Todd sighed as he stood in the clothes shop. He really didn't need to be in here, after all. He had all the clothes he needed. But....he was just looking for a place to hide form his master's daughter. She was such a pain! He knew that she wouldn't dare step a foot into this place with all the cheap clothing. Well, Todd could come to look at this place as a sanctuary. Even though it was a odd one.
Holding the journal in his hands, he looked down at it. She had also tried to get a peak at the contents of this old thing. She was so nosy it was maddening. He had asked her politely several times, but of course she just threw an old line. 'You're a servant, shut up!'
He let out a sigh. Yes he was a servant, he knew that. But what else could he do? The police department didn't need a detective like him. True....Todd was something of a detective and he did help them out several times. But still....it was just a spare time thing or when they needed help.
"I see that she finally left you alone." A woman's voice said, Todd turned around.
A woman somewhere in her thirties stood there. She wore a navy blue dress, blonde hair, light tan skin, and her eyes were sapphire. Todd smiled as he sighed. He knew this person, but if anyone looked over to where Todd was. No one would see the woman.
"More like I ducked and covered." Todd said with a smile, the woman laughed.
"Really? So that's why you're in this shop." "You know my reason for being here, so what's yours Erma?" no one else would be able to hear Erma, only Todd could. "You could be doing something else with your time."
"And what do you mean by that Mister?" Erma folded her arms after she spoke. "Who says I'm wasting my time?"
OOC: Since Todd doesn't have a family to serve yet, I'll just pretend he does until someone wants a servant.)

Isabelle walked over to the stranger talking to seemingly no one. "Sorry sir but who are you talking to?" she asked in a curious tone. She stared at the stranger trying to make since of what he was doing. She stood there trying to stay still but her hands still moved and she shifted her weight more often than a normal person would. She cocked her head as she waited the movements speeding up until it seamed that her hands were a blur, though thankfully she wasen't.

Todd's attention was taken from Erma and given to Isabelle. He was surprised that she was there. Erma had already disappeared but it didn't matter. It was Todd's ability going on and off. But still, Isabelle couldn't see her at all.
"Oh....no one." Todd said. "Sorry to get you confused like that."
Despite being raised by a witch and being aware of the supernatural, he wasn't the best at judging what was. He held the journal in his hands as he stood there. The poor old thing looked like it would fall apart at any second, but it wouldn't. It wasn't that old to do such a thing.
"I'm Todd Lawrence, you?" Todd greeted as he held a hand out to Isabelle.
"It's going to rain today." Erma said, Todd could see her through the corner of his right eye his ability kicked back in. "It'll be wonderful!!" Todd sighed.

"My name is Isabelle," she said shaking his hand as she said it. She could finally stand still except for the slightest of movements. She sighed and looked around, "So who are you hiding from?" she asked as she could hear what he had said to no one in particular. She turned her eyes back to Todd as she waited for an answer and combed her hand through her hair, each move taking a shorter time than she needed to look normal. She then tried to stand still and listen to Todd's reply.

"My Master's daughter." Todd answered as he stood there, he turned his head back to where Erma was.
"You always want it to rain." Todd muttered as he stood there, Erma turned around and faced him.
"Of course!" Erma said happily. "The world is always cleaned after it rains, besides. It's fun to be outside in the rain." Todd laughed light as Erma spun around, he then faced Isabelle.
"Sorry." Todd told her.

Noticing he was talking to no one again she started to think Todd wasen't normal, but of course she could be wrong, she had been before. She listened intently for any sign of who he was talking to but in the end she knew she would end up asking anyway. Sighing she started to talk, wishing there were enough room to pace, where you couldn't pace you couldn't fight was her take on it.
"It's fine, though I still wonder who you are talking to about rain," Isabelle said to hyper to control what she really said, Maybe she should stay out of her secrete stash of candy. "So who is it?" she asked inpatient after only a second of waiting for an answer to her silent question, not really giving Todd time to answer. She waited then a bit more patient, the sugar running through her. She stayed as silent as she could though her foot started tapping after another second.

"Oh...." Todd started but he was taken by surprise when Isabelle repeated her question. "I was just remembering out loud. Erma's her name. She always liked the rain."
A loud crack of thunder went off and a downpour began. Todd looked out the window to see the rain. He smiled for a moment before laughing lightly.
"Well....looks like she was right. It was going to rain." Todd added.

Isabelle didn't think she herd right, so she had to ask. "You you past tense when you talked about her liking the rain, but you used present when you spoke about her being right, why?" she asked in a confused voice. she stood there for the first time absolutely still, she was that confused and surprised. She had to hear his answer as if her life depended on it. She listened to him intently hoping he would now explain his weird behavior, for she didn't get any of it.

Todd sighed. Okay, he wasn't as good at this as he though. Looking back at Isabelle, he glanced down at the ground for a moment.
"Alright...I give." Todd said. "You might not be able to see her, but I can. I....i have the ability to see the dead, spirits and other things from that world. I doubt you'll believe me. A lot of people would say it's rambling of a mad man but, I'm not."

"I believe you," she said voice calm and calculated, they didn't really need to be talking about this in a public place. She got it now, how could she have been so stupid! "So no one knows you can see them, except for the spirits that is?" she asked voice low, almost a whisper. She smiled and looked at him intently, she hoped the smile would be reassuring but she really doubted it would be. She gave all her attention to Todd as he answered.

Todd was surprise that Izzy believed him. Only reason that she would was if she was....something of the supernatural in a way. This kind of helped relax him.
"Other people I've told don't believe me, that's fine though." Todd said. "Those that do know and believe me are dead. Erma was one of those believers, only because she was similar."
Todd did speak truthfully. Erma was a witch, plus she had raised him and encouraged him as a child with his strange sight.

Izzy stared at him still standing still, almost an impossibility for her. She was silent for a few minutes thinking about his answer. She thought he must know about the supernatural world seeing as he was speaking of ghosts. She thought about it and decided to tell him what she was.
"Well since you already know of the supernatural I guess I can tell you what I am, if you want to know that is," she said in a questioning tone. She started to move again not so intent on his answer but still listening of course. She stayed where she was to here his response but became restless as was her hyper nature. She stared intently at Todd her gaze never wavering no matter how much she moved.

"I guessed you weren't since you believe me." Todd said. "You don't have to tell to me. But are you alright? I mean...you keep moving around. Is something wrong?"
Todd hadn't seen many people who were hyper, so he didn't know that hyper people were constantly moving most of the time. The storm outside wasn't a bad one, but it was still spitting out rain like it wanted to. Too bad Erma wouldn't be able to dance in the rain like she used to when she was alive. But....he had a feeling that she'd be fine with how things were. Since she was most likely out in the street twirling around. It counted in her mind.

"Oh, I'm fine just hyper," she responded trying to be still. "I have had a lot of sugar today and I am naturally hyper anyway," she said her tone saying how sorry she was.
Isabelle stopped moving for the moment and then went back to moving her hands again. She was trying to be still but her nature was making it impossible to do so. "By the way I am a werewolf," she said in a whisper moving closer so she could be herd. She stood mostly still paying attention to his answer.

"Oh." Todd said as he stood there, he couldn't think of anything else to say.
Hearing a laugh, Todd's gaze went to outside. It was Erma, enjoying her time in the rain. Despite the fact that she was dead, she was happy. However Todd started to look around.
"Do you know what time it is?" Todd asked her.
OOC: Sorry for it being short.)
