Lena packed the pot away, unlocked the door and then hesitated. "Do you plan to work for them?" Alask thought about it for a second, then shook his head. “No, this seems too much like a guild to me, too much like a corporation instead of something I can feel a part of. It’ll probably follow into the trap most guilds do, to be honest.” He looked to her. “You?” Edited April 11, 2019 by I think I am here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silva Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 The people had since walked off. She'd caught sight of one the people she'd met with before, Alask. At least she was pretty sure that was his name. It had been a while. He probably didn't even remember her. Eve was the type of person that was either remembered vividly or forgotten completely, all dependent on the first impression. Her past few days hopefully were of the first. May, Frine, Zeken and countless others. People living under propped up tarps. No working plumbing. She wanted to believe they'd remember her. As an equal who happened to leave behind a bunch of green papers though. Nothing more. Because that's all she was. Someone ordinary with extraordinarily bad luck who wanted to help out others. Eve sighed softly. Bad luck wasn't strictly true. She had Light, even if the girl hadn't responded to any messages in a bit. There was probably some family thing going on. There were a lot of those by the Acutes. Either way, nothing now could change the past. She was here at Light's request without any more instruction than "show up to it, please." Was she supposed to offer funding? Three full inheritances meant she was rich, but there was no storming way she'd actually ever spend a broam of it on Investiture research. Unless it were researching how to rid the Cosmere of it. That she would finance to the most of her ability. Except PlasmaCore didn't appear to be on that side of the spectrum. More of the enthusiast sort. A shame really. It would have made her time there more beneficial than what she was doing currently. Standing. At the edge of a room in silence. Watching everyone's move.

Watching everyone's move. “I like watching people too,” came a whisper, from thin air. The Haunt has found the other conversation to be getting boring, quickly. But now, here was someone who was interesting. He could take that, at least. “But maybe for a different reason than you.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silva Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 4 minutes ago, I think I am here. said: “But maybe for a different reason than you.” "I like watching people too," someone whispered. Eve looked around to try to identify where the voice was coming from. Except there was no one in close proximity. It's the stress. she thought. You're imagining it. "But maybe for a different reason than you," the voice continued. There was still no one in nearby. The imagination theory was the more realistic one to accept. A part of her didn't want to though. The chance that it wasn't her hearing things was a pleasant thought. "Where are you?" she asked softly, giving in to the part of her. If it were her imagination, it would be better to not talk to herself loudly. But if it wasn't, she'd like to know where exactly this thing or being was.

"And I'm bad at following rules, accepting that someone can decide on the course of my life." "So no, I won't work for them, not a chance." Leaning over to him she added quietly.

Alask nodded. “I’ll just keep my hand in my pocket,” he said, looking towards the faucet. “And if they ever wonder who did that, they sure won’t be checking the men,” he smiled and walked near the door. “But I agree. Flickering eyes, shadows, all of it sure could’ve been seen by more than us.” He gulped. “I guess we’ll just have to hope it wasn’t.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alask laughed nervously in response, walking forward to the two people. He did. “Oh, hey Nekorb, and good morning, sir,” he said, nodding to Nekorb and the host. Lying. He could lie. “Don’t mind me, I was just walking to the bathroom when I accidentally entered the women’s bathroom,” he laughed a bit out of nervousness, disguising it as embarrassment. “But Lena here told me I was in the wrong place, so there’s that.” He looked to both of them, smiling. “How about you?” @xinoehp512 @Ark1002 On 12/04/2019 at 8:28 AM, Silva said: A part of her didn't want to though.

It was obviously false; he'd seen them walk in together, after all. Alask was hiding something, likely related to that ghostly form he'd seen on the day of the fight in the streets. Whatever it was, it was dangerous. Nekorb could understand why he wanted to keep it hidden. So he didn't challenge Alask's fib. Instead, he returned the smile. "I was looking for you.
