Dorm Hallways - Monday afternoon

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was rollerblading again. Up and down the hallways. There were a lot of students gone so she figured she'd get away with it pretty good, so she was going along at a nice speed. 

After playing in the snow and getting cold and wet for the most part, she didn't want to go back outside. She had taken a near scalding hot shower and dressed afterward in a pair of cut off shorts and long sleeved tee. She wasn't rollerblading for exercise or anything; she was doing it just for fun. She didn't feel like staying couped up in her room right now.

But she was singing, and by now everyone could almost expect that that wasn't such a good thing. Her ipod was blaring and she was in a great mood.

And maybe, just maybe, she might visit the Devil's Nest late this evening, after the Teal Dear concert. Mr. Phale and Dr. Wilson sparked her curiosity with the mentioning of Lucifer. She might have to get a picture of him. How cool would that be?

Since Cally left on Saturday, Mac's suddenly incredibly lacking in company. She's gotten used to having someone around, and now that she doesn't, she's realising just how much she misses it.

This is, of course, why she's... at a loose end, and meandering around the dorms.

The singing Mac's heard before, hallway rollerblading is new to her however, so she paused and watched the other girl for a moment.

Annette was carrying on, cause she really loved this song and she's kind of dancing too, going faster and faster down the hallway.

She sort of noticed Mac just standing there, watching her, a little too late and when she started to stop, she did so too quickly and skidded and flailed and fell smack up against the wall just right past where Mac was standing.

Pulling out her earplugs, Annette rested there against the wall and said, "Uh, hey Mac. What's up?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

The skidding, flailing and wall smacking, kind of made Mac jump, because she really hadn't realised she was that scary. It seemed that Annette had been a little more involved in what she was doing than she had realised.

She frowned a little, "You okay?" she asked carefully. Going into walls at that speed had to hurt.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

No. This is the second time today that I've had a near fatal crash. Woe.

"Sure, I'm fine. No problemwhatsoever." She nodded, smiling even. "How are you doing, Mac?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Not bad," Mac said, non-commitally. She shrugged lightly. "No class, that's always good."

"You're... making the most of the quiet hallways, huh?" she said, a small smile in place.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," She said with a little nod, looking up and down the hallway. "Didn't feel like being in my room."

Annette looked back at Mac and offered her a small smile. "Missing Cally?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I know that feeling," Mac said, returning a nod.

She paused for a moment, before finally continuing with, "You only realise just how much time you spend with someone, when they're... not there." Yeah, that's probably the closest she'll come to actually admitting she misses Cally.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, Annette has dealt with that feeling before. Only that person she spent the time with was never coming back.

"I...have a bottle of rum in my room, you know, if you might want any?" Not that drinking it would satisfy any sort of longing, but hey, rum. Not that Annette sat around and drank rum all the time either. It was for the squirrels after all. And Mac. If Mac wanted any.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"I uh," Mac shook her head hesitantly. Suddenly, she was thinking of handcuffs. It was probably good that Annette wasn't a mindreader.

"It's two weeks," she said. "I think rum, probably unnecessary at this point. Um, nice offer, though."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She nodded and shrugged a shoulder. "Yeah, I just thought...you know...cause I didn't know...and everything." She pursed her lips and nodded again. Missing people sucked but Mac was right, it was only two weeks.

"So, I have an extra set of rollerblades?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac kinda stared. "You think I should rollerblade?"

Right now, she was probably going through all the ways that could be an unmitigated disaster.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Um, it's fun?" Except when you crash. You know. Just don't crash.

(ooc: lj is not being nice. no notifications for me. woe.)

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"You just crashed into a wall," Mac pointed out. "Isn't that kinda painful?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She cringed a little, cause yeah, she forgot Mac just witnessed that odd sort of stop she did.

"If you sort of brace yourself for it and tell yourself that it will be okay? Then no, it doesn't really hurt at all. I just kind of stopped funny, I think. I think a crash would have really hurt. And I wouldn't suggest drinking rum and rollerblading. You know, at the same time." Possibly her head got knocked just a little bit too.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac blinked a little, again. Annette must've stopped really funny.

"Rum and rollerblades, may have that awesome alliteration thing goin' on," Mac wrinkled her nose, because that was totally unintentional on her part. "But, no, not so good as a literal mix."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She grinned, cause actually they might. "No. All right. No rollerblades. No rum. What you're going to do tonight?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"I..." Mac paused, then shrugged. "I hadn't really thought that far ahead, she said. "It's a flaw."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Normally I don't either, but I saw the Teal Dear posters so I just thought...hey, Carita's. Woot!"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Don't think I've been out there to see them before," Mac said. "Or... Yeah, I don't think I have. Are they good?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, they really are." She shrugged a shoulder. "Least I think they are. But if you get bored or anything...and want to get out...come see them. You might like them."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Might have to drop by, then," Mac said with a little smile. She's working on that whole socialisation thing, slowly but surely.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"You'll find me there with plenty of others I'm sure, if you make it."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac smiled and nodded. "We'll see," she said. It was more likely she'd hide out in her room, because that's not gonna change that fast and her mun must go sleep now, anyway.

"Enjoy your rollerblading," Mac added. "No walls. Walls bad."
