Platypus Alcove B2, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

The rain literally put a damper on Isabel's plans for a campfire. Forced to stay inside, she sat on her bed with her laptop and played many rounds of solitare.

[oh so open...]

"Helloooooo?" Dawn called from the doorway of the cabin. She was soaking wet and dripping, almost as if she'd been playing in the thunderstorm. "Isabeeeeeel? Are you here?"

[izzyalienqueen]

"I'm over here," Isabel called, setting aside the laptop and sticking her head out of her alcove. "You're all wet!"

[lilpunkinbelly]

Dawn dripped her way over to Isabel's alcove. "Yup. It's raining."

[izzyalienqueen]

"Which is why I'm in here instead of out near the fire like I'd orginally planned. I can dry you off if you'd like," she offered. "I wouldn't want to see you get sick. Not when I've been making plans and want you in on them."

[lilpunkinbelly]

"Oooh, plans? What kind of plans?" Dawn asked eagerly, "Also, dry me if you want. My underwear's getting wet, and I hate that."

[izzyalienqueen]

"Dry first," Isabel told her. "Then we can sit."

She passed her hand over Dawn's clothes and hair, drying them quickly, then sat back down on her bed, leaving plenty of room for Dawn.

"What would you think about a road trip?"

[lilpunkinbelly]

"You get the coolest powers," Dawn decided, plopping down on the bed. "Depends. Where're we going?"

[izzyalienqueen]

"Did you ever want to see New York City?" she asked. "Please say yes and save me from an overdose of testosterone poisoning."

[lilpunkinbelly]

"I, uh, testosterone poisoning?"

[izzyalienqueen]

"There was a discussion of pizza," Isabel explained. "It evolved into Peter offering to treat me to real New York pizza. And then he suggested bringing Gavin, Karal and Sam along. Which is great, they're really nice guys, but that's just too much testosterone for me to take on my own."

[lilpunkinbelly]

"I don't think I know anyone but Sam, but sure, I could go for a slice of pizza," she grinned, her gossip sensors finely tuned. "So, Peter, huh?"

[izzyalienqueen]

"Gavin and Karal are new. But they're both very nice," she smiled. "You'll like them. And it'll be fun to introduce them to pizza." There was another question?

[lilpunkinbelly]

"I'm sure. But go back to the Peter part..."

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel looked down and shrugged. "He's nice. We went bowling and he took me to the clinic after I had my run-in with the psycho in the woods. And then we camped out in the dorms after that because there was no way in hell I was going to try to come back out here after that."

[lilpunkinbelly]

"Serious?" She asked, then frowned. "Also, hello, psycho in the woods and you don't say anything???"

[izzyalienqueen]

"Serious? No. We're just hanging out and having fun," she said, shaking her head. "And I went to the sheriff! I wasn't going to gather the mob to go looking for this guy."
