Re: Part 3: Road to Nowhere
Darina watches you all intently, then she smiles in a devious, 'I've got a secret' sort of way.
"Alright then," she slips on her vans as she stands up and leans over the rail in a way that has a precarious effect on her modesty considering the shorts. "Miz K, can I use the back room?" she calls down to the woman behind the counter. The latter waves an assent without looking up from her book. Darina then straightens out and points to a door between two stack at the back of the second floor. "We can talk in there," and she leads the way.
Assuming everyone follows.
The backroom is set up with a table and comfy chairs, evidently for meetings or role-playing games. Once the others are in she closes the door, then leans with her back against it, melodramatically. "Okay, so I'm what we call a 'scanner.' I can make out emotions and sort of read what people are thinking, though that is much harder. Helps if I know them well, and I don't know any of you well, yet," she starts blurting it all out. "This room is shielded, like a Faraday cage. I don't know why Ms. Kavanaugh did that. The static at school was me, I can do that too. Short range, but I like to fuck with people and it was fun messing up everyone's cell service," she ends with a shrug.
