Day 61: Sun Room (third shift)

The moment dear Landel-san announced that it was time for lunch, Erika wasted no time and headed straight for the Sun Room's bulletin board to check if there was any response to her message left for her dear friend. Predictably, there was nothing for her on the board, and the detective scowled as she realized she might have to write him off as a loss. She had lost a good number of potential allies in this place, but losing this one was a bit of a blow, if only because he had useful things on him. On the other hand, if he was gone, and that ring was still here...

Perhaps it was not a great loss, then. Still, Erika was mildly annoyed as she wandered away from the board and back towards a nearby couch. She was spending a lot of time in the Sun Room lately, which seemed to be a bit of a waste as she could have spent in going around the Institute. On the other hand, she had a sandwich here that was waiting to be consumed and after spending a week with little access to "real food", Erika was more then happy to enjoy her time spent eating.

Still, at some point she was going to have to manage her time a little more effectively. There was no reason why she couldn't multitask, so Erika kept her gaze on the door of the Sun Room so she could watch people filter in on their way to other rooms. She wouldn't get everyone, no, but perhaps she would find someone useful that she could bother for the rest of the shift. A familiar face, or maybe someone new. She'd decide on that eventually.

Rita could tell Facilier was impressed, which made her already-enormous ego swell a little more. But really, who wouldn't be proud to be in Rita's shoes? She single-handedly (well, almost) revolutionized magic and magic technology! That was worth a few pats on the back.

But it looked like she did need to clarify a few points. "I wouldn't say I control them. It's sort of like... well, like how the sun gives off heat and light that we can use. It produces and emits those things just by existing. What we're developing now are techniques that harness the magical energy that these beings give off just by existing in our world." That was about the simplest explanation Rita could muster.
