Meerkat, Isabel's Alcove B?, Wednesday afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

Karate had been interesting. It was obvious she had a lot to learn, but Isabel was fairly certain she was going to enjoy the class. But for the moment, she was sitting on her bed, playing a few thousand hands of Spider Solitare and trying to refine a plan of revenge in her head.

Anakin was wandering past Meerkat totally not looking for Rory trying to figure out who was in which cabin.

He grinned. "Hey, Isabel."

Isabel looked up, blinked a few times, and then leapt off the bed. "Anakin! You're back!" Unable to help herself she gave him a hug. "I'm so glad to see to you!"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin smiled and returned the hug, black glove against her back. "It's good to be back," he said. "What have I missed?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Many, many, many new people. They're all over the place," she explained as she stepped back. "There were even crowds in the fourth floor common room. Which was just odd. Other then that? Bridge went adventuring, Xander had to move out and the cabin was invaded by ducks yesterday."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I heard about the ducks," Anakin said. "The guys at this school really need to find other ways to spend their time, huh?"

He ran his left hand through his hair. "And all the new people are giving me a bit of a headache," he admitted. "Lots of emotions for me to filter out."

"Don't worry," Isabel assured him with a wicked grin. "By the time we're done with them they'll have learned not to mess with us. We're making plans."

"Really? I never realized you could pick up things like that," she said. "That's got to be annoying after a while."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Plans are good," Anakin said, returning her grin. "I like plans." He shrugged. "And yeah, I can pick up emotions--it's not something I like to talk about. Tends to freak people out--like I could read their thoughts or something." He put up his hands. "Which I would never do."

Dawn stuck her head in. "Hi. Any good ideas yet?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Stealing all their clothes sounds like fun," Isabel grinned. "Maybe we can send them on a scavenger hunt to find it. Piece, by piece."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, I like that," Dawn said, sitting on the bed. "But I think Buffy's just trying to help me out by stealing Dean's pants."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You don't mind if I say that would certainly be a pretty sight? Do you?" Isabel asked as she put the laptop aside. "But is Dean in Stickbug? I didn't see him dancing about, unlike some people. But then again, why do we need to be confined to Stickbug, we could expand to other cabins."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"No, I don't mind, and no, he's not. Buffy just wants to admire the prettiness," Dawn grinned, "and he's in Seahorse, with Sam and Alec and Jack and a bunch of other people."

"So, what's up with you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I have to agree with her. Much prettiness," Isabel laughed. "That cabin is almost too pretty for it's own good. And surprisingly enough, they all seem like fairly decent guys."

"Not much," she sighed. "Workshops have been interesting, which you know since you've been in two of the three I've had. Other then that, I'm just planning revenge."

Walter is continuing his quest for pictures by wandering through random cabins.

"Hi Isabel. Say cheese?" He held up his camera at her.

Isabel pushed her hair back and smiled. "Cheese!"

Isabel's photo popped out of the polaroid and Walter gently waved it while it developed. "How are the cabins treating you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Aside from the Stickbugs and their ducks, it's been fine," she replied. Isabel watched him wave the picture for a moment and laughed. "You realize that that has no effect on making it develop faster?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"It gives me something to do with my hands." Ah, so that was what was up with the ducks. "Stickbugs, huh? I hear they're quite big for their britches."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"They are, just a bit," Isabel agreed. "Between the ducks and serenading us with Rob Thomas we're going to have to do something about that."

Jack, having left the common room and its inexplicably cranky, robe-wearing inhabitant behind, went looking for Isabel. "Isabel, you seem to not be shirtless." He tsked and wagged his finger at her. "I admit I'm disappointed. Don't you want to be one of us?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel looked up from the laptop and grinned at a shirtless Jack. "I prefer leaving some things to the imagination. I think it adds an air of mystery." Pulling her feet ups so that she was sitting cross-legged, she patted the bed. "Come have a seat. Tell me what's up with you."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Smiling at the invitation, he joined her on the bed, leaning against the end and stretching his legs out so they rested on either side of her knees. "I have a very good imagination, but I doubt it could come close to matching the real thing," he replied wickedly. "And what I've been up to is apparently making people cranky in the common room."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Jack's position meant that it was very easy to thwap his leg. "You keep imagining. At least for now," she said with a wicked grin of her own. "Who did you make cranky?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He pulled his leg away and prodded her gently in the side with his bare foot. "Don't worry, I will." He waggled his eyebrows at her. "Anakin. Did I do something to tick him off that I don't remember, 'cause he was glaring at me like he wanted me to burst into flames."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel decided to find out if Jack was ticklish. She poked at the sole of his foot. "I'm not surprised," she laughed. Letting go of Jack's foot, she sighed. "Anakin can be prickly. And he's had a lot going on," she explained, thinking of their conversation earlier that's going to be continued tomorrow. "But he's a good guy. He lived across the hall from me before graduation so we would talk."
