Second Floor Common Room; Early Wednesday Evening.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle felt as though her day had been very successful. She'd scoped out the town, gotten herself a job (starting tomorrow! How exciting!), and had picked up a total of two dollars and seventy two cents in change as she walked around the island. A very good day, indeed, especially since, she could tell from her handwavily grabbed copy of the Wall Street Journal that SEA hadn't continued to drop, and the one she was scoping had raised, but not enough that it wouldn't be enough for her SEA to fail to cover it in a few days. Looking pretty good!

Grabbing a bowl of cereal for her dinner, Turtle plopped out the couch, tucked her Journal beside her, and turned on the television. Now that she didn't have her mother restricting her TV time, she definately wanted to see what kind of channels they got here at the school.

"Well, that makes you the best Pam ever," Jim said, kinda dorkily.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Wow, I feel so honored," she said, smiling. "I mean, I could be an awful person and you're already locked into that judgement."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"It's a judgement that I think will turn out just fine," Jim said. "You really don't give off an awful person vibe."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"That's true. I don't even own a gun or flamethrower," Pam said, looking a little weirded out. "That's apparently a requirement here."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim blinked. "Well, that's... goood? Think I could get by with a super soaker?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"That was my thought, though I think the water might be drugged," she confessed. "So it's like a second weapon, really."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Why do you think the water might be drugged?" Jim asked.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Have you talked to people?" Pam asked. "Everyone keeps telling me they're from the past and there are troll invasions. And I know I sound just as crazy, but that girl asked me if I have a flamethrower." She tilted her head at Parker. "And my roommate insists she's a princess."

"My roommate keeps telling me that there are - and I quote - 'hot alien chicks' around here, so maybe there's something to this drugged water theory," Jim pondered. "On the other hand, he's also not completely positive that he hadn't been drinking yesterday, so the water may not be his biggest problem."

"...did I maybe miss a giant party in the morning?" Pam wondered. "So everyone was drunk?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"From everything else I'm hearing, that would explain a lot," Jim said.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam smiled. "Either that or it's a hazing thingie."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim thought briefly of Mutantalienormagic... who hadn't told him her real name, he now realized. "No, these people seem way too nice," he said. "Nobody that nice would joke about aliens and flamethrowers."

That was, of course, sarcasm since Jim tended to feel that he was fairly nice and he would joke about those things in a heartbeat.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam just raised her eyebrows. "Oh no, never. That would be wrong."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Oh, actually, that reminds me," Jim said. "If my roommate - tall blonde guy named Dick - tries to hit on you saying that he's an alien, don't believe it. I may have accidentally suggested to him that it would be a good technique."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam laughed. "I'd...like to see the girl that works on. I have a boyfriend, anyway."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim paused for a second as his mental GPS had to recalculate. "Oh, you do? Lucky guy. Yeah, I had a girlfriend a little before I came here. But, yeah, any girl who fell for that would be the kind of girl who believes in flamethrowers in school, right?"

Jim felt his verbal flailing come to a stop.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"So sounds like your roommate's probably in his perfect environment," Pam said obliviously,

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Very possibly," Jim said. "If enough of the girls fall for that stuff. I don't know. He seems to be fun, though."

Jim wasn't sure where exactly he was going with this and his mun had to get back to work, so he decided to cut it a little short. "Anyway, I should get back and make sure our room isn't filled with Martians or anything. I'll see you around, okay?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam smiled and waved a little. "Okay. Keep out of rehab if you can."
