Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes, actually... I seem to have inheritted and unusual, and to be frank, morbid and disturbing gift." He replied, looking to Roxanna, "I assume this is the reason for your visit."

While everyone was off having fun, Kat was stuck in the apartment, and bored, with very little to do. With her hair dried she walked over to the television, assuming there was one, and turned it on, calling Rex over to sit by her.

As the news started up she noted the big story: the explosion at the school. Her eyes widened slightly and her thoughts immediately went to the Coach and Sam, especially when a mention of an unidentified body was found outside the explosion in the control room. She grabbed her phone and tried calling Jeffery again, quietly muttering "pick up pick up pick up," as the phone rang.

Nodding, she waited till he had left the room before flopping down on the biggest couch in the room. A second thought about maybe not smoking in someone's house passed her mind, before she spotted numerous ash trays on tables and such around the room.

A long exhale escaped her before lighting her cigarette. She attempted to keep her joyful relief to a low as to not levitate random, expensive-looking things around the room by mistake. Having already come to the conclusion this was probably gonna get even more strange, she waited patiently for men in SWAT get-up to come busting through the windows, or for ET to grab her a margarita. Olivia just hoped her Calculus teacher wouldn't be too mad that she was currently missing class.

Lou entered the room after a long moment, eying Oliva.
"Who are you?" He growled, crossing his arms across his chest.

Marcus inhaled sharply, drumming on the table.
"My power, in a nutshell... Is manipulation of dead things. To make them into things like Lou. That's what Lou is- A couple of dead people made living again. Not living like resurrection... I can't bring someone back to life as they were... When I do it... It's like glorified zombification, really.. And it... I don't like it. At all." Marcus leaned back, setting down the cup, "It's... Disturbing. And violates everything I ever learned about sanctity of the dead... But, Lou and I share minds... I can see, hear, and speak through him, if I need to. I know, right now, a young girl working in one of my outposts is sitting in my sitting room, happily enjoying a cigarette. If I need to, I can take control of him, and carry out tasks using him as my body... It's... Terrible and very, very bizzare." Marcus chuckled, shaking his head slowly, "You must think me some sort of monster, Roxanna..."

Startled, she jumped a little and whirled her head to look behind her. Now, she'd seen Mr Shipp's body guard, Lou, a few times in passing, but never this close. Olivia never had to look up at many people due to her height, but this guy was a good foot taller. His skin was a patchy and marred, almost rubbery.

Wondering if he bathed in chemicals as a weird fetish or cause it made him more menacing, she stood up and stepped back a few feet. She liked him a little better when he was across a large room rather than a few feet away.

"Yeah, you're Lou I'm guessing?" grinning nervously, she hastily put out her cigarette in the nearest ash tray, before clearing her throat, "Ummm the older man with the accent said you'd show me to Mr Shipp?"

Another unsure smile and a thumbs up, she followed the tall, ominous man, making sure to grab her smokes as she went.

After no answer the second time, Kat closed her phone and headed for the door. She grabbed her coat, and didn't bother giving an explanation on where she was going as she set out the door and to the elevator.
