| Jet-Kyo | Name: Mason Steward |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:16 pm #10934 | |
| FurnitureKanon | Lance had shifted his gaze over the antique shop he’d been working here for little over a year now. The button-down shirt he was wearing, had been rolled up to his elbows and the well worn cover of Atlas Shrugged appeared ever so often over the counter. Work was slow, as was to be expected in the antique business. He was sure Mason was somewhere, running about doing something. The old gramophone in the corner played a solemn French tune, most likely left on by Mrs. Solcombe who had gone to town a few hours prior to the shop opening. |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:27 pm #10982 | |
| Jet-Kyo | ((ill intro the ghost later)) Mason hoped down from the roof, bouncing from in between the alley walls. He came in threw the back door, headphones blasting some metal song. He pushed the door open, “Hey! Mrs. Solcombe still here?” |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:27 pm #10987 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | Liz looked down at the peace of paper in hand makeing sure she had the right adress. She entered the antique shop and inhaled the musty-old smell. Nervously, she walked up to the counter. “Hello, I’m Liz Patricks. My brother told me this is the place ‘certain people’ go for work, and to advance in… other skills?” |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:31 pm #11001 | |
| Jet-Kyo | Mason laughed, “Yeah. That’s certainly a way to put it. Who’s your brother?” he asked. He looked her over, “You look like Velma.” he laughed again. “Lance, get her an app, I’m gonna get on the computer.” |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:33 pm #11014 | |
| FurnitureKanon | Lance sighed at the return of Mason, “Nah, she left an hour or so ago. She’s looking into a possible poltergeist on Sleepway Avenue.” At the ding of the bell above the door, Lance turned his attention to the newcomer. “Depends on what skills your speaking about. Speaking, seeing, being? Any of that seem like you?” |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:34 pm #11022 | |
| Jet-Kyo | “Being is the best!” he called from the back room. |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:39 pm #11046 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | OOC: Yo Jet-Kyo! Long time no RP! Its me PsychoBabble192. Always good to roleplay with a fimilar screen-name ^_^ “Seeing, definatly. My brothers name isn’t really important- he sent me here to make use of the, um, talent. Also my name is Liz, Liz Patricks.” |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:40 pm #11053 | |
| FurnitureKanon | At Mason’s comment, Lance rolled his eyes. “You seem a tad on the confused side, would you like to take a seat in the break room and have some tea, while we discuss the matters of your employment here?” the break room was the only really private room in the store. It’s furniture was antique as all the other furniture and objects were. Even the cash register was ancient, so the break room was no different. The deep mahogany chairs and dark wood side tables seemed to fir more into a wealthy woman’s parlor then in the break room, usually occupied by teenagers. |

| Elexea | OOC: Too late to join? |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:44 pm #11075 | |
| FurnitureKanon | OOC: never. Just post a sheet. |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:44 pm #11076 | |
| Beckie | OOC: I was wondering this too… |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:44 pm #11078 | |
| Jet-Kyo | ((PLEEZ join! we just started. and hi psycobable!)) Mason sat down in the break room and took a drink of tea. He liked drinking it. It made him feel like him and not like a shell that other people could just walk into. Yeah, it was cool being able to contact people like that, but it was taxing. He noticed Lance and Liz walk in and shot a wave. |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:44 pm #11082 | |
| FurnitureKanon | OOC: Go forth and post the ore the merrier. |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:48 pm #11100 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | “Yes, thank you.” She observed the amazeing room. “Wow… impressive.” she took a seat in a near-by chair. “Just for futer refence- I normally don’t follow men into the back rooms of their shops then drink tea they give me. Really, I am not that type of person under ordinary circumstances.” She smiled hopeing to break any tesion in the air. |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:50 pm #11111 | |
| Jet-Kyo | Mason was mid sip and ended up spraying tea back into his cup. He coughed a little, “Ok, ok. We don’t ask it normally either,” he smilled. |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:52 pm #11122 | |
| FurnitureKanon | “It’s not my shop. I just work here, and Mason here has years on me, I’d be more concerned about him. I’m Lance by the way, I am a speaker just a tad closer to the advanced side, but no where near as experienced as Mason. You have the sight? No possibility of speaking? Is it just static-y their voices, or silent?” Lance offered picking up a sheet of paper and pulling it over his book and clicking a pen, ready for her answers. |
| January 3, 2012 at 9:55 pm #11144 | |
| Elexea | Name: Jacqueline “Jack” Moore |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:01 pm #11171 | |
| Beckie | Name: Jessica Beauchenne |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:02 pm #11182 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | Liz laughed. “Right- beware of the jokester.” She smiled. “Uh, silent, but they often communicate in other ways. Like pointing to the chess pieces they want moved, pointing at words at a page in a book I hold up to them, or just body o ‘ghostly’ languge. Once I heard some static, but that was only right after the person died and it might have been anything.” trying to explain it as best she could. “I voulentried at a nurseing home so I’ve had some practice, but they fired my when they saw me playing chess by myself and makeing ‘final statements’ to the famlies of the deacesd, so not much practice.” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:04 pm #11194 | |
| FurnitureKanon | Lance suddenly came to his sense of decency. “Sorry I tend to babble quite a bit. Perhaps you’d like an explanation of what Mason and I are as well?” Lance offered dropping his pen. “Mason, have you seen Jack anywhere?”
