Cafeteria: A Light Lunch (Open)

[ASHLIE]

"Oh that's okay. I didn't mean to interrupt."

"I'm Ashlie." she adds, sitting down at the table.

Code: Select all

>> "What do you mean?"

[Benjamin Brant]

"Nah, you're not interrupting anything but me getting all full of myself for being born a fantastic night light."

"It's nice to meet you, miss," Ben says, "My name's Ben."

[Calvin Strong]

Cal just smirked, starting to run an active scan on the area.

Ashlie might notice him probing the school's systems, this time actively trying to access the hard-light projectors.

[ASHLIE]

The school systems (or what sits on the surface anyway) is about as secure as you'd suspect a system like that to be. Anything beyond that turns into code fragments and non-sense that doesn't seem to compile into anything that remotely makes sense. The hard-light systems don't even seem to show up anymore.

"That looked very pretty."

[Calvin Strong]

Code: Select all

>> Aw, come on, share the wealth.  I can't even scratch the surface down to them, how are you doing that?

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

>> "Down to whom?"

[Calvin Strong]

Code: Select all

Those hard-light projectors I found in the ceilings.  How'd you find the access to them?

[ASHLIE]

Code: Select all

>> "They just responded."

Meanwhile in the physical world Ashlie is eating, not showing any sign of the frantic processing happening in her central programming as she tries to figure out how much Cal knows.

"Aww, thanks," Ben says with a smile, "Wasn't a big deal though."

[Calvin Strong]

Code: Select all

>> Dammit, I thought I was getting good... I'm behind on my game, I guess.

[ASHLIE]

She nods. "Okay."

[Benjamin Brant]

"So, what about you, miss? What can you do?" Ben asks, "If you don't mind me asking, I mean."

[Haley Crusek]

Haley lifted his tray mentally, a smirk on her face. "I can do all sorts of things."

[Benjamin Brant]

"Now that, is nifty," Ben says, "Probably pretty useful too."

[Haley Crusek]

"When I can control it? Sure. When I get angry and break my room? Like...literally, the whole room....Not so much." she smirked, setting the tray down gently.

[Benjamin Brant]

"You broke your room? Holy cow," Ben says, "Remind me never to get you ticked off."

[Haley Crusek]

"I'm harmless," she smiled innocently. "Mostly,"

[Benjamin Brant]

"Good to hear," Ben says, smiling back, "I'd hate to think I was in danger."
