Skip Wiley (Tourist Season, by Carl Hiaasen)

[flameofdecember]

Skip drops into a chair out of nowhere. He glances with some puzzlement at the hole in his jeans, but appears to decide it's not important. Having nothing better to do, he readies himself to answer the questions put to him.

"I don't think the shampoo would do me any good." Aayla motioned to her lekku and smiled. "What's a Mako?"

[flameofdecember]

*Skip stares.* No, I don't think it would...

*Coughs nervously* A Mako's a type of motorboat. *Glances out the window* Which appears to have ended up on the edge of the lake out there.

She looked outside and grinned. Primitive, but not bad. "Nice boat. Would you mind giving me a ride in it at some point? I'll vote you into a House regardless of your answer, but it looks like it could be fun as long as the weather stays hospitable."

[flameofdecember]

Uh, sure.

From what I've heard, Slytherin seems to fit me best, although I wouldn't actually mind Ravenclaw too much, and a couple people so far seem to have voted me into Gryffindor.

*Skip can't quite get over this. In his mind, there's only one thing Aayla can be. An alien! So they do exist!*

Vote: Slytherin

"Slytherin, then. Whenever you get a chance, send me an owl. I'm Aayla, in Gryffindor. I hope you enjoy it here."

Sure will!
