Third Floor Common Room [Saturday Evening]

Loaded down with takeout bags from the Mexican place, Bobby was beginning to detect a bit of a theme in regards to this island and his attempts to order food. Namely, that everyone seemed to insist on giving him way more than he'd actually ordered.

Not that he was complaining, because 1) food was awesome and 2) it brought people out to talk to, which was also awesome.

[ooc: CR is open, and full of moddable Mexican food!]

"Nice to meet you, Lion-o," Jennifer said. "You took the summer off?"

"My father kept promising to visit me here in Fandom but kept postponing his trip, so I decided to go back and surprise him," explained Lion-o. "It turned out he was busy because he was overseeing our planet's evacuation."

"...Oh no," Jennifer said. "That sounds awful."

"I'm glad I went, though, because I got to witness the end of Thundera. It would have bothered me, knowing that I was safe here in Fandom while my people were fleeing their homes," said Lion-o. "They relocated safely on another planet similar to this one, and then I returned to finish my education."

"That'd good," Jennifer said. "Safe is definitely a good thing."

At least the Thundercats traveling on his flagship were safe. Lion-o still wasn't sure what happened to the ships of refugees that got cut off from the rest of the fleet.

"I take it that you are from Earth?" he asked, not wanting to dwell on his worries.

Jennifer nodded. "California, to be exact."

[identity profile] lordofthecats.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Lion-o struggled to remember his geography. "Is California far from Fandom?" he finally asked.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
"It's across the United States," Jennifer said. "On the west coast, instead of the east."

[identity profile] lordofthecats.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Lion-o nodded. "How long have you been at Fandom? Do you like it so far?" he asked.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Since the start of the summer," Jennifer said. "I like it a lot, actually. Lots of new and nice people."

"It's definitely been an eye-opening experience for me, and for everyone else who have not seen a Thundercat before," said Lion-o with a chuckle.

"I was wondering," Jennifer said. "You did seem to have some... feline features."

[identity profile] lordofthecats.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
"The Thunderan people are similar to the big cats of Earth," said Lion-o. "Except for the snarfs, of course. I haven't seen anything like a snarf on this planet. Some of the dogs are kind of close, but snarfs can talk and walk upright."

It wasn't a very good explanation, but then again, Lion-o was a little slow.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, except you're a lot more... manly than most cats," Jennifer said.

[identity profile] lordofthecats.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Lion-o's face turned red. "I did hit a growth spurt just before coming back to Fandom," he said.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Jennifer giggled a little. "I mean, you've got more man-like characteristics than the lions of Earth."

[identity profile] lordofthecats.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess the universe is a very big place if you can get humans, cats and cat/human hybrids," said Lion-o with a chuckle.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
"But congratulations on the growth spurt," Jennifer said. "You do look good."

We remind the reading audience that Jen will, eventually marry John Jameson, who turns into the Manwolf.

"Thanks," said Lion-o, blushing even more this time. He wondered if it was too early to start thinking about asking Jen to homecoming.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
"No problem," Jennifer said. "So, how long have you been going here?"

[identity profile] lordofthecats.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
"A full school year and the summer before that," said Lion-o. "I'll be a sophomore this year."

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Neat," Jennifer said. "So you'll be around my next two years."

[identity profile] lordofthecats.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, I definitely should be. It's another three years until graduation for me," said Lion-o.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2009-09-20 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Friends?" Jennifer said, extending a hand.
