Room 406, Evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Despite the afternoon's silliness with Dawn and Jack, when evening rolled around Isabel really wasn't in the mood for dealing with people and crowded common rooms. There were too many thoughts going through her head. Worries about what was happening in a room down the hall, worries about why Jack reacted the way he did.

It was easier to pull inward. Which was why Isabel was sitting on the bed in her room attempting to figure out a sudoku puzzle.

"Yeah, that was..." Bridge winces a bit as he sits down on the bed. "Interesting," he finally settles on to describe the events of New Years.

"I'm sure. Poor Cal," she said. "I felt so bad for her."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge agrees. It's kind of an understatement, considering he'd actually felt everything *she* had as her memories returned. "I don't understand why someone would do that."

"Because they're an idiot," Isabel sighed.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"No argument here," Bridge grumbles.

"I'd start a pool on whether or not she kills him, but that would probably be tacky." Isabel shook her head and reached for a brownie. "Shall we think of happier things instead?"

"I like the way you think," Bridge says, smiling somewhat and reaching for a brownie of his own. "What classes are you taking?"

"I'm lucky, I got everything I signed up for," she gleed. "Survival Tactics, Religions, Villians, Revolutions, and Hunting. How about you?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I'm TAing Revolutions!" Bridge grins excitedly. "And I'm also taking Defense Against Malicious Magic, Superheroing, and Engineering."

"I think it should be fun. Although I'm a bit afraid since Parker is in the class. I think she's making real life plans," Isabel snickered. "But color me not shocked at all that you're in Engineering. Is it Earth engineering? Or alien stuff?"

"I'm not entirely sure," Bridge admits. "I'm kind of hoping the latter."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Of course," she agreed. "That would make it interesting. Personally I'm just a bit worried that the only class I can safely talk to my parents about is Religion. Somehow Survival Tactics sounds just a little too extreme."

"I dunno, it seems like a perfectly reasonable class to me," Bridge offers. Bridge has been taking classes on things like armed combat snd surveillance since he was ten. His idea of "reasonable classes" is a bit skewed.

"Bridge my folks still think I'm at a nice, normal boarding school," Isabel pointed out. "They also think I'm just a nice normal seventeen year old."

Bridge thinks about this for a second. "...I suppose that would complicate things, yes."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Just a little. So usually when the ask about classes I'm all, oh they're fine. Yes, my teachers are great." She grinned. "That translates to last week we had an art heist for a final and my teachers are batshit insane."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"That was fun," Bridge says fondly of the art heist. "Even if it went against, like, everything I'd been taught."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh come on," Isabel laughed. "Wasn't it fun to take a walk on the wild side?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Future cop," Bridge points at himself.

"True. But it was only a simulation. It's not like he had us robbing the Louvre or anything like that." She grinned and shook her head. "I can only wonder what this semester is going to bring."
