The Pool / September 17/ Early Morning

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

She was by the swimming pool again. She'd arrived early even before the sun rose.

"You shouldn't be afraid of the water."

Azula narrowed her eyes. Wonderful. She was back.

Her mother sat on one of the benches still wearing the voluminous royal robes. "You could change your clothes once in a while."

"I could," her mother agreed, "but as you kept insisting, I am only a figment of your imagination. My appearance is dependent on you."

Azula rolled her eyes, "Whatever."

She faced the pool and studied the water. This time she didn't leap into the water instead she slid one leg then the other before slowly lowering herself into the pool. She braced herself for the onslaught of memories but to her surprise, none came.

Maybe the trigger was full immersion?

"See?" Her mother's voice said again, "It wasn't so hard, was it?"

Azula scowled, "Oh, shut-up, mother."


(Open! Azula's 'guest' is NFI but Azula is open for interaction or mocking!)

The Roof, Thursday Evening

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

So someone was now in student council. Therefore, someone was on the roof--a place that was always smart to go when you were her--celebrating.

With diet Coke and a book.

WHOA THERE, JEAN. LET'S NOT GO CRAZY.

But that's what she was doing. So. Nyah.

[[Open like a roof!]]

Fifth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had spent part of the evening on the phone with her Gran and with Tara, trying to get either of them to come visit for Parents' Weekend. The result -- aside from promises that both of them would try to make it -- was a craving for something from home.

Which was brought her out to the common room to bake a pie. This served dual purposes:

a) It smelled great and would likely provide her with company as a result, and

b) Now she had something to eat while watching Yell, which was apparently from her time but she'd still never seen. So pie seemed like a good accompaniment to being curled up on the couch and staring wide-eyed at the screen. (It was scary, okay.)

[omg I am bad at posting CRs without food in them. what is wrong with me? but I was given more iconses by SOMEONE, so clearly I had to post! open!]
