AB Invesigative Services [Friday]

[outofbrooklyn.livejournal.com]

Aiden is sat at her desk spinning back and forth on her nice and clean (but still unhealthily squeaky)
chair and taking in her new office. She's alphabetised her books, cleaned every inch, and covered the board behind her in newspaper clippings of the DJ Pratt case. She's feeling more like a real PI every minute.

There's a smart printed sign taped in the window, Free Spy Pen, for everyone! because she sure isn't afraid to lure possible custom by offering free things.

Yes, Aiden does know that spies and detectives aren't the same thing. At all. She just doesn't really seem to care all that much. A gimmick is a gimmick, after all.

[ooc: It's actually open for business at last. Just in time for rampaging trolls and everything!]

On his way from the causeway to the school, Billy saw the sign in the window and went in, curiously.

"Spy Pen?"

Aiden spun one last time, so that she was actually facing the door and Billy. "Yup, no one can resist 'em."

She gestured at a large box in front of her desk, "Help yourself, kid." She says this, but she is of course watching out to make sure he only actually takes the one.

Billy picks up the pen and looks at it. "So, is it like, a homing device or something?"

Aiden smirked, "Now if I told'ya what it did, you wouldn't need to use your super-slueth prowess to figure it out. That's part of the point of the whole thing."

"Ahh," billy said, nodding. "That's kinda cool. Uhm, though I do have to ask, it's not gonna blow up on me is it?"

"You really think I'd be givin' out booby-trapped gifts to potential clients?" she asked with a quirk of an eyebrow.

"This is a strange island." billy said in way of explanation.

[outofbrooklyn.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, the island's strange," Aiden replied. "I, however, am not that strange. just remember that."

billy smirked slightly. "I dont' know," he said doubtfully. "Everyone here so far as I know has something about them out of the ordinary. Maybe that's your thing. Around here, being normal could be considered weird."

[outofbrooklyn.livejournal.com]

"In that case, I'm likin' this whole bein' weird thing," she replied. "It's been workin' pretty well for me so far."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Excellent, it's kind of refreshing actually."

[outofbrooklyn.livejournal.com]

Aiden grinned, "Glad to hear that. I got somethin' that most people here don't. Which, is actually pretty fun."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Just try not to let your brain break when you hear about some of the stuff goes on here."

[outofbrooklyn.livejournal.com]

"Too late," Aiden said, rolling her eyes and leaning back in her chair. "I was officially broken the moment I found out that having zombies playing in the local bar was perfectly normal."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah that was a new one on me too. There's nothing supernatural in my world. So far as I know."

[outofbrooklyn.livejournal.com]

"S'good to know I'm not the only one from a place where seeing dead things playing instuments and havin' their limbs taped back on daily just ain't a normal everyday kinda thing."

"Yeah the people around here seem to fall in one of three catagories. Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Horror."
