    She sighed. "All I'm looking for is information about how the city handles waste. You and your department aren't the focus of the article. It's background info, really." She cringed slightly at that, could be seen as insulting, but then plowed onwards. "So, can you help me?"

    "Okay, well first things first it depends on the waste we receive most people know for instance if we find a body in a dump truck we have to call the cops." The voice starts explaining.

    "Should we set up a meeting with all this. I think one of my managers is free for the afternoon."

    "No... I think she's an actress!" He replies clicking his fingers. "Really cheesy horror movies."

    Kira shrugs. "Maybe? I don't recognize her from anything. You should probably stop staring before she files a totally reasonable restraining order against you though."

    The date is going well. But now you realize there's someone staring at you!

    What do you do?

    Lisa smiled. "Superb. Lisa Anderson, I'll call by your offices around 3. Don't worry, I'm happy to wait a bit if necessary. Thank you."

    Once the conversation ended, Lisa sat back, relieved. It hadn't gone like she'd expected but she'd managed to achieve something at least. The complete failure earlier still concerned her but she was hoping to make it up in the afternoon. Checking the time, she figured she had a couple of hours before needing to pick up the take away for Avi and stop by the office. She resolved to spend the time doing some research online, getting a feel for the right questions to ask and up-to-speed with some of the terminology and acronyms.

    Naomi gives the guy a look to get the point across, then a soft chuckle, to make it seem like she doesn't mind nearly as much (though she definitely minds), and she refocuses on her date. "I gotta be honest, I didn't expect to be recognized. I haven't been in all that much."

    Scarlet grumbles a slightly sassy response without putting enough effort to actually form words into it, and takes her seat. She's prepared for a very boring day ahead of her.

    She groans. "I don't know what they were thinking with that one. I swear half the stuff I'm in is people throwing random crap at the wall to see what sticks. The original was decent, but they didn't exactly leave themselves room for a sequel, and the script suffered a lot from them trying to justify the movie's existence through exposition."

    You get some amount of info that the average citizen might not know, but a three hour cram session is not the best, and you get the impression the Wikipedia articles were vandalized.

    So now it's eleven and Avi's probably getting hungry, do you intend to get food?

    Not feeling much wiser after her "research", Lisa downed the dregs of her fourth cup of coffee and got ready to leave. She figured it was about time to pick up some food. She did a quick search on her phone for a well-rate Chinese take out they did lunch before grabbing her bag and leaving the coffee shop.

    She wasn't sure what Avi would be in the mood for, so bought a variety of smaller items along with a large order of won-tons. Parking in her usual spot, she lugged the bags of take out into the elevator and made her way up to the newspaper's floor.

    Kira raises her hands in surrender. "Alright, alright. I apologize for disparaging your good name." She turns to Naomi. "He'll only talk nonstop about it for roughly half as many hours as I implied with my previous statement." She says as picks her coffee back up for another sip.

    Lisa jumped slightly at being addressed, which was ridiculous since she hadn't been doing anything wrong - except perhaps not checking to see if anyone else wanted Chinese... Trying not to make the bags of food too obvious, she looked over at John. "Hey. Yeah, fruitless morning out - feels like I'd have had more luck in an actual field, cows and all." She paused, hearing what she'd just said. "Ok. That was stupid. Ignore me," she added, with a shake of her head. "Not a great morning."

    Taking a moment to look around, she focused on John again. "Much going on here, then?"

    @Scarlet.

    The class goes on. And on. And on.

    When it's finally about to end. You feel like.... Everything's a bit smaller then before. Your shirt seems a little tighter. The information that was fairly complicated. Now seems simple to you.

    What do you do?


    @ Naomi

    While you are on this date. With this stranger, and this other horror fan looking over at you.

    You feel... Malleable. Like your flesh is just waiting to shift,

    Oh.... And that french class you took in high school, that you can't remember. You can now remember every word of that class, and several you were sure you never learned.

    That's when a stunning, upper classly dressed blonde comes into the coffeehouse. She looked impatient, but the instance she meets your eyes, she walks over, and falls to her knees.

    ".... Um... hello miss.... I.... Please. Let me serve you. I am Rachel, one of the best attorneys in the city." She starts out grabbing your hand.

    "This happen often?" Your date responds.

    @ Brandon

    Hey, remember how everything about you sucked, besides you having a bit of charm, you couldn't even really use correctly.

    Well that was the old Brandon. Suddenly, the pretty heavy load in your hands, it's fairly light. Everything seems so obvious now, and it feels like you could run a mile.

    "Hey dude, didn't know you were into that larp ****, but put those ears away, we're on job." Mick remarks.

    @ Lisa

    You don't know why. You don't know how. But you are brimming with power. Power that aches to be released. Power that craves to be used to root out corruption.

    Also your coworker seems a bit shorter then before. Huh.

    "Not much, you've got the bigwigs talking about how short we are, while giving themselves ever bigger bonuses then last here, so the typical." John sighs rolling his eyes, he seems to not notice what's in the bag.

    @Kira

    So there's the actress. And some high dressed lady, declaring her eternal affection or whatever. The boys might have some more competition.

    But.... you've always been a perceptive gal. Suddenly. Everything seems brighter, more obvious, and... you can just feel.

    Your ears are pointed.... The hell?

    What do you do?

    Scarlet, looking at the teacher and waiting for her to turn her back, scurries out of the class. It was almost over anyway-they were just taking some last notes, who cares if she leaves a minute or two early?

    She heads for the bathroom, and looks at herself in the mirror. What the heck...? she says. She flexes a little, and feels... Perhaps not strong, by an objective measure, but much stronger than before. She closes her eyes a moment, and concentrates, trying to figure out what's going on.

    When she opens her eyes, she sees double. Two of herself, in the mirror, for four visible Scarlets. Um... both Scarlets say. What.

    Am I...? she adds, then tries to talk from just one mouth. I'm... the first Scarlet says. I'm dreaming. I have to be dreaming. Someone pinch me.

    Her other self reaches over and pinches her, hard, on the arm. Ow! she lets out. But... But that didn't-

    The door starts to open, and the first Scarlet runs into the bathroom, leaving the second standing, looking a little dumbfounded.

    "Scarlet see me after class!" The teacher yells at your retreating frame.

    Who pops in, is a blonde just over 5 and a half foot, really attractive girl.

    "Everything okay?" She asks seeming to pipe up on Scarlet's nervousness instantly. She starts checking herself out in the mirror. "Stalker troubles?" She asks giving Scarlet a leering gaze.

    What? No, just... Um... Scarlet says. I... I honestly have no idea what the matter is. Hey, quick question-you've seen me around, right? Do I look... Different, than usual?

    And, uh, I'm Scarlet. I don't think we've ever properly met,
    she adds.
