[Today, for the first time since your arrival, dark and angry clouds gather in the sky above to block out the sun. It is sweltering outside, so when those clouds eventually open up in the early afternoon, showering everyone with cool rain, rolling thunder, and a few flashes of lightning. . . it probably feels good!]

[It seems to be normal rain, for the most part. Look at it from the wrong angle and some if it may seem to be tinted red, like blood. And sometimes, when a drop spatters against the ground, a spider lily suddenly blossoms in its place. The flower dies almost immediately upon springing to life, its petals dissolving into dust that is quickly washed away by the rest of the water]

[dwbi]

[. . . things have been awfully quiet since your arrival. It feels almost a bit like the calm before the storm, doesn't it? Are you still waiting for that other shoe to drop. . .?]

[What else are you up to today!]

[blessed are the direct ones, honestly.]

Ahh... I just stayed up far too late last night. My apologies.

[mogger]

Don't tell me you've been having nightmares too.

[presgarddihellis]

... no. I was out looking at the stars last night.

Though I'm not a stranger to nightmares... actually, I tend to analyze them a bit much since I used to do dream readings back home.

[mogger]

What, to see if you recognize 'em or anything?

[ tilts her head ]

Dream readings? Like, you interpreted them for other people?

[presgarddihellis]

There can be hidden messages in dreams.

Sometimes, it's just your mind processing things. Sometimes... well, entities of various natures can play with hints and the like in dreams.

But yes, I've interpreted dreams for people before.

[mogger]

Where do ya learn to do something like that?

[presgarddihellis]

It's a skill I obtained from a potion--well, the accuracy of my readings is.

I actually used to be part of a divination club. So I learned a lot of things there, also.

[mogger]

Never heard of any potion that could do that.

[ raises an eyebrow ]

So you did that for a living or what?

[presgarddihellis]

The potions are unique to that world I came from.

And it was a hobby, so to speak. [Technically, a way to digest that potion...] But I have used the skill in my actual work before.

[mogger]

Bummer.

[ she wouldn't mind trying one of those potions... if it also granted hp ]

And what's that?

[presgarddihellis]

[Yuffie for Marauder Pathway don't at me.]

Well... I've had several professions, actually.

[mogger]

'Cause you're old?

[ rude ]

[presgarddihellis]

[... it's finally happened...]

Actually, I had five professions in three years, so it's not really about age.

[mogger]

Oh, ya just can't pick? Why's that?

[presgarddihellis]

You certainly have a lot of questions...

[mogger]

Apparently having an inquisitive mind around here is great.

[ guess which detective told her that ]

[presgarddihellis]

[... he has suspicions of who said this.]

In this case, it's less that I couldn't pick and more that that's just the direction things went.

[mogger]

[ a mystery for the greats ]

So life happened or something? I getcha.

[presgarddihellis]

Life happened very much.

[all the time. so much.]

[mogger]

So what's your job now? Before you ended up here, I mean.

[presgarddihellis]

[... how should he even put this...]

Security Management.

[mogger]

Meaninnnnnng?

[presgarddihellis]

I managed security.

[mogger]

That doesn't tell me anything!

[presgarddihellis]

That may be the point. I can't manage security if people know how the security is managed.
