Computer lab, Saturday evening

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia came in and immediately sat down at one of the computers, switching on the monitor and calling up a search engine.

Then she stared at it.

What the heck was she supposed to search for? Oh hell.

Speech eating demons

[ooc: not expecting to find anything on internet, but seemed IC to try. Open for those who talked to Nadia about research, or those who wander in. Just to let you know, Nadia's getting pretty harsh news (entirely un Hush plot related) in this post.]

Comments

Walter went to stand by the windows, watching outside rather than ineffectually tapping at the computer.

Nadia scrolled through the list Google had called up.

She shook her head. No! Not anger-eating, speech eating!

Walter glanced away from the window and moved to be able to read over her shoulder while still watching outside.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia scowled. Putting quotations around it didn't bring up anything. Time to try something else.

Santa Claus demon

Walter glanced at that one and snickered. Silently.

He went over and wrote for her, Try demon and mute?

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia tried it and started skimming it again. Her email program beeped quietly in the background, trying to tell her she had a new message.

Walter squinted, closed his left eye and skimmed for a few minutes before turning away to look outside.

Nadia got sick of the soft beeping and angrily clicked the icon to open the email.

A short time later, any sounds, the tapping of her foot, clicking of the mouse, soft breaths, fell silent.

No,

Cally wandered in and waved. She wasn't exactly research girl, but it wouldn't hurt.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia waved back, calling up her email program automatically and logging in. While she was here, she might as well multi-task.

Cally sat down next to Nadia and opened up a search browser.

Surprisingly Santa Claus Heart Demons (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=santa+claus+heart+demons&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-web-t&x=wrt) doesn't come up with anything useful.

Nadia went quiet as she read an email.

This was the last thing she needed.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally sadly couldn't really notice that Nadia went quiet, but she could see her expression when she turned.

She nudged Nadia gently. 'You okay?' she mouthed.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shook her head, wondering if Cally read Spanish.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally looked at Nadia's screen, had no idea what it said, and turned back to her. She was about to ask her if she wanted to talk about, but then realized the futility.

She pulled out her notebook.

Anything I can do?

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter waved back from his place at the window.

Pippi flounced in.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked up and offered Pippi a weak smile.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi returned the smile, she'd been a while in the common room talking with people. Trying to drum up more info.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged, then shook her head.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked and typed demon monkey into Google.

Pippi laughed silently and shook her head.

Jamie poked his head in briefly into the computer lab looking a little worried.

Not seeing the person he was looking for he gave Nadia a distracted wave before heading off elsewhere.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia waved back, just as distractedly.
