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.]

"I wonder if this means I could turn into Sia." Alex was sure turning into a classmate would be the most awkward thing ever.

"And I've known mafia princess types," she added. She was aware that she might have been one herself. She was sure her father's business had been a bit shady at times.

"Maybe?" Kenzi looked amused. "Or she'll turn into you. That'd be weird... Yeah? My family's not exactly uh, connected. But we know people." She looked sunnily guilt-free on that. "You gotta do what you can to get by, right?"

"You are not wrong about that." Alex understood that more than she'd like to. "Have you been here while?"

She found it a little comforting that there was someone here who spoke her native language.

"Going on two years, jeez. Never thought I'd last this long," Kenzi said, looking a little surprised at herself. "Just graduated three weeks ago. But I'm sticking around the island for the summer, and maybe longer." Nibbling on some cheese puffs, she asked, "What grade did they stick you in?"

"Congrats," Alex said, raising her can of soda. "I'm a junior, so I have a few years to go."

"Kewl. I think you'll like it, more often than not. Once you get past your first invasion," Kenzi told her. "I spent my first one hiding in the restroom with weapons. After that it got better." OR she just got used to surviving this stuff.

"Invasions?" Good thing Alex hadn't taken a sip of her soda just then. "This place keeps surprising me."

"It does that," Kenzi admitted. "I don't know anybody who shows up totally prepared for this place. Either the magic or the time travel or the fighting gets them. The dorms are pretty safe, though."

"Good to know," Alex said, nodding. "Though I think I'd want to be where the action is."

She trained to fight and use weapons, but she didn't have the chance to use those skills, yet. Sparring with Nikita didn't count.

"You're a fighty person?" Kenzi asked with interest. "There's more than a few of those around. Not me, I'm good with hiding or running or throwing things from far away. But you can probably find somebody to kick ass with."
