Izea didn't say anything as Hal said and did what he did, she really didn't get a chance.

"...and if I were to reject the idea because 'it'll give me cancer'?" She asked, her voice curious.

"or more simply put, is this a requirement, or an offer?" it really wasn't difficult to tell that she was just curious. Especially since she was reading over the form he'd passed over to her as she asked it.

Hal raised an eyebrow.

"....assuming you did that, then another solution would need to be found." he told her.

"On your own, most likely." he said.

"Dr. Edwards explained the situation to me, and I am not sure if there are many other viable options in dealing with this issue." he admitted.

"It IS your choice, though." he continued.

"You are not an employee here, so a cell phone isn't mandated, but I wish you the best of luck in dealing with this problem if you reject this."

Izea just shrugged.

"No worries." she commented.

"I ain't rejecting it. My mana would probably absolutely destroy anything like that anyway." She added as she started to fill out the form. As she wrote, Hal could see, clearly, that she was using her mechanical, and while her writing was pristine, it was quite neat and tidy. Extremely legible.

She'd learned how to use that thing quite well it seemed.

Again, Hal raised an eyebrow as he watched her fill out the form. He accepted it when she handed it back, he checked it over, and nodded.

"All seems well." he said.

"Mmhmm... mmhmm... everything's in order..." he went on.

"Well, then. I'll have this filled out, and you should receive it by the end of the week." he continued.

"Also, your penmanship is... remarkable." he commented.

"Considering your arm is still... very new." he reasoned.

"You're adapting to it VERY well, I must say."

"It's not super new." Izea commented.

"And I'm a fast study. I pick up on stuff quick, but that's not surprise surprising. All in all, I find Goblins tend to be pretty quick studies once we accept something." she added with a shrug.

"And, regarding that form... the main thing? Don't make it too big please. I have small hands." She then said. "So a smaller device would be better."

"Of course." Hal replied.

"I'll make sure to note that the size should be one of the smaller models that you selected." he told her.

"Odds are it'll arrive at your dorm, through your mail slot." he then said.

"But there will be a knock beforehand. So if you're not in at the same, it should be waiting for you whenever you get back." he assured her further.

"Oh, and there will be some instructions for setting it up if need be." he added.

"Obviously."

Izea nodded.

"Yeah, of course." She said.

"Thank you." She added.

"I do appreciate it." She added, sincerity in her voice.

"You'll have to let me know how I can repay you."

"If I think of anything, I'll let you know." Hal replied.

"...." he was then silent for a moment, before snapping his fingers.

"Ah, yes." he said.

"I feel you should also know that Richard has been let go." he told her.

"Due to some recent evidence being turned up, he was let go yesterday, and I wish to official apologise for the trouble you received from him, as well as myself, the one time." he continued.

"Rest assured, he will NOT bother you again." he went on.

"Well... not in this building, at the very least."

Izea paused before sighing lightly.

"Jake told you what I told him, huh?" She asked.

"I wasn't all that ... anything, about it. I was rather entertained, if anything." She added after a moment.

"But good to know. Jackass probably stepped on the toes of other people too."

"Eh?" Hal muttered.

"He brought up the trouble he caused you, yes." he said.

"In actuality, he produced a mountain of evidence to show that Richard was a generally toxic individual, and was costing us money in the long run." he told her.

"..." he was then silent, before raising an eyebrow.

"...did he do this BECAUSE of you?" he asked her.

Izea shrugged.

"I have no idea, for certain." She told him honestly.

"However, When it came up that he was a dick with me - I don't think he took too kindly to be beating his ass with one arm - Jake did seem.... more interested. It's possible he didn't know about the issues he'd caused, though." She added. "For all I know, he did the research because of what I told him."

Hal just sighed.

"Normally Jake doesn't get too involved in these sorts of situations." he told her.

"Now, Richard's dismissal was NOT unwarranted. It was certainly something that had been coming for a while." he then said. "However, it seems like the impetus for Jake to find this info was... your encounter with him." he added.

