2011, 17:06:49 UTC

What? He's a necromancer.

"Poltergeists are generally categorized - at least where I'm from - as a type of ghost. Usually the faint remains of a child who died on the location and is causing trouble. Not recently mind you, more like, perhaps several hundred years before the building was there," Theo says. He pushes up his sunglasses and thumbs on his iPhone and flicks through it. This gives a change to expose his silver eyes. When he finds the screen he wants, he offers it to Matt.

It's an FBI document on the nature of poltergeists and how to deal with them. A very official looking FBI document. Like not from the X-Files sort of thing.

"I run into all sorts of ghosts and things like that all the time."

tantric_slacker March 9 2011, 18:22:14 UTC

The eye color is interesting. Matt considers trying to get a read on this dude, decides it would be invasive if he can't get one already, and peers at (but doesn't touch) the phone.

Wow.

That does look official.

"Are you," ulp, "with an organization ...?"

deadmanbusiness March 9 2011, 18:46:14 UTC

If there was any reading to get from 'the dude' it would be UNDEAD UNDEAD UNDEAD. Which is odd, because he's breathing and everything.

"Hum? Yeah, I work for the FBI." He gives the guy a mild look of 'I'm not on duty, the bar is not in my jurisdiction, you are not my business'.

tantric_slacker March 9 2011, 18:54:31 UTC

Matt, perhaps due to his habitual avoidance of official law enforcement types, doesn't quite pick up on all of that. The mildness, however, comes through loud and clear.

"Huh," he says.

"There's a division of the FBI where I'm from that handles preternatural crimes. You know, across state lines. But there's also the Department of Homeland Security, which is sort of offensively worded but what can you do."

deadmanbusiness March 9 2011, 19:05:39 UTC

"I work for the Department of Magical Crimes and Mischief. We handle the really, really, really big stuff."

Like gods trying to regain their godly abilities, missing towns...

tantric_slacker March 9 2011, 20:05:03 UTC

Matt mouths magical crimes and *mischief.*

"The really big stuff falls under the heading of 'mischief'?"

Oh, bureaucracy.

Never stop being bizarre.
