Step once to the left. Left knee up, pointed toe. Down. Dip. Skim. Skip. Feet together.

[Curious, Alice automatically begins mimicking the action before the ghost of a memory resonates and she moves faster and faster, spinning, white boots crushing fresh green grass as her body moves through the formal steps across the park before remembering the Forge.

She blinks then and shakes her head, the hint of a smirk there in the curve of her lips.]

I taste nothing on the air. And please be more specific! What’s coming?

how much money are you putting down?

for those I would give you easy odds. this place breaks down on a regular basis, it's a sign of overuse.

actually, in this case i’d say it’d be a sign of overpopulation by overpowered anthropophagic shape-shifters with the tendency toward temper tantrums and the propensity for fighting amongst themselves.

presumably, you meant something similar with that statement about the nephilim - although I wouldn’t put it past someone so perceptive [ESP perceptive, that is. Don’t think he’s not onto you.] as you to have insight into our upcoming situation other than that which is intuitively obvious upon a glance at the network’s recent feeds.

[ … honestly, neither would he put it past her simply to be referencing an unrelated hallucination or delusion. But. Ahem. Segue.]

speaking of perceptiveness, i wouldn’t bet in opposition to you - at least, not when you’re so quick to suggest bringing money into it. however if you’re looking to make a few easy ivories, there are a couple of errands i could use some assistance with.

that's what i said.

money isn't easy, and it doesn't mean anything. but I'm good at running so I'll run your errands.

[ ... that isn't exactly what she said. The implications/insinuations behind her statement seem a bit different than the ones he intended with his -- overuse and overpopulation imply entirely different problems ... or, at least, entirely different paradigms about the solution to a similar problem.

He's fidgeting to type this, but it's irrelevant.]

good. [fine. and don't make him mince semantics. that's a conversation that would never end.] can you come by the fountain in the outlander's block to pick up some books tomorrow? 5 pm?

...What's a nephilim? Can you eat it?

[Oh yes, she's quite serious. it sounds like food.]

[Video]

[impossibly]

You may try.

[Here have an openly eager, excited look right at you, violet eyes bright.]

Are they meat? Or something sweet?
