Room 406, all day

[izzyalienqueen]

It hadn't been a bad last week in Fandom. Between being social, seals, presents, and reality TV, it was certainly memorable. Even if the good-byes weren't so much fun.

There wasn't much left to pack. But Isabel was taking her time doing it.

The door was open.

"Maybe not the best," Isabel answered honestly. "But it'd be a good experience for you. Because sometimes knowing the right words to make an argument can be better then any weapon."

"True enough. And who's going to make me pancakes now?" she teased. "Wyatt told me later that he'd orbed them to the Preserve since I put so much Tabasco on them."

[intraspective]

Ino? Really, truly, appreciated the honesty in that.

"I think about it," she said, tucking the contact info into a pocket. "But I make no promises. And you take care, yeah? I don't want to be picking up the pieces of what it'd do to Michael if something happened to you."

This whole 'having friends' thing was still a pretty new concept to Jen. Okay, not new necessarily, but it had been so long since she'd really had the leisure time to have friends outside of the daily grind of duty and, you know, mortal danger that she still wasn't quite sure what to do with the handful she'd made in Fandom.

Which was probably why what she said was "If I have to, yeah, I will."

"I didn't want to get my hopes up. But it looks like you brought us a lot," she said hopefully. "I think we need to taste test now. Just to make sure they're perfect."

"Big sis, I'm wounded," Anders said, laying it on rather thick about looking aghast. "Would you honestly expect me to send you away with anything less than perfect cupcakes?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Trust me," she said seriously. "I'm keeping my head down. I've had enough adventure, excitement and really wild things in my life to last quite a while."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Because it's such a hardship," Isabel teased gently. "Picking up the phone.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel looked equally serious. "I know you wouldn't want to. But accidents happen sometimes. The salt instead of sugar. A minute or two too long in the oven. It could ruin the whole cupcake experience."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"I'm from the year 3000," Jen replied with a completely straight face. "Picking up the phone is like the barefoot in the snow uphill both ways way to communicate."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Let me guess, you communicate with the power of your mind?" she asked with a grin.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I'm wounded by your lack of faith." Anders put a hand on his forehead and pretended to faint. "Except I don't mind you trying the cupcakes ahead of time. Never forgive myself if I did frak 'em up and sent you off with faulty food."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Jen said, tapping her Chronomorpher and still totally deadpan. "It's like how all I have to do to go to work is imagine it and I'm there without even leaving the house."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"This is less about test tasting," Isabel grinned. "And more about needing a sugar fix at the moment. Packing's hard work."

"Chris and I will have to visit sometime," Summer suggested.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel snickered. "I hope you change out of your robe and slippers before you do that."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You'd be more then welcome," she promised. "It might be a bit tight being it's a college dorm room, with a roommate. But I think we can make do."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Jen snorted, and now she cracked a smile. "Do I look like a robe and slippers girl to you?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Goof," Anders said affectionately. "You could've asked me to help."

Of course, his way of helping was likely to have included something along the lines of sitting on her suitcase and obstinately refusing to budge, or let her put anything in it.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Because you would have enjoyed packing my delicates for me?" she teased. "Or y would you have unpacked whatever I'd packed when my back was turned?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders coughed. "Well, uh, I'm not touching those . . ."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nah," she said after a moment's consideration. "Probably flannel pants and a sweatshirt."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Even that sounds luxurious," Jen remarked. "Considering I spent a year with only four changes of clothes WTF wardrobe department. More like sweatpants and a tank top, though."

[intraspective]

"Good," Ino said. "Have fun doin' whatever stuff you've got planned and I'll call you if I need you, I suppose."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Seriously?" Isabel asked, appalled. "Now I know what to get you for Christmas."
