[ooc] everything was closed at Coney Island

Jan 21, 2006 03:08


Veronica appears on the island while walking on the beach near her apartment before school, and she's less than thrilled by what she initially suspects is an overly elaborate practical joke. It doesn't help that that Ariel chick knows her name. But William Bush seems nice enough, if less than convinced by Veronica's mad skillz.

The Compound seems nothing short of insanely suspicious to her, but she finds a bed. Rest and peace of mind are a wholly different question, though, and she spends the night lying awake and sleeping fitfully. She wakes up early, as Bush told her she should, and joins the boat building crew, when Bush tells her to make rope. Right.

The next morning, she meets Bill and Chris, enjoys a muffin, and tries the coffee. She spends the day exploring the area of the island near the Compound, camera in hand, iPod in pocket, and then attends a meeting of the Dead Poets' Society, where she recites Dorothy Parker's "Coda," which probably should be considered her general outlook on life — particularly now that she's trapped on a desert island. Afterward, she wanders around some and talks to Chris again.

Subject to change, as these threads are pretty much unfinished, but it's nice to have a place to keep all the links so I know where to look.
