Fifth Floor Drama

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*Elizabeth had seen some strange things, but the zombie aftermath was too much, and she had to get out of her room. She left quietly, watching miss_thomasina not even bat an eye as she closed the door behind her. She found a comfortable couch in the fifth floor lounge and pulled out a book that had absolutely nothing to do with homework or zombies alike.*

Maia is walking along the hallways trying to walk her headache off and spies the girl sitting along in the lounge.

"Hi, I'm Maia"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*Elizabeth looks up from the book and smiles warmly.* Hello, I'm Elizabeth.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia grins back happy to find a seemingly nice person at Fandom High.

"I haven't really seen you around before. What are you reading?"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

That's probably because I've been mostly stuck in my room, doing homework.

*She pauses to look down at the books cover and shows it to her* Jane Eyre.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Maia pauses having never actually read the book. "Where are you from?"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

Port Royale, Jamaica. Which was a British colony where I'm from. *She still finds it strange that she has to explain that.*

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia tilts her head. "Are you from a different time?"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

The seventeenth century. Which, I've heard, is nearly 400 years earlier than this time. *she notices the interest in the girl* Are you from this time?

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia smiles "No. I'm from about 70 years ago actually. Wow and I thought I had adjustment issues. 400 years.. Wow.. How did you end up here?"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

It was rather odd. My father found an advertisement from this school by accident. We knew nothing about the time change, so he signed me up and shipped me off, and suddenly, there was this huge time rift. Apparently I am not the only one who this has happened to.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

No I've heard of others. There is a pirate here. He does the radio show.. I think there are others from the future as well. I was in the past, then the future now I am present. *smirks* Only at Fandom High I guess. My mom thought this place would be good for me, a place for special people with special talents she said.

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

I have met the pirate, he bought me some rum. *She grins, then frowns, remembering the horrible headache she had after that.* Well, I don't know why my father sent me here. I don't find myself very special compared to these folk.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Well.. your 400 years older then everyone here, thats pretty special in and of itself. There was a reason your father got that advertisment, even if it was by accident.
Do you have friends back home? That you miss?

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*She sighs wistfully* Will Turner. *she grins, bringing up a picture of him in her mind* He was a blacksmith, so naturally my father didn't like the idea of us even sharing a conversation.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

"Oh wow, they make shoes for horses and swords. Did Will make swords? My mom has a sword, its an antique, its beautiful. Why wouldn't your father want you to talk to him? I think making things like that with such precision is amazing."

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

Yes, he made many a sword. Very beautiful swords, might I add. But, my father being a governor, wished to see me well married. I think he feared I would run off with dear William *she giggled softly*

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia smirked "You would have"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*She looked at her, raising her eyebrow slightly in confusion.* You think so? You sound so...sure of yourself.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia is instantly embarrassed. "Oh I-I'm sorry. That was rude of me, you don't know me. Its nothing sorry. So tell me more about this fellow, Will Turner"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

Will...I met him when I was just a child. We found him overboard when my father and I were traveling by ship. Father entrusted me with him and we grew to be best friends since.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*smiles* thats nice, not that he was overboard but that your friends. Is he going to come see you here at the school?

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*she sighs* I do not think so. I have been writing to my father and he informed me that Will has been seeing another. Of course, it could just be my father saying that. Either way, I have heard no word of him coming here, not even for Family Weekend.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia frowns "Yeah I don't think I'm going to have anyone for family day either" Maia stares at the book cover not saying anything now.

George climbs the last step to the fifth floor with a sigh. She was looking forward to some Must See TV™, as well as finishing off the two extra-large coffees (very blonde, four sugars each) in one sitting.

As she passes the fifth floor lounge, she notices a slight girl curled up with a book on one of the leather couches -- the ones that seemed to be held together with sheer will of Fandom High's invisible maitenance staff, and an economy-sized roll of silver duct tape.

"Hey," George says before she can remind herself that she's unlikably anti-social. "What are you reading?"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*Elizabeth heard the footsteps of someone coming towards her, so she finished the paragraph she was on and then looked up from it to see another girl staring down at her.* Hello *she grins, showing her the cover* It's Jane Eyre. It's quite the interesting book.

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

George smiles back despite herself. "Nice. I've actually read that one." She looked down at the two coffees she held in either hand. "Do you like coffee?"

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

Really? This is my first time. It was published after I...well...would have lived until. *She smiled meekly* Yes, I do like coffee. *Her smile strengthens slightly*

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hope I don't regret this. George thinks as she holds one of her cups of coffee out towards Elizabeth.

"Here. I'm far too caffienated as it is." she says in a rush. "It's got lots of milk and sugar. I mean, that's how I like it. It's yours, if you want."

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*Elizabeth takes the coffee graciously, grinning widely* Why thank you! No one's been this kind to me in some time. *She tasted it, finding it a lot better with the milk and sugar than when it was black. Now at least she knew how to make it taste better.*

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

George is horrified to find that she's blushing. "Yeah, no problem." She looks around uncomfortably, and takes a sip of her coffee to hide her discomfort. "Well. Enjoy Jane Eyre and the coffee. I'm going to turn in. Uh, I'm in #501 if you ever need anything."

[lizzy-turner.livejournal.com]

*She smiles, trying to reassure the girl that she does not need to feel strange around her.* Thank you. I'm in 503 if you need anything as well

[deadlikegeorge.livejournal.com]

"Cool." George waves and turns on her heel. "See you, neighbor."

((OOC: It was nice RPing with you. George's mun is off to bed. Work is teh suXx0r :D))
