So Vanadi's hosting the big Masquerade Ball later this month, and that got me to thinking...

( Collette starts ticking things off on her fingers. )

There's no age limit, everyone's going to be wearing a mask and in costume, there's no supervision, and one of the most common questions out of new people showing up here is "where's the nearest bar," so it'll also have alcohol. Lots of it.

( Collette leans forward, chin resting on her interlaced hands, elbows on the table. She grins. )

This is so much better than Prom would ever be.

I know what you mean.

If you ever meet Adam Monroe, stay away from him. He's 400 and his past is.. complicated.

You can talk to him. Just be careful.

He's dangerous, yes. Manipulative. I'm not always better, but he- He doesn't value life.

No! No. I've been manipulative in the past, but I- I'm trying to change. I don't want to be that person anymore.

The people I manipulated.. They were bad people. Worse than Adam. One tried to kill me and another- Danko. He faked my death, but held it over my head. Threatened to kill me if I stepped out of line.

I am.

[A pause. Some of it's true.]

I was a watchmaker. One day, a man said that he thought he could help me, that he thought I was different. A scientist. He did. Help me. Except then I was caught in their world. All these people.. I couldn't escape. Every time I tried, someone chased me, came after me. Just for what I was. I've spent the last few years trying to escape them.

[All true. Technically.]

No. Not for being a watchmaker. For the curse- gift that the scientist gave me. An ability to understand how things work.

Claire's the daughter of someone who hunted me and locked me away.

It is. That's why I'm trying to meet new people, make new friends.
