Aly now looked carefully at Ruby. That woman could talk, and boy did she love the sound of her own voice. But then again, she had been an actress. Aly wasn't the talkative type, which is why she probably got along really well with chatty people. She was following Ruby's train of thought through that verbal onslaught and got the feeling that Ruby too felt something amiss. She turned her gaze back to A.C. to see how she would react. A.C. had already mentioned her dislike of Psychics and Aly was interested to see how she would behave now.

((Well, she would react something like... this: neutral ))
Not so fast, Miss Ruby St. Claire. A.C. had the sudden vision of a saloon in the Old West, Ruby in a bright red dress and herself as the sheriff. Ya're a wunderful ac'triss, Miss Rubay, but ya're not gettin' away with a murder. She grinned.
"Uh-huh," she replied with good humor. "And I'm a flying purple people eater. But if it makes you happy, please, pretend!" A.C. shrugged. "A real psychic wouldn't say so after telling me all that and working out aloud that there's something weird about what I said to Miran." Not if she wanted me to believe it, anyway. She may very well be a psychic, looking to trick me or see if I CAN be tricked, and how. But it was more fun to act as if Ruby wasn't.
"As to knowing you and Miran before I met you... I've only ever heard of one person named Ruby, and your red hair and healing confirmed it. Sorry, I've never watched your movies." She decided not the mention that she also hadn't known about Arch. That Ruby had a lover, yes, but not that it was Arch himself. "And Miran is one of those... ah, how to put this." A.C. looked down, and after a moment she let out a sigh and went on, her voice slightly edged. "Miran is a self-styled Angel of Death. We were the first people to talk to him on that field and live. Soldiers and supers alike, he kills them, and the only testament to his existence besides the bodies has been what people can see through their binoculars. Someone recognized him at one point, and word spread. And... that's how I know him.
"And that really is it, Ms. St. Claire." With the last sentence, she fixed Ruby with a stare that brooked no argument. It was clear that, to A.C. at least, this interrogation was over.

"Not a zombie either, but I couldn't resist." Ruby shrugged. "An even if I was, It's always more fun to speek out an' watch a person's reaction to what you say. Never been one for waitin' an' watchin'. I like to get my suspicions out in the open, an' make it more of a group project." Whether AC was a spy or not, it didn't really matter to Ruby, there was nothing of particular value a spy could learn as a new recruit. But in general, Ruby had gotten what she wanted, a reaction, and her mind quickly calculated some ideas based on that reaction.

I feel like I just walked into a trap. She has a rather different sort of mind, doesn't she? I really wish I'd been trained for this.
A.C. simply nodded acknowledgement and waited.

Ruby took a very long and deep breath, counted to ten, and put on a smile. "If you both'd just walk through that metal detector lookin' thing, a guard fella will check your hands for chemicals, just like airport stuff, an there will be some mumbo jumbo blabbering or what not, and it'll be done. Won't take more'n five minutes. Then move on to the kitchen to get those brownies. If you need me, just give me a holler, on the intercom system, I'll be barefoot in the park-room....to mention a loved play."

Aly shrugged and grinned appologetically at Alloran, who indeed looked irritated. She walked through the metal detector, after taking off her katana and daggers. Then she held out her hands for a guard to examine. That part kind of tickled, and he was definitely holding her hand for far too long. She blabbed about mumbo jumbo and what-nots, and within 4 minutes and 55 seconds, she was done.

"'Ang on, you ain't done yet." Alloran grunted, leading them away, casting a glance at Ruby, grumbling inwardly that she was supposed to be helping too.
He led them to a door, which remained closed, and then he paused. A voice echoed in all of their minds.
"They are clean."
Alloran nodded his head, turning away from the door. "Alright, yer all free to go'n hang out with Ruby'r whatever. I don't care, just don't bother me."

Erica scooted close to the wall as Ruby walked past her to the elevator. She didn't need to touch her to feel the emotions she would constantly give off. She froze for a moment, as it seemed like Ruby looked her in the eyes before the elevator closed. After a moment she just assumed it was a fluke, and decided she'd head down to the kitchen to get one of those brownies too.

Ruby hadn't seen Erica, but her eyes did, and that's what was important. She scratched her shoulder, the bite-mark itching still. She headed to the park room, in no mood to join the other's for brownies, however bright her smile looked. Her eyes caught sight and documented the different defense systems on her way there.

Ghost shows up at the AA building looking very ragged like he had been through alot in the past few days... he leans against the door for a moment. He takes a few deep breaths and opens the door and walks right in... "ok then what to do first sleep or find someone to have some fun with..." he scratches his head then looks down at himself... "I should probably find a change of cloth mine are all bloody and messed up... and a shower is in order too..." Ghost wonders around for a little while till he finds Arch's room and snatches some clothes then finds an empty room and goes into the bathroom and showers up then changes he then makes his way back out feeling refreshed and a little better after his slave ordeal "He hold the slave neck piece in his hand looks down at it "um yeah..." he tosses it on the floor then goes to exploring taking it slow since he is still sore and hurt from his fight with Strike...
