Look, kid, I know you're kinda hoping Simon'll show up here. Or any of them, but he's the one we ran into sometimes back at the old site. [ fiddles with her lighter ] Fact is, it's been a couple years, his mun's probably lost interest. You should understand that well enough.

Just don't hold your breath's all I'm saying. It's hard enough to find people who'd consider picking any of the boys up among your friends - why do you think these folks you don't know'll be any different?

People you don't know can be very different to the people you know. I once met a woman who could vomit snakes. Or she said She could.

[onlywannaknow]

...That's kind of horrifying. This coming from someone who... lives in hell half the time. Literal hell. She could vomit snakes?

[notaseeress]

Yeah. She was a witch. A weird witch, she specialised in dark magic so... I guess it's only to be expected?

[He laughs. He's only talking in her vague direction being blind and all.]

I'm sorry- I'm Alex.

[onlywannaknow]

[ Hey, blind people, they were apparently all over the place back in the day in Galilee and Jerusalem, so no big. ]

Well, I guess that's a fair point. I wasn't really aware magic worked like that. Or at all. But I'm just one woman, I only know so much.

Judas. Pleasure.

[notaseeress]

... So if you're Judas and you live in hell 50% of the time... are you the actual Judas?

[He had to ask. Because he enjoys meeting people from history. It's a seer thing.]

[onlywannaknow]

Not 50% exactly. Probably closer to 75%, honestly, but it's all semantics at this point.

[ sigh, resigned. One day she'll meet someone who doesn't know that name. ] Well, I'm Judas, and I'm an actual person, so all signs point to yes. If you mean the infamous "betrayer of Christ" [ grimace ] then yes, I'm that too. Technically.

[notaseeress]

Huh! Neat.

[And then topic change because that's all he needed to know.]

Well I hope you can find some of the people you're talking about. Maybe the futures bright.

[He grins at her.]

[onlywannaknow]

[ ...she's not sure if she wants to congratulate him on that flawless segue or stand here being shocked that "neat" is the entirety of his reaction to learning she's a figure from history.

In the end, she decides on neither, just shaking her head a bit. ]

Unlikely. But then, I'm a bit of a pessimist. [ to put it lightly ]

[notaseeress]

[He grins at her.]

I'm kind of hungry. Wanna go get some lunch?

[Cause you know. She might be a pretty girl and he's 14. Plus he's blind. Sympathy card is awesome.]

I could do with the company. I know a nice fish and chips place if you're into that. [Cause British kid has obsession with British food.]

[onlywannaknow]

[ Is he HITTING on her? In a sort of innocent and harmless way, but seriously?

That's almost cute. ]

...You know what, sure, why not. Fish and chips are always good.

[ What in the world is her life. Or, afterlife, as it were. ]

[notaseeress]

[He is cute.]

Awesome. [He lifts his cane and clicks his way forward.]

I promise you this will be the best thing you eat. It took me ages to find this place. I had a vision about it when I was little and it took me six years to catch up and actually find it.

Oh, I'm sure there are more than a few Simons online. Which one are you referring to?
