The grounds, Tuesday evening

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

Jim kind of liked the rain. Besides, he was feeling the need to stretch his legs and so was outside for a walk, not caring about the mud that was gradually creeping up the back of his jeans. His hands were jammed in his pockets as he walked, listening to the different sounds that the rain made as it hit the ground, leaves, his jacket, the buildings, trying to sort through them all.

"Underwater hockey? This is the first time I'm hearing about it."

"Yeah, it was at this college my dad took me to see last year. They played it in a pool, there were snorkels and nets . . . I didn't really follow it, but it was pretty cool."

"Wow, it sounds like a lot of fun." Tori smiled.

"Well, if I ever figure out how to play it, I'll let you know."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Great, thanks." Tori grinned.

Jim shook the water out of his hair and jammed his hands deeper in his pockets. "I'm getting past girlfriend-warming-up cold so I think I'm going to head in. Walk you back?"

Tori smiled and chuckled softly. "Yeah, it is a bit chilly out now. Sure, thanks."

Jim nodded and started heading towards the dorms. "Where are you from, anyway? Or when, I guess is a good question too . . ."

"Blue Bay Harbor, California." Tori answered, smiling. "Yeah, it is, I suppose. I'm from 2006 even though it really should be 2004, oh well! What about you?"

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"Here and there, 2006," Jim grinned. "We move a lot, I've been bouncing between schools for a long time."

"That's got to be hard. I've been in Blue Bay Harbor all my life, so I honestly don't know what that's like." Tori admitted.

Jim shrugged one shoulder, looking up at the dorms. "It wasn't bad. Got a whole lot better when I got here, actually made friends . . . met Lana . . ."

Tori smiled, nodding. "Definitely sounds like it did." She had been nervous about coming to Fandom, but then she met the people here and the nerves had disappeared.

"Not to mention that it's the first place I haven't gotten kicked out if in a while."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori smiled warmly. "That's always a good thing."

[sensitivejim.livejournal.com]

"I think having Lana helps," Jim said quietly, a smile spreading across his face. "Never had a reason to stick around before."

Tori smiled, Jim's statement reminding her of Blake uttering a similar one last year. "It always nice when you have someone or something to look forward to."

[OOC: Off to study for my Art History test, yay!]

Jim rubbed the back of his neck again. "Sorry, that was pretty lame, hey?"
