Room 116: My Imaginary Friend

Built on the Braddock Estate not far from the Manor, these were constructed for the university's benefit to help house the student population.

Room 116: My Imaginary Friend

Postby Sean Hall » Fri Aug 11, 2017 2:09 pm

Sean walked with Hannah down the hallway towards Sam's room.

"So... I suppose you just stand next to me and try to draw attention to yourself," Sean said as they were walking up to Sam's door.

"So you don't have to acknowledge me and look crazy if she can't see me?" she asks, managing to make it sound more curious than bitter.

"Yes and well, not think I'm more crazy than she likely already thinks I am," Sean sad, "The magic thing makes most people wonder already."

Sean paused and then knocked on Sam's door.

"Just a second, Sean!" Comes Sam's muffled voice from inside.

How she knew isn't immediately obvious, but there's a vague impression of feathers brushing past them.

Footsteps are heard and Sam goes to open the door.

On the other side of the door she finds Sean, as her telepathy has already told her. Next to him is nothing. Although it's a very peculiar spot of nothing that feels like there should be something there. It's really a number of things, for starters Sean is standing slightly to the side as if he he's one of two people standing in front of the door and along with his body language and his mental impression Sam just kind of knows that he's not alone. But aside from that there's another, deeper feeling that's nagging her. Like something about the empty spot next to Sean just isn't right, some kind of presence that doesn't belong.

Meanwhile Hannah's eyes go wide when Sam opens the door. "Whoa... who is she?" she can't help herself but ask and when it becomes clear that Sam's eyes aren't focusing on her she takes a step forward and leans in close, waving her hand in front of Sam's eyes while still looking at her in what can only be called awe. The words don't quite reach Sam's ears, but she can hear something, like a distant howling of the wind or a voice echoing far away in a tunnel.

"Hi Sam," Sean says once Sam opened the door. He had a slightly awkward smile seeing as well he wasn't sure what was about to happen.

"What's... what's going on here?" Sam asks, confusion playing over her features as she looks beside Sean.

The flock are everywhere, probing around her like she's picking at a loose thread, trying hard to figure out just what's there.

Sean looked over at Hannah.

"I'm pretty sure she's not made of-," Sean said before stopping himself and looking back at Sam, "This is going to sound more bloody ridiculous than usual, but I may have used magic to pull somebody between dimensions because... well, I thought they were in trouble at the time and I'm not entirely sure if they're...uh, visible."

"Yeah she is, look!" Reaching out Hannah tries to grab a hold of one of the ravens. It passes right through her fingers, but that definitely gets Sam's attention. For a moment the translucent image of a blonde girl hangs in the air and for a split second Sam's instincts tell her to peck her apart with hundreds of beaks.

"She more than sees them," Sam says, stiffening as the flock bristles, hundreds of eyes turned towards Hannah.

"...and now I can see her," she grits her teeth.

"She shouldn't be here, Sean."

"Rude. I am right here, you know." Hannah points out. And as much as she feels like she should be fodder for the Ravens and dragged off to... elsewhere, she did make contact with that Raven without even the hint of any telepathic link whatsoever.

"No more odd that she's there but not there. Or that she can touch them. Or that I feel like I should... never mind."

"Glad to be helpful." Hannah says, giving two thumbs-up, pretending to handle this better than she really is with a crooked smile. "But, uhm... yeah. I'm Hannah, serial victim? Penultimate Girl? Something like that."

Hannah puts on bit of a 'whelp' smile. It's obvious that her existence is kind of inconvenient, even if she's not really sure why.

"If you're gonna psychopomp me then you're a little late to the party." she says before realizing she probably shouldn't antagonize the Raven-Lady too much and takes half a step backwards. "And if that place he pulled me from is supposed to be the afterlife I'm sure as hell not going back there."
