3rd Floor CR, Sunday Afternoon

Playing with wee Tony the afternoon before had been enough to convince Jack he should watch the entire Space Battles trilogy. It seemed to be valuable cultural knowledge ... and apparently it had a princess tied up while wearing a gold bikini in it ( Read more... )

The smell of pizza wafted down to Jonas's room and, before he could stop himself, he found himself peering interestedly into the common room, eyes on Jack and then the food and then back on Jack.

"Hello," Jack told the shy boy. "You can have some pizza, if you want it. It's good."

"You're bigger than me," Jonas observed but moved into the room and towards the pizza. "Are you old like the Elders?"

"I'm hardly ever bigger than anyone," Jack said, with a tiny smile. "I'm 18. How old are the elders?"

"Old," Jonas said because he didn't really know. "They were a lot of them. They weren't my friends. I didn't have many of those. We didn't have pizza either."

"We didn't have pizza at home for me, either," Jack told him. he hadn't so much had friends his own age, either, but: "Friends ... maybe you can make friends here?"

"Maybe." Jonas didn't sound so sure but he did pick up a piece of pizza that was the size of his head. "I made mud pies with Karla yesterday. She called me her friend."

"If Karla said it, it's probably true," Jack decided. "I'll be your friend, if you don't mind an older one. My name's Jack."

"Hi," Jonas said, giving Jack a wave while balancing the pizza. "I'm Jonas. I live down the hall by myself. That's good, right?"

"It can be," Jack said. "It can be a little lonely, but it's not like you're all by yourself in the building."

"No," he said and took a bite of the pizza. "There's a lot of people here. More people than home. I thought I'd been Released at first but no one else knows what that means so I guess not."

"I don't know what it means either," Jack admitted. "So I must not be from your home."

"Good." Jonas took another bite of the pizza. "Where're you from? Are you someone's big brother? I've got a brother and a sister!"

"I'm from Prague," Jack said. "It's a long, long way away, so here I'm mostly from the island. I" -- he faltered and decided the story of his blood family wasn't really one for a little boy. "I don't have any real little siblings, but I have three here at school. Does that count at all?"

"Maybe." Jonas peered owlishly up at Jack. "What's that mean? Having siblings but they're not real? Are they invisible?"

"No." Though, considering how rarely Jack checked on his, they might as well be. "When we come to this school, we each get another student assigned as a sibling. I've been here long enough to have three. It's not the same as growing up with someone, but it makes the school feel a little smaller."
