Interlude Two Page 11
Okay, admittedly, I cheated a bit by giving Ann’s Being the normal-human font instead of the Being font as part of its disguise.
In my defense, it was for a quick reveal. Characters who have been seen speaking with the human font long-term aren’t going to suddenly turn out to have been Beings all along.
Cohen: How did you . . . ?
. . . Say your name. Here, I’ll go first: “My name is Stuart Cohen.” Now you.
Ann’s Being (as Ann): (heh)
Do you know, you’re the first person to ever catch me doing this? My Master will be very impressed. I’ll ask if she wants to bring the car around so she can congratulate you.
Cohen: Neat trick. You make him pose as you often?
Walker: On occasion.
Cohen: Ever thought about doing it on a permanent basis? Make the world think you have supernatural senses and don’t age.
Walker: Yes, because that worked so well for Dorian Grey.
I was actually guessing that Ann fused with her Being or managed to isolate some special gene/serum in her Being research to gain the gift of sight. :X
… Isn’t that Dorian Gray?
Apparently, yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lippincott_doriangray.jpg
But maybe someone translated it into brail incorrectly?
Yay, called it! Walker is a very smart cookie.
