Well, the place certainly looks haunted, to say the least. There was dust covering just about every surface, and while there were still plenty of objects around that had belonged to someone, there was nothing that could be considered a sign of anything living. She moves slowly, eyes looking over everything. Nadine believes in ghosts for reasons she hadn’t told James, or anyone for that matter, and she wasn’t against the idea of proof.

“Did you see any ghosts?” She doesn’t turn from what she’s looking at, a bookshelf with a few books that had been left behind a long, long time ago. She gets close to grabbing one of them, wanting to flip through the pages, but she stops herself. There was no one in the house, and there hadn’t been in a while, but that didn’t stop feelings from sticking around. They had seeped into the wallpaper, and they could certainly have done the same to these books. She didn’t feel like accidentally stumbling across someone’s traumatic memories.

“Our walk is certainly out of the question now.” 

“So... you’re an alien...?”

Something about this felt sketchy. As he followed the other wherever they were headed to. He wasn’t going to ruin the fun and demand to head back. But, he wasn’t about to keep biting down how he felt about this situation. 

She’s sitting at the desk, sorting through some of the posters that need to be hung up for events. The lobby was empty, entirely silent, until it wasn’t anymore. The sound causes her to glance up, hoping that something wasn’t going wrong. With her luck, it usually would be. But instead, it’s just someone coming down the stairs. Someone she recognizes.

Eyes narrow. “Laurie?” She only asked because she’s shocked. Not because he’s leaving the place at whatever time this was, and Rain could easily figure out what that meant. It was instead because she was seeing him. Again. Not even a student, and he couldn’t stay away from the campus. Not even at, (she’ll finally check the clock) two in the morning.
