Perk: Getting some coffee

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

Fred sat at a round table balancing her notebook on her knees, coffee in one hand and a pen in the other. In front of her on the table was a book open to a Fred was staring at it, every now and then sipping her coffee and scratching some words onto her paper.


((OOC: Come interact with Fred its been ages since she got to play with someone))

Sawyer stoppped by the Perk to get something rather caffienated, he was craving coffee for some odd reason. He had just left Paige and looked seriously happy. That was odd for him as well. He spots a girl sitting at a table, obviously working hard.

"Hey, mind if I sit here?" he cocks a brow, a dimpled smile coming over his lips.

Fred sits her coffee down and holds her hand up for a moment and starts to write furiously. After a moment she stops then looks up at him. "No I don't mind at all. How are you?"

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Kicking back the seat, he sat down and set his coffee cup on a napkin, "Alright, I guess. And you?" his eyes gaze at her over the notebook.

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

Fred smiled nervously picking up her notebook. "oo I'm ok" she moves quickly and in a semi jerky fashion. "just trying to do these equations you know." Waves her hand over the notebook. "its nothing just stuff." She extends her hand "I'm Fred, Winifred Burkle actually."

[conathon.livejournal.com]

He cocks an eyebrow at her jerkiness and extends his hand to meet hers, "Fred. Sawyer." he says simply, this girl is weird but she'll do for a conversation.

Fred proceeded to nod enthusiastically at Sawyer and put her books away at the same time. "So what brought you to Fandom High?" Fred leans back a little drinking her coffee.

[conathon.livejournal.com]

"Misguided deliquency." he grins and winks, taking a large sip of his coffee, "Actually, my mentor made me come here.." he grumbles a bit, looking frustrated at that.

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

Fred nodded taking in Sawyer's behavior. "Yeah I got into some trouble back home but" She shook her head "I am good now and" taps her bag "Working on advanced quantum physics for fun." She laughed and nodded and drank her coffee again. "Why did he make you come here?"

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Sawyer's gaze falls on her bag, and then rises to look into her eyes, "Quantum, what the hell?" he says in a confused tone as she says that hellaciously long course title that he doesn't even want to think about right now. "Because John is a son of a bitch, he knows how to get to me.."-- a breathless mumble --"Bastard.." even though John was like his older brother, protector.

Fred laughed "Um matter anti-matter, theories of time travel and alternate realities that kind of thing and I mean being here at Fandom High is just proof that Advanced Quantum Physics is right in its basic principle..." Fred trailed off and then blushed "I'm sorry" She shook her head "I get all excited about it sometimes I forget not everyone is as excited about the movement of a particle in a subterrianian vacum as I am." She laughed nervously. "So where are you from?" Taking her conversation down several notches and drinking some more coffee.

[conathon.livejournal.com]

His mouth falls open slightly, he feels as if he's probably gone brain dead and is drooling right about now; so much information about something he didn't want to learn about flooded his mind and made his gaze into something rather hypnotized like. He really wished Paige was here for some reason, dammit. "Riiiight." --a cough-- "I'm from...everywhere." he says vaguely with a smile.

Fred nodded and stirred some sugar into her coffee. "I'm from Texas." She eyed Sawyer "I thought maybe you were from somewhere around there, but I guess your accent is from everywhere." Fred put one more sugar in her coffee and took another sip. "Forget the particle stuff, like I said its just something I do for fun."

[conathon.livejournal.com]

"Well, darlin' what I do for fun is.." --his mind draws a slight blank as he watches the girl stir sugar into her coffee, like a bunch-- "..I take photos, I bang girls and I smoke..Pretty much it. Ain't too complicated." he leans back in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest.

Is that...?

::leans over the table and slips the book out from under her hand with no thought of the fact that she's looking at it::

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

Fred looked up at the stranger. "It is Advanced Quantum Physics on the movement of a particle in a subterranean vacuum." She said looking him up and down "And please do not lose my place."

[yaymckay.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you can find your place easily enough if you try." Rodney gives the girl a judicious study. Not a blonde, but might have some brains in there. "So, how are you going with the equations? Solved them yet?"

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

Fred turns her notebook over so he can see. "I prefer the Estep method to the Coralle. Its a step longer but in the end its easier to trace if you missed a step somewhere." Fred raised an eyebrow. "I'm Winifred Burkle and you are?"

[yaymckay.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, that introduction thing.

"Rodney McKay. Astrophysics is a...a hobby of mine," he smiles. "I tend to use the Coralle method. It's faster and I can keep track of the results in my mind. Actually, the study of subspace particle behaviour is something that I was looking at for a while."

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

Fred smiled brightly "Oh yeah really? I do them for fun as well. So I don't hurry through them I like to savor the problem first you know." Fred closes her notebook and takes her book back. "What brings you to fandom Mr. Mckay?"

((OOC: no problem Fred just does her problems when she is bored.))

"Oh," Rodney waves a hand, "Just...I heard it was somewhere to come. I have acquaintance up at the school... The usual, I suppose." He doesn't mention that there aren't all that many places to go when your body is seventeen, but your brain is thirty-eight. "Why are you here?"

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

"My parents sent me here acutally. I uh, got into some trouble over the summer." Fred nodded sipping her coffee. "Have a seat."

[yaymckay.livejournal.com]

Rodney is agog. "You got into trouble over the summer?" He sits down and waves down some coffee. "You don't look pregnant."

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

Fred looked shocked for a moment and then started laughing "Oh no, oh my goodness no no no." She is still laughing. "I got busted for smoking pot."

[yaymckay.livejournal.com]

"Well you said trouble," he grumbles as the coffee comes. "that usually means pregnant.

"And there's nothing wrong with smoking the occasional joint. Although I had a friend who smoked too much pot in college and his brain collapsed. Well, not collapsed collapsed, but he had an aneurysm that meant he spent two years recouperating. And we had such a good idea for our final project!"

[sheltered-texan.livejournal.com]

Fred nodded "Yeah it was the first time I ever tried it. Friends little brother ratted us out" Fred shook her head "And I got shipped off to here." Fred looks a bit pained at the memory of it. "What was your final project."