|
| January 3, 2012 at 10:05 pm #11202 | |
| Jet-Kyo | “Huh..” Mason said, “I’m guessing they branded you a crazy person then..” he scratched his head and had another drink of tea. “I’ll wanna talk to you later, but I’m gonna go make sure the store is alright..” he calmly walked out of the room. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:06 pm #11206 | |
| Elexea | Jack clambered awkwardly off her bike, getting the hem of her jeans caught in the chain in her hurry. She was late. Again. She quickly fiddled with her bike lock and chained it to the post outside the book shop, before charging inside, making the door slam hard against the wall. “I’m here! I-I guh…” She bent double and wheezed. Jack made a mental note to stop ignoring her alarm clock. “Mason? Lance?” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:09 pm #11219 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | “Actually that would be rather helpful.”
|
| January 3, 2012 at 10:09 pm #11221 | |
| Jet-Kyo | Mason walked out just in time to see Jack clamoring into the doorway. “Your late again Jack,” Mason said, taking his headphones down off his ears, but turning it up louder. He leaned against the wall and sighed, “Your lucky I’m not such a stickler for this kind of thing.” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:10 pm #11229 | |
| Beckie | Jess Entered the door of a dusty looking antique place, laden with resumes, hoping to find a job. It was with a start that she realised that this place was full of the strance translucent beings that she’d taken to ignoring, none of her friends could see them… but even more than usual, it was crowded. She pushed her way through to the front desk and looked around for a person to hand a CV to. “Hello?” She called. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:13 pm #11243 | |
| FurnitureKanon | Lance looked up when his name was called. “Jack! We’re back in the break room. Well I am at least.” After this outburst he turned his attention back to Liz. ” I am a speaker, that means I can sense a spirit and I can talk to them. That static you hear on occasion is what I can translate into words.” He offered as an explanation . “Most people with the sight can’t hear it, Mason is his own flavor and it isn’t my place to tell you what he is.” Lance offered, when Mrs. Solcombe returns we can accept your application. You are free to stay and wander about and meter our little family.” Upon hearing the sound of the bell, Lance stood. “Excuse me, I’ll just get that.”
