2nd Floor Common Room | Tuesday Evening

[pursuedthestars]

Jim had brushed today's class off about ten minutes after he'd left the classroom. It was ten questions, pointless in the grand scheme of things, and Jim wasn't going to let ten questions put him inside some kind of box.

Tomorrow, he'd planned on finally getting out and seeing what this little island had to offer. Maybe he'd hit up that bar Cade had mentioned to see what was the what there. Tonight, he was staying in and spending some time in the common room.

Feet up and head pillowed by the cushions, he'd already fallen into a habit of flipping through channels to find something interesting. Television during this time period was all kinda...lacking.

Eventually, Jim stopped on some movie when an explosion caught his eye and switched his attention to the apple he'd taken from the fridge. After taking his first bite, Jim decided the apple was much more entertaining than the movie.

"I would take that over a week of living in the wall any day."

"I hear ya." Kenzi gave Arietty a commiserating look. "That was a sucky, sucky week. But! Not what you'd call common, even around here."

[notalender]

"Well that's good to know. I haven't been here that long, yet."

"Yeaah. Weirdest thing I had to deal with my first month or so was turning into a pony. That was way cooler." She frowned. "Okay, there was that thing with alien rocks? But. Mostly I hid during that, and it turned out okay."

[notalender]

"Alien . . . rocks?"

Kenzi waved her hand. "A meteorite that crashed into the campground last year. It had some kinda thing in it that infected people, gave 'em fangs and claws, and freaking hungry. It's really scary to see a teal deer with fangs. But the science geeks blew it up, and things went back to normal. Ish."

Something like that. She was pretty sure it was more complicated, but aside from tracking down Bo, Kenzi had stubbornly hid with Peter.

". . . They turned into gremlins?"

"Dude. You know, it was kinda like that-- I wonder if that rock was from their home planet?" Kenzi blinked, thinking back. "And if they bit you, you *did* start turning into one... Oh, man, now I want to avoid those little suckers more than ever."

[notalender]

"They're really scary," Arietty said. "I've only seen them a few times, but I can hear them when I'm going around in the walls, sometimes. Eggletina doesn't like them, either."

Kenzi gave her a worried look. "Well, you are kinda snack-sized to them. Did you say you had a weapon to aim at those guys?"

[notalender]

"My dart gun. It probably just distracts them, but I'm a big fan of running away from threats."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"So'm I. You can come into my room any time if they're getting obnoxious. I'll hit 'em with my bat." Kenzi shook her head. "Anyway. Usually there's no other big problems here, you know? You can't even count the zombies in Caritas."

[notalender]

"Caritas. I've heard about that place on the radio, but I've never been."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"You have to! I work there on Thursdays! I'll give you a lift if you don't have your rat trained by then. You can order a teeny thimble-ful of the booze of your choice!" Kenzi considered. "Or, go swimming in Jell-O, whichever."

[notalender]

"I've never tried swimming in Jell-O. It could be fun!"
