Change of plans.

Kennedy is just stepping off the elevator when her purse starts making noise.

"Dee-dee-dee-dee deep!"

What the fuck is that?

My phone, dummy.

She fishes out a twenty-first century smart phone with a screen covering the front. There's a picture of a cute girl on it with the caption "Trace". She picks it up, slides her thumb across the answer button and holds it to her ear.

"Hi Trace, what's up?"

"I need a big favour, Ken. Tom is taking me camping this weekend and I need to trade shifts with you. I'll do anything – anything!"

Kennedy pauses for a moment; "How about we trade shifts? I've got something to do today if it's all right."

"Sure! Look, if you ever need something..."

"It's all right; but I'll keep that in mind."

What was that all about?

I now have the day off. Any thoughts on how to test my new powers?

We don't have any powers yet; I feed on emotional energy, and you're starving me. In order for me to get power, you need to get attention. Worship is best, of course, but sex is a close second. If you want to take the scenic route to power, just keep doing like you are.

All right, I get it. Now where can I go to get sexual attention at this time of day?
