"Don't talk like that," he says, "Dan would be mighty unimpressed if we hadn't stepped in. I know he thinks you're worth it."
Selene smiles at James, "Thanks you are a sweetheart and the aussie accent is cute," she winks.
Festy_Dog said:During this time he pays attention to Selene, gauging her body language, and trying to get an idea of how she feels right now (ooc: empathy, in case I make a check at some point which it would help). He puts the plate down after everyone has had an opportunity to have one, then reaches into his pocket to take out the photocopy of the strange writing.
"Selene. One thing still bugs me about what's happened. You remember the piece of paper you wrote your phone number on for David? The writing on the back. Now, I'm sorry if this is about to feel like an interrogation, but these questions need answers for me to feel comfortable.
"Where did you learn this language, or rather, who's teaching you? And who's Mammon? Why serve him? Finally, if it isn't your writing, then whose is it?" James sounds deadly serious all of a sudden, "Is this why you think you didn't deserve to be saved?"
Selene furrows her brow at the mention of the script on the paper and looks at it curiously, “Oh I got this sheet from my roommate I was using her notes to study for our Psychology class, I missed class,” she smirks, “and I was just trying to get caught up. There are all kinds of writing like that in her book; I don’t have it on me though.”
“I really don’t know who Mammon is, or is it an it?” she shrugs, “What is the big deal, is the scribble an actual written language? Wow, I guess I need to ask Krista about it next time I see her.”
James gets a total roll of 29 for the sense Motive check. He rolls a 23, and the action dice bumps it up to 29, total. He can tell from her posture and reactions she is earnest and genuine she is really at a loss at what the writing is or who Mammon is. James has 14 Action Points left.
Selene gets a little defensive when James presumes that he knows why she feels the way she does. She looks away from him, “I felt like that because I slept with another woman’s husband,” she looks hurt, “I was stupid, okay? Or do you want to me to go into details about that too?” she replies tersely.
