Room 406, evening

Isabel hit the common room kitchen after Hunting to make a quick batch of brownies, then made a quick trip down the hall to wave them in front of someone's door, and then returned to her room to write an email to Maria.



Hey Maria!

Another semester's begun. It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Officially the semester started on Monday. But the only thing I did was to stop by Greg's to see if he'd recovered from his hangover. He had and I got to meet his new roommate. And his new pet mold spore. Greg's, not the new roomie's. If he wakes up one morning and the thing is trying to eat him? I'm so saying I told you so.

Yesterday I had library detail. I got shanghaied by a teacher and got to torment my Little Brother. It was entertaining. My only class was Revolutions, which was fun because my friends were in it, and actually interesting. Of course it makes me wonder if we're doing the right thing with this whole save the planet deal but don't tell Max I said that.

Today was interesting. You know how I said I got shanghied by the teacher? She wanted me to play dead body for her Forensics class. It was actually interesting but I felt bad because seeing me like that sort of freaked Greg and Parker out. After that, it was Hunting and the now usual Gee, I'm an alien speech.

In non-class news, I had lunch with Neil today. He's the guy I told you about? The one Greg threatened to feed to the gremlins. He's from the 1950s, so he's very sweet and polite. We're going to be friends, all innocent like, because I think to even consider anything else would probably make him die of embarassment.

Jack's doing better. I took a chance and forced him to talk last night. Sometimes he can be as stubborn as your Space-boy. But it all worked out. So all in all? Life is good.

Talk to you soon!

Isabel



She hit send, then opened up her browser and started browsing some of the Mr. What message boards looking for spoilers on the new season.

"His head is on fire," Greg replied.

"Did you?" Parker's eyebrows went up. "About what? I saw him this morning. We had an interesting conversation too."

"It's been a little weird since he got back," Isabel said, trying to explain without getting into the details. "He just seemed off to me. And then at your party, I said something and he got really freaked by it. I didn't know if it was me, or the situation or what but I knew it had to be related to whatever happened while he was at the Time Agency. So last night I had him meet me at the beach and made him talk."

"Real then," Isabel said, oddly not that surprised. "And according to Parker, Ares, the god of War is teaching my class tomorrow. Is Fandom becoming a vacation retreat for wayward Olympians?"

Greg shrugged. "I gave him a rubber duckie named Herman so he would like me."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Apparently he must have liked it? Since you weren't smited." She patted his leg affectionately. "Just don't get yourelf banished. I'm not sure I'm ready for another trip to the Underworld. Their dress code is just way too tacky."

"Tacky or not, you made it work," Greg said admiringly.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"You just liked the leather," Isabel teased.

[identity profile] like-a-sponge.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"...maybe," he admitted.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Tell you what," she grinned. "Teal Deer is playing at Caritas on Friday. Maybe I'll wear them then, just with a more tasteful top."

Greg didn't bounce.

Except he did. "Okay! I'll be there. With bells on, except not."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Isabel laughed, "A bell might make it easier to find you in the crowd. Especially with all the new people around. I haven't met all that many of them but the ones I have seem pretty nice."

[identity profile] like-a-sponge.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"They're chatty," Greg complained.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do we need to make a rule that everyone has to sit quietly in their rooms on Thursdays when you have radio?" she asked, amused.

[identity profile] mparkerceo.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Off didn't quite cover what Parker had thought of Jack's reactions, but she wasn't about to expand on that with Isabel. "Did it help? Are you guys okay now?" She reached out to pet Annie again, watching her flirt her tail back and forth as she purred.

[identity profile] like-a-sponge.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"That would be a good rule," Greg said thoughtfully. "And I can just say 'Stuff happened.'"

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"It did. And we are. It got tense for a while though," she said, fluffing a pillow with a little more oomph then really necessary. "Those sadistic bastards."

[identity profile] mparkerceo.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Parker grimaced. "I have an idea what happened, although no specifics. I very much resent being used against Jack in their testing." She frowned, looking grim. "I'd love to show my appreciation at some point. Do you think graffiti that could be seen from space would cover it? 'The Time Agency Sucks Rocks'?"

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"You and me both. Especially like that." Isabel sighed, reminding herself that they'd dealt with it and that things would be okay. "That's an option. "Although personally I'm thinking radio transmitter. Given the distances a message would have to travel, I'm thinking it would just make it to the 51st century in time. Personally I'm leaning towards 'We're keeping him you bastards.' Cause seriously? Stashing him in my closet sounds like a really good idea."

"Speaking of stuff happening," Isabel said, putting the brownie plate on her desk and stretching out on her bed. "It seems like stuff happened and we never got a chance for a proper welcome back."

[identity profile] like-a-sponge.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Greg smiled and meandered over to join her. "Hmm. You make a good point. I mean, we haven't christened the new year."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
She snuggled up against, sliding her hands under his shirt. "That's a terrible oversight on our part. We need to fix that."

[identity profile] like-a-sponge.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"You are so smart," Greg murmured, kissing her neck.

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-01-11 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Damn straight," Isabel whispered, just before she proceeded to show him exactly how smart she was.

[FTB due to RL. Woe.....]

"I know. And he still wants to work for them." And with Captain Jack saying Jack *had* to go back, Parker had a feeling they might come looking if someone kidnapped him. "I think the radio transmitter has to happen, though. Maybe the day he graduates. Give them a good scare." She sighed, and reached for another brownie befoe pulling her hand back. "I talked to him after my first class this morning. Somehow they had him wondering if anyone missed him, the last time he went missing. I could bitchslap them just for that."
