The Lobby, Tuesday evening

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

The rain was *still* dripping down, so Dinah had decided to play practice with her new purchases in the lobby instead.

zziiing!

The Room-a-rang bounced off the couch, hit the banister railing, cornered off the fish-tank, then zipped back toward Dinah... landing a couple feet short of where she stood.

"Arrrgggh."

This might take a while.

[open like an open thing!]

Dinah laughed, and backed up a little. "Extra points if you bounce if off more than three surfaces! And I'm Dinah. Hi!"

Prince Oscar Pedro may have been stalking Hurley at this point.

"Hi," Hurley said. He caught a glimpse of Prince Oscar Pedro. "Dude, wha... why is Chad's cat loose?"

"Why not? He's a sweeeeeetie. And he likes the Room-a-rang," Dinah said, giggling as Prince Oscar Pedro crouched, tail lashing as he got ready to spring. "Better aim it high!"

"Just... wondering if Chad misses his cat," Hurley said. He tossed the room-a-rang, trying to bounce it off a wall.

"Oh! I'm his roommate, he knows His Royal Kittiness is here with me," Dinah said, giving the boomerang a little extra TK zzzzing to get it to bounce off a couple more surfaces before flying back to her. "Yes! So you've been here a while, hunh?"

Now the cat ws stalking her. Hmm. Time to let loose again. Dinah aimed for the couch, but unfortunately Prince Oscar Pedro's leap meant he brought it down. "Awww, no!"

The cat purred and gnawed on one wing of the Roomerang.

"Oh!" Hurley said. "Yeah, kinda. I mean, like, I started a semester ago. So not too long."

"You like it here, hunh?" Dinah asked, then flopped down to her knees to negotiate with the cat again. "Prince Oscar Peeeeedro. Niiiiiice kitty." She wiggled her fingers at him as she inched forward. "I'll scritch your eeeears if you give me the Room-a-rang, please please please." Out of the corner of her mouth, she muttered, "Grab the toy when I get him a little relaxed, okay?"

"I love it here," Hurley said. He carefully approached Pedro. "This place? Like, the best thing ever."

Dinah paused to beam at him, a fellow fan of Fandom. "I totally totally get that. I've only been here a little while, and it's so cool. Where are you from?" She reached over, and Prince Oscar Pedro mrrr'd a warning, then relaxed as she stroked his spine. "Goooood kitty." His eyes closed and he arched his neck, and Dinah made frantic motions with her other hand toward Hurley.

"Santa Monica," Hurley said. He made a quick move to try and grab the room-a-rang. "California. But... 1994. Or... 1995, now, I guess."

"Wait, what?" Dinah said, temporarily distracted. Oscar Pedro opened his eyes and miaowed a complaint, but lost his grip on the Room-a-rang, then went boneless when Dinah petted him a bit more. "Seriously? Like Cal's from the seventies? So you're really, like thirty or something?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I'm seventeen," Hurley said. "Almost eighteen. But yeah, there's possibly a me in Santa Monica, this time, all... 31, I guess."

With Cal, the seventies were so far in the past that she hadn't even thought of that, but with this guy, it was recent enough to be weird. "That's so wild." Prince Oscar Pedro cuddled up closer to her, and she nudged the Room-a-rang over to Hurley with her knee, dragging the cat farther away from it.

Hurley quick grabbed the room-a-rang. "But Yeah, it's weird."
