[a few moments after sheila dings the bell, there's a coalescing of shadows from nearby, and out steps orion! they take their starlight c*ke and put it in their sleeve.]
Hello, Mrs. Hammond. How are you faring, after earlier?
A little annoyed, actually. Thanks for asking. I killed a guy and I didn't even get to feel the tingle before his body got up and walked off on its own.
[She has been ripped off. :( The worst. But also— she looks a little worried, all of a sudden?]
... I didn't bite him. I mean, I don't remember biting him. Did I bite him? I don't taste any blood in my mouth.
I wanted ammunition, you know, just in case I had a reason to be petty and vindictive later. But now I'm worried you don't know what a cereal is. Have you ever had cereal, Orion?
[ she will find that she has to reach pretty high! orion is actually pretty tall.
they allow themselves to be steered, though, before they seem to remember themselves and then go ahead and actually walk, shaking their head a little. ]
...I don't believe so? [ do they even know what lactose is? time will tell ]
[ they are not sad! Probably. also, they would be in the highest end of the height chart.
ah. to the question: ] …I do, yes. I am not familiar with many of the foods you all seem to enjoy, though. Perhaps a new experience will be enlightening.

You didn't, no. Rather, I think you may have attacked him with everything but your teeth... and Mr. Sieghart met his end through a window.
Does that assuage your worries some?
no subject
He's not somewhere I can get my hands on him, is he...?
no subject
[ wow ]
... Though, perhaps it could be related to your problem. Did you see which way that he went?
no subject
[... She pauses for a second, squinting.]
He left the theater, and I couldn't run after him, but there's a grave with his name on it now. So... The cemetery?
no subject
they make a thoughtful noise, crossing their arms. ]
....It does take some time to fill a grave up and pack the dirt completely, doesn't it?
no subject
no subject
It may be a good idea to look into it, Mrs. Hammond. If nothing else, better to check, no?
no subject
[She thinks, and then—]
Also, completely unrelated, do you have a favorite cereal brand?
[???]
no subject
Finally?
[ and then, the laugh fades as they tilt their head.
................
she may get the feeling that orion is not sure what that is? or they are thinking very, very hard. ]

oh n]

no subject
really thinking about this.
and eventually they shake their head. ] I...don't think I have, Mrs. Hammond.
no subject
[help.]
My graverobbing can wait. How would you like to experience your first bowl of cereal?
no subject
cautiously they nod. ]
I... think I'd like that. What is cereal, exactly...?
no subject
[She is now going to reach for their shoulder, to start steering them in direction of the restaurant.]
no subject

no subject
Anyway, as they walk, something occurs to her.]
Orion, do you normally eat?
no subject
ah. to the question: ] …I do, yes. I am not familiar with many of the foods you all seem to enjoy, though. Perhaps a new experience will be enlightening.
no subject
What do you normally eat, then? I doubt I can eat the same stuff as you, but you should tell me about it anyway.
no subject
...I like spicy food.
