The Fourth Dimension, Monday

Medusalith was bored. Bored, bored, bored. Even the human art couldn't distract her today.

So if she was experimenting with her hair and not setting off the security devices...well. Who could blame her? She'd turn them off before anyone else came in, obviously.

The gallery? Open.

Sophie breezed in, shopping bags dripping from her fingers, and stopped a moment, observing this.

Hmmmm. Were the alarms on, or off, at this point...?

Off, of course. Medusalith would never be caught messing around with the security by her boss. That would be unprofessional. "Hello, Ms. Devereaux," she said politely, taming her hair into a quietly writhing fall instead of a total maelstrom.

"Hellos, Medusalith," Sophie said with some equanimity. Most of her equanimity. She put the bags down on her desk and asked, "Having fun?"

"After a fashion," Medusalith said politely. "It's always nice to, ah, let my hair down."

Especially when you have so much of it to let down, Sophie thought, but didn't say. "How are the alarms, then?" She slanted a look sideways. "Holding up well?"

"They seem to be fine, yes," Medusalith said pleasantly, her hair writhing like her namesake's snakes.

Sophie leaned back against her desk, studying the writhing mass, then looked back to Medusalith's face. "You weren't quite so open about the... unique properties of your hair, before this."

"Wasn't I?" Medusalith asked innocently.

"Mmmmm," Sophie said, amused. "I'm merely wondering what inspired this level of-- comfort?" She paused. "I don't mind at all, but I'm curious."

And the hair was still curling and uncurling around itself. It was rather fascinating.

"Perhaps I simply got lazy," Medusalith said, still looking like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. "Or bored." Which had the benefit of being true.

"Ah. It must be something of an advantage in certain situations," Sophie observed, tilting her head. "Like having extra tools, I would think. It looks very strong."

"Yes," Medusalith agreed. "Something like that." It was a bit like having a gazillion hands, only not at all like that.

Sophie shook her head, smiling and thinking of the million uses Parker would make of something like that, and straightened. "How has business been today? Do you think we have time to have another lesson?"

"Slow," Medusalith said. "Very slow. I would be pleased to have another lesson."

"Excellent. The computer, I think." Sophie sat down, and tilted the screen so Medusa could see it. "How to find material that has been stolen." Or find a place to fence it, once you have. "Very few people will sell things of interest on E-bay, but it is a smashing place to find people interested in particular commodities."

"Ebay," Medusalith echoed, attempting to look like she had any idea whatsoever what that was.

Sophie pointed and clicked, and showed her the site. "It's an auction site on the internet." She checked Medusalith's expression. "Tell me, do you have a bank account, or credit card?"

"There's not...we don't have...money, where I come from," Medusalith said. "And the internet is a scary place."

Sophie frowned slightly, and bit her lip, then opened another browser. "You're not wrong, but everyone should have money hidden away. Or a way to get to it," she said, tapping away at the keyboard. "A PayPal account will let you buy -- or sell-- things without ever having to meet the customers, who might be even more frightening, let's face it." She eyed Medusalith sideways, then set up an account that said MEDUSAAQ on it, and said, "I'll set this up for you with one of my inactive accounts, and then, when you have a bank account, you can transfer it to yourself."
