Squirrel Campfire area, Friday afternoon

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia lay stretched out on the grass, watching the sky for breaks in the clouds so she could pretend they made shapes.

On the one hand, Constant Vigilance seemed like it would be a good class, and she was pretty sure that the Doctor might be the coolest teacher since Mac left. She idly wondered if she could call the Doctor "Doc". Also, she was now done with workshops for the week, which meant a weekend to look forward to.

On the other hand, she apparently had detention tomorrow. Possibly for chalking things, but she suspected it was one of those "punish for no reason!" things this school liked to do sometimes.

She also kind of felt like she should have a long stalk of seeding grass sticking out of her mouth, and possibly a banjo, though she wasn't entirely certain why.

[ooc: open. I've just been told to bum around until they get a document they can trust me to format my first week, so please to be entertaining me?]

Anders wandered by on his way out to the Pyramid court. "Hey, Nadia."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hey Anders!" Nadia didn't giggle, because now she was well aware that Conner wasn't actually "ill equipped". "How are you?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Excited," he said, and the bouncing probably gave it away. "Me and Conner are heading to Boston tonight, for the weekend. You're looking relaxed."

Jamie happened to be walking by and gave Nadia a friendly wave hello. "Hey Santos. How's it going? Other than getting in detention again."

[nadiathesaint]

"That sounds like fun. Anything in particular planned? And I have to get my relaxing in now. I seem to have managed to get detention, tomorrow."

[nadiathesaint]

"Other than that? Not bad. Looking for shapes in the clouds." She pointed straight up. "See that really big one right there? That one is shaped like the sky."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie gave a puzzled look at the cloud and shrugged. "Hey. That one over there looks like a shrimp! So what did you do to end up in detention?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh, frak me. Another random one?" Anders shook his head. "What is wrong with this place?"

He did a few jumping jacks, more out of sheer exuberance than anything else, and explained, "I couldn't pass up the chance to see the Red Sox play at home. And Conner wants to see that bar where everybody knows your name, or whatever it is."

[nadiathesaint]

"No idea. Probably just one of those 'the teachers got bored, so they pulled some names out of a hat' things."

[nadiathesaint]

"There's a bar like that? Are they all psychic, or do they make you wear a name tag when you walk in the door?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"That sucks. You get the punishment of detention without the fun of getting in trouble!"

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, I always figure it means they owe me one day of wacky recklessness per random detention."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"No, it's some TV show that's based off of this bar in Boston," Anders explained. "Theme song goes on about going where everybody knows your name. Although now that I think about it, they probably could be psychic. After almost a year in Fandom, it wouldn't surprise me."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Does it really work that way? Because if so there's some fun to be had there."

[nadiathesaint]

"Fandom: making kids less skeptical and more cynical since . . . um, 2005."

[nadiathesaint]

"Probably not? But if I don't get caught, then I just get to have fun. And really, the thrill of getting away with something is the best part."

"Not to mention teaching them how to appreciate the fine art of drunken emo poetry readings," Anders teased.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Oh so true. I heard that Wally made it back. How're you two doing?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Right. That's just not fair," Walter pronounced, lying down next to her.

"Hi Nadia." Pippi said flouncing up. "Great class today huh?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blushed. "I have no idea where I got my hands on those books, either. That tasty blue drink should be banned for life. But you're one to talk, Mr. My-Songs-All-Sound-Like-They're-Sung-by-Emo-Women,"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked. "You mean Walter? We're fine, why wouldn't we be?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia turned her head to peer at him. "What's not fair? Other than detention."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie shrugged. "No reason. Just heard something on the radio about you and Cally. I didn't take it seriously but I thought I'd just ask."

[nadiathesaint]

"It was definitely interesting. You end up with a face full of cake a lot, huh?"
