[Footsteps.]

[mumbling] Brr. Why's it so friggen cold?

[Sudden pause.]



...Hey. What's this? How'd that get here all of a sudden?

--Wha-?!

SON OF A BITCH!

[Heavy gunshots, glass shattering everywhere, then the dry click of an empty magazine clip.]

[Everything is silent except for her heavy breathing.]

Damnit!

Don't waste your bullets.

Too late.

And I was saving those bullets, damnit.

[ffff Just what he likes to hear.]

Elena-- What are you shooting at?

[voice]

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

[Catching her breath]

I...gasp...I don't know. Something jumped at me and I just reacted.

I think it was human-shaped, if that's any help.

[...]

Are you sure that wasn't your reflection?

[voice]

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

Oh very funny Reno!

There was no way that was my reflection. Something new is going down.

[voice]

[riotinstereo.livejournal.com]

Great. Some people are talking about ghosts now. Could be anything.

[voice]

[scales-shed.livejournal.com]

Get inside.

[voice]

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

What? Why? What's going on? And why are you giving me ord--

...

Fine.

[guanosine.livejournal.com]

Go inside you moron.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

What did you just call me?

I'm going, I'm going!

voice.

[todefydestiny.livejournal.com]

A-Are you all right?!

voice.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about me. I'm tougher than I look.

Anyway, it's gone now, whatever it was.

voice.

[todefydestiny.livejournal.com]

Look? [smile in tone, just slightly teasing, glad to be able to calm as it seems like she's all right and able to make some jokes]

That's good. Ah, why aren't you indoors? Unless, that was indoors?

voice.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

[Zomg it sounds like this guy is flirting with her. Ego boost, go!]

Oh right, you can't see me. [Pause] Well, you can imagine, can't you?

I'm heading inside now. I usually do work indoors, and it gets a little boring and stuffy sometimes, so I like to go for walks during the day. I just wasn't expecting something like this to happen.

voice.

[todefydestiny.livejournal.com]

I guess I can, yes.

Oh, I see. I liked to wander the city I used to live in, too. It was fun, discovering what else it had to offer. Also nice to know that others feel the same wandering urges I do.

voice.

[blonde-neophyte.livejournal.com]

[Grinning now]

Well it looks like we have something in common then. I'm Elena. Pleased to meet you, Mr--uh?

voice.

[todefydestiny.livejournal.com]

It does, yes. I'm Eike. And it's nice to meet you, Elena.
