3rd Floor Common Room, Late Monday Afternoon.

Callisto was bored. Very bored.

This was possibly why she was watching Bitterwoman while sitting upside down on the couch .

[ooc: Open for interaction.]

"Okay I don't know who that is," Bridge confesses.

"International correspondant for CNN," Rory explained. "She's the best at what I eventually want to do."

"Oooh, cool," Bridge says. "My day has not been very exciting at all. This brings me woe."

"Would a present make you feel better?" Rory asked, reaching into a bag and making a wee dinosaur (http://cdkenterprises.com/animals/images/mz-111150.gif) dance out.

"Yay dinosaur!" Bridge says cheerfully.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes. Hooray dinosaur! Unless you'd prefer a book."

Rory's expression might have indicated that dinosaur would be the better choice. Or, rather, the choice that would not result in hours of painful Rory decision-making.

"I like books, but I have the feeling asking you to part with a book would be like asking you to voluntarily pull one of your teeth out," Bridge says with a smile.

Rory looked at her bags, and thought of the books beind shipped.

"It would be like Sophie's Choice," she said sadly. "So yeah. Dinosaur. But you can totally treat me like your personal library, if you ever want to borrow stuff."

"Dinosaurs are great," Bridge says seriously. "And I will totally take you up on that."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Yay! So. What have you been up to today?" Rory asked, smiling and tilting her head.

"I made a clock!" Bridge says. He may seem oddly proud of this accomplishment.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
"A clock?" Rory asked. "Digital or analog?"

[identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Very, very digital." Bridge says, taking a spherical object out of his pocket. He presses the on-switch, and the thing flies into the air, projecting a hologram of Earth.

"Ooooooooooooh," Rory said, staring. "That is...so cool."

[identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
"It can look up any timezone on Earth, and um, a lot of other planets too. Whatever was in the chip that I installed when I built it, I guess."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Other planets?" Rory asked curiously. "Like Jupiter? Or from another galaxy?"

[identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, like... anywhere in this galaxy or others, yeah." Bridge nods, and presses the button-combination for Bookala. "That's the 4th district on Bookala, for example," he says, pointing to the highlighted section of the planet that replaced the image of Earth.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Where's Bookala?" Rory asked, tilting her head.

[identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
"About ten thousand light-years from Earth, I think." Bridge says.

[identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Bridge thinks for a minute, reviewing a mental list.

"Nope!" he says finally.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
"So how come you have the time for it?" Rory asked. "I mean, do you plan on going there anytime soon? Don't forget what I said about clinging to your leg."

[identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
"I... it was on the datachip that I put in the clock-thing." Bridge said. "I don't *think* I'd have to go there anytime. It's not a very interesting planet." Bridge explains. "I might spend the summer on Xybria, in the capital, though."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh. Why?" Rory asked. Because she's evidently playing Spanish Inquisition now.

"There's a lot of stuff I could learn there, about, like, stuff," he does a vague handwave.
