Meerkat Cabin, Isabel's Alcove, After lunch

[izzyalienqueen]

After lunch Isabel faced the fact that packing couldn't be put off any longer. Her bag was open on her bed as she sorted through her clothes.

[ooc: open to all. Slow like whoa throughout the afternoon because RL packing needs to be done.]

Molly remembered that Isabel said she was leaving today, so she came over from her end of the cabin to say good-bye.

"Hi, Isabel. How long before you leave?"

Not having a workshop today, Cedric finds himself over at the Meerkat cabin. He knocks on the door, listening for any sound inside.

"The cab's picking me up at four. My flight's at seven," she said. "I really should have had Bel shimmer me there, but that would have caused too many questions."

It was daylight so Isabel felt reasonably comfortable calling out "Come in!"

He opens the door and peers around the cabin. "I'm not going to walk in on anything, right?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned. "I bet it would. How long are you going to be gone?"

"If all goes well, I should be home next Saturday night," Isabel replied. "Hopefully I won't miss too much excitement."

"You're safe," she laughed. "No scantily clad people in sight. We save the lingerie clad pillow fights for late at night."

"Right," he says and finally approaches Isabel's alcove. Noticing the bag, he asks, "Your turn for a trip now?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, a lot of stuff has happened recently. We're due for a little calm," Molly said with a grin. "Maybe Fandom will wait until you come back to throw the next weird thing at us."

"That would be good," she said and then shook her head. "You realize how odd that answer sounds when you think about it? Yes, please let the next invasion happen when I can be here for it? You think I'd be happy to go back to Roswell where there's only alien wierdness to worry about."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"We do," Isabel said with a grin. "Then we sit around and do each other's nails." She made a face at her bag. "Yes, I'm heading back to Roswell for a bit."

Jack snuck into Meerkat Cabin and down the hall to Isabel's alcove. "Is there room for me in your bag?"

[SP beyond SP today - sorry]

"Invite me next time?" Cedric asks and gives her his best charming smile.

"And you are? Is everything all right?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly giggled. "This place does grow on you."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It does, doesn't it? Both the weirdness and the people." Isabel gave Molly a half smile, "Still it will be nice to see my family and friends again. The last time I was there, things were a little hectic."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She smirked, "I'll keep that in mind."

"I am. Things seem to be okay. But my folks miss me and have shanghied me into visiting." Isabel smiled at Cedric, "This means it's my turn to ask you to look after Jack."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly nodded. "I hope your trip home is more relaxing this time."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I wish," Isabel said as she struggled to stuff a stack of shirts into the already filled bag. "A friendly face would be nice to have on this trip. Not that everyone there isn't friendly. There's just baggage."

"I'm only a phone call away if you need me," he said as he walked in and sat on her bed. "And I'd go with you if you wanted me to."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You and me both," Isabel said with a sad smile. "I don't know if you knew or not, but that trip was for a friend's funeral. I definitely don't want to go through that again."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"A trip home sounds pleasant though," Cedric says. "It sounds nice. And I will. About Jack, I mean."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" Molly said, a little shocked. "No, I didn't know. All I knew was that you had to go home suddenly. I'm so sorry, Isabel."

"You taking off?" Alanna came in with Faithful in her arms.

"I know. Bel to. He promised to be there in five seconds if I needed rescuing," she said with a smile. "A lot of people promised rescuing."
