[Abby was sitting outside, fiddling with the communications device. If there was some way to connect it to the outside world, she would find it. She would need something to distract her while she was here. Maybe she'd make a video diary to show the team when she got back.]

[[OOC: They really won't get to the dorms until sometime during the morning or early afternoon on Day 2. They spent the night exploring the rest of the place on Day 1.]]

Another living area. Eliot and Parker passed the South one sometime in the night, and East sometime before sunrise, so in theory, this should be the West one. The hitter rolled his shoulder and adjusted the police vest. After their trip in the mall added new items to it, it was even heavier than what he arrived in.

He took out the mysterious key he woke up with last evening and used the tip to point to the low leveled building. "This is it." He gave the sparse few guests around the entrance a surveying glance. "Doesn't look like they have room service here."

((OOC: Whoops, still getting used to it.))

Abby had figured out most of the communication device by the time they showed up. When she saw the man in the police uniform and the blonde approach, she felt a small sense of relief. Police uniforms reminded her of safety and being home. She was no doubt with several people who were fully capable of taking care of themselves, but she also had the feeling some of them came from worlds far different from her own. Without getting up, she waved.

"Glad to see you made it. Well I mean, I don't know you personally, but I'm glad you're not wandering around out there with the worms and whatever else there is."

Spotting the movement out of the corner of his eye, Eliot turned to find a woman waving at them. After turning to give Parker a puzzled 'don't ask me' look, Eliot walked first in the woman's direction.

"So are we, ma'am," he answered, putting on a warm smile for the lady. "It was a rough night out. Agent Spooner," he introduced, holding out his hand for a shake.

(OOC: I love that episode. :D )

Abby shakes both hands with equal enthusiasm. An officer and an agent, what a good start. "I'm Abby and I work for Naval Criminal Investigative Services in the forensic lab. If I just say NCIS, people get it confused with that TV show."

After shaking their hands, Abby looks a little bit closer at Parker's makeup and her smile gets wider. "Wow, that's cool. Were you pretending to be a zombie or something?"

I feel like an idiot. He meant Officer Spooner above.

"I know what you mean. I kind of wish someone I knew was here with me too, but then again this isn't really a place I'd want anyone I knew to be because it's pretty creepy. " Abby couldn't shake the feeling that they were hiding something. But, she didn't have any proof and this whole thing was hinky so maybe her radar was off.

[Abby had forgotten all about her key. She looked at it and grinned.] Hey, I'm in the room right next to you. What are the odds of that?

[stabswithforks]

Yeah, what are the odds? [Another false smile.] It's like you've never considered the possiblity that there's limited dorm spaces and people's rooms will share walls with one another.

[Smiles, tipping her head to one side with a sympathetic look.] Wow. Sad, huh?

[distinctive_guy]

To which Eliot swiftly elbowed Parker in the ribs, moderated, he wasn't looking to crack them. "Place doesn't look too big," he agreed, resisting the urge to give the thief a glare in front of an audience.

"But really? Neighbors?" He raised his eyebrows with interest. "You've been inside and looked around?"

[cafpowgirl]

[Abby was temporarily confused, but decided to ignore Parker and instead answer Officer Spooner.} I have. It's a bit outdated, but most of the rooms seem serviceable. There are some that have been nearly destroyed though, not sure why.

[She pauses, then remembers something else.] They gave us all laptops, which I guess fits with the whole [air quote] "virtual reality" we're supposed to be in.
