Cafeteria - Not just sustentation apparently

by **ASHLIE** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:15 pm

A young woman with wispy white hair and matching eyes is sitting at one of the tables during breakfast, looking like she's a little puzzled by the food she picked.

Brigid finished getting her food and spotted someone who looked a little out of place. She made her way over to ASHLIE.

"Just arrive?" She asked.

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 1:51 pm

"I did, yes." she says, looking up at Brigid.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 1:53 pm

"Lot of us just got here a little bit ago. It's not bad. Different than Salem, but not bad."

She sat her tray down and took a seat.

"I'm Brigid."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:00 pm

"I'm Ashlie. I didn't go to Salem."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:00 pm

Raven was next in, going through the lunchline and picking up...erm, lunch...before looking for a seat.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:06 pm

"Don't need to feel bad about it. I didn't get to go there long either, before we all ended up here."

"Guess it's far from home either way."

Her accent was hard to place. There was some British, a bit of Irish, and some hints of a West African accent.

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:14 pm

Ashlie nods. And after a short pause: "I'm from Seattle. Where are you from?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:15 pm

"I'm from... pretty far South. Most people haven't heard of it."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:20 pm

"I'm not most people." she notes, though she does seem fine with Brigid's answer otherwise.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:22 pm

She sighed, having done this dance before.

"...look, if I say 'The Savage Land,' is it going to mean anything to you?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:27 pm

"Supposedly an enclave of jungle-like vegetation in Antarctica."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:28 pm

"Right. Supposedly..."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:32 pm

"You sound upset. I didn't mean to question the existance of your home..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:44 pm

"No, no, just... it's a weird place, I know."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:46 pm

"This place is weird too compared to most places."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:47 pm

"I'll give you credit though, you didn't start raving about dinosaurs."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:49 pm

"Should I have?" she asks, sounding like she's afraid she did something wrong.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:50 pm

"Not really? It's just kind of what everyone focuses on. Gets annoying."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:53 pm

"Oh, okay. That seems silly though. No one gets excited about sharks or crocodiles."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 2:56 pm

"Most people have seen those."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:03 pm

"Things exist, whether people see them or not. And seeing a dinosaur would have a high likelihood of being dangerous!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:10 pm

"Yeah, well, welcome to how I grew up."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:17 pm

"I see why you would prefer it here. Much fewer giant and carnivorous creatures in England. None to be exact."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:18 pm

"None anymore," Raven corrected, as she plopped herself down.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:19 pm

Brigid eyed Raven.

"...er, what?"

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 3:30 pm

"Well, there used to be all sorts of giant creatures in England."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:20 pm

"There used to be all sorts of giant creatures everywhere." Ashlie cheerfully adds to the trivia.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:23 pm

"Well yeah. I guess in the historical sense."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:39 pm

"Right. I'd recommend Geoffrey's history of England. All sorts of fun tidbits in there! Like the battles against the Giants."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:45 pm

"I have never heard of that."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:47 pm

"I could totally loan you my copy! It's a fascinating read."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:52 pm

"That'd be 'cool'." she says, sounding like she's trying out a new word there.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:53 pm

"...you were homeschooled, weren't you?"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:56 pm

Ashlie nods. "Why do you ask?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:58 pm

"Just a hunch. I'm not saying that to be mean or anything, really."

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:03 pm

"I didn't think you were mean." she smiles. "This is all very new to me."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:03 pm

"It's okay. I hadn't been around other kids much before coming here either."

by **Trini Thompson** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:09 pm

"Really? Well, that won't do at all! We need to get you both around people!"

by **ASHLIE** » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:15 pm

"Well yes, classes. And I have been assigned a dorm room." she smiles enthusiastically.
