Action, On a Sunday

[sun_sun]

[New school! Living on her own! A new and no doubt bizarre world to discover.

After finishing up registration, dropping her stuff off in her (at the time empty) new room, and bidding farewell to her parents, Annie heads out into the bright, shining outdoors (okay, it's 56 degrees and cloudy) to explore her beautiful new home.

No classes today, so there should be people hanging around campus, right? PRIORITY 1 MAKE FRIENDS, PRIORITY 2 TO BE DETERMINED LATER]

[So yeah, general exploratory first-day action mingle. Have at it.]

It must be. Sometimes it says stuff in my head.

[He shrugs.]

Weather aside, it's way better than my local high school.

[inchesofevil]

Whoa, is it sentient? That's amazing! Does it get sensory information from you, too? See what you see and shit?

[pause. uhhh maybe...he is...nerding out a little too hard. don't creep the kid out, Duncan.] Sorry, I'm just, uh, really interested in...stuff...

...Anyway. I'm Doctor Jackson. [he shifts the umbrella around so he can offer a handshake] I run the infirmary.

[soundslikehighmay]

It's...Yeah, I guess? I don't know how it sees.

[SUBJECT CHANGE THANK GOD.]

Why am I not surprised we have an actual doctor here? That must keep you busy.

[inchesofevil]

Heh, sometimes.

So where was your local high school? Pretty safe bet it wasn't anywhere around here.

[soundslikehighmay]

El Paso. It was warmer.

[inchesofevil]

[he brightens up immediately] No shit! I'm from Texas, too! Austin-ish for me, though.

Tell me about it. How many people have given you shit for dressing warm so far?

[soundslikehighmay]

Three or four. Lots of weird looks, too.

Jokes on them, I'M not the one who's going to freeze to death.

[inchesofevil]

Yeah, get used to that, it never stops.

You'll be the one laughing when summer rolls around, too. D'you know they think 80 is a heatwave up here?

[HMM maybe he should stop holding this kid up to talk about the weather, though. even if it is nice to see another Texan up here in the frigid northwest.]

Hey, you want me walk you over to the history wing while I'm here?

[soundslikehighmay]

Pfft. 80. Wimps.

[He shrugs, nods, and starts walking.]

[inchesofevil]

Right?

[Duncan leads him over to the other building, stepping back once Jaime is safely under the overhang.]

But hey, if you ever need to escape the frigid north, it's always warm in the infirmary.

[soundslikehighmay]

It'll be a taste of home.

No offense though but hopefully I don't end up in the infirmary a lot.

[inchesofevil]

[well. that's a fair sentiment. he smiles and shrugs]

None taken.

Anyway, see you around--uh... Don't think I got your name.

[soundslikehighmay]

Jaime.

[inchesofevil]

See you around, Jaime.

Keep warm.

[and he's gone. back off to the infirmary where it is warm and not miserably wet.]
