2nd Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[longislandiceme]

Still a little (okay, a lot) weirded out over the encounter with Rose (or Snow White or... whatever) in the fourth floor common room, Bobby popped in his DVDs and settled in for yet another night of Go-Between Guy. Sadly, there was no Chinese food this time, just a bunch of your regular scrounged-up-from-the-cupboards snack food type items.

[ooc: ...yeah, I had to. SORRY SAM.]

"Jean," She replied, offering a hand. Because she was totally polite like that. And over-eager. So over-eager.

Sookie happily grasped the offered hand, her mental shields going up as a matter of course. "You a big Go-Between Guy fan, Jean?"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean blinked just once, shaking the feeling off like someone whose powers depended on the plotline. Her own shields firmly in place.

"Mostly checking in on Bobby, really."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie slanted a look in Bobby's direction. "He needs checkin' up on?" She hadn't picked that up, but she'd also been very polite about staying in her own darn head.

"Well, we kinda know each other from home." In a way.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Aww. That's so nice, knowin' someone already from home," Sookie said with a broad smile. "Would've made my first couple weeks here a heck of a lot easier, that's for sure."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Took us a while to realize we weren't... the ones we both know." So damn confusing.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Ohhhhh," Sookie said, her eyes widening in realization. "Oh, how confusing! How'd you figure it out? I'm still kinda wrapping my mind around the idea of there being, you know, another Sookie out there, and all."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"He's older than the one I know and I--" Have telepathy early. "--we asked each other what the other was doing here and it all kinda just came out."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"But it still must be such a comfort to have someone 'round who you know, even if it's not the same one as at home," she offered.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah! I just need to make sure he's doing okay and all that."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Does your Bobby know about him?" she asked curiously.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean's eyes widened. "Oh, no, no. They'd think I was crazy."

Yes. Because their world was soooo normal.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Sookie asked, sympathetic. "I know what that's like. People're so unwilling to believe things that challenge what they're used to hearin'."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Well, meeting another version of someone you already know?" Weeeeird.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

She shrugged. "Stranger things have happened." She could say that. She was one of them.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

At least she didn't have giant robotic death machines hunting her down. Oh, Marvel.

"Like the singing?" Omg, weeeirdos here.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, the singing. And the children, and the alternate universes of vampires, and the overwrought sex drives and the sex droughts and ugh," Sookie sighed, rolling her eyes. "It's all enough to give me a migraine."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"At--the other things haven't happened since I've been here." Oh god, give her trauma now. Baby Nate was going to show up one weekend and it will be so many kinds of awkward.

"Oh, lucky you, then," Sookie told her with a little smile. "It was awful."

Pause.

"Not -- um, not because it affected me, I mean, directly!" Oh, god, now she sounded like a big hussy. "Because it was horrible having to listen to everyone whine."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Jean just nodded quickly, not about to judge her... hussiness. "Emma said something like that too."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Emma can relate," Sookie said, smiling a little.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Emma thinks everyone is annoying, though."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"She didn't seem to think that about me," Sookie said worriedly. But then again, she hadn't been able to check that.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

Maybe because she didn't think loud?

"Well, from what I can tell..."
