2nd Floor CR, Saturday Night

[life_inshadow]

Tara had been more or less ignoring the hands all day. They were weird, but they didn't seem inclined to attack or steal her stuff or anything, and one of them helped reshelve books when she cleaned her room. She was counting that as a win.

It wasn't until she went to make dinner that she realized how useful the hands really were. They started the spaghetti sauce simmering while she made garlic bread, and then went over to the fridge to get lettuce as if asking if she wanted a salad, too.

"Go for it," she said, wondering the tiniest bit how the hand could hear her. She doubted she'd ever get an answer.

She was making way too much food for just her, but that usually wasn't a problem in the dorms.

[OOC: Open CR. Now I want Italian food.]

"Huh," Tara said, seeming to give it some thought. "Maybe it's all the machines we have here, if your home is really kind of ... isolated."

Really isolated. "My cousin and I ultimately decided that was what it was, yes," she agreed. "All of the..." she waved her hand vaguely. Her hair may have shifted slightly in accompaniment. "Pollution."

"I'd kind of like to visit Germany," Tara decided wistfully. "It must be really peaceful. Pretty."

Something else the girl had said struck her. "Your cousin's here with you?"

Medusalith felt bad about misleading this girl, but then she brightened, as she always did when she got to talk about Blackagar. "Yes, my cousin Blackagar. He cannot speak. Do you know him? There's another boy here who looks like him, Dan, but he's nowhere near as nice."

"It sounds familiar," Tara said honestly. "Sorry. I -- don't think I've spent much time with him, even if we have met."

Realizing something, she added, "I'm Tara, by the way. I kind of forgot to introduce myself."

"Oh!" Medusalith realized. "I didn't--and here I am eating your food. How terribly rude of me. I'm Medusalith, but some people call me Medusa, if you'd rather."
