Posted: 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."

Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:15 pm"Oh. Yeah, it's probably pretty crazy out there for you."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:25 pm"So back to business as usual then?"
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:29 pm"Pretty much." she chuckles.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:33 pm"So what are you doing out here?"
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:38 pm"What? I need a reason to hand out with my girlfriend?" she smiles.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:40 pm"Well, no, but I figured you'd be circulating, meeting the new people."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:46 pm"Nah, they're all forming their own little groups right now. Maybe later."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:50 pm"I'm surprised you didn't want to say hi to Brigid's dad," she teased.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:53 pm"Okay, fine, I might be hiding from him right now." she admits.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:00 pm"Thought so," she said. "It's kind of hard to miss the big scary man."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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!"
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:06 pm"I doubt he would have done that any more than Mom would actually incinerate me."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:08 pm"Yeah, yeah, you're right. Way to ruin my hyperbole." she chuckles.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:13 pm"Oh, sorry. I did it again."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:29 pm"Well you're right, he's not literally gonna kill me. But he's still scary!"
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:31 pm"No argument from me on that."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:35 pm"But he could arrange for you to punch a dinosaur."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:40 pm"He got angry enough about the one already." she chuckles.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:00 pm"Well, I wouldn't put it like that."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:20 pm"He might, is all I'm saying."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:28 pm"Oh! I didn't. That probably means Theresa is back!"
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:40 pm"You're not jealous, are you?"
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:42 pmMiranda pondered her answer and then held up her fingers in the "just a little" gesture.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: 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.
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:53 pm"Well yeah. All the more reason she won't be interested in me at all anymore."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:55 pm"She better not be."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 8:58 pm"We're just friends. It's all good."
Re: Orientation - Fetching Refreshments
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 9:01 pm"Okay," Miranda said, "I trust you."
