After work, Bod had spent a few minutes in his room before the feeling to stretch his legs and go elsewhere caught him. He didn't go far though. The common room was empty which meant it was easy to spread out the Thai food Bod had picked up after he'd gotten off from the library. He'd ordered a lot for no other reason than it made good leftovers ( Read more... )

Yes, it was ridiculous to be outside in this weather. Yet all the same, Miley bundled up in her new winter coat (the product of a collaborative shopping effort between her and Lilly; it had depended upon the use of Skype on their zPhones as Lilly wandered around the only store in Atlanta to have started the winter collection this early).

It had been bad enough to wake up as a pony. Now Topher was realizing that his hooves made it impossible to play video games. Video games. IT WAS KILLING HIM.

Skeptical of half the stories that had been told him, yes, but a touch of healthy skepticism had never helped anyone ( Read more... )

The first thing Peter had done when the island moved was-- well, check his bottle of water, just to make sure no one'd slipped anything in it to turn him as nuts as half the people he'd met here so far ( Read more... )

Oblivious to a certain voicemail she'd failed to notice yet thanks to her phone battery having run out within thirty seconds of receiving said message, Kate was having a good day so far. She'd spent her morning exploring the island's new surroundings (which she had decided she loved), and had then come back into town to get posters made for the ( Read more... )

After a somewhat stressful week, Kate had actually managed to have a pretty pleasant weekend. (A handwavy one-month anniversary could do that to a girl.) She was relaxed and something approaching happy, so today was the perfect day to devote to third floor party planning. Which was good since, you know, she hadn't actually done a lot of it yet. She ( Read more... )
