I11DT - After Class

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 9:28 pm

While everyone files out of the classroom Ashlie stops (barely managing to not be entirely in the way) and stares off into the distance as she checks up on the crystal node growing under the construction site.

Nash was still copying stuff off the blackboard as the rest of the class files out. After finishing that and getting up to leave himself, he spots Ashlie staring out the window.

“Looking at something in particular?” he asks, as he walks over to look out the window himself.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 9:44 pm

"Oh! No, only checking my email."

by **Nash Riley** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 9:54 pm

Oh right, she can talk to computers with her mind.

“Kind be hard to see through all that fog I guess.” As he looks outside.

“So you couldn't wait to respond to that Nigerian prince that needs your help to transfer money?” Nash grins.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 9:56 pm

"Why would I help someone transfer money? That sounds like it'd be illegal." she misses the joke entirely.

by **Nash Riley** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 10:07 pm

I thought someone who talked to computers would be all over internet humor.

“It was a joke... about an old e-mail scam.”

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 10:11 pm

"Oh!" she chuckles. "Of course."

"I'm not good with jokes, but I'm working on it!" she smiles.

by **Nash Riley** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 10:22 pm

“A sense of humor is a good sense to work on.” he smiles back.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 10:28 pm

"Thanks! Sometimes it makes me feel a little stupid. I haven't been around people much."

by **Nash Riley** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 10:35 pm

“Yeah, I heard you had been a little sheltered before you came here, so don't feel to bad about it. I also heard you like lasers... or at least that you know good places to put them.” he grinned.

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 10:42 pm

"Oh? Who told you that?" she asks, sounding more curious than suspicious really.

by **Nash Riley** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 10:49 pm

“Professor Weaver, in a ways I guess. I was talking to her about the lighthouse they are rebuilding. I said if I was doing it I'd want to put in a giant laser in the lantern room. She then asked if I'd been talking to you.”

by **ASHLIE** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 10:54 pm

"Well it only makes sense. She said they're rebuilding it to protect the school and it already has a light-emitter at the top."

by **Nash Riley** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 11:10 pm

“Exactly. It is a 'light' house, and a laser is light. Makes perfect sense.”

"Do not suggest that to Miss Valentine." she advises.

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 7:48 pm

“The real witch girl? I didn't plan to.”

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 7:55 pm

"Real?"

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:02 pm

"Real as in she can actually do magic and stuff. As apposed to Raven, the fake wannabe witch girl. "

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:03 pm

"What makes Raven fake? She has a hat and everything."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:33 pm

“What does wearing a hat have to do with it. It is just a piece of cloth. Wearing a witch hat no more makes someone a witch then wearing a cowboy hat makes someone a cowboy. The hat doesn't automatically teach you how to ride horses, throw lassos, or wrangle cattle. You have to be trained in all that.”

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:37 pm

"Of course not, but it seems like an identifier. A badge? Why would she and Tommy wear them otherwise? If anything Miss Valentine should be wearing one too."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:52 pm

“Tommy doesn't know magic and knows he doesn't know it. His mutant power sort of resembles magic, turning lead into gold, but besides that he probably just wears the hat because he likes it. Raven on the other hand wants to be a witch and thinks she knows magic, but the only thing she can do that actually works is connected to her mutant powers as well. She may dress and try to act like a stereotypical witch, but she has never been trained in magic and doesn't know any of it.”

I'd be scared if she actually knew magic with as little common sense as she has

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:58 pm

"If I assume magic is real and I can't disprove it then I shouldn't deny her claim."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 9:15 pm

“So you don't really believe in magic?”

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 9:17 pm

"I think it must involve some mechanism that hasn't been properly explained."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 9:28 pm

“So you are looking for a scientific explanation for it then? Just because you don't understand how it works doesn't mean you have to believe in everyone that says they can do magic.”

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 9:31 pm

"No, but I should respect their wishes."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 9:58 pm

“Yeah, I guess.”

But, believing Raven can't do magic isn't exactly disrespecting her.

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:13 pm

"For what it's worth, I believe Miss Valentine agrees with you." she smiles.

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:29 pm

“So... new topic, what else do you like besides lasers?”

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:31 pm

"Oh, I spend a lot of time online, I guess. Just... looking at data streams. They're pretty."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 10:54 pm

“You can see data streams with your power? That must be interesting.”

by **ASHLIE** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 11:05 pm

"Kinda, I don't see them visually. They're just there."

by **Nash Riley** » Sat Feb 23, 2013 11:25 pm

“So, do you read the data in the streams or just look at all the ones and zeros... or what ever it is you are interpreting them as.”

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:33 am

"I just sense them. Like you see light and hear sounds. I don't think there's a proper word for it."

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 10:19 am

“I'll leave it at that then. So, with all that time looking at data streams do you get out much?”

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 11:02 am

"Oh, yes! I don't have to be inside to see them." she smiles, misunderstanding the question.

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 12:46 pm

“Um, that's not what I meant. I meant have you ever been away from the campus, like maybe down to Maldon, or I guess even walking around the further reaches of the estate. Also, at least how I was thinking of it, you'd be in those places to do something other than surfing the internet in your head.”

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:32 pm

"Oh. No... I don't really go out much in that sense..." she says, almost sounding a little nervous.

by **Nash Riley** » Sun Feb 24, 2013 2:30 pm

“You should try to get out more. You do have a physically noticeable mutation, but it shouldn't be too hard to hide. Then again, if your just going to be uncomfortable the whole time then there is really no point.”
