Snippet #2705104

The commotion had aroused the interest of someone nearby. Suddenly, everyone seemed to be forced to a standstill. Not by any mysterious power of force, or ominous appearance..but by a girl, leaning against the wall. She was dressed in a stark-white lab coat, not a scratch or scuff on it. The white glasses on her face, the observant nature of her gaze, and the device she was holding in her and all screamed "Scientist" to the group. The device was glowing a soft blue, and seemed to be what was holding them all in place like statues. With a small smirk, the girl brushed a bit of hair out of her face, and spoke to them. "So. Anyone mind telling me what all this is about?"

She walked among them, with the grace of a predator...and the smirk of one. "Anyone? Come on, don't be shy. I didn't freeze your lips." She folded her hands behind her back, standing mostly in front of them. It is worthy of noting, at this point in time, that the ghostly figures were unaffected. Whatever she had done, or was doing, was only affecting those of mortal flesh and blood. "Really, I'm interested. You've all caused such a ruckus, and made such a mess...why, I could hear it all the way from my workshop. So since you made me walk all the way over here, you might as well give some answers. Come come. Tell you what, you answer my questions and I'll answer yours. Undoubtedly you have at least one."
