Dossier Twenty-one

[She appears in her fuzzy pink and white bathrobe and pajamas with a pattern of pandas on them. She's also wearing a pair of panda slippers, because really, who doesn't love panda slippers? A pair of safety goggles perch atop her head like a headband, and she's holding a pen and what looks like a clipboard with math homework attached to it. Unsurprisingly, her brother failed to make it home in time to take Henrietta to school; to make up for it, he promised she could stay with him at the lab over the weekend. It was well-meant. He wanted no harm to come to her.

But she was a curious child, and Heav & Hel Industries was far more than it seemed.]

Well, he tried, though.

Maybe?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Ah, the voice keeps saying other things.

[ghostlighter]

... what kind of other things?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Well... it keeps telling me where to go, and talking about-- [The further she got from her brother, the closer she was to danger, to forces the likes of which neither she nor her family had ever encountered before.] About that.

[ghostlighter]

[...]

You know, I think I have an easy solution to that.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Really?

[ghostlighter]

Yeah. Stay with Hei.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Oh. I su-- [DESPITE THE ADVICE of her brother, Henrietta's curiosity would always get the better of her.]

[ghostlighter]

[... GLARES UPWARD for a moment before he looks back down.] Or, hey, I could always come over myself. Hang around with you.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Ah, that might be nice. [Rubs her eye.] I wish he would stop talking. He's giving me a headache.

[ghostlighter]

A headache? [frowns; it's not really that loud or anything, is it?]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Frown] Chris? What's happening to us?

[ghostlighter]

What do you mean? ... Henrietta, you realize something is wrong with this?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Yes... Isn't everything? Or... [Ffff confused]

[ghostlighter]

Yes. [Kneels down to her.] Yes, this whole thing is... none of it's right.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

That voice keeps talking about Signore Crowley and Signore Aziraphale and saying how bad they are.

[ghostlighter]

Yeah, I've been hearing that part too. It's also been talking about how you, Hei and I are all... siblings.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. And about... about our parents dying.

[ghostlighter]

... right. That, too.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

You don't really resent me, right?

[ghostlighter]

... What? Of course I don't. Did the voice tell you that?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, on the first day when it started talking, remember?

[ghostlighter]

I was kind of distracted. [siiiigh] Just... know the truth. I don't, alright?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

I'm glad.
