The grounds around the dorms, Friday afternoon

[unddann]

Lola hadn't gotten around to checking with Tony about smoking in the room, yet, and decided it probably wouldn't be a good idea to try finding out by lighting up in there.

So she was chilling outside, taking her time working through a cigarette, and staring off into space.

What? Fun didn't always have to mean active, right?

"The Emerald City?"

"The capital of Oz and the largest city. There's Shiz, the University town just north of it, but I've never been there and it's not the same thing."

[unddann]

"Ah. Does Oz have many cities?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Not really," he had to admit. "Mostly we have larger towns or villages. There's what you could call cities up in Gilikin, from what I've heard, but I've never been there myself so I can't say for certain. The women I lived with, neither of them went up there much either so I didn't hear about it a great deal."

[unddann]

"These women were not your mothers?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know them to be," he admitted.

"One was, though she never admitted to birthing me. The other was her old Nanny. There were some others, back before the soldiers left, but then they were gone and it was just the three of us and the monkeys."

He gave her a wry smile.

"It's all rather odd."

[unddann]

"It sounds like it, ja. Monkeys?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He nodded.

"Winged monkeys."

No, really.

[unddann]

"Winged monkeys. I should like to see those, someday."

"Well, they're perfectly good roommates for the most part. But that last part is rather... well, you'll be glad, should you ever meet them, that you can leave."

"There are monkeys that throw poo," Lola noted.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"They do. I assure you. I wasn't going to."

[unddann]

Lola nodded. "That must make for gross rooms."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"You probably don't want me to go on," he told her with a faint chuckle. "As I was the one charged to do all the cleaning."

[unddann]

Lola grimaced. "I think that is a story that maybe shouldn't be told."
