meet-and-greet | January 2016

[governors]

The Governors do this, sometimes; they hold a meet-and-greet for the new arrivals to help them get acclimated, and also to distract them from destroying their rooms. A message goes out to all the new arrivals informing them of a party with free food. Everyone likes free food, right?

In one of the recreation areas - sadly, not one of the ones accessible by slide - there are some chips, dip, some sodas and Solo cups, several large pizzas, and a surprising amount of Oreos.

Party.

"Some one was going to say it," he said with a laugh. "I figured I might as well get it out of the way."

She shakes her head and rolls her eyes, biting back a smile. "Look, when we're under attack and everything is terrible, I'm letting everyone know you said that. It is absolutely going to be your fault. Definitely not the fault of whoever brought us here. All yours."

He nodded sadly. "I'll just have to learn to live with that, I guess." He grinned a little at her. "Maybe if I tempt fate enough, they'll send me home. Too much trouble."

[cisskabob]

She laughed, smiling fondly back at him. They might be literal universes or realities away from home, and they might not have spoken in person in years, but just knowing that he was here made her feel about a thousand times better than she had when she'd decided to come join this silly party.

Hell, she felt a thousand times better than she had since arriving.

"Well, if you manage that, don't forget me."

[mrsarcastic003]

He gave her a sidelong look. "I figured you'd be right alongside me, getting into trouble. Like old times." He paused. "Well, not totally like old times. I don't think anyone will steal your clothes on you, but, you know."

And also, no capes or anything like that, but he thought she knew what he meant anyway.

[cisskabob]

She blinked, and burst out laughing. It had been a long time since she'd thought about the boys stealing her clothes. She reached out and punched him in the arm, though it wasn't with any real strength. "If we're talking old times, then I think you mean I'll be right alongside you, getting you back out of said trouble."

"I was a paragon of virtue," he said solemnly. "I'm sure I was never in any trouble."
