FOUR; ACCIDENTAL VISUAL [ and you won't give up the search for the ghosts in the hall ]

[deniedthesight]

Angela's tablet clicks on to show her hunched over an open textbook, pen in hand as she occasionally jots notes in a notebook that's been set open beside it. A Bible and several other books, all of which are on the occult, are spread out in front of her, and one of them is dangerously close to falling off the edge of her desk. There's a half-drunk

Me no listen.

[ voice ]

[deniedthesight]

[ well, that voice certainly doesn't sound human. ]

...What?

[ voice ]

[taxby]

Red light, green light!

[ hi, the furby is bored and mayhem didn't put him back on his leash. welcome to his version of trolling. ]

[ voice ]

[deniedthesight]

I'm not interested in playing games. Who is this?

[ she might find it cute if the voice sounded a little more human...well, no, she'd likely still be annoyed. but a non-robotic voice would be a tad less creepy. ]

[ voice ]

[thesecondslayer]

Trying to find Jesus, Tex?

[ :> ]

[ voice ]

[deniedthesight]

I'm pretty sure he's on vacation.

[ but she sounds amused. hi, faith! ]

No, I'm doing research on things that are a little less holy.

[ voice ]

[thesecondslayer]

The way the Holy Rollers tell it, he might be in my sock drawer.

[ angela, she LIKES you. and faith is not a fan of people, in general. ]

We talkin' demons?

[ voice ]

[deniedthesight]

Well, he is supposed to be everywhere.

[ she likes you too, faith. you remind her a bit of a friend from home, which is comforting. ]

Demons, vampires, ghosts...pretty much anything that goes bump in the night that could be here or at home. [ demons are what she has a tad more field experience with, but she's obviously not an expert on the subject. ] I'm not sure how real vampires are where I'm from, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

[ voice ]

[deniedthesight]

Most people do.

[ at first, she thinks he might be referring to the bible, and then she places the voice. the same guy who was harassing people before, that the girl had sent out a warning about. ]

...Unless you meant one of the other books.

[ voice ]

[deniedthesight]

Didn't think you would be.

[ she's more curious than anything else, since he's clearly not the man who everyone had been warned about before. ]

Which of the other books did you mean?

[luthoran]

Looks like you could use some better coffee.

[He knows he's never met you before, Angela, but he's not trying to troll. If Angela is to look at Lex's surroundings through the tablet she will see that he is seated at a desk in a sleek, well furnished office.]

[visual]

[deniedthesight]

Or at least some that's not a few hours old.

[ she makes a little face at her mug again before turning her attention to lex, giving him a smile that's slightly embarrassed. ]

Are you new here?

[visual]

[luthoran]

I don't think the aliens will hold it against you if you make a new pot.

[He returns her smile with a slight one of his own. For a city Taxon was a pretty small world.]

Is it that easy to tell the new kid in class?

[visual]

[deniedthesight]

I may, in a minute or two. [ eating something would probably be a good idea too, since she hasn't since before she made the coffee. ]

And no, but I've been here for a while and you didn't look familiar. When'd you arrive?

[ visual | locked ]

[allthefunever]

Late night?

[ visual | locked ]

[deniedthesight]

Haven't pulled one in a while. Figured I was due.

[ visual | locked ]

[allthefunever]

With interesting reading material, no less. Were they out of Sodoku and romance novels?

[ visual | locked ]

[deniedthesight]

I was never a big Fabio fan.
