As much as she likes to explore and meet new people, Door found herself a bit worn out from talking to so very many of them in Constant Vigilance on Friday. Thus after her shopping trip to town with people she was at least a bit more familiar with, a weekend spent mostly in her room (aside from Saturday evening, when she'd handwavily taken a wander up to the roof to read in order to let Seely have his movie night with... someone she hasn't met yet) had proved a relaxing change.

Having not quite got as far as learning how to find the World Wide Web by herself in internet class on Wednesday, and with her meeting for Sunday tea with Walter temporarily cancelled, Door spent quite a bit of said weekend poking at the computer on her own -- in between studying for the first real lesson in Cross-Species Communication, and enjoying the fruits of having finally discovered the library. She's not entirely sure about her chances of being chosen as a library aide considering the next-to-nothing she knows about the way this library is arranged, but hopefully the fact that she's trying to learn more will help with that. And even if it doesn't, it should help her find things for herself, so there's really no bad there.

Now, though, Door's getting a bit restless. She's lying on her bed with the laptop, already dressed in some of the new clothes she bought on Friday, and still diligently trying to hunt, peck and click her way past the school website without getting lost on the ever-branching number of paths the internet seems to offer, but she's left the door to the room open, glancing up every so often to see if anyone's wandering past, and pondering the idea of taking a wander herself. Possibly back to London to see if de Carabas has sent some sort of reply, but she's not sure how safe that is, so she might wait a few more days to try that one.

[OOC: The door is.... oh come on. I refuse to say it. The post, however, is totally ajar.]

Alanna was bored. Alanna saw an open door. Alanna knocked on the door, Faithful perched on her shoulder.

"Hi! I'm Alanna Trebond and my cat talks." Alanna said very quickly "Hey! I didn't get to torment here first!" Faithful pouted. "That was the goal."

"Cats talk where you're from? Cool. And yeah, English. And he won't stop talking either." Faithful smirked. "Meow." "Gyah. Oh, where are my manners? Shut up!" Faithful didn't say a word. "Nice to meet you I don't think I got your name."

"Door." Faithful repeated. "You're name was the final straw in the crazy fandom name for me." He informed her. "Faithful." Alanna chided. "Where are you from then?"

"I'm a cat." Faithful pointed. "Plus she" he pointed at Alanna with his tail. "named me. Of course I have an odd name." Alanna rolled her eyes. "I've never been to London. A group of students went last term though."

"I'm sorry to hear that. I'm...not exactly from around here either." Alanna smile was tight.

"It's in a different world." Alanna explained. "For me, it's currently 437 and magic is real."

"Not in every world." Alanna said. "There are worlds that have no magic, or have different magic. At least...that's what it seems like."

"Exactly." Alanna said only getting the most general gist of that.

Alanna snapped her fingers and a ball of purple fire appeared in her hand. "We have the Gift, at home."

"Still...cool. And very handy." Alanna extinguished the fire. "I'm mostly a healer actually. My twin is a rather powerful sorceror."

Alanna nodded. "Mine too. Did they send you here?"

Alanna winced. "I'm sorry. I uh...well, I only have my twin. Fandom has a thing against people with normal families I think."
