Bringing a friend to the cantina. ((locked to victormakesart))

There was a swish and a slight flash, and then Albus was standing near the bar with Fawkes on his shoulder and a young woman at his side. He blinked as always at the sudden change in scenery, then looked around with a smile to see if he could see anyone that he recognized before turning to Victor. "How do you feel, my dear?"

"They were long shorts," she assured her. "It was an in'erestin' day in class, t' say the least. Can't remember, f'r the life of me, what I learned."

((Neat!))

[random_xtras]

Mary chuckled, squickedness at fishnets forgotten. "Sounds like any day Jack's awake."


((I think the gal's still walled up in a corner of Jean's mind... forgotten.))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

Victor hung out with a diverse crowd. "Niiiiiice. Who's th' Jack-person?"

((Awww! Poor chickadee.))

[random_xtras]

"Jack Sparrow." Mary smirked and chased bits of purple mashed potato around her plate. "A thirteen year old version."


((lol, she was a badun))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She laughed, then ate slowly. "Poor deary, stuck in a school."

((Stiiiiiiill. :D ))

[random_xtras]

"Stuck in school, stuck in clean clothes, stuck sober." Mary sniggered. "He's kinda cute though. Robbie's cuter, though."

Cassie, meanwhile, arranged everything and got up to lay Nathan on Mnlon on the couch.

She tipped her a wink. "Poor kid. Now, if I was forced t' do th' opposite, I'd've a prob."

[random_xtras]

A grin full of unrepentant mischief came back her way. "Always thought school'd be a drag, but it's not."

"Does anybody want ketchup or anything?" asked Cassie from the fridge.

"Oops." Mary blinked and looked around, realizing that she'd forgotten the condiments.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She suppressed a snicker at the 'drag' comment. Really. She was a Grown Up. "Yeah. High school...really rocked."

"N' thank you." :D

[random_xtras]

"I'm just in junior high yet...." Mary watched Cassie bring ketchup and mustard over, then offered a grin that made Cassie blink and look down at her plate for a moment before she grinned back and cut more roast.

Which was strangely delicious.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Ah, well, it's somethin' t' really look forward to. I think. Grade're y' in now?" Small giggle and she took a tiny bite of the roast. Grin.

[random_xtras]

"They don't do grades like on Earth." Mary went nuts with the ketchup and offered it to her. "I'm in year thirteen."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Aye, an interdimensional school, then?" She cut another small piece. "No thank y'. Year thirteen...sounds cool."

[random_xtras]

"Nope. It's just the city school. Though we've got one kid who comes in from another reality." Mary shrugged. "It just means the class that all the thirteen year olds're in."

"Still sounds cool," noted Cassie, cutting her roast.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Ah, neato, that."

"Totally. Completely diff'rent system 'n I'm usedta."

[random_xtras]

"We've all got our own stuff to do most of the time." Mary paused to grab a bun from the bowl next to the potatoes and butter it till it needed to be classified a health hazard. "All geared to what we can do and what we're good at 'n all that cr... stuff."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She coughed back a laugh at the temporary slip, and took a sip of water instead. "That rocks. Always thought that'd me a more efficient system. 'S what ain't cool 'bout college. 'M majorin' in creative writin' an' I hafta take chem an' geology. An' mathematics. Philosophy courses I c'n un'erstand, but..."

[random_xtras]

Even Cassie blinked at that. "If you've got enough math and chem to do your job you don't really need fancy courses. It's just money that you could use for something else."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"'Zactly. It's a conspiracy," she said with a matter-of-fact grin. "Perpetuated by big business."

[random_xtras]

"Too bad you, like, can't just come here." Mary rubbed her nose as it itched and wondered if she'd get away with kissing Robbie. The thought made her turn red.

"Don't try it," said Cassie without really looking up.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Oooh. That'd be neat. 'M goin' t' the second best school f'r m' major, as currently, though."

She did a bit of a headtilty at the 'don't try it' because she didn't notice anything unusual, and it wasn't proper to mention when someone was blushing. Then she glanced at Mary. "Mmm?"

[random_xtras]

Mary put her hands over her cheeks, mentally cursing herself for only blushing for one reason. "Which one's that?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"University of Houston. 'S sorta...in th' Third Ward. Biggest crime rate in th' U.S."

She looked even more confused, frowned slightly. "'S goin' on? Did I say somethin' wrong?"

[random_xtras]

"Oh... fun." Mary blinked, then sighed and shook her head. "No. I was just thinking about something I'm not supposed to do till I'm older." A glance at Cassie's slight amused head shaking and a sudden rotten grin that came with more blushing. "Kissing boys."

"A lot older." Cassie chuckled and gently flipped a piece of pimento at her.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Yep! I love it, though. 'S home." She made a bit of a face, before she managed to supress her 'kissing is gross' reaction. That was tough. Very tough. Sheepish-sheepish. "'S...ummmm...ahem. Heh. Yeah."
