The corridors are full of sound now, and Door's glad of that. After meeting for final presentations and final exams, classes had ended. Though birthday and holiday parties had provided some excitement, and Seely and Cally had certainly done their parts to keep things interesting, there hadn't been a lot of people to talk to with so many gone home on holiday.

Though the break's been relaxing, the noise of friends returning and new students arriving is welcome, making the place seem less empty and bringing with it the excitement of a new season of things and people to get to know. Door's left her door open to listen to it as she looks over the course catalog for the new term, as well as to welcome any new or familiar faces that might wander by.

Seely lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. "Think if I bribe the squirrels they'll forget to give me my notes tonight?"

Door thinks about it. "What would you bribe them with?"

Seely shrugged. "I don't know. What do squirrels like? Nuts? Booze? Nut flavoured booze?"

"Do they make that? It sounds rather nice." Door flips a page in her catalog. "And why don't you want to read the news? Too many new students to report on, or is there something specific you don't want to read?"

"I've been looking through old broadcasts," Seely said. "Covering new arrivals day seems to make whoever's broadcasting go nuts."

notajar: (grin)

"Perhaps you should drink the nut-flavoured booze, then," Door suggests with a giggle. "It'd make for an interesting broadcast, anyway." And it wouldn't exactly be the first time he's done it that way, she doesn't feel the need to point out.

"But is there enough nut-flavoured booze in the world to make it through that many notes?"

"When it gets overwhelming you could just slur a lot?" Door makes what she thinks is a drunken face, which it might be if you're a drunken epileptic in the middle of a grand mal seizure. "Andthenlossastuffappenedntherewerepixiliesntacosisleepynowwillow'shotblbbbeeerrrrrrhhhh...."

Seely started giggling so hard he fell off the bed.

Door peers over the end of her bed with concern. "Are you broken?"

"I'm fine," Seely said. "Only landed on my head."

"That's got a history of recovering well from damage," Door agrees.

"Pretty much," Seely grinned.

Isabel knocked on the doorframe. "Help! We're being invaded."

Date: 2007-01-02 05:27 pm (UTC)
notajar: (hmm)
From: [personal profile] notajar
Door looks up warily, sensing a certain lack of actual panic in Isabel's voice. "By what now?"

Date: 2007-01-02 05:32 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com
"New people," she said, shaking her head. "Which means another round of warnings about gremlins, locker 327, trolls and jello dragons. Why they don't print up brochures is beyond me."

"Well, there's the course listing," Door points out (and to it). "You'd think things like 'Defense against Malicious Magic' might serve as some sort of clue. Then again, people see what they want to see - parents probably think it involves somebody pulling a vicious rabbit out of a hat."

Isabel laughed. "Denial, it's not just a river. But I do like that image. Beware the vicious bunny. Have you figured out what you're signing up for?"

"The Doctor's new course, hopefully - I'd like to take another class with him. And I'm thinking of driver education, though who knows if a car would even work for me back home." Door shrugs. "Even if it wouldn't, I'd like to know how."

"I've signed up for that as well, I enjoyed his workshop last summer. And who knows, it could come in useful," she said. "I passed on driving. I learned back home. I wish I had a car here. I miss our jeep."

"There's not a lot of room for them here," Door says, thinking of the narrow streets of town. She laughs at herself. "Perhaps I should buy a bicycle and learn to ride that before I graduate to things with motors. I don't know."

"Oh I know. It's just every time I want to go someplace off island, I need to borrow a car. It's annoying." Isabel laughed, "That might be a good place to start. Or maybe one of the gliders people keep turning up with."

Door tilts her head. "Gliders?"

"You haven't seen them? Cam has one and I think Molly does as well," she said. "They're like bikes that fly through the air."

notajar: (enthusiastic)
From: [personal profile] notajar
"Oh, the swoop things!" Door nods. "I went to the race. They're fast."

Date: 2007-01-02 08:53 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com
"Aren't they? I really need to ask someone to take me for a ride on one. They look like fun," Isabel grinned. "Cam did promise me a ride after I helped him fix the paint on his."

"I like adventures, but that might be a little too adventurous for me," Door says, though the tilt of her head might indicate she's not completely decided on that idea.

"It's really no different then driving in a car," Isabel pointed out. "You just move a little faster."

"Through the air..."

"It's the same thing as flying a plane?" Isabel shrugged.

"I've never done that either," Door points out.

Isabel thought about how Door had brought her back to the dorm during the troll attack. "Good point, your method of travel is much less aggravating. I bet you never get held up by storms at O'Hare."

notajar: (opening - wall)
From: [personal profile] notajar
That's an airport, Door remembers from the pictures of Chicago that Ray showed her in computer class. "Mostly I walk or ride the underground, really. Opening doors to other places wears me out pretty fast."
