[One teenage girl with long brown hair draped down the sides of her face is staring at her new phone incredulously. Her tone one of disbelief and sarcasm.]

"Don't worry, we're the [Insert air quotes here] 'good guys'"? Seriously? Talk about mega government conspiracies. I'm not buying any of that bullshit.

[There's a pause as she reaches for something off camera]

First thing's first, if anyone has a lighter I can borrow, I want to burn the shit out of this file. [she waves the back of her personnel file in front of the camera briefly] I don't know how they got my information but I'm not about to share it. And if someone can lend me enough cash for a flight to Los Angeles, it'll be great.

[she turns away from the phone, seemingly about to end her message before turning back]

Oh, right. If you're my roommate, I only have one rule: Don't touch my stuff.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, very nice. I can tell you've had a lot of practice.

[attractedtodarkness]

Leave me alone.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm not immune to propriety. Maybe if you ask nicely.

[attractedtodarkness]

That's rich coming from a douchebag.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Crude language is a common defensive mechanism.

[attractedtodarkness]

Psychoanalyzing people who aren't your patients makes you a dick. Are we done stating the obvious?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm looking to expand my clientele. I can't help it if you seem suitable.

[attractedtodarkness]

Find some other vulnerable little girl to play with.

[slightlyoffchilt]

They seem to be in short supply, or lacking the proper complexes.

[He clears his throat, aware of how unfortunate that sounded.]

I'm only trying to help.

[attractedtodarkness]

Could have fooled me.

[she's already decided she hates his guts]

[slightlyoffchilt]

[She has good instinct.]

I would rather be illuminating, than simply fooling. But of course, I can't simply order you to a psychiatric session. [Yet.]

[attractedtodarkness]

My dad's a psychiatrist. I know a hack when I see one.

[she's lying about the last part but she is sure as heck not giving him a chance to put her in a session]

[slightlyoffchilt]

[She lands a punch -- a hack! -- and he takes a moment to recover.]

You're projecting your own issues based on similarities.

[Shooting in the dark, but he has his ego to consider.]

[attractedtodarkness]

[That was a good shot still. Her frown deepens]

Like hell.
