Jaina told herself she'd claim one of the empty rooms tonight when she felt like getting some sleep, but let's face it. She wouldn't get any sleep at all even if she tried. So instead she camped herself out in the lobby, partly because she could see from where she was sitting what, if anything, was going on in what was left of outside, and partly ( Read more... )

After attempting to walk to the school in order to open the library today, Blackagar discovered that those little creatures seemed to send you back to the dorms whenever they touched you. It had only taken two times for him to very gracefully stay where he was ( Read more... )

It was hot. Far too hot to do anything productive, outside of making a blender's worth of strawberry margaritas. It was also far too hot for pants. It was cool enough, however, to hang out by the campfire pantless (but wearing boxers, much to his dismay) and with a blender's worth of margaritas. The fire wasn't lit, but it was a nice place to sit ( Read more... )

The thing about Jaina's current situation was that she always felt like she had to be around people. It was beginning to get annoying. She took that as a good sign. And since she figured there'd be something wrong with her going to Caritas again, she headed out to the campfire, started a fire... and kind of regretted it because it was a little ( Read more... )

If there was something Dimitri was good at when it came to camping, it was building a decent fire. He could even manage the part about sitting and staring at the fire while his mind churned through all the things he wasn't supposed to be worrying about. It wasn't emo, guardians didn't get emo, it was more an unfortunate awareness ( Read more... )

This was really weird.

Jaina didn't have the anxious, jittery feeling in the cabins that she used to. Some closure and time had done some good there. No, the weird part was that she was still in the cabins again. But it was this or singing insects and she'd already screamed at them twice before the announcement, so she figured she was fighting ( Read more... )

Bruce was at the gym, beating the living hell out of a punching bag. Nine years ago on this date, Bruce's life changed. Two years ago on this date, Bruce left Gotham to start training for a war on crime and hadn't been back since. He couldn't return until he was just about ready. Every moment until then was to be spent preparing for that day ( Read more... )

Ben still had a residual headache from the pounding music in Stark's earlier in the day, but he decided that it was nothing grilled sausages and marshmallows couldn't fix ( Read more... )

So Jaina had said goodbye to two people already and so tonight there needed to be distraction. She might have been overdoing it a bit.

There was pizza for sharing, and a datapad in front of her that she was more or less ignoring for Space Battles on the TV. So sue her, she liked the movie. It was space and things blew up and she found the ( Read more... )

Over the weekend, Jaina had accumulated a lot of spare parts that she had no idea what to do with. This happened when you were eight and in need of a homework droid. After a few days of deciding that she could do nothing with them, she brought them downstairs to add to the collection of parts she'd amassed over three years. And then once she was ( Read more... )
