Fifth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had had better, and less upsetting days. That afternoon, her brother had actually finally returned a phone call -- not to really check on his baby sister, though he did ask after her, but to tell her that he couldn't come to visit that weekend.

But that wasn't enough. Scarcely ten minutes after getting off the phone with Jason, just as the sun was going down, her phone buzzed with a text.

pam & i coming to visit. arrange accommodations. sleeping in the ground is hell on hair.

Because that was exactly what she needed. Eric and Pam, in Fandom. All weekend. Terrorizing her friends and teachers and people who could conceivably be either of those things, but now wouldn't, because some stupid vampires had ruined it.

Wonderful.

So Sookie was in the common room, whisking her second batch of banana pudding. She'd already poured the first batch over vanilla wafers, and admittedly, maybe she was whisking a little harder than necessary. She had some aggression to work out. But at least there was pudding coming out of it.

"Nervous," she admitted. "Hence all the pudding-making. The weekend's gonna suck. Anyone coming for you?"

Jason shook his head. "No, my guardian can't make it, but I just saw him two weeks ago so it isn't that big of a deal, I guess. Are people coming for you?"

"My brother -- whose name is also Jason, incidentally -- canceled on me earlier," she said with a frown. "But this, um, guy I kinda work for sometimes will be coming. It should be...interesting."

"Good interesting? Or are you worried he's going to embarrass you somehow or something?" Jason asked.

"Well, A) he's a vampire, so there's that problem," she noted. "Not everyone here being cool with that and all. And B) he's, um. Nosy. I don't want him asking around about me. One of those situations."

"Not a dangerous vampire, right?" Jason asked, feeling stupid for the question but asking nonetheless. "I won't say anything if I run into him, if that helps."
