1am - Common room (any level) likedarkmatter July 13 2011, 22:39:40 UTC

[Alice sleeps very lightly and not for very long. Hence the dead of night finds her not in her room but on a sofa in a common room, drinking a cup of tea and reading a book.]

[Early morning hours are the best creeping hours. Jim was up, as normal, though it was difficult to really tell if he's still asleep or just up early. Even he couldn't really say. Roaming the corridors without all the usual hustle and bustle was disconcerting, but tolerable, for him and he was enjoying the quiet that it brought.

Passing a common room gave him pause as he noticed movement. Turning slowly, hands in the pockets of his suit, he paused, waiting by the doorway. He was cautious here.]

It's a little late to be reading, isn't it?

[Jim Moriarty. He, like the Sherlock she'd met, were from a time period she hadn't anticipated - but then again, she already understood the nature of the Barge's populace, and popular culture had been a morass of remakes and reboots and adaptations for years. It was no great surprise. She flattened the book against her chest.]

Isn't it a little late to be asking? [Her tone was playful rather than confrontational.]

[Hm. He had many things to consider at the moment. But, ultimately, he decided to step inside. Just a few lazy, though calculated moves. He had an image to maintain, after all.]

My dear girl, it's never too late to ask questions. It might be too late to act on the answers, though. [He looked away, pretending to think deeply about that. Then he sighed.] Ah, but I've also decided it's also much too late to think about anything on more than one level.

Gives me quite a headache. [Pause.] What are you reading?

Re: 1am - I didn't even notice :c likedarkmatter July 14 2011, 15:50:30 UTC

Paradise Lost. [It was an old favourite, and there was something about the struggle of a miserable, arrogant antihero against all all-powerful being that seemed apposite here. She turned a page.]

[Two more steps.] No light reading at this hour, I assume. [He sat down in a nearby chair, though he faced the door. Always giving himself an out.]

I always preferred happy stories myself. [He paused with a chuckle.]

Have you ever watched Glee? I love Glee. Now those are happy stories.

I can't say that I have. [Alice consumed pop culture easily enough, but - with a handful of exceptions - usually ten or twenty years after it was popular. Or more.] Bit of a bookworm, I'm afraid. On the other hand, we're much closer to a lot of good books than we are to the latest episode of - well - anything.

Re: 1am consultcriminal July 15 2011, 19:56:11 UTC

I know. [Feeling lazy, he drew out the vowel in that word. There was disappointment in his voice as he leaned back, seemingly at ease now.]

Books are a novelty for most. I don't often have the time to indulge in them. Tsk, tsk, I know. It's a shame, really. But, well, we've all the time we need here.

Re: 1am likedarkmatter July 15 2011, 22:17:19 UTC

All the time, full stop. [She gave up any pretence of reading and set her book down beside her.] You're a recent arrival, then?

Re: 1am consultcriminal July 15 2011, 22:23:07 UTC

Hm? Oh, yes. You're not? [His pesky problem with his communicator the past weekend had made it difficult to get anything done right.]

Or are you?

10.15am - Library likedarkmatter July 15 2011, 22:29:56 UTC

[She supposed she could lie, but there was really no advantage to be gained from it. She smiled brightly.]

For my sins. [Literally.] I arrived about a day and a half ago.

Fascinating. I wonder if we always come at the same time. [He lightly hit the arms of the chair and then stood up in one motion.] Return to your reading. I'm sure it's just fascinating.

I assume we'll see each other around. It's a big place, but the space is finite.

Re: 1am likedarkmatter July 15 2011, 22:54:31 UTC

[The darker part of her mind flinched away from the fact that she was being dismissed, but she let it go. A random encounter with a stranger was ending, that was all. She retrieved her book and found the page, slipping back into Milton's prose.]

Quite right. I don't imagine anyone could avoid each other if they tried.
