Issue 1 Downtime

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 12:48 pm**

Theresa was staring at a pile of boxes that had somehow blocked the doorway to her bedroom, leaving her trapped inside it. She looked out over the top of the pile while she tried to decide what to tackle first.

Kay had been out and about (okay, she had been in the pool) and thus had missed someone piling up boxes. When she spots them she freezes for a moment. She's excited that people are finally arriving and the long, boring summer is over but she's also a little worried who it's going to be.

"Uh... hi?"

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 1:01 pm**

"Kay?" Theresa asked from the other side of the mountain. "Hold on..." A few of the boxes disappeared from the top of the stack and she could see Theresa's face on the other side.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 1:26 pm**

"Theresa!? Oh wow... Lemme help you there!" she hurries over to the pile of boxes.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 1:29 pm**

"Thanks," she said, clearing an opening with Kay's help. "I'm really not sure how they got piled up like that. Must have brought more stuff than I thought."

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 1:33 pm**

"No kidding! Where are you gonna put all that stuff?" she chuckles.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 1:52 pm**

"Now that I look at it, I honestly don't know," she said. "Just have to give away what I don't use I guess."

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 1:57 pm**

"You're nuts..." she shakes her head. "But it's really good to see you."

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:18 pm**

"Give it three months and you may be saying 'you again?!'," Theresa said with a laugh.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:22 pm**

"Fine, but you can't be trying to be a pain in the butt on purpose." she smirks.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:24 pm**

"Ask Brigid. I'm just a pain in the butt by nature."

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:26 pm**

"Ah now I got it. You were intending to bore me to death by making me read those books."

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:35 pm**

"I'm devious like that," she said with a firm nod. "I see you survived though."

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:40 pm**

"Yep! This place vaccinated me before they got here." she snickers.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:47 pm**

"Curses! Foiled again!" She said, twirling an imaginary mustache.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:48 pm**

"Shoulda just waited and zapped me in the pool." she nods sagely.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 2:59 pm**

"Too easy. I'll have think of something else," she said with a snicker of her own.

Posted: **Wed Mar 21, 2012 3:00 pm**

"You just want to lull me into a false sense of security. I'm on to you!"

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:39 am**

"That's what you'd like to think... or something..." Theresa said before breaking down into a fit of giggling.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:06 am**

Kay shakes her head, snickering.

"So did I miss people finally showing up or are you early?" she asks once she calmed down a little

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:10 am**

"There's other people moving in, but I don't think it's an outright flood yet."

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:29 am**

"I feel like I should have kept better track of what day it is." she chuckles.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:40 am**

"Any idea who's in there?" She pointed at the empty bedroom.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:46 am**

"Theoretically, Dana. But I haven't actually seen her for... I don't even know how long. I'm kinda afraid to open the door and find a computer growing out of her brain or something..." she half-jokes.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:59 am**

"Around here, it wouldn't surprise me," Theresa said, picking up a small but obviously heavy box. "This is some of my books. Feel free to raid it for stuff you want to read." She moved to hand it off to Kay.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:32 am**

"Eesh... I'm starting to feel like you're moving in for me too while you're at it." she says, though she smiles as she takes the box from Theresa.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:46 am**

"I figured if this was going to be home, it should feel like it."

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:12 am**

"Yeah, that's true." Well, maybe a little better than 'like back home' wouldn't hurt...

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:22 am**

"I think some of this is winter clothes..." She said, opening up another box. "Yep. Don't need to deal with that now." She tucked it into a corner of her bedroom.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:26 am**

"Want me to help unpacking?" she asks, little bit awkwardly watching Theresa. "Not that I wanna go through your stuff or anything. Just feeling kinda useless here." she adds, still holding on to the bos of books.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:31 am**

"If you want to, I'd appreciate it. Mostly I don't remember what's in these boxes at the moment." She picked one up and shook it. "Although I think these are posters. If you want to unroll and flatten them out on the floor and put some books on top of them, that'd be awesome."

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:34 am**

"Sure. Already got the books too!" she chuckles, holding up the box before putting it down on the common-room couch and grabbing some posters to straighten.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:46 am**

"You'd think I'd have labeled the boxes, but apparently I didn't. And after a long drive, I don't remember what's what." She started fishing in another box, pulling out a computer monitor and laying it on the bed. Some of the posters were the ones that Kay had seen previously through Theresa's webcam, an assortment of rock bands and video game art.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:18 pm**

"Just start throwing things in till it's full, move on to the next. Who labels their boxes?"

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:40 pm**

"My mom usually. Which I'm kind of surprised she didn't ride herd on me to do it this time," she said, pulling out some other computer equipment before breaking down the box and tossing it into the common room.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:48 pm**

"Exactly. Parents label their boxes. Yawn." she chuckles, pulling open a box.

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:52 pm**

That box appeared to be sheets and towels. "Much better to play what's-in-the-box roulette I guess."

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 1:01 pm**

"Unless you're trying to find something, I guess." she says, pulling out the towels. "Gonna put those in the bath."

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 1:13 pm**

"Probably the place for them. We can share towel-washing duties if that doesn't squick you out."

Posted: **Thu Mar 22, 2012 1:17 pm**

"It's just towels." she shrugs and disappears into the bathroom for a moment.

"Besides, I have two older brothers. I don't think you're gonna gross me out."
