Elisoe laid on one of the couches, throwing a pair of fie into the air. Every time he caught them he would experience a vision. Whether it was the past, present, future or even in this dimension he didn't know. it was different people in different places. Maybe he was just imagining?

Henrietta walked out into her common room, carrying a purple laptop under her arm. She paused when she recognized a familiar face and walked over in front of him. "We meet again, it seems," She tittered a bit. "I am pleased to meet you again," She curtsied daintily even with the laptop in her arm. "What are you doing?"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Elisoe widened his eyes and sat up. he cleared his throat and answered," I'm not sure...I think i was gazing through space and time. Or imagining stuff. it's impossible to tell."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"So, you can predict the future?" Henrietta asked in slight disgust. "I never believed in anything like that. Knowing the future will not help you to win, after all. Only wit and luck," She took a seat beside him and opened up her laptop.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

"I can't predict the future, no. I dont know if what I saw was even real. it could be from the past or the present. it could be from another dimension. I literally can't tell." He watched the screen of the device turn on and studied the background image.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“I was curious. Mother told me there was a person in her old class who could predict the future. But he was only right thirty percent of the time or something,” She explained. Her laptop background was a picture of her proudly holding a trophy for a robotics tournament while her parents stood happily on either side.

"For all my odd magic abilities, I'm not sure I believe in clairvoyance. Maybe I just don't like the idea of some incorporeal force dictating my entire life."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Agreed. Clairvoyance is such a ludicrous ‘science’ anyway,” She tittered again and finished loading up her computer. After it finished loading, she pulled up a computer file and daintily begun typing on it.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Elisdeo smirked. "it's not a science, no...but I don't know if it's real magic or not." He glanced at her screen once in a while, not sure what she was even doing on it.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“About as close to real magic as one could become in my old world,” She sighed and noticed him staring. “Are you curious? I’m programming,”

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

"What are you doing exactly?" He sat up some. "I mena, I know what programming *is* or have an idea but like, what specifically?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"As in, what am I doing right this moment?" She asked curiously. "Freelance work. People pay me quite a bit to make websites for them. Old classmates of my parents and their friends are among my best customers," Henrietta smiled a bit. "I only work for those who can pay, of course,"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Elisode nodded. "Can't imagine why they'd need numerous websites but hey, I 'work' in a freaking casino. No judgement there."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"They only need one website, but I often have to make upgrades or repairs," She explained, twirling one of her curls around on her finger. She wore a gothic version of her father's old uniform that had a bunch of lace all around it. "I am the only one of them who is good at this. Which is not surprising at all. My father was the greatest programmer of his generation,"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Eliseo nodded. "I can work the computers at the casino but i have no idea how *they* work. I know it's not magic but it might as well be, if that makes sense."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"A lot of wires and things like that," She responded in disinterest, already in her programming zone.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

"I meant like the coding and programs and stuff..." He had little idea of what he wanted to really know.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Henrietta just ignored him since she was fully in her zone. She was typing so fast her fingers were a blur.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Eliseo grew annoyed and stood up to move around some.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

After a few more minutes, Henrietta stretched a bit and twirled one of her curls around on her finger, glancing up at Eliseo. "Where are you going? I thought somebody like you would be interested in watching moi work,"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Elisoe watched her play with her hair and blushed a bit. "Well yes but..I have no idea what you're doing so I'm rather confused."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"I am making a website, as I said," She turned the laptop around and showed him the screen. "You may take a look at it, if you would like,"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Eliseo returned to the couch, sitting close to Henrietta but not too close. His eyes darted across the screen, studying its content.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

The screen was a professionally-done webpage in a dull green colour featuring all kinds of mechanic services available. The page she was currently on showed the owner of the service, a grimey-looking guy in a very bright neon jumpsuit.

"Friend of my father's from school," She explained in a sickly-sweet tone. "He needed promotion for his services, so I made a website for him. Although, I would never actually talk to him in real life,"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

"What's wrong with the guy?" he asked casually. As he saw the person in their jumpsuit he narrowed his eyes. Who would wear something like that?

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"A lot of things." She said simply. "But he paid quite a lot of money for me to make a website for him, so..."

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

((Wait who is the friend?))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

((Souda lol))

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

((Crap I never saw this))

"Well, I suppose you shouldn't turn down clients if you need the money," he nodded. "Course we don't have to worry about such things. So long as they follow the rules."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Exactly. No matter my personal grievances with a client, as long as they pay, and pay me well, I will allow them to give me a service," Henrietta smiled sweetly at that.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

"That's quite professional of you." Eliseo sounded patronizing but was just trying to be nice to the girl.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She typed for a few more minutes before daintily closing her laptop and setting it on the couch beside her. She smoothed out her skirt. "I do believe I could use a break,"

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Eliseo watched her skirt ruffle beneath her smooth hands. Quickly he glanced away, trying to seem disinterested. "Do you want to go do something then?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Yes. Does the common room offer beverages such as tea? Or must I have someone fetch it for me? After programming I tend to feel quite parched,” She explained.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Elisoe blew a bit of air out while trying to think. "Um..there might be tea. Maybe. Or the stuff for brewing it. I don't drink it so I couldn't tell you."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She gasped daintily. “Never had tea before? It is one of the best things to drink! I prefer mine with milk and sugar in it,” She folded her hands up in her lap. “Mother prefers hers boiled with milk, but...do forgive me for being shrewd, but that was a spot we always disagreed on. I never liked it that way,”

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Elisoe gave a small smile as she moved her hands once again. he had no idea why but it was so cute when she did so. "Casinos..aren;t the place you go for tea," was all he said about the question. "But I'd like to try some with you!"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“Perfect! You will try it the way I like it first. Then you can try other ones,” She smiled, but made no other movements.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Eliseo blinked a few times. "So uh...does the cafe have this tea or something?" He wasn't sure why she made no moves.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

“I think so. They make anything you could possibly want, which is good for me. Because otherwise I would be miserable here!” She dramatically swooned with a hand on her forehead.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Eliseo extended his hand to hers, thr one not on her forehead.

"Then..let's go together. It'll be fun!"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Lead the way," Henrietta responded instead, daintily standing up and smoothing down her skirt.

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

Eliseo gently took her hand,, folding it in his as he guided her to a place for them to bond...

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

((Switch to the food court?))

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

((is there no cafe in town or Wisk Falls?))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

((There's a cafe in Wisk Falls yeah but it's in use lol))

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

((oh darn...))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

((Why can't they just go to the cafeteria? Lol))

[Hunter (Totally NOT a communist ☭), Mod of Vampirates]

((They can; it's just not as romantic as a cafe :P ))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

((Everything's romantic with Henrietta :P))
