Fifth floor coomon room, Saturday night

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

Henry was still hungry and not much more illuminated to where he was. He had found a room that looked like it was a lounge of some kind and was hoping that he'd run into someone who could tell him something.

Or, at the least, who could offer him a bite.

Andi had spent half the day trying to find something to wear. The room she had woken up in had a lot of dresses, and not much else. "Ugh."

Henry looked up at the young woman's entrance. "Ugh?"

Andi gestured to the dress. "Only thing in the closet in my room. Do you have any idea where we are?"

Henry shook his head. "It looks like maybe a dormitory of some kind, but I'm not certain."

"Ugh, great." Andi rolled her eyes and flopped down on the couch. "I'm Andi, by the way."

"Henry." He could hear her heart and she smelled... appetizing.

"Nice to meet you." Andi said, having no idea what was going through Henry's mind. "This is stupid. Last I remember, I was in Seattle, and now, here."

"I was in Toronto," Henry said, moving over to sit beside her. "Went to sleep in my condo, woke up here."

"Well, I hope they're not hoping for a ransom.."

Henry moved a little closer. "I would expect a few more guards and bars on the windows if we were captive," he said, letting his voice become more of a seductive purr.

Andi looked over a bit suspiciously and scooted away as far as the couch would let her. "Personal space. And uh, I don't even know you."

Coraline came wandering in with a wave of greeting for the people that were there. "Hello," she said as she made for the fridge.

She was in search of ice cream. Specifically chocolate ice cream, and she sighed in disappointment when the freezer didn't have any to offer. "This is the last freezer. How can none of them have chocolate ice cream?"

"A great lack," Henry said. "Can I ask you something strange?"

She considered him thoughtfully for a moment. "In this place I think it's practically a guaranteed event," she said, looking at him expectantly.

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"That actually is at the center of things," Henry said wryly. "Where is here?"

[advicefrommice.livejournal.com]

"What do you mean, where is here?" she asked slowly, walking over to peer at every bit of him she could see. "Here is the same place it was yesterday. Unless you mean the fifth floor common room, and it's the same as all the rest of them."

"I went to sleep in Toronto and woke up here," Henry explained.

Coraline folded her arms. "Seregil, how did you get from here to Toronto and back again?" she asked. "And why?" She suddenly moved closer again, trying to look at his arms and hands. "Did something bite you?"

Gremlins were becoming her shorthand explanation for everything strange.

Henry couldn't keep from smiling at the biting comment. "Not for a very long time," he said wryly. "And my name is Henry, not Seregil."

"It's probably not gremlins, then," she said under her breath. The venom couldn't last that long, could it? "Are you sure your name isn't Seregil? You look like him." Coraline tilted her head, studying him. "Sort of."
