Fourth floor common room [Monday evening]

Triela was sitting with a cup of tea resting in front of her. Which wasn't unusual at all. What was unusual was that she was staring somewhat pensively off into nowhere. She was distracted enough that she hadn't really noticed that her tea had gone cold.

And, somehow, she was distracted enough not to really notice that the TV was on and playing one of those truly awful science fiction movies about one improbably giant animal fighting some other improbably giant animal. If she'd been paying any attention at all, Triela probably would have turned the thing off in disgust when it became clear that this particular film involved a giant killer sea turtle and some sort of mutated jellyfish.

There was no way she'd object to someone changing the channel, and it was entirely questionab le as to whether she'd even notice, but if someone were in the mood for some lukewarm tea, well... she had a pot of it.

Triela blinked once, her reverie interrupted. Then she spotted Leda and smiled just a bit. "Leda, hey."

"Did I interrupt something?" She glanced at the tv. Huh.

"Not at all," Triela shook her head. "Did you do anything interesting during the break?"

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Nah. Just hung around here. Not very memorable." Partly because she'd been so out of it she couldn't remember. "How about you?"

"Went home. No missions though." She'd spent most of her time showing the new girl around.

She wasn't sure what she thought of said new girl.

"Kinda boring then?" She sank down on a nearby chair.

"Well, I managed to keep busy, but it wasn't as fun as it could have been."

"Maybe next time we can send you with a care package. Of, gremlins and hostile veggies."

Triela snorted. "I think that would just wind up confusing everyone back home. Except for Claes who would probably claim she'd been preparing for an attack by vegetables for years."

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Claes is a bit of an odd one then?"

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but not in a bad way." Triela rather liked the girl.

"Most of the odd folks I've met were pretty cool." Leda nodded. Also most of them she'd met here. "What do the folks at home make of this place? Or do you not tell them?"

Triela snorted. "I provide comprehensive reports. Those are my orders."

She shrugged. "I'm not sure what they think. Jean seems willing to tolerate it. Who knows what Hilshire thinks."

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Orders? What was she a spy? Cool. "They don't think you're making it up?"

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Hilshire and Jean have both visited, so they know what it's like. At least to some degree."

"I've been kind of careful what to tell my parents."

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not sure what they'd think really. They sent me here to try to cure me of my fascination with humans. I'm afraid if I tell them the wrong thing, they'll pull me out."

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. Somehow I don't think this was quite the right place to do that..."

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Heh, yeah. I'm trying to keep them from realizing that."

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Did they not look at this place before they sent you? I would have thought it a bit obvious that that wouldn't work, after all."

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not sure how much anyone's parents look into this place. I mean, everyone's so surprised about everything here. I know I was."

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"I knew some of what I was getting into. Though, even the Agency's files were a bit sketchier than I would have preferred."

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe if there's another person sent from them, they'll be better informed. Cause of your reports."

[identity profile] sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com 2009-12-01 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, that's certainly true." She snorted. "But I don't know if they'd send anyone else after what I've seen."
