Fourth Floor Common Room: Thursday afternoon

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana came back to Shep's room after taking care of a few things. Neither Shep nor Han was there, but Lana found the note that Han had left on the bottom of her own note to Shep. She bit her lip, feeling terribly guilty that Han had been bothered that she'd spent the night - even though nothing but sleeping had gone on.

She gathered all of her stuff together and left it on a neat pile at the end of Shep's bed to bring upstairs later, then grabbed a book and went to read in the common room. She didn't feel like trekking all the way up to the Attics just now, but she wasn't sure she should stay in the room after Han's note.

Han's spent the day walking the island, keeping moving and somehow trying not to walk past the Falcon's Landing, the Sin or anywhere else with too many memories. He hasn't had much luck.

He's starting to make it a habit to check in the common room before going back to his own room. He's really starting to miss the food synth.


"Hey, doll." He sits down on the couch next to Lana.

Lana turns and smiles at Han a little uncertainly. "Hey." She bites her lip and hesitates before finally saying, "I saw the note you left this morning. I'm really sorry if we upset or offended you in some way. It's just... with the concussion and all, Shep offered to have me stay in the room where he could keep an eye on me. And well... it just kind of made more sense, all things considered, that we stay in the same bed. We weren't, um..." she flushes red, "we weren't *doing* anything."

Han looks incredulous and laughs.

"Lana, honey, I was giving Shep static. I know you weren't doing anything, Hells, I wouldn't care if you were. You stay with us as long as you like."

"Really?" Lana looks massively relieved. "God, I was really worried."

Yuffie had spent most of the day unpacking and decorating her side of the room she's shareing with Anakin. Lots of colors in there now- Gawd, Anakin had left things bare on his side. Now she took some colored paper and headed for the common room. She wanted to fold some Orgami and hang it from the ceiling.

A smile spreads across her face as she sees the girl. "Oh, Hey ya! I'm Yuffie, nice to meet you."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana smiles at the new girl. "Hi Yuffie, I'm Lana. It's nice to meet you! How are you settling in to Fandom?"

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

"Well, I got all my stuff unpacked and started decorating, so pretty good. Gawd, Anakin doesn't have any decorations at all. Just the turtle. And the rock on his desk. It's weird." Yuffie takes a seat, laying out her papers.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I don't really know Anakin, but he seems like a nice enough guy. Nothing in his room, huh? That's kind of odd." Lana looks at the paper Yuffie is setting out. "Oh! Origami! I love that. Can't really fold it myself, but I love to see other people."

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, totally wierd, But hey! means I can dcorate however *I* want." Yuffie began folding the paper, grinning. "Yeah, I like doing it. My mom taught me a bit of it. And I can Kill people with it! I like docrateing with them cause then if something happens I can just make another."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana looks impressed. "I always wanted to do that thousand cranes thing, you know, but my cranes always came out looking like, well... not like cranes. And after struggling through 5 or 6 of them I'd always give up."

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

"Well, have you tried using paper with where to fold marked off? And you have to make sure your folds are very straight and crisp." Yuffie laughed a bit. "It is a *total* pain at first, though. But I wanted to see what I could make."

She gestures to the papers. "Take one and I'll show you step by step. It's isn't that hard, but practice helps alot."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Lana takes one of the colored pieces of paper and, with lots of help, succeeds in making something which doesn't look *completely* unlike a crane.

She looks at her effort and giggles. "Well, that's better than anything I ever managed on my own. Thank you. Do you think I could try another one?"

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

Yuffie laughed. "well... it's close. You'll get it. Try creasing the folds with your thumbnail. Go right ahead. The red paper is really pretty. You can't make a thousand though. You hafta buy your own paper for that."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Oh gosh, I wouldn't use up your paper like that!" Lana says quickly. "But you know, if I can end up making them look right, maybe I'll get some paper and see if I can make a thousand. Shep would probably think I'm crazy - not that he doesn't already - but it might be fun." She smiles at Yuffie.

"So, show me what you can make! I'd love to see what someone who really knows what they're doing can do."

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

Yuffie grins, and bends over the paper, intent on her folding for a few minutes. When she's done she holds out this (http://chwombat.net/origami.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=476).

"Here you go. isn't it awesome! It's a chocobo! Took me forever to learn this one."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana looks from her slightly crumpled crane-like figure to Yuffie's chocobo and laughs. "Okay, I give up. Never in a million years could I make something like that. It is so totally cool!"

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

Yuffie laughed. "Well, it took alot of retarded chocobos to get to this one. They all ment tragic ends being hurled into walls."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I think I'd need a fireplace - or maybe an incinerator - to get rid of all my misshapen attempts. And I don't think I'd live long enough to achieve that. I mean, really, that's amazing!"

Lana works carefully on creasing her crane for a moment then looks up again. "So, what brings you to Fandom High, if you don't mind my asking?"

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

Yuffie lets out a sigh. "My sucky dad. I got into trouble at home. I only mugged a *few* tourists I was only trying to help and he totally over-reacted. Said I needed to stop stealing turn over a new leaf or something. Though this place doesn't seem to bad so far. I haven't tried the caf food yet, though."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Well, you might want to be careful about the cafeteria food," Laan replied. "Sometimes it's best to wait and see what happens to people who eat particular things. Otherwise you can end up singing ABBA songs all day or something else equally ridiculous."

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I heard it can be weird. I'm definately letting some other sucker try things first. I mean, duh." Yuffie laughs before cocking her head to the side. "How about you? Why you here?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I've lived all my life in the same little town - called Smallville, of all things. I wanted to get away, have a chance to experience new things, be somewhere where people wouldn't judge me based on my past... Guess I got that here in spades," Lana said a little ruefully.

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

"Smallville? Well, I know there's a town named "Kalm" on my world, so I guess whoever's naming towns thinks their clever and stuff. And what about your past?" Yuffie brightens a bit. "Did you kill someone or something?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Kill someone?" Lana looked shocked. "No, of course not. I just..." She took a deep breath. "My parents were killed in front of me in a freak meteor shower when I was three. And that's all the town sees me as. The poor little orphan in a fairy princess dress. No matter how hard I work or what I do, I can ever outrun that image there."

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

" OMG Sephiroth summoned the Meteor!Really? Wow... that sucks." Yuffie frowns a bit. "Sorry to hear that. Labels suck. And so do parent-killing meteors." Her tone was actually serious for the moment.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Lana said quietly. "And on that note, I think I'm going to head back to my room and get some rest. It was great meeting you. Please look me up again sometime. I'm up in the West Attic - or down here in room 402." Lana blushed.

"And thanks for, you know," she waved the two origami cranes she'd made.


[OOC: Sorry, Mun has to crash. It was great playing with you!]

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

Yuffie waves good bye. "Good meeting you too. I'll see you around. I'm in 405. I'll keep an eye out for ya. And hey, you're the one who made the cranes,. not me. Good job on them."
