Suddenly reality seemed to crash down around Esther.  Her memories...<em>shifted</em>is the only way to describe it, like water flowing from one container into another.  With a shock she realized she knew the girl talking to her.  Of course she did!  It was Hallie Moran; not exactly a friend, but someone she'd known in a casual sort of way since her Freshman year.  They often walked to their Drama class together; they<em>had</em>been walking to class together just a few moments ago.<br/><br/>How could she have forgotten that?  What happened?  And there was... a nagging at the back of her mind... telling her she had forgotten something else.  What had she been doing a second ago?  Had she heard... something?  She couldn't remember.<br/><br/>Hallie raised an eyebrow.  "Ha ha, very funny Esther.  You always did have the strangest sense of humor...  c'mon, we've really gotta get to class.  We're supposed to work on our Drama project today, remember?"<br/><br/><br/>((OOC: As with most NPCs in this game, Hallie is a collaborative effort; feel free to make up any details about her you'd like.))
