Platypus Campfire, Saturday Morning

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel's not certain why she's not back inside in bed on such a cool morning. She tried, but sleep didn't seem to be much of an option. So instead of being restless inside the cabin and possibly waking people up, Isabel made a hot chocolate and wandered outside to sit next to the fire pit and enjoy the silence.

[Do I have to say open?]

Annette woke up pretty early again but a lot less grumpy than yesterday morning. Armed with a mug of hot cocoa in one hand, her kitty in the other, she shuffled on outside towards their fire.

She was both pleased and surprised to see Isabel up already. With a smile, she said, "Good morning, Isabel." Sitting down in a close by chair, Annette settled Angel on her lap, who instantly curled up in a ball.

"Morning Annette. What are you doing up so early?" Isabel asked.

"I haven't been sleeping too well lately for some reason," she said, then took a sip of her cocoa. "It's a shame too, this being a Saturday. And what about you? You're up awfully early as well."

"I don't sleep much or late," she shrugged, at least not since she'd been on Antar. "I'm trying to work up the energy to go for a run. It doesn't seem to be working."

Annette smiled, "I can understand the energy issue. But you've done better than me, at least you've thought about running." She considered thoughtfully, Isabel's comment on sleeping much, "Everything okay?"

"Yes but only in that vague I really should do that but gee another cup of hot chocolate would be great way," Isabel snickered. "If I move from here before noon I'll be surprised."

Isabel stared into her mug, contemplating Annette's question. Jack was gone, Parker was leaving, and she still didn't have any answers on how to get back to Max and Michael. "Pretty much. Just a bad habit mostly. When I was back on my planet there wasn't much of a chance for sleep in. So I got in the habit of getting up early. And there was always stuff to do, so we were up late. At some point I suppose I'll go back to sleeping like a high schooler."

"Hey Annette, feeling better?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Billy," she smiled, nodding. "Yeah, I'm okay. Sorry, you know, for last night."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Sokay." he assured her. "Sometimes you just need to be grumpy."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she nodded. "Grumpy does happen upon occassion."

Isabel might feel invisible forces tugging at the cup of hot chocolate in her hand.

"Someone likes to live dangerously," Isabel said to the air. "You don't mess with the hot chocolate!"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Peter said as he came into view.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She stuck her tongue out a him. "Yeah, pull the innocent act. Cute."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Thanks. I'm told I have nice hair too." Peter grinned at her. "So what are you doing up so early?"

Aeryn had planned on going to the gym, except that there was cheerleading in there and she's staying far away from that. At least this year she can't get threatened into trying out. (Not that she tried out.)

Since she's out anyway, she's glad to find Isabel outside. "Hey," she greets her.

Isabel's still somewhat bemused that she might actually have what could be considered a date for Tuesday if you squinted at it properly. "Hey Aeryn. How's the life of a graduate treating you?"

[can_be_more]

"Not much differently than the life of a student so far," she says. "How are you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good actually. I suppose surviving the first week of workshops is a good thing," she shrugged.

[can_be_more]

"It usually helps matters," Aeryn says. "What all are you taking? I know one."

It was a little chilly, so Billy was wearing a jacket as he jogged by, on his way to enjoy the woods.

"Morning peoples." he said, deciding to stop for a chat.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hi Billy," Isabel said.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"How's it going? Keep any newbies from hightailing it?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I didn't realize that was my job," she said.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Well not specifically, but I seem to recall you encouraging me to give the place a chance and not try to run away."
