[struckout]

What?

[ Shit shit shit, it is way too late/early for this. This number is only known to a tiny handful of people at best, so... considering the randomness, Kallie might be totally mistaken on who this might be... ]

8'D

[earnedmystripes]

huh

[Heaven help you, Kallie. Social cues have long since gone completely out the window, and he honestly has no idea what you're asking him.]

[struckout]

Who is this?

[ Cutting straight to the chase, because even if she thinks she knows, she's not about to jump straight into said assumption without making sure first. ]

[earnedmystripes]

[...]

[This is actually, believe it or not, the second time tonight someone’s asked him this. This is also the second time that he’s uncertain who’s actually answered. It takes him a minute to reply, because he’d like not to misspell his own name four times again—so he types it out slowly and carefully.]

k o t e t s u

[yes, the spaces are intentional. They’re also mostly for his benefit; seeing straight leapt out the window after his motor coordination about an hour ago.]

[struckout]

[ Yeah, she... she has no idea who that is. 8| If he's ever mentioned his real name on the network before, it was either in a place she didn't see or was at some time she wasn't paying attention. She also pauses. She's not really, you know, a late night person, so her paranoia's behaving a little oddly. ]

You got a last name too?

[earnedmystripes]

[siiiiigh does he have to. trying to spell things right is haaaaard right now....]

I was told that you were in possession of a sentient lighter some time ago. Is that correct?

[Text; off her cellphone]

[struckout]

[ ... What's this about? Needless to say, with as chaotic as everything's been lately, Kallie is pretty on-edge; she just stares at the message for a little while before doing anything with it, wondering who may have 'told' this person that... ]

Yes?

[Text]

[lightsoflife]

Its current holder is giving the lighter to me to study. Can you tell me more about it? How you came to acquire it, anything odd it did, anything that might be of note.

[struckout]

Richard Locke?

[ Sort of a knee-jerk reaction once she's read the response, as is the following message not more than a few seconds later... ]

Is it still alive?

[lightsoflife]

It is, but I've been told it's much less dangerous than before.

[struckout]

[ ... Dang. Just... dang. ]

Probably. Originally there was a bunch of them. They set my house on fire. Twice.

[ voice; 13 nov ]

[struckout]

[ Continued from here.

By the time she's switched back to voice, Kallie's tone has gone dark, more than a little blurry with reluctance. She's definitely kicking herself by now, mentally chastising herself over not latching onto the signs that Sierra was another numbered when they first met. Of course, every tiny little thing seems terribly obvious in retrospect... ]

There's not really any guarantee it's secure, but... I haven't heard any evidence that it's not.

[ voice; 13 nov ]

[envisaging]

[ After a moment of indecision, Sierra switches to voice, too, for ease of use. It's faster, and, well. She may as well. It's not like she hasn't outted herself, here. ]

I've never used it before. I mean - I've never had the...reason.

[struckout]

It has its uses... I guess.

[ Yes good flawless response, not awkward or facing away from the elephant in the room at all. A+ Kallie. ]

[envisaging]

...I didn't realize you were...the other day, that's why you were zoning out, right?

[struckout]

[ -- Geez, she must have seemed like such an idiot, Kallie thinks. Not the kind of first impression she'd want with anyone, never mind... well, she can't decide if it's actually fortunate enough that she actually has a chance to explain now. Turns out this is pretty much intensely awkward either way. ]

I've- seen you before. In pulses.

[ Going back months, even. She lets out a long breath through her teeth, sweeping a hand through her hair in an unseen but no less agitated, self-conscious gesture. ]

That's why... I was acting like that.

[envisaging]

In...you have?

[ She'd seen the other girl that time, yes, but...that sounded like she'd seen her a lot. Pulses, plural.

Serah's not sure what to think, but... ]

It's okay. I - back then, when I saw you, I - well, you heard me telling Elly, didn't you?

[skycutter]

You up for an experiment?

text;

[struckout]

[ By this point, Kallie had more or less given up on getting any sort of willing conversation out of this one...... so when she 'signs on' the network and sees this, it's definitely a surprise to her. Is this a dream?

Of course, with everything else going on, she can't help but be a touch suspicious too, especially since last she knew he was kind of... working for Thunder Corp and all. She responds with distinct carefulness in mind. ]

What kind of experiment?

text;

[skycutter]

[Insert a gif of a bony, thin kid's left hand, Miles' obviously. For a few seconds nothing happens, until something does.

Something that can only be described as bright blue light appears without warning, swirling around his hand, until it dissipates like mist. And of course it goes on and on since it's a gif.]

Know what this is?

text;

[struckout]

[ There's nothing more than radio silence for a minute or three, as Kallie just kind of watches the image for a while- there's no recognition initially, but considering she has had some luck in the past with focusing on something until an Echo finally happens, coupled with her being pretty sure that she should know it given the context...

No luck, though. If there was ever an instance where Lightning saw such a thing simply being demonstrated like that rather than used, apparently it wasn't enough of a memory to come back to her just yet. ]

No. What does it do?

text;

[skycutter]

Beats me. That's why I was asking. Not like these ~magic~ things have a how-to guide or w/e.

text;

[struckout]

Well have you tried throwing it at something?

[ Silly Kallie, assuming that of course it should do something destructive. Of course! What other purpose might there be?

But hey, given this sudden opportunity, there is something she was already wondering about from earlier, after seeing what he'd had to say elsewhere on the network. Quick on the tails of the above (and before she can second guess asking it): ]

How are you able to control things like that?
