Room 406, afternoon to early evening.

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel returned to her room after Hunting still vaguely surprised that Dick hadn't gotten them killed. She booted up the laptop and opened her email, absently looking at her inbox. That lasted about 2.4 seconds, basically long enough for her to realize the numerous messages from the same address were not a Nigerian money scam. Her screech could probably be heard down the hall.

Two hours later, Isabel was still sitting there, rereading the emails for what seemed like the millionth time.

The door was open.

"It better." Alanna said with more than a little passion.

"Or will track down their home office and protest?"

Isabel grinned, "So what else is up? How are things with Kawalsky?"

Alanna grinned goofily. "How are things with you and Greg?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh no! I asked first!" she pointed out laughing.

Alanna smoothered a giggle. "We went to a hockey game last night."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh really? Did you have fun?" Isabel asked, oddly reminded of Michael and his hockey obsession.

The goofy grin? Was back. Faithful was rolling his eyes. "Yup. Now, my question."

"I see," she laughed. "Greg and I are doing well. It'll be eight months at the end of the month. Kind of hard to believe."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, tell me about it. I don't with Charlie and I are actually keeping track. Or...if we are I'm not aware."

"Generally we don't make a big deal about it," she said. "But because our first date fell at the end of the month, I can't help but notice the time."

Alanna nodded. "It's been a weird few days."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Just generalized weirdness? Or anything specific?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna considered this. "Generalized. And not bad for once."

"And it's only the beginning of the semester. Can you imagine what it's going to be like by break?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna groaned. Faithful patted her on the head. "With that cheerful thought? I think it's time for me and my cat to take my emo else where. Thanks for re-affirming the 'I'm-not-crazy-over-e-mail' thing."

Isabel snickered. "Sorry! I'll see you in class tomorrow!"
