Second Floor Common Room [Come one, come all.]

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

After waiting in his room for Carter for over an hour Jack decides that he must've been blown off. Either that or that she's working on something and still thinks she has "two more minutes."

Either way Jack has decided to go watch some TV to take his mind off it all.

"Ooh hey, Jon Smith. Huh. That kinda looks like the librarian."

"Just mine?" Peter asked. "Or was there some cellular poltergeist outbreak or something and everyone was affected?"

[can_be_more]

Aeryn's not sure what a cell... pol thing is, but she can say, "It's not just you."

"I'm honestly not sure if that's a relief or if it should scare me." Peter waved, "Hi, I'm Peter."

[can_be_more]

"Aeryn," she says with a nod. "You're new?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Yep. Just got in last night. This morning. Whatever, sometime inbetween. It was dark, I was tired."

[can_be_more]

"I think that technically counts as night here," she says.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"And it was followed by sleep, so 'night' works as well as anything. So what's there to do for fun around here? Besides trying to figure out how to unhear things your phone told you?"

[can_be_more]

"Do you mean what do I do, or what everyone else does?" she asks.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Either or. It's a small town. I'm sure I'll need plenty of entertainment."

[can_be_more]

"Some days you'll have too much entertainment," she advises. "Um. Around here people are in the common rooms a lot, or the gym. And there are a lot of places in town. Stores and the coffee shop and the karaoke bar..."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"The gym? Is it big?" Peter asked, letting his mind wander to using spider-powers for a cardiovascular workout in the gym.

"We have a karaoke bar? This town really is evil."

"You haven't heard some of the singing," Aeryn says with a little mini eyeroll. She shrugs. "The gym's a good size. Plenty of equipment. Kara and Anders trained there, so there's room."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Good to know," Peter said.

"And you haven't heard bad singing until you've been in the New York subway. Trust me on this."

[can_be_more]

"They sing on the subway?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Some people do, for various reasons," Peter answered. "Some are looking for money. Some are crazy. Some think they're talented..."

"I've been avoiding the subway for a while, though. Maybe they stopped."

[can_be_more]

"I would hope so," Aeryn says. "If it's really that bad."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"It could be worse. You should hear some of the people who think they can play guitar."

[can_be_more]

"Where are you from? It sounds stranger than here."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"New York. I'm a big city boy. And it's much, much stranger than you're probably imagining. It's part of the charm."

[can_be_more]

"I don't know if it can be much stranger than I'm thinking it is," she admits.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter thought briefly of the past several months. "Trust me on this one. You've barely scratched the surface."

[can_be_more]

"Impressive," she says.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much everyone I'm afraid. But at least it's not zombies again."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Zombies?" Peter asked, not sounding too shocked. "That must have been all kinds of fun."

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

"It was actually. Except for the stew. I had to shower for almost a full day before the smell got out."
