[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

CJ orders her usual vanilla latte and sits with two book. One is a beat up copy of the Bible, the other a religious reference book. She reads, making notes on a tablet.]

Having left her Carmen egg with Paige Maia came into the perk for a muffin, she glanced at C.J. She had never really talked with her before but had seen her around the campus and town. "Hi" She said holding her muffin

[She looks up and smiles. She's seen the face in the halls, and motions to the chair across from her.]

Hi! How are you tonight?



((I might be slow, and expect realy bad typing...I'm on meds liek whoa))

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia smiled. "I'm good actually thank you. How are you?" Maia spied the Bible and book on the table but waits to ask on that, she is not sure if that is a private thing.


((thats fine. I hope your ok and its not anything serious))

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

I'm good. I'm CJ...you're a student right? I've seen you at the school. Sit down. [Noting the small eye movements and body language...] I'm not a Jesus freak or anything. I won't try to convert you.



((broken tooth+pain meds=dentist in the morning. No big, just ow))

Maia laughed "That's ok I was raised Jewish." Maia grinned now "I'm Maia its nice to meet you C.J." Maia looked at the books again "So what are you studying?"


((OMG PAIN!! oo that makes my mouth hurt thinking about it))

Genesis...the Garden...the angels and the fall of Lucifer. I haven't looked at this stuff since I was in school. I'm kind of rusty. [On her tablet there are two columns, clearly visible, labeled Angel and Demon.]

After Maia leaves

[chasingangela]

Angela recognizes the speech teacher and remembers what Martin had told her. She goes and stands by her elbow.

"Ms. Cregg? Hi. I'm Angela. I talked to you for, like, a second on the Plotting Zoo trip?"

She prays CJ doesn't remember exactly what she *said.*

Hi Angela! Sit down, join me. [She gives her a half smile with a wicked twinkle in her eye.] Still haven't dyed my hair.

Re: After Maia leaves

[chasingangela]

Angela flushes and tucks one lock of hair behind her ear. "And mine still comes out of a box," she mutters.

She puts her chai on the table and sits down. "So, um ... I'm dating Martin Blank, and he mentioned he had talked to you about some ... stuff."

Marty...yeah. Is he ok? Really? I'm really worried about this whole abduction thing...and the Dean. Well. I'll keep that to myself.

Re: After Maia leaves

[chasingangela]

Angela shrugs awkwardly. "He's Marty. he says he's okay, but I don't think he's sleeping." She lowers her voice. "I asked him if he wanted to leave town."

Anakin walked into the shop and ordered the largest coffee on the menu. He noticed Maia and a teacher he recognized from Homecoming and gave them a tired nod before sitting down at a table and pulling out a book.

He spent more time staring off into space than reading, though.

Maia smiled and nodded back at Anakin. She looked a little concerned about his tired apperance but she just assumed he he was suffering from the loss of Kitty like most students were.

After work, Duce headed to the Perk to get some coffee. Spotting CJ in conversation with people, Duce gave her a polite nod of recognition.

Ordering a scary froofroo coffee that had so much stuff in it that it probably (hopefully) didn't even taste like coffee anymore, she turned and surveyed the crowd. Recognising Anakin from the JA meeting, she recalled something Aayla had said and wandered over to him.

"Hi, Anakin. Hey, I bumped into this blue woman with tentacles on her head - Aayla? - and she said she was a Jedi, like you." Duce looked slightly confused, "She seemed to think I'd know what that was, but really, I have no clue. I didn't know if it'd get you in trouble if I said that, so I didn't. So.. what the heck is a Jedi, anyway?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin stopped staring at the wall.

"Oh, hi!" he said. "You met Aayla? And want to know about Jedi? This could take a while." He gestured at the empty seats. "Join me?"

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce grins, "Yeah. She's neat!" Sliding into a chair, she props her chin in her hand and sips her coffee, "Thanks. Yeah, I'd love to know about 'em. The word's totally unfamiliar to me. Is it like a religion or something? Aalya made it sound.. very zen."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Being a Jedi...um," he took a sip from his giant mug of coffee. "It's a religion. And a calling and a career all wrapped into one thing." He looked at Duce. "Did Aayla mention something called the Force?"

After a busy day, Jarod ordered a hot chocolate. He sat down with it and began looking through the town brochure for somewhere to stay--both for that night and for longer.

He took his very first sip of hot chocolate and smiled. It was as good as the books said it was.

[swerval_zero]

*On her way out with two coffees and a hot chocolate, Zero accidentally bumps Jarod with her elbow*

Oh, squall, I'm sorry!

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod looked up from his brochure and saw a pretty pink-haired girl. He'd had more new experiences today...

"It's okay. Did you spill anything?" He asked, somewhat shyly.

[swerval_zero]

*grins at the cute boy*

No, I'm swerval. Are you new here?

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Swerval?"

"Yes, I just got here today," he said, grinning. "I'm Jarod."

After Angela leaves...

Elizabeth looks around the busy Perk, as she orders a caramel macchiato. She smiles as she spots CJ, and heads across.

"Hi, there."

[On her way out with Angela, she stops and smiles at Elizabeth.]

Hey, E!

Ben and Michael come in the door and look around. Both look concerned as they obviously aren't finding who they're looking for in the crowd.
