seven : a scary conversation [AUDIO]

[everylittlegirl]

[Hayley sighs a little, then sounds mostly disappointed. Those paying close attention can probably tell it masks a level of anger.]

Seriously? Is no one talking about the whole people getting murdered thing?

[ooc: Action for Superman is in first thread]

[100% Trek encrypted to: Clark]
[There's the longest pause before she speaks, extremely quiet and definitely scared.]

So I, uh.. was dead.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Lois]
[Her voice is mostly level when she messages Lois, but clearly hiding something less neutral.]

I know you and Clark tell each other everything, so whatever. I need some time off from the radio.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Bruce Banner]
You need to see something. Can you come over later?

[100% Trek encrypted to: Dick Grayson (comics)]
You know, you never actually told me who your family members are.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Jason Todd]
Tell me you're not too busy for a drink.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Maxwell Lord]
[There's a pause, then Hayley sounds more pleasant.]
Hey.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Chekov]
Will you help teach me how to encrypt things? I want to learn.

[100% Trek encrypted to: Loki]
What makes a soul any different from just like, memories and neurons and whatever?

[100% Trek encrypted to: Jor-El] - (added a short while later)
You have all the same powers Superman does, right?

[100% Trek encrypted to: Bruce Wayne] - (added a short while later)
I'm sorry, about work. I just need a few more days off and then I'll come back. Please?

[Assume she hasn't shown up the last week or so.]

[100% Trek encrypted to: Sabriel] - (added a short while later)
I want to learn magic.

[bolthead]

[Damn. That's something he should have caught.]

Do you know how many victims there were? And where the murders took place?

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[everylittlegirl]

At least two and no.

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[bolthead]

[Double damn. Literally. He could search the entire turtle in no time flat but the likelihood of finding anything if it's already been this long is slim to none.

Still, he has to try.]

How'd you hear about them then, if you don't mind me asking?

[He sincerely hopes it wasn't a friend of this person's that was murdered.]

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[everylittlegirl]

[A deep breath, then a sigh.]

I was one. I saw the other person come back.

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[bolthead]

[And in response? Just silence for a long moment.]

I'm so sorry. [He's died once before, but dying of one's own volition and being murdered are two vastly different things.] Are you alright now? As much as you can be, at least.

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[everylittlegirl]

Yeah, I'm fine. [The reply is quick and dismissive. She's not fine at all, but she doesn't even know his name. Admitting to her death was a calculated decision in the hopes of catching the asshole who did it.]

I just want someone to find him.

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[bolthead]

We'll find him.

[Quiet, calm. This might not be his particular area of expertise but he'll be damned if he sits around and does nothing about it.]

Do you remember anything about that day? Where you were and if there were any suspicious-looking people around?

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[everylittlegirl]

[A beat.] Or her.

[Her voice is distinctly tighter as she continues, naturally suspicious of him for asking. What if he's the one responsible?] No, I don't remember anything.

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[bolthead]

[He acknowledges the possibility of a female killer with an echoed 'or her'. It's unfortunate that she doesn't remember anything, but considering how much trauma dying and then being brought back can cause, he doesn't fault her in the least.]

I'll search around then, see what I can find. I'll let you know if I do find anything.

[There's an expectant pause at the end of his statement waiting for a name, but if she doesn't tell he won't push.]

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[everylittlegirl]

Thanks.

[Another pause.] Hayley.

[She says it with the same gap, an expectation of return.]

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[bolthead]

Hayley.

[Ordinarily he'd add something along the lines of "a pleasure to meet you" but that isn't really appropriate, not under these circumstances.]

I'm Barry. Barry Allen. I worked with the police department back home. I don't have any ties to the police force here though.

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[everylittlegirl]

I'll.. talk to you when you find something, I guess. Thanks.

voice; 100% Trek encrypted

[bolthead]

[His voice is a little softer when he says his last line.]

It's the least I can do. [He debates for a second if he should say more before settling on:] Stay safe.

[And he'll disconnect there so he can don the red and gold and do as much scouting as he can.]
