Luci Simonetti

"Oh hush, if I admitted that out loud you'd get an ego."

Lucia Wright

"I already have an ego, we all do," she said with a snicker.

Luci Simonetti

"Well then I'd just make your ego worse."

Lucia Wright

"More like for the better," she argued, "not for the worse."

Luci Simonetti

"Nah, I think you have enough ego. Last thing I need is for you to be as egotistical as Will."

Lucia Wright

"Will?" She echoed, "who's that?"

Luci Simonetti

"Oh... a friend... assassin... friend... annoying. Yeah, you get the point."

Lucia Wright

"A student?" She asked, curious. "Say...remind me what we're looking for again?"

Luci Simonetti

"Files. Files I want you to analyze."

Lucia Wright

"I'm surprised you don't have a system of retrieval. Like you press a button and the files come to you," she breathed out, "why me?"

Luci Simonetti

"Oh, I do. But sometimes I do this—walk around in the computer room I mean. Keeps me calm when I'm stressed. Sometimes it's just for exercise," he explained, snatching a block of white numbers, a White Blood Cell, and studying it. "Well, it's... practice. I'm thinking about making you second in command in the Rebel Organization. I need you to have a specific set of skills. If you can't analyze or translate documents, that's going to be a huge problem." After a few seconds, he found something horrifyingly shocking. Slowly his eyes widened and he drew a sharp intake of breath. "Someone's been tampering with the WBCs. No... Someone's... *here*."

Lucia Wright

She stopped, her hand almost pulling away but she stopped herself in time, "*what?* If you get me killed, Luci, I swear to god. Do you know who it is?"

Luci Simonetti

"Chill, chill. You freaking out will *not* help my concentration. And *no*, not yet. If I knew who it was, I would've said it," he muttered. "I'm going to let go of your hand to check the surveillance system I set up here. Stay here. Don't move an inch. Got it?"

Lucia Wright

"You only needed to tell me that once," she said with a frown.

Luci Simonetti

"You don't understand how dangerous this place is. I've barely told you a fraction of the security measures put in here. I just... don't want you to disappear forever... and stuff."

Lucia Wright

"I won't move, I promise," she insisted.

Luci Simonetti

Slowly, he let go of her hand. He exhaled, expanding the data of the WBC and checking the CCTV and virus traces. "...Lucia, you remember that spell right. The one we did in Basic Charms?"

Lucia Wright

"Of course," she said, her nose crinkling slightly as she stared at him.

Luci Simonetti

"Do it, quietly, right now and tell me what you see," he instructed.

Lucia Wright

She muttered the spell and it spread out across them and her eyes scoured the place. "I see..."

Luci Simonetti

Blue highlighted the plane of an endless room of code, illuminating a single figure in the darkness and numbers, and attaching a name tag to it that read quite clearly: **COURTNEY SACRISE**. "...Yeah?"

Lucia Wright

"You ever heard of a Courtney Sacrise?"

Luci Simonetti

"...Fuck," was all he said. "I'm getting you out of here. We can do this later. You're not supposed to... this wasn't... ugh. I can't have this happening here, not now." He grabbed Lucia's shoulders and gently shook her. "Follow the WBC okay? It'll take you out."

Lucia Wright

She pushed him off. "Who the hell do you think you are?" She growled, "dragging me in here, telling me what to do. Get over yourself. Courtney Sacrise. She's a student here. Is she an assassin? Or a bounty hunter?"

Luci Simonetti

"Lucia!" he shouted back. "Follow the damn WBC and get out! Fuck your pride and leave so I can activate the emergency security systems unless you feel like exploding? I don't have the time to explain this to you, and you don't deserve an explanation for something that has nothing to do with you. Go, now. I'm not telling you again. Leave before I make you."

Lucia Wright

She glared at him for a moment before she turned on her heel and followed the WBC. She didn't look back.

Luci Simonetti

He watched her go, already regretting some of his words but there were certain things he wouldn't allow people to be involved in... especially if its people that can be used against him. When she was safe and sound, out of the computer room, he turned around and cast the spell himself to find Courtney's position before bringing up Holographic screens and reestablishing the security system. "Eliminate," he commanded sharply and then terminated the program. If Courtney survived, she wouldn't dare come back here, at least, not for awhile. He then left himself, to wait for news of progress.

