Fifth floor common room, Tuesday evening

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke wanted to go out. But so far that hadn't given her much success in pretty much anything but frustration, so tonight she was staying in. Camping out in the common room and keeping an eye out for anyone who might not have been wearing the right head, she started flipping through channels and was more than happy to see that the season premiere of Two Shrub Valley was on. Putting the remote down, she started pondering popcorn.

Eve was also of the "camping out in the common room" mindset, and so she headed there instead of studying. Because honestly? Where was the fun in that?

"Hey," she greeted the other girl. "What're you watching?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"Two Shrub Valley," she answered. "Good to know there's still some quality television on these days. Brooke, by the way."

She wasn't taking any chances anymore. Introdctions came first.

There was one thing about the twenty-first century that Jen had been missing a lot and hadn't had a chance to get since she'd been back. That might've been on her mind a lot as she wandered into the common room.

"Please tell me we can order pizza somewhere on this island?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"If we can't order pizza, we can't call it civilization," Brooke told her. "I think I did see some place in town the other day."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Great," Jen replied. "Feels like it's been forever since I had one. I think I'll order one. Want anything?"

Luckily she had a little bit of money on her. It should stretch to two pizzas or so.

[gobrookeyourself]

"I'm not too picky, but I wouldn't mind getting in on some of that pizza action," she said with a friendly smile. She'd work it off later. Probably.

"I'm Eve," she said, taking a seat. "And I'm completely ashamed to admit that I've never seen this show before in my life." Nor had she ever heard of it, but pfft, like she was going to admit that to someone right away?

"It's so like real life it's scary sometimes," said Brooke. "I don't get to catch it much since the TiVo went away, though."

Jen realized that the one slight flaw in this plan was that the only phone she had was back in her room. "Hawaiian sound okay with you?" she asked, and managed a smile of her own. "If it is, I'll go call the pizza place and be right back."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

Eve stifled a laugh. "Yeah, somehow I don't think it's going to resemble life at all now that Fandom's got its hands on you."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Hawaiian means pineapple and pineapple means it's healthier. Actually, no it doesn't but that's what I'm telling myself," she said. "Which in a really longwinded way is a yes."

Brooke frowned, a little confused. Amazingly she'd seen very little of the strangeness here so far. "What's that mean?"

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

That sounded like the kind of out-loud reasoning Trip would use, which made Jen grin slightly despite the sad lack of icons where she's smiling. "Great. Give me a few minutes and I'll be right back," she said, jogging down the hall to her room, which wasn't that far, luckily.

She returned looking accomplished -- and also hungry. "I'm Jen, by the way. One of the new students."

"Means that this place is home to all sorts of the strange and unusual," Eve said. "Just be glad you weren't here last semester -- you probably would've caught the plague. Well, y'know, not as in the plague, but that's what some of us call it."

Adam had gotten slightly bored sitting in his room and decided to head up one floor, to see if anything was going on.

And lo and behold, there was something going on! People were in the common room, imagine that.

Jen? Totally did a double take. She'd read up on all of Time Force's records of past Rangers, and she knew exactly who he was, thanks in no small part to Tommy Oliver's extensive video primer.

She did, however, know better than she used to about the consequences of breaking the timeline, so she only nodded to him. "Hey."

[gobrookeyourself]

"No turtle today!" Brooke greeted him, still unnerved by that.

Naomi decided to actually leave her room for once and so she ended up at the fifth floor common room, "hey," she said.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Oh, we had stuff like that happen at my old school," she shrugged. "One person catches something, everyone's got it within a week. It makes it much easier to ditch."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Brooke, and me too," she said, relieved beyond words that she'd forgotten the introduction and managed not to get confused. "Good to meet you, Jen."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Adam smiled, having coincidentally not noticed the double take. Fancy, that. Realizing she must be new, for he hadn't ever seen her before, Adam waved. "You're one of the new students, right?"

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"No turtle indeed," Adam laughed, shaking his head. Mikey was quite the character, that was for sure. "Are you okay? He didn't unintentionally scar you for life, did he?"

He was teasing. No, really.

"Same to you. So I'm not the only one," Jen said as she took a seat on the couch. "Is this place really different from where you come from?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but at your old school, I bet they didn't have to turn town hall into a makeshift infirmary because nearly the entire student body was sick."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jen said, boggling a little. All the dimensions and timelines out there to intersect with -- what were the odds of another Ranger? Hahaha. "I'm Jen. Pizza's on the way too, by the way, if you want any."
