Crikey!

Jul 23, 2006 21:15

It's a very rare sighting of the Nickius Aphatheticus, otherwise known as Nick Carraway.

Most of you haven't met him. He's been MIA, locked up in his room for the past... very long time.

But he's in 202 now, lounging on the couch while looking through a pile of old books, that aren't "old" to him at all.

If anything, he's the old one.

He may look ( Read more... )

Nina's been roaming the halls, exploring her new home.

She treks up to the second floor, realizing she hasn't eaten in a very long time, not that she's sure what time is anymore. Noticing a room marked "202" and remembering this is where Monk said she could find food, she wanders in. Immediately she notices cans of food in the corner, walks to them, wolfs one down and examines the room.

The first thing she sees is a man sitting on a couch, looking bored.

"Hello," Nina says, directing the comment at the man.

Oh, Nina. Nick's already been watching you, and he's very impressed at the way you can eat!

He shoots a grin her way and straightens up a little.

"Hi there."

She responds to the grin with a smile of her own.

"The name's Nina. Just got here. What's your name?"

Nina can be social when she wants to be.

"Nick," he says, closing the book and tossing it back onto the table. "Been here for a while, but I've kind of... been hiding."

Hey, it's true.

"You know, with the vampires and stuff. Kind of scary for a country boy like myself."

Yes, deep down, Nick's still a country boy. The city, as he discovered, is not his thing. At. All.

There's someone even older than him standing nearby, tilting her head in an attempt to read the titles of some of his books.
This is the first time Joanie's left her room since the meeting debacle. It might be nice to have a book to take back with her.

"What've you got there?"

[ooc: eeek! I would have done this earlier, but there were classes and then my connection went all flooey. *headdesk* aphartime?]

Nick promptly looks up, flashes his (what should be!) award winning smile, and holds the book up.

"Encyclopedia."

pastsurprising July 26 2006, 06:41:32 UTC

Oh, and it's in English, even. Yay.

Joanie returns the smile, a little shyly (although hers is pretty nice too) -- she doesn't want to give him the wrong idea.

"New, aren't you?"

All right, so it's a little hard not to.

"Yes and no," Nick says, looking a bit thoughtful. "I've been here for a while, but... it's taken me some time to adapt and accept the fact that I'll never be home again."
