Fifth Floor Common Room - Friday Evening

Tim decided to put Claire's lesson to use and make himself some dinner. He found the pot she'd been using, boiled water and added the pasta. And then added some more because he was pretty hungry and it didn't look like it would be a lot of food. And a little more, in case someone else wanted some.

[Open with food, 'cause he's making way more than needed!]

"Maybe not," Peter admitted. "But it takes a little more than just free snack food to lure me in. What exactly are these organizations for?"

"Has your older sib explained about the invasions yet?" Karla asked. "Because that's why we were organized. Sitting around and waiting for the grownups to protect us didn't sit well with those of us who don't normally have that luxury. And a good way to train those students with more balls than sense how not to get injured just by holding the sword or the gun."

"Invasions?" Peter said, raising an eyebrow again. Harper had not shared that little tidbit with him. Though mention of his sib reminded him he needed to go apologize to her. "The fact that you mention this in plural is actually a little worrying. It happens often?"

"Every few months or so," Karla admitted. "The last one was a few weeks past--complete with monkey-ponies, hallucinogenic fog, and a mad scientist intent on kidnapping our principal."

"Monkey-ponies," Peter repeated. "Just how much of that hallucinogenic fog did you breathe in?"

It was mostly a joke, only partially snark.

"Plenty," Karla said with a smile. "But it didn't affect me. I can metabolize most poisons after getting a sufficient dose. I felt nauseous for a few days, but I didn't realize that it was actively hallucinogenic until the radio began reporting it."

She winked at him. "Just listen to the radio podcasts. You'll get all the information you want."

"Podcasts?" Peter asked, not having hit that point of internet savvy yet. "Sorry, but you lost me there."

The one thing he did know was that even though what she said sounded absolutely mental, he liked Karla. It was the sure way she carried herself.

Probably the balls and sass. They were Karla's favorite traits anyway.

"I...can't really explain them," Karla said, laughing a bit. "I just know that's what they're called. Ummm, the take the radio broadcasts and put them on the internet so people can listen to them later. Kind of like recording a play and then watching it on the teevee?"

She was trying, but she wasn't the most technically-savvy. "Maybe it would be better if I showed you?"
