Statements to the contrary, Theresa had changed her mind about a trip to London when she'd caught the news. Now she walking around Maldon, doing mostly window shopping. She stopped in front of a shop window, looking at the contents without really seeing them.

((Open))

"Anything in particular you're looking for?" a voice came from behind.

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2015 6:41 pm**

"World peace?" Theresa said, recognizing the voice and glancing over her shoulder with a smile.

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2015 6:47 pm**

"I think you have to go to a larger store for that one."

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2015 6:59 pm**

"Yeah, it doesn't seem like the sort of thing they'd carry," she said. "How are you doing?"

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2015 10:31 pm**

"I'm...."

She paused.

"I'm alright."

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2015 10:33 pm**

"I can't tell if you're hedging or if you're actually alright," Theresa chuckled. "If it's the latter, good for you."

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2015 10:52 pm**

"I think I actually AM ok, though it is hard to tell sometimes.

And you?"

Posted: **Thu Jan 29, 2015 11:02 pm**

"Heading towards fine. College life is rough."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 1:25 am**

"Is it? I suppose, though it could be worse."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 9:01 am**

"Well, compare to high school, I mean. It's a whole different experience."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 2:57 pm**

"I never went to high school, but I remember not fitting in when I was there," she nodded.

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 2:59 pm**

"So how do you... is this another one of those cosmic things?"

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:27 pm**

"All of the hosts' memories are in here, somewhere," she said, tapping the side of her head.

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 5:47 pm**

Theresa nodded, sort of making sense of it. "I suppose that gets confusing every now and then."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 6:07 pm**

"Not...well, I suppose it can be, when speaking with...people."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 6:21 pm**

"All people or just certain people?"

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 8:40 pm**

"Just...people people. It's hard without the common frame of reference. Do you know what I mean?"

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 9:07 pm**

"A bit," she nodded, "Even we humans have that communication problems when our frame of references don't meet."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 9:25 pm**

"It's like, something you assume is normal might as well be in an alien language to other people."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 9:28 pm**

"Yeah, I get that way more than you probably know."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 9:33 pm**

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 9:43 pm**

"Just petty shit, even by my admittedly low standards, but trying to explain my hobbies to other people. Hell, explaining how my power works is easier than that sometimes."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 10:18 pm**

"What sorts of hobbies?"

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 10:19 pm**

"Computer games mainly, though I've been doing less of that lately."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 10:19 pm**

"Why? Games are an important diversion."

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 10:25 pm**

"Not as much time and since last summer I kind of hate feeling cooped up too."

Posted: **Sat Jan 31, 2015 12:53 am**

"Is that why you're out and about today?"

Posted: **Sat Jan 31, 2015 10:07 am**

She nodded. "I needed to get out of the school's confines a bit. Online shopping just isn't the same."

Posted: **Sat Jan 31, 2015 5:04 pm**

"What are you buying?"

Posted: **Sat Jan 31, 2015 5:30 pm**

"Nothing yet. Clothes probably eventually."

Posted: **Sat Jan 31, 2015 10:35 pm**

"Would you mind terribly if I tagged along?"

Posted: **Sat Jan 31, 2015 10:38 pm**

"Of course not, I could probably use the company. Anything in particular you're looking for?"

Posted: **Sat Jan 31, 2015 10:46 pm**

"Yes and no. I suppose I'll know it when I see it.

It's for a gift."

Posted: **Sat Jan 31, 2015 10:50 pm**

"Sounds good. I should probably hunt down a gift for someone myself, though she's not really a clothes person, so we may swing by a book store."

Posted: **Sun Feb 01, 2015 7:05 pm**

"That will work, too."
