The Deck | Afternoon | Monday | February 15

[therewaslife]

One of the easiest ways, Bod discovered, of dealing with leftover restless energy was to get himself out of his room. Finding it was warmer than it had been was even better. It meant he could go outside without feeling like he was going to turn into the human equivalent of an icicle.

With a walk into town on his mind, Bod decided he could wait awhile when he discovered the deck. It look little used (which made sense during the winter months) but it was warm enough today to get some use.

So, he clambered onto the deck and took a seat, making himself comfortable by stretching his leg out and tucking his arms behind his head. Of course, now that he was there, he didn't really have much to do. Staring at the sky worked for a few moments before he let his eyes slip closed.

It wasn't sleep so much as an easy way to take himself back to a different time in a different place with different people. He didn't do this often since it tended to make him maudlin but on a brisk Monday, he allowed himself the luxury.

[deck's an open place! just trying to keep myself awake!]

"Ew, yes," Bobby made a face. "From what I've heard, I'm kind of glad I missed that little invasion."

"It was messy." Bod had mostly missed it too, choosing to stay inside his room and then in Caritas for the most part. "I was glad I didn't have to clean anything up. At least the snow waited until after that invasion to start because freezing the...bits of mess would have been even worse."

Such a pleasant conversation topic. Really.

"Gross," Bobby said, summing up his opinion nicely. "I sort of ended up on an impromptu trip to Vancouver? Way more fun." Plushies were totally better souvenirs than gremlin-guts.

"I've never been there." Of course, there were many places he'd never been. "Do you have family there?"

[longislandiceme]

"No family," he shook his head. "George and Kyle and I were just in the hallway at school and then one of the lockers opened up and whoosh, Vancouver!" Bobby explained. "It's very clean. And everyone was running around setting up for the Olympics and it was so cool."

"...a locket transported you to another place?" asked Bod, stuck on that for the moment. "I didn't even know that was possible. Was there one of those portal things in there?"

[longislandiceme]

"Uh huh," Bobby nodded. "Locker 327, in case you want to avoid it. Or check it out."

[therewaslife]

"I didn't know they could be contained in lockers," he said, raising both eyebrows and now sounding more interested than anything else. "Was the trip smooth?"

[longislandiceme]

"Not exactly," Bobby had to admit. "It was a bit like being yanked in somewhere and then thrown out forcibly."

[therewaslife]

"Huh." Yeah, Bod was so going to end up checking that locker out. He didn't exactly want to be sucked in but curiosity was a strong think to resist. "And you ended up in Vancouver? Did you have fun?"
