Orientation - Fetching Refreshments

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:04 pm

"Oh hey, there you are." Kay says, finally finding Miranda with the coolers. "Already running out of things?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:09 pm

"Going to," she said. "And the minds were getting to be a bit much. I guess I'm not as ready for some things as I thought. I need more practice with Mum."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:15 pm

"Oh. Yeah, it's probably pretty crazy out there for you."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:16 pm

"Between the people who haven't learned to shield their thoughts and the random bursts of... well, whatever it is I got from Mom, it's a little maddening."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:24 pm

"Well, you're not missing much. When I passed by the table Haley was getting chatted up by Mister Gabriel and Mister Sackville." she rolls her eyes.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:25 pm

"So back to business as usual then?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:29 pm

"Pretty much." she chuckles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:33 pm

"So what are you doing out here?"

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:38 pm

"What? I need a reason to hand out with my girlfriend?" she smiles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:40 pm

"Well, no, but I figured you'd be circulating, meeting the new people."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:46 pm

"Nah, they're all forming their own little groups right now. Maybe later."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:50 pm

"I'm surprised you didn't want to say hi to Brigid's dad," she teased.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:53 pm

"Okay, fine, I might be hiding from him right now." she admits.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:00 pm

"Thought so," she said. "It's kind of hard to miss the big scary man."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:03 pm

"He is super scary. Oh my god! When Brigid and me snuck on that plane and got left in the jungle I thought he was gonna rip my head right off. No joke!"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:06 pm

"I doubt he would have done that any more than Mom would actually incinerate me."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:08 pm

"Yeah, yeah, you're right. Way to ruin my hyperbole." she chuckles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:13 pm

"Oh, sorry. I did it again."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:29 pm

"Well you're right, he's not literally gonna kill me. But he's still scary!"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:31 pm

"No argument from me on that."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:33 pm

"So I'ma gonna hang with my girlfriend until he wanders off. I'd rather punch a dinosaur than bump into him."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:35 pm

"But he could arrange for you to punch a dinosaur."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:40 pm

"He got angry enough about the one already." she chuckles.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:50 pm

"You could just tell him you want to learn to do it properly," she continued to tease, relaxing.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:57 pm

"Oh, of course, silly me. I should tell him I want to be a professional poacher." she laughs.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:00 pm

"Well, I wouldn't put it like that."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:20 pm

"He might, is all I'm saying."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:23 pm

"True," she said. "Did you hear that thunder earlier? I didn't think it was supposed to rain today."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:28 pm

"Oh! I didn't. That probably means Theresa is back!"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:29 pm

"You think?" Miranda asked, sounding very non-committal as to whether this was a good thing or not.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:32 pm

"Probably! Doesn't look like there's a storm coming." she says. Though to her credit she doesn't look like she's about to run off and search for her, despite her excitement about seeing her friend again.

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:38 pm

"Well, I'm sure if she's going to the trouble to announce her presence like that, she's probably going to hang around."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:40 pm

"You're not jealous, are you?"

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:42 pm

Miranda pondered her answer and then held up her fingers in the "just a little" gesture.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:44 pm

"Don't be! We only went out for a bit and did, like, not work out at all."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:49 pm

"Well, she's a university student now and stuff," Miranda said a little defensively, apparently having picked up some of Kay's speaking mannerisms.

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:53 pm

"Well yeah. All the more reason she won't be interested in me at all anymore."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:55 pm

"She better not be."

by **Kay Haddock** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:58 pm

"We're just friends. It's all good."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:01 pm

"Okay," Miranda said, "I trust you."
