@candidated mused: you're overthinking. get out of your head.

Admittedly, there are moments where Ally finds it particularly hard actually to get out of her own mind. Sometimes she's so lost in the 'what ifs' of the situation that she can't seem to manage to focus directly on the chaos of the week on hand. Thing was, she was aware of this, and she can't control the look on her face at first.

“Overthinking is what I do,” she explains slowly, shaking her head. “Am I equipped to just go with the flow? Certainly...but I really don't think that's my default. Turning off the thinking once it has already started is kind of hard...”

The platinum blonde practically JUMPS out of her skin upon hearing someone refer to her. She didn't even realize that she was LOST in la-la-land until now. Embarrassment now floods over the FBI agent to be caught like this. A hand lifts upward to rub the back of her neck before she responds with a SHEEPISH expression on her face.

❝S-Sorry . . . I guess there's a LOT on my mind right now.❞

Ariadne flinches away at the sudden question. She looks surprised and something that borders on offence, given the bristling frown that quickly chases the sequence of her reactions. "No. I have a body. No one from The Board can claim to have a physical vessel." At least not one made out of organic material than can sense and feel.

Claire swings around on Dylan already pointing an accusatory finger. He's right and she's mad about it, she has the kind of temper that could be mad at anything so it isn't exactly a special occasion. "I'm going to beat you with my bare hands, Captain Obvious!"

Leon casts a curious glance to the new face. It's eerie how Mr. Faden describes an exact feeling that Leon thought was unique to him. For an unknown and unquestioned reason he felt like nothing bad could happen to him at these typewriters.
