"Nice to meet you Spencer."  She said then paused before offering her name.  "I guess if you are a student at the university, you will call me Dr. Thomas.  If not, you can call me Lea."  She said, still not surrendering his arm.<br/><br/>Lea had a disbelieving look on her face as her guide and the boy argued over dreams and nightmares.  To her it was all just hype, obviously the guide wanted people to think this was going to be something edgy, scary, maybe even dangerous.  The boy was eating it up, it was a fascinating dynamic between them as each seemed to feed the other.  It could be a case study if she were more interested in research but it really just made her want to laugh.<br/><br/>She was more concerned when the peeked into the gatehouse.  Every city had their human refuse which tended to gather in various places and this was Naked City's, or at least one of them.  Their age tugged at her heart a bit, so young and while she was no longer the most committed of educators (if she ever was) she did feel sorry for them.  It seems this would be a better use of her patrons time than worrying about some superstitious mumbo jumbo.<br/><br/>Her sympathy died down as she founder herself staring down at a ladder going into a black hole.  "You've got to be kidding me?"  She said, giving an exasperated look to their guide, her patience for this was wearing thin.  Had her job not potentially rode on humoring her sponsor, she would have told the witch where she could stick that ladder.  She looked from the guide to the boy and back again.  "After you."  She said simply to which ever one wanted to be the first.<br/><br/>Once down in the basement she looked around.  Not really wanting to touch anything but she saw the old porn magazines.  She nudged one with her shoe and nodded to Spender.  "About the same vintage as your tape recorder I bet."  She gave him a smile, enjoying some good natured fun with the all too serious student.<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="45164" data-username="@InsaynePayne" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/45164/">@InsaynePayne</a><a class="username" data-user-id="34307" data-username="@Colonel_Liam" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/34307/">@Colonel_Liam</a><a class="username" data-user-id="41027" data-username="@MsBloom" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/41027/">@MsBloom</a>
