Profits from Prophets, Part 4

What the hell are you doing, Matt? This is how people get goddamn sucked into cults.I was sitting on a large blue cushion, on the floor in a circular, gleaming white holo-projection room. Facing me was Illiana, sat on a cushion of her own, the serene expression having returned to her face. I shifted uncomfortably on my seat, looking around the room.
“Maybe try something white next time.”
Illiana glanced at me sideways, amusement in her eyes. All around us, a total-room hologram flickered to life, suddenly making it seem like we were in an old-fashioned study, full of wooden furniture and leatherbound books.
Not a whole lot different from Dad’s old office, I thought.
“It this more to your liking?”
I shrugged at my host. “It’ll do.”
“Good.”
I let out a deep breath and gestured around us.“So, what now? Do you show me some cheesy holo-vid from the ‘70s and send me out with some brochures?”
