4th Floor Common Room - Evening
Kiki is curled up on the couch, Jiji snoring beside her, with a notebook. She seems to be working on an essay, or maybe a poem, or both, but in reality she's more focused on the show on TV, The Adventures of Dixon Hill (Tonight's 2-hour special: Murder on the Occident Express).

He flops in a nearby chair. "Hey. How's things?"

Patrick Stewart, as Dixon Hill, has just replaced his revolver and is smoothing the brim on his fedora. "Man, but he is cool," Kiki adds.
no subject
"Yeah, I should be working on stuff, too, but... it's all good. I don't think I've seen Dixon HIll before, but he looks like a smooth mofo--er, character."
John lets a few more minutes go by before turning to Kiki. "Listen, um. I've got a question. Or a favor. Or something. I dunno. Do you know anything about seances?"

"Do you know anyone who'd know more about it, then? Cuz... yeah. Sorry do just be all 'seance' but... yeah."
John tries not to think about necromancy.

"I'm sorry I don't know anyone else, other than the other witches here in the school, who would be capable of it, but will you let me look into it? I can ask Aziraphale at the bookstore if he'll let me read the books in the cabinet on contacting the other side, and I might be able to find something useable."
Kiki pauses. "Come to think of it, have you talked to Aziraphale? I don't know how far his powers extend, but...he has a way of knowing things. Can you come by the store tomorrow?"
no subject
(woo! thanks for the kikihelp. One step closer to John freakin' out. :D)

"Mr. Aziraphale runs the used bookstore across from the park, near Wolfram and Hart," Kiki explains. "I work there, and I should be there tomorrow. Mr. Aziraphale is usually there, and sometimes his friend Mr. Crowley is there too. They both have extraordinary powers - you see, Mr. Crowley is a demon, and Mr. Aziraphale - he's an angel."
no subject
"So you think he could help me? Anyone else, offhand, that you can think of? Sorry, I'm interrupting your TV."
no subject
She sobers quickly. "As for others who can help? Mr. Aziraphale will surely do everything he can to help. It's not exactly Mr. Crowley's line of work to do the same," Kiki muses. "Who else have you talked to? Harry is a wizard, but he's got so many classes he can be difficult to get ahold of, I know...Lily Evans and her boyfriend Draco Malfoy. She seems nice enough, but I doubt you can expect any help from him. Paige, maybe, or Phoebe?" Kiki suggests.

"THanks for the heads up."

"Having a seance isn't so much waltzing into Hades and looking up a name in a file cabinet," Kiki confirms John's assessment, "it's rather more like calling out a phantom librarian to have them go in and find out for you."
no subject
"And yeah. I wonder if Draco's snark is genetic or something?"

Anth-Morporkanthropomorphic Death?! As a STUDENT!? What. The. Hell??" John wonders where teh hell he's been (and why he hadn't been paying attention in Shop class):D

He looked down at the book in her hand. "So do you want to go through with this, then? I mean, what all's involved?"
no subject
And also we already started playing the seance, heeh!" Kiki looks determined, and a little upset. "I'll try to see if Mr. Aziraphale will let us work this in his shop. It's less... disrupted than the dorms."no subject
since we're all starting and stuff. And I don't think that dorming it would be safe. Too distracting."no subject
"Whenever you are ready to come by is fine," she adds. "But after noon would probably be best, since it will give me time to prepare."
no subject
"I need a dashing hat like that."
no subject
Kiki gives John an encouraging smile. "I think every guy needs a fedora," she says.

"I," she says softly, "I should go." She closes her notebook and stands up. "I'm going to need some sleep to be ready for tomorrow," she swallows. Crossing the room, she pauses at the door. "I'll do my best, John, but... I can't make any promises, ok? Except that - I'll really try." She gives him a smile and a small nod of encouragement. "I'll see you tomorrow. Good night."

John watches about an hour more of the tube and leaves.
