[today there is an unusual addition to the dressing room. Natalia, though in what appears to be a school uniform, still complete with headband to match. she also happens to be semi-translucent and floating along through the air on her back, her hands clasped over her midsection.] ...I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, this isn't the neighborhood at all.

[she makes a motion somewhat like patting his hand before moving away again, smiling] ...All right.

...Think you'll ever get a body again? It's a possibility, in this place.

...I'm uncertain. I was... erm. [frowns a little, thoughtful] In pieces. As far as I'm aware they've yet to recover all of me. I'm not sure of the power of this place, but I imagine it would take more than simple witching to give someone dismembered a sense of physicality again.

...

O-oh...and I thought getting a hole blasted through my chest was bad.

The only reason they changed the investigation from 'missing' to 'murder' was because a neighbor's dog came home with my elbow. [she looks slightly sheepish at this] It's... not something I tell most people. Although most I speak to are dead themselves, so they don't much want or have to ask.

That's horrible, Natalia...

It's... a little awkward, but I've come to terms with it. I can't begin to tell you how much I miss having a body and being able to touch things and feel them, but... One always wants what they cannot have, mm? [she's surprisingly chipper about all this.]

I guess so...I'm glad you're taking this so...well. [And it makes him feel guilty over feeling so shitty over stupid things.]

Well I haven't got much of a choice, now have I?

You could have been weak like me, and whined about it. I suppose that's not like you though.

[her hand brushes over his hair, fondly] You are not weak, Luke. You merely have a different way of dealing with loss.

[Looks up at her and tries to give her a smile] Thanks...I suppose that's right, but I do tend to blow things out of proportion

You always were a bit of an extremist.

[Smiles] Yeah, yeah...hush, woman.

[smiles back, putting her hands on her hips] Don't tell me what to do, Luke.

Hah.

I guess I'll see you floating around this place...Or are you planning to get yourself a room, too?

...I don't see much point in occupying a space someone else could be using, when I have no need for it.

Okay.

You know, I'm sorry this happened to you.

Oh Luke you silly thing, what on Earth are you sorry for? You certainly weren't responsible. [she makes a gesture that, were she solid, would have wound up with her clapping him lightly on the shoulder]