"Or, well, that's my guess." he continued.

"He has REALLY taken to you." he went on.

"It's been a very long while since I've seen him THIS devoted to someone... without being romantically involved." he chuckled.

"Yeah... I noticed that too. He seems, not quite cold to others, but most certainly not neearly so open with them. ANya aside." Izea commented.

"anyway, I'm going to leave you to your work. Thanks so much for the phone thing. I wasn't sure about that, and I'm rather appreciative of it, if I'm honest." She added.

"If only just because of the fact that I'm ... usually not down in the dorm."

"I understand." Hal responded.

"A dorm or a house or whatever means different things to different people." he told her.

"Some see it as a bastion. A safe haven from the outside world." he said. "Some see it as a base of operations, where they can plan their lives from." he continued.

"And some merely want a comfortable and safe place to reliably return to and sleep in." he reasoned.

"Anyway, is there anything you feel you need to bring up?" he asked.

"If not, we're done here, I believe."

Izea shook her head.

"Nothing is coming to mind for the moment." She told him with a nod.

"And thanks. Let me know if there's anything I can do to repay you. I'll do... basically... anything, really." She added.

"So let me know whenever you have an idea." She said simply.

"Beyond that, there's nothing I can think of."

"As I said, if anything comes to mind, I'll let you know." Hal responded.

"Anyway, have a good afternoon, Izea." he told her as she got back down from the chair.

He then checked the form again, and nodded slightly.

Sure enough, on Friday, when Izea came back to her dorm, she saw a package waiting for her... one that was small enough to contain a phone she definitely could hold.

There was also a note attached to it.

It was from Levi, and it was essentially him giving her his number so she could text him when she received her device.

Izea just chuckled as she took a seat on the couch and opened the phone. She got it set up, looked it over, and sent a text.

'Yo. It's Izea. You said to text you, so here ya go.' was all it said. It was simple and straight o the point, but said all it needed to.

It really was just a question of what was next in life.

---

She sighed as she made her way though the halls, her goal to head up to the media room and check in and see if Levi was still working or not. As she walked down one hall though, she paused. The light coming out of the room made it rather apparent someone was working late. As she neared, she was able to easily identify both Sharp and Jake being the ones that were working, but she didn't know why.

Didn't Jake have a date that night? She wasn't sure, admittedly.

"...quite the conundrum." she heard Jake say.

"I know." Hal responded.

"Enough reports have come filing in, but he's either very good at convincing his victims to hide it, or he's using some sort of mana to erase their memories of the incidents, or who knows what." he continued.

"Regardless, it's not fallen onto OUR doorstep." he said further.

"...and you want me to ask Anya to do it?' Jake asked.

"No." Hal replied. "I don't expect her to volunteer. But maybe ask if she knows anyone that... well... might appeal to his... exotic tastes." he continued. "I absolutely loathe asking my own staff to undertake such a thing." he admitted.

"I know." Jake muttered.

"Well, my date night with Anya doesn't start for another... 45 minutes or so... so I guess I can ask." he sighed.

"I don't like it, though." he then said bluntly.

"Neither do I, Jacob." Hal said. "Neither do I." he repeated.

"But this photographer has a penchant for having unique and interesting models... if we are to prove or disprove these abuse allegations, then we'll need someone on the inside he won't be able to turn down.

Izea was silent for a moment as she realised who was talking, making her way over and leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed.

Once there was a moment, which took a bit admittedly, she just cleared her throat.

"Hi. You need an 'exotic' person for pics?" She asked, waving.

"If me being a goblin doesn't get his interest, would my arm?"

Both men 'jumped' a little, and looked over.

"Izzy!" Jake exclaimed.

"How long have you been there?" he asked.

"Clearly long enough to hear that specific terminology we used." Hal responded.

"....are you certain?" he then asked Izea.

"This could be quite dangerous." he told her.

"We have no idea what he's capable of."