OOC: now what? Lucia didn't stick around tbh OOC: idk ;-; I made her leave assuming she'd leave the room and not the penthouse

## Timeskip

Lucia Wright

She was naturally in the back corner in the library, her hair straightened out so that it fell dead to the midpoint of her back. However, uncharacteristically, Lucia had headphones plastered over her ears which allowed her to watch her current favourite TV show which was dancing across the screen. For once, she didn't feel like studying.

Luci Simonetti

At first, Luci had no intention what-so-fucking-ever to find or even run into Lucia. Ever since the penthouse fiasco, he steered clear of her unless the unlikely event of a TRO emergency occurred, which it hadn't. The reasons behind the sudden isolation where personal, and he'd rather not be questioned obnoxiously over a happening he had no control over. Not too far away from Lucia however, he was flipping through a book on advanced technological theory and how it corresponded with magic. He noticed her almost immediately out of the corner of his eye, but dismissed her presence to focus on his own objectives.

Lucia Wright

She'd noticed him walk in but had long decided she didn't really want anything to do with him and was staying out of his way. After the Sacrise event, she'd distanced her mind from anything 'assassin' related. She decided she didn't care. Wasn't any of her damn business, anyway. She leant over and turned up the volume of the show.

Luci Simonetti

He plucked two more books from the shelf and moved past Lucia to a self-checkout station. He checked the books out, and then set them in the shoot. Since he didn't live in the Dorms, he couldn't send it to himself... Which meant getting assistance from someone else. Internally, he groaned, his brain reminding him once again, Lucia was just a few meters away. It was childish, but he didn't want to ask her.

Lucia Wright

She didn't once turn to look at him and was actually rather happy that they had an unspoken agreement to ignore each other and rested her chin on the palm of her hand, letting her mind focus on the show completely.

Luci Simonetti

*I could ask Brooke... Maybe, maybe Will?* He started messing around with the buttons and then set the coordinates for Dorm One. He'd sneak in himself. Plus, if Brooke found them, she'd automatically conclude they were his. He tapped a few things before the books were sucked into the tube and whisked off underground.

OOC: okay real talk, if both of them are unwilling to talk to each other, how the heck is this supposed to work ??? Roleplaying them ignoring each other is boring—and pointless.

Lucia Wright

She nearly jumped when her alarm went off and she quickly turned it off, wincing as her ears rung from the headphones. Sighing, she slid her things into her bag, gliding out of her chair and moved past Luci to get to the door, making sure her arms were slightly tucked in order to not to create a situation where she bumped into him.

Luci Simonetti

He stood for a second, staring at the screen, before sighing and turning around to exit the library. He made a face when Lucia passed him and stuck his tongue out, before silently laughing to himself.

Lucia Wright

She raised an eyebrow at him, her mind slowly going '....what?' before blinking. Oh. Rolling her eyes at him. "You're such a child," she said as she passed him.

Luci Simonetti

"I'm the child?" he snorted. "Interesting perception," he continued, refusing to address her by her name. He kept a blank face, removing any prior amusement in his expression.

Lucia Wright

She blinked, her expression smoothing out to cool indifference. "One I'm going to stick by," she said.

Luci Simonetti

"Enjoy your time doing that. They do say the ignorant never change." He walked past her, reaching the door first.

Lucia Wright

"I'm a lot of things, but I'm not ignorant, we both know that," she said. *Petty.* She thought as she watched him reach the door and waited for him to go through it.

Luci Simonetti

"If not ignorant, then petty suits you better? Or perhaps arrogant," he continued, pushing open the door.

Lucia Wright

"I haven't actually done anything to be petty," she pointed out, following him out. "Pride, perhaps, but not arrogant."

Standing right in front of the doorway was Courtney, about to enter the library but to her surprise found Lucia and Luci. She felt Luci's eyes land on her first, and the air was filled with a cold hard tension.

Luci Simonetti

"...I know you from somewhere," he said, calculatingly. He was referencing the day at the penthouse. "Sacrise, right?"

Lucia Wright

Her eyes landed on Courtney, recognising her instantly because, well, she was a dorm-mate. She felt the tension, though, and her hand around the strap of her bag tightened, taking a small glance to Luci before back to Courtney and offered a small smile. "Hey, Courtney," she said.
