Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:36 pm"I don't know. Do you have a reason to lie to me?"

Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:47 pm"You could be trying to distract me. You've never been clear about why you're here. I know you weren't here for me. I was just a happy accident." She crosses her arms, "I'm not saying I believe none of this. I'm saying you're not telling me everything, and I know it."

Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2017 11:49 pm"When it's important or helpful, people around here tend to, though I can't call it an 'everyone' thing."

Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 1:55 am"Why were you here hunting someone?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:06 am"Ask yourself this: how well do you know the other students here?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:08 am"I know several of them pretty well, but I don't know all of them. What's your point?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:12 am"If I were to tell you that someone got into something they shouldn't?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:14 am"I wouldn't be surprised. It seems to be a popular pastime around here, myself included."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:17 am"These things aren't without consequences."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:37 am"So someone here crossed your or interfered in your business?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:41 am"Not my business, but I am very good at finding people."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:42 am"So this is a mercenary gig for you, then."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 2:50 am"I do what I'm good at. Can you blame me?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:18 am"For doing what you're good at? I suppose not." She whirls to face Isolde, "For hunting someone here, though, I sure as hell can."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:26 am"All I had to do was find them. I can show restraint."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:36 am"So what did this person do?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:45 am"There are things asleep in the earth, in places the mind struggles to process."
"Most people could pass right by one of those cthonic dreamers and not even know it."
"That's for a reason. It's better they sleep."
"Most, but not all."

Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:53 am"So this person wandered somewhere they weren't supposed to and you were hunting them for someone. So, now that you found them, you're just prepared to sit back and watch the world burn?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 3:59 am"Oh, things won't burn. They'll just... change."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2017 1:53 pm"Ah, that's right. The lights going out. And you don't have a problem with that?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 7:23 pm"I've been fairly comfortable in the dark for some time. You?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 7:47 pm"Once upon a time, I might have been satisfied with the dark. But everyone needs some light now and then. Even you."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:15 pm"Do I, now? Light burns. Light scrutinizes. Light judges."
"The night has never needed any apologies of me."

Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:25 pm"In the dark you can tell yourself whatever shitty stories you want about your behavior and there's no one to tell you you're off-target. Sometimes that scrutiny is a good thing."
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 8:34 pm"So is that it now? I should be ashamed?"
Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:18 pm"Ashamed? Fuck no. Sometimes you do what you have to do. Your situation was rough and I can't say *I* would have done things differently given your circumstances. I honestly don't know." She shrugs, "But you have options now that weren't open to you then. But to take full advantage of those, you're going to have to allow some light into the dark places. Speaking from personal experience."

Re: Going for Walkies
Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 7:13 pm"Through the efforts and care of actually good people as opposed to the people who just claim they're being good. I had to rethink my approach to things and I won't claim to be finished on that road either. Call it a work-in-progress," she says with a half-smirk at Isolde.
