3rd Floor Common Room, Friday Evening

[chasingangela]

Having rummaged through every drawer in Angela's room to no avail, the gremlin-bitten girl went to what looked like some kind of living room. She climbed up on the counter and started poking through the cabinets; there had to be alcohol somewhere.

After all, this was, like, some fancy boarding school, right?

"More like they're not insisting I come home to keep them all company," Greg corrected.

[chasingangela]

"They don't get lonely without you?," Rayanne asked. "Nobody you're missing at home?"

"Sure, but I can visit," Greg said with a shrug. "I like it here."

[chasingangela]

"With the gremlins and the snowmonsters and the ..." Rayanne tried to remember what else Angela had told her. "And the being in the future?"

"There's also my friends and my girlfriend. And I'm not in the future," Greg said. "For me, anyway. You're from '96, right?"

[chasingangela]

"Right," Rayanne confirmed. "I was very disappopinted to learn you guys don't have floating cars yet."

"Well, you've been here longer than me," Greg pointed out. "So you've gotten over it, right?"

[chasingangela]

"I have? I mean of course," Rayanne said. "I'm a total veteran at this weird school thing. Completely."

Greg raised a brow. "Right. So. What's new with you? Are you coping with all the people leaving?"

[chasingangela]

"Seems like it," Rayanne said. "Everyone's incredibly sad. Gets you down."

"Well, yeah. It is sad," Greg said, blinking at her. "Are you resisting the emo? Good for you. If kind of weird."

[chasingangela]

Rayanne had no idea what emo was. "You know me, I always do my best do dodge emo wherever I see it. Don't want to get caught up in that."

"...who are you and what have you done with Angela?"

[chasingangela]

Rayanne laughed nervously. "It's the same old me."

"And yet you deny the emo," he pointed out. "Are you an evil demon that's taking her form?"

[chasingangela]

"Yes. I'm an evil demon with nothing better to do than dye my hair and hang out in high school dorms," Rayanne said. "Am I acting that weird?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you're a body-snatcher," Greg mused.

[chasingangela]

"I've come to eat brains," Rayanne said, deciding to go for weird. "But now you've foiled my evil plot."

"Sorry about that," said Greg. "Can I offer you some cookies or something later as a replacement?"

[chasingangela]

"Got any beer?," Rayanne asked brightly.

"Come by Caritas tomorrow night and I'll have some," he told her.

[chasingangela]

"Sounds like a definite place to be," Rayanne said with a wink. "I'm running to the store, but I'll definitely see you tomorrow."

"Riiiight," Greg said slowly, taking in the wink.
