Case File 2 - Video

[screwperseus]

[Medusa can be seen meandering around her shiny, new, tastefully minimalistic living room and straightening things before she steps back and admires everything.]

That's better.

[She turns toward the communicator and addresses Vatheon as a whole.]

Now that that's taken care of, I was wondering I might find any other familiar faces around here.

[Here, Medusa, have a kid who isn't one of the two freaks you've had to deal with.]

I don't recognize you, and the way you talk... You're definitely new. Kinda surprising that you adjusted so quick.

[video]

[screwperseus]

[Oh thank God for you.]

I adapt quickly.

May I ask your name?

[video]

[prominence_glow]

Oh, I'm Lea. Don't forget it.

I'm guessin' somebody helped you out with finding a house and stuff? Most newbies to Vat take a while. One guy I know, he slept in a tree or in fields for three days because he didn't think to ask anyone. Crazy, right?

[video]

[screwperseus]

I asked a colleague for help, and he suggested I find somewhere to live. I assessed the options and decided this was the best place for me. Sleeping outside just seemed ridiculous to me.

[video]

[prominence_glow]

Pft, that's what I said. I mean, he's a real smart guy, so I don't know what was up with him. But he has his stuff together now.

So, is there anyone you know here? Since you were asking about it and stuff. It'd be nice if there really were some familiar faces for you.

[video]

[screwperseus]

Yes, that colleague I mentioned, and another man from the academy. Having them here will be helpful, I think.

[Or, you know, make her life a living hell, but hey, who's counting?]

[video]

[prominence_glow]

Good. I mean, there are nice people period in Vat, but it's better with people you know. Maybe I've met 'em. What're their names?

Which I don't think I got yours, either.

[video]

[screwperseus]

Doctor Medusa. Their names are Doctor Stein and Death Scythe, though I suppose he's been introducing himself as Spirit.

[video]

[prominence_glow]

That's great! I know both of them, Med. [And yes, that is now your new nickname. Congrats?]

I haven't heard Stein talk about you much, but he's not really a social chatter kinda guy. I only know Spirit a little bit, but he's pretty nice too. You're pretty lucky to know both of 'em.

[video]

[screwperseus]

Oh, he wouldn't have had any reason to mention me. [Thank God he hasn't been talking about me.]

[video]

[prominence_glow]

[Cue mock parent sigh as Lea places his hands on his hips.]

His social skills really suck. I could talk to him about it if you wanted. I mean, you two know each other, you've already met in the city.. Jeez. And you look really nice, too.

[video]

[screwperseus]

Oh, that isn't necessary. He's just not the conversational type, that's all.

[video]

[prominence_glow]

It's like pulling teeth sometimes, but I guess you're right.

Do you need anything right now? Since you're still kinda new and all. I know the city really well, so if you need anything, I can help you find it. If you're a friend of his, it wouldn't be a problem.

[video]

[screwperseus]

I appreciate that, I'll let you know if I need any help. Right now I just need to finish getting settled in.

[video]

[prominence_glow]

That takes a while. Sometimes I still feel weird when I look up at the barrier.

Oh, and practice on your smile!

[video]

[screwperseus]

Why would I need to practice that?