|
| January 3, 2012 at 10:13 pm #11244 | |
| Jet-Kyo | Mason saw the girl walking up to the front desk, she must’ve been a Sight Holder. He tapped her on the head, “There are two live people right next to you. My name’s Mason, I’m the manager here,” he said, taking another sip of tea. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:15 pm #11253 | |
| Elexea | “I know, I know.” Jack said, looking a bit embarrassed as she ruffled her short hair. “I just had a thing this morning. I won’t be late tomorrow, I promise.” There was no ‘thing’, there never was. She smiled when she heard Lance calling from the back. “I’ll be right with you. See you later, Mace.” She scurried away quickly, not looking to get in any more trouble. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:17 pm #11265 | |
| Beckie | “I’m Jess,” She said, “I came to enquire about whether you have a job available but wait, you know about the dead people? What are they? Why can only I see them? Is it because I’m strange?” She asked questions stumbling out of her mouth, she couldn’t quite believe that people knew about the other ones, the ones nobody else could see, the not “live” ones. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:20 pm #11277 | |
| FurnitureKanon | Lance upon seeing that Mason was handling the girl, returned to the break room. “Jack will be here shortly, she is very similar to yourself.” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:21 pm #11282 | |
| Jet-Kyo | “Hold on a sec back there!” he called, “Hey Jess. Yeah, we’d like to talk to you about that sight of yours. Those are ghosts.” he smiled. “Wait right here a second, please..” he began to walk to the break room, stopping only to say “Another Sight Holder,” to Lance. He sat down in front of Liz again, “Hey! I’m back. what were you guys talkin about?” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:21 pm #11284 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | Liz sipped her tea hearing the conversation in the other room. “Seems like I’m not the only newbie looking for a job today.” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:23 pm #11295 | |
| Jet-Kyo | “Nope. I’m actually surprised at the turnout,” said Mason, as he took out his MP3 to change songs. “If it helps, I can turn this off.” he pointed to his headphones before grabbing the pen and paper. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:23 pm #11298 | |
| Elexea | Jack stuck her head round the door of the break room and smiled. “Mornin’.” She stepped inside and started making coffee. “I think I’m dying…” Jack complained. “I’m Jack, by the way.” She told the new girl. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:31 pm #11332 | |
| Beckie | “Jess,” She looked Jack up and down, skeptically, “Pleased to meet you.” She said resignedly. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:32 pm #11334 | |
| Jet-Kyo | ((beckie, i spoke to you lol)) |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:33 pm #11341 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | “Hi, Liz.” She was a bit surpirsed (do to her previous situation) how nonchalant about eveything. “The other man said I should worry about you, Mr.Pervert.” Liz said at Mason playfully sipping her tea. “He said you take girls back her all the time.” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:35 pm #11354 | |
| Beckie | ((Oh! Sorry! I thought you were talking to Liz “You mean, there’s a name for what I can do?” Jess asked Mason
|
| January 3, 2012 at 10:38 pm #11376 | |
| Elexea | “Um… yes, you too.” Jack said, edging away from Jess. She looked intimidating, not Jack’s cup of tea at all. “Cool to meet you, Liz.” She went further into the break room now she had her coffee, and flopped into one of the chairs.
|
| January 3, 2012 at 10:45 pm #11419 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | “So how advanced are you? The other two told me they were pretty far ahad, but I don’t really know what that means.” giveing a confused look at Jack. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:47 pm #11427 | |
| Jet-Kyo | ((GOSH now im confused. who’s talking to who right now O.O)) |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:49 pm #11437 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | OOC: Im talking to jack, you’re talking to Jess. It got confuseing because both Jess and I thought you were talking to us eairlier. |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:52 pm #11448 | |
| Jet-Kyo | ((ok. i think i went into the break room though, which is why im confused….w/e so im talking to Jess now)) “Yes. We call what you do ‘Sigh Holding’. You can see ghosts. Do you ever hear any static type noises?” he asked, leaning against the wall, “Feel free to sit somewhere. and If you’d like, I can explain Lance’s power to. I’d rather just explain mine when we were all in the same place. I hate repeating myself.” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:54 pm #11457 | |
| Elexea | Jack laughed quietly and gulped her coffee. “Bigheads. They are pretty good though, Mason’s pretty amazing at what he does and Lance is getting advanced. I’m sort of… intermediate? I know what I’m doing, but I still screw up sometimes.” She watched Liz over the rim of her mug. “What’s your thing again? You’ve got the sight too, right?” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:55 pm #11460 | |
| Beckie | “Won’t I, like, break something though? Isn’t this an antique shop?” She asked, “But I would love you to explain to me why I can see creepy things that other people can’t, yes please!” |
| January 3, 2012 at 10:55 pm #11463 | |
| Katie's PsychoBabbling | OOC: You did, but then you sain you were talking to Jess so we got confuesd…. lets just pretend we’re all in the break room! |
