Second floor common room- Monday evening

[seriesofbaddecisions]

After class and training, Sabine had gone and done some shopping, then put everything away in the common room kitchen, putting her firebird on all her stuff in marker. Not that she didn't trust you people, but she didn't trust you people. Her entire plan for the night going forward was very much that of a teenager left on their own: ice cream for dinner and trashy TV.

And then when she looked up from grabbing a spoon, she spotted the gremlin on the counter.

She froze, waiting to see what it was going to do. She'd gotten thicker gloves since dealing with the bitey things at Hera's, so she was probably okay, but she wasn't positive.

The gremlin, meanwhile, also froze, waiting on her.

Sabine backed away slowly, with her spoon and ice cream, and slowly backed away towards the couch, eyes on the gremlin the whole time. It didn't move the entire time, and she sat down without any problem.

She was still looking back occasionally to make sure the gremlin was right where she could see it, though.


[dorms two days in a row! Open CR!]

"Ah." Lana carefully came in far enough to see the thing, so she'd know what to avoid. "Far be it from me to bother him, then."

She perched on the arm of the sofa. "What about you, did you have classes today?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I ended up in the Circle of Life class," Sabine said, making a face. "Not sure what I'll learn but at least it should be... interesting?"

She did not sound sure about that.

[unusual_sith]

"What is it about?" Lana asked. "I didn't understand the description."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Apparently, safe sex and how to kill people," Sabine sighed. "And something about someone named Elton John."

[unusual_sith]

"Well, those first two could be useful, though I'd hope you would know them already," Lana said. "Who's Elton John - someone who was horrible at them, or someone you should follow?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I'm good there," Sabine said wryly, lest anyone think she couldn't take somebody out. "Elton John is apparently a singer who sang a song about the circle of life, but there wasn't a single mention of either subject so I'm not sure what the point was."

[unusual_sith]

Lana just assumed that most people their age would know one of those, and Sabine was a Mandalorian.

"That sounds a bit less useful." She shook her head. "Perhaps it's a local thing? Some slang or hidden meaning to it?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I've had these teachers before. I'm pretty sure they're just messing with us," Sabine sighed. "What about you, what'd you have today?"

[unusual_sith]

"Ah, that sort."

No, probably not. This messing probably involved a lot less maiming and pain. Then again, Deadpool.

"I had Influencing People and Badass Women. They may be interesting, but it's hard to tell so far."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Let me guess, you mostly just did introductions?" she said. "The first week seems to be a wash until those are out of the way."

[unusual_sith]

"It's odd, being with different students for each class," Lana said. "Or for the instructors to care that we meet each other."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Or that you could go days without classes if you only picked a couple of them." She'd gotten over most of the weirdness here, except for this stuff. "I packed my schedule as much as I could to make up for it."

[unusual_sith]

"Yes!" Lana agreed. "I thought certainly they'd have other things for us to do when we weren't in classes, but so far, nothing. Are they really so..." slack? careless? "...lenient?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"They really are," Sabine confirmed, though she was personally okay with that. "There's no one watching us aside from the squirrels, we're more or left to our own devices... That I don't mind so much. Find some projects and it keeps you busy."

Which, granted, might not be the best advice to give a Sith, but it was also easy to forget Lana was Sith.

[unusual_sith]

Lana was fine with that, too, it was just odd.

"What kinds of things are there around here?" she asked. "The map shows a few cantinas and stores, but not a lot. I'll probably spend a lot of time in the library, but there must be other things."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"It's a very small town," she said, a little apologetically. "One cantina serves students, the other doesn't, there are some spots for training, there's a theater... there's a place if you want to take up bowling."

[unusual_sith]

"Bowling?" Lana asked. "Playing with bowls?" she guessed.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"You take a ball and throw it down an aisle to knock stuff down, as far as I can figure," she shrugged. "It's a very small town."

[unusual_sith]

Lana laughed. "It certainly sounds like it! I probably won't take up bowling. I'll...have to look around and find something else, I suppose."

It had been a long time since she'd been able to have a hobby.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"There's stuff on the mainland too, but I haven't been out there yet," she added. "Let me know if you find anything good. I'm mostly hiding around town somewhere."

[unusual_sith]

"Is there a reason?" Lana asked. "I've heard a few people mention the mainland, but always as a completely separate thing. I must admit, I'm curious."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

She gave a little shrug. "My Fandom big brother and I were supposed to go but didn't actually get around to it, so it just never happened. I'd like to see what's out there, though."

[unusual_sith]

"So would I," Lana said. "Who's your big brother? I'm still meeting people."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Norman," she answered. "We could see if he wants to go, or go ourselves and save the museum trip for him."

Look at Sabine, offering to be social!

[unusual_sith]

"I haven't met him yet," Lana said. "There are museums?" That seemed promising.
