07 | Visual/Location: Pedestrian Plaza | Tied up or dressed up, she's a prisoner

Dec 19, 2011 18:41

The tablet turns on before things get weird, so Taxon gets a quick upshot glance at the bare midriff exposed at Gwen's hip, underneath her heavy pea coat. There's some shuffling, so it's clear she's on the move. And then all movement stops.

Gwen hears a voice, smooth and low...and barely perceptible. But it's there, like a whisper coming from ( Read more... )

"If you are referring to what appears to be the shades of the deceased in attendance, then no, Miss Raiden, I do not believe you are going mad. Or if you are, it is all communal."

Long's voice sounds a bit tired, but then, it's been a heck of a few weeks for everyone.

Preaching to the choir, Long. Gwen can't agree with you more. It helps when the crazy people call her crazy and the stuffy, smarty pants ones call her sane.

"Glad to hear it. Not that it makes it any less creepy."

"Creepy? Yes, I suppose so. Unpleasant, to say the least. Especially when the dead remain as obstinate as they were in life," Long sighs.

"Are you quite alright?"

"On a scale of one to ten?" Gwen breaths out and gives a soft, nervous laugh. She's been put a little more at ease, knowing her mind isn't playing tricks on her, but she's rattled, for sure. She can't shake it.

"Six. It's just...how did they even...?"

Another sigh.

"I'm afraid I couldn't answer that. They have knowledge of many things they shouldn't, or couldn't. It is one of the more invasive aspects of Taxon.

"While I am sure it is cold comfort, we are all equally subject to these, how shall we say, violations of our privacies."

[audio] freaks_myword December 22 2011, 21:27:20 UTC

It is a cold comfort, but one she just can't fault him for. It's better than no comfort.

"Thanks," she says, in a softer tone. "Maybe we'll get those bastards back one day."

"Perhaps. I personally would not be opposed to sampling hamster au grilloir, should the opportunity present itself," Long says wistfully. He may or may not be joking.

"In the meantime we do what we can to amuse and console ourselves."

She grins at him, because it's clear to her now that Library might have a lot more badass behind the scenes than she thought. He's...feisty.

"Merry Christmas to us," she says, dryly.

[audio] imperial_long December 24 2011, 10:06:22 UTC

Long smiles back, a diffident smile but a gleam of answering amusement in his eyes, an acknowledgment that's practically as good as a wink.

"Merry, that is one word for it. Do come by the library sometime for tea, Miss Raiden. We will browse cookbooks."

[audio] freaks_myword December 26 2011, 23:31:16 UTC

She looks pleasantly surprised by the invitation, and appears to think it over. Can she do tea in a library with a not-as-stuffy-as-she-once-thought librarian?

Yes, she could. Especially if that meet-and-greet entailed ways of screwing over their captors. "That sounds like a date, Mr Long."

[audio] imperial_long December 30 2011, 10:59:38 UTC

"I think we can safely agree to eschew flowers. One or both of us might have allergies," Long responds lightly.

"Until I see you then, Miss Raiden."
