6th Floor Common Room, Saturday evening

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

The sixth floor common room was all done up for a party. Really all that meant was that there was pizza, chips, and drinks (including some that seemed to be mysteriously unlabeled for anyone who might want to drink something that IS TOTALLY FINE AND YOU CAN'T PROVE OTHERWISE in the dorms). There was also a small American flag over by the TV to indicate that what this weekend was really about wasn't completely forgotten, especially considering Jessica's recent military experiences.

But those experiences were even more reason for her to relax, play some music on the radio, and hope that nobody stabbed anybody this time.

[OOC: This is the party with the I Never game that leads to Not-So-Final Destination Week. If you'd like to participate in that, please at least establish yourself in the game and maybe throw out some prompts!

Everyone in the dorms is invited via fliers from earlier this week.]

"Hey Natalie," Emily said as she noticed the girl. Little as she knew her, Emily didn't think something like this would interest her. "Nice shoes."

Yeah, Natalie and social gatherings... Give it a few years.

"Thanks," she replied, with a mild glance down at her feet and the aforementioned shoes. "Just taking them out for a test run."

Both Emily and Natalie had a life of social interactions ahead. Woe.

"You seem to be handling them well, then," said Emily. "Not going to join the games?"

"I'm not much of a player of games." Except ones that involved talking people in circles, and that wasn't really the kind of game they were talking about here. "You?"

"Me neither...but I think, it's either now or never, you know? If I hate it I'll at least know I tried," Emily said as she shrugged. She wasn't hating it though.

"So how are you? Post Fandom studies and all."

"Same as before," Natalie replied with a little shrug. You know, if you didn't count the MIA ex-boyfriend she was worried about. "Just with even less work. Maybe I should get a job on the island."

Re: Food and Drinks

Details, right?

"If there's a place where it's surprisingly easy to get a job, that place is Fandom. Even I got one, so I'm guessing anyone that really wants to, or insists for long enough could get one too." Besides that would mean she could probably get to know her better, but hey, no need to say that.

"I think I already have enough references to not have to insist too long." Between Professor Lyman, Clint, and maybe even Peter, she had a pretty good track record with being dependably helpful, after all. "But, I'll have to see about other stuff first."

"Well, I guess you have to balance your life here and your life back at home, right?" Emily asked.

Re: Food and Drinks

[whenshewasnice]

"Not really," she replied. As mildly as was her usual way. "Well, close enough. On-island things versus off-island things, just not at home."

"Not much going on back then?" Emily asked, casually enough to be dismissed if she was getting somewhere she shouldn't. "Sometimes I wish I could just forget about the crapload of things waiting for me back home."

Re: Food and Drinks

[whenshewasnice]

Another half-hearted shrug.

"My parents are there. I didn't leave much else behind."

"I see. I guess it has its advantages, right?" Emily asked. "Well, it would be great if you stick around."
