Outside the Dorms, Friday Morning

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam had finally arrived. He had made sure to check in, sample some apple pie and then dropped his belongings off handwavily at the cabin he'd been assigned to.

Now, he had decided to explore a little, starting with the dorms and the grounds. He wanted to get a feel for this place. So far, so good.

Adam had a feeling he was going to be meeting some interesting folks as the day went on.

Conner was hauling his things out to the cabins, dribbling a soccer ball in front of him as he went.

You'd think he'd be accustomed to these things by now, but no -- not so much. And he'd recognize that face from Doctor Oliver's pictures anywhere.

"Excuse me," he said, approaching Adam. Wait for it, ladies and gentlemen, Conner McKnight was about to be tactful for once in his life. "You wouldn't happen to be from Angel Grove, would you?"

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam turned, not recognizing the guy who was talking to him. He did take note of the soccer ball, though. A fellow soccer fan, nice.

"Actually, I am." Adam nodded, wondering how or why he'd know that.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"I thought so," Conner replied with a nod. "You look like an Angel Grove kind of -- I mean, I know someone else from there."

Yeah, that sounded innocent. Keep dreaming, McKnight.

Adam nodded, smiling. He was slightly puzzled at the first statement but shrugged it off.

"I'm Adam." He offered his hand, manners overcoming his intial wariness.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Conner McKnight, from up north in Reefside," he replied. He'd grasped Adam's hand and had gotten through the first upswing of a handshake by the time it clicked in his brain. "Adam Park? Like, friend of Tommy Oliver's Adam Park? For real?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Much like Conner, Bridge was in the process of moving things out to the cabins.

And then he sees Adam.

And just gapes.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

And that would be Adam staring back, quizzically. He glanced down at his outfit, suddenly feeling nervous that something was wrong with him.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...Hi." Bridge says, when he finally finds his voice. He should be used to this. He's met Conner and Tori and the Far-Less-Cute Xander. But this is someone from one of the first Earth teams.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Hey." Adam smiled slightly, still feeling nervous about being in this new place knowing next to no one. "I'm Adam. I'm new." If he couldn't all ready tell, that is. It was slightly reminiscent of his first day at Angel Grove High, except he had Aisha and Rocky, along with having met the other Rangers beforehand.

"I-" know, Bridge starts to say, then stops as he notices Adam is wearing *black*. Which means he's still the Black Ranger. Which means he's still got... certain events to live through. Letting on *too* much about the future might be a bad idea. "I'm Bridge," he offers, sticking out a gloved hand.

[multiplez]

"Bridge, look," Z hissed not at all subtly. "It's Adam!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I know!" Bridge flails. "Dude, Z, he's wearing black," he points out.

[multiplez]

"I know!" Z flailed right back. "How cool is this?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Very cool," Bridge says. "Very, very cool. As long as we don't irreparably damage the timeline or anything."

[multiplez]

Unlike Conner and Bridge, Z was not in the process of moving things to the cabins. That was what she had replicates for. No, Z was in the process of stealing a lemon meringue pie and chortling madly to herself because, pie!

And then she saw Adam and stopped dead in her tracks. "Wait a minute..."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam had been checking out the dorms and suddenly felt someone watching him. Turning slightly, he spotted the girl that was currently staring at him.

And that would be Adam's shy gene kicking in. He blushed slightly and averted his gaze.

[multiplez]

Right, don't freak out the people from the past. Z switched the pie to her left hand and held out her right to Adam. "Hi. Z Delgado, I'm so pleased to meet you. Is it new student day already?"

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam smiled at her and accepted her hand, shaking it. He noticed the emphasis on the so, but brushed it off. "It's nice to meet you Z. I'm Adam Park." Still smiling, he nodded. "Yeah, it is."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori had been up early, moving her stuff from her dorm room to the cabin. She took note of the new guy checking out the dorms and then saw Bridge, Z and Conner nearby.

Noting the staring and other things, she raised an eyebrow. "Okay, why are you guys acting all strange?" It would be safe to say that Tori hadn't recognized Adam.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hi Tori!" Bridge waves frantically.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori waved back. "Hey Bridge." Yeah, she was still wondering about the odd, well, slightly more odd behavior he and the others were displaying. "What's up?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Um, there may be someone here from our past who's also from *your* past who might still be a..." he makes a vague hand-motion, sort of like morphing, "you know? You know. So there's the whole, um. Timeline thing."

[multiplez]

"Hi, Tori!" Z said. Then she bounced. Z didn't usually bounce.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

No Z definitely didn't bounce most of the time. Tori raised an eyebrow, both amused and puzzled by her behavior.

"Hey Z. What's up?"

[multiplez]

"It's, um--" Z cut her eyes toward Adam briefly. "You know that thing we all have in common? There's another one of us now! But we can't irrevocably damage the timeline, so it's on the DL." If Adam overheard her, hopefully he would just think she was kind of crazy or had had too much sugar. "Also? I stole a pie."
