The Perk, early Sunday

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Seventeen? SO not going to Mass. She bounces into the Perk and gets the biggest, most coffee laden thing full of syrup and chocolate and half and half, and a muffin, and a turnover, and three biscotti...and she looks around with bright eyes and a wide smile.


[[specifically for Veronica, but anyone who wants to meet "Claudia" come on in! OR, as always, use this Perk for your own patronage.]]

ETA: [sorry for the late posting of an early thread, my RL router crashed and I just got back on]

ETA2: Quark's here too! He's talking to people for FREE!!! [[sorry Q, couldn't resist]]

Veronica walks in to the Perk, tired and sore from sleeping on Weevil's couch. She orders herself a chai latte and picks up two muffins, with the intention of taking one back to Weevil for when he wakes up.

She notices an unfamiliar girl and smiles warmly, wondering if there are new students she still hasn't met.

Her hand flies up as she sets her coffee monstrosity down. "Hey Veronica!"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Um, hi," Veronica says, walking over to her table. "I'm sorry, have we met?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. How are you? You look...tired." she grins mischeviously,"What were you up to last night?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry, I don't remember you," Veronica says, desperately trying to figure out who this girl was. She took a sip of her chai and sat down. She totally avoids the question about what she was doing last night.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Oh, come on...Guess. I know you'll get it." She dips her biscotti in her coffee and chews it slowly. "You're a smart detective chick. I'll give you a hint...Um...reciprocity."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica's brain kicks into high gear. Whoever this is knows about her detective work. Her brain struggles to find context for the word reciprocity. She finally remembers that they learned about it in Speech class last semester.

"Were you in Professor Cregg's class last semester?" she asks.

[deadly_little]

Out of nowhere, a water balloon flies at Veronica.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

She laughs and nods, pointing at her with the half-a-biscotti. "Sorta. That was a boss class. Um, another hint...uhhh..." She twines her fingers in her hair, "Oh, how about Chip?!"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Out of nowhere, Veronica gets hit in the back by a water balloon. She turns, but doesn't see anyone.

"Oh great," she groans, shaking her head. "At least my muffins didn't get wet. Only in Fandom..."

She trails off, suddenly remembering that she is in Fandom and that means anything can happen.

"Oh my god," she says. "CJ? What happened to you?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Gaaahd, that happened to me last night in the theater. What a drag."

She takes a sip and grins. "I got sucked into 327 and came out like this. Cool, huh?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Oh wow," she says, stunned that she was actually right. "So, how old are you? And how are you going to fix it?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"I think I'm about seventeen, and you know...I don't care about fixing it. It rocks." She nods and takes a big bite of her muffin. "I know everything I did when I went in, but I've got a whole new...old...body. Ten's freaking out, but I'm digging it."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"What about teaching? And what about Jack?" Veronica asks, a little concerned about CJ's blase attitude. "And who's Ten?"

[deadly_little]

Out of nowhere, a water balloon flies at CJ. This one from a totally different direction than the one that hit Veronica.

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Oh, who cares? I can still..." and her back is soaked,

"Son of a bitch! This is so not cool!"

She grabs a napkin and wipes her neck, thankful at least it wasn't her front...in front of her freaky horny teen body boyfriend.

"Ten's the Doctor, you know...I live with him? He's young too. I haven't actually talked to Jack yet. I hope he doesn't totally freak out. That would be a drag."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica blinks. She was looking right at CJ and has no idea where the water balloon came from.

"Oh, okay, I don't think I ever caught his name," she says. Then a horrible thought crosses her mind. "Um, does Jack know about this?"

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[[ooc: we are supposed to not acknowledge Miho, right? I'm not ignoring you on purpose.]]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

"Uhhhhmmm...no? I've kind of been enjoying it and haven't done much. Oh, except I did get in a bar fight last night. That was cool." She has a really goofy laugh and she nods softly.

"Then I went to the movies. I'm having a blast. I never had boys around when I was actually seventeen. Except my brothers."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"A bar fight?" Veronica asks incredously.

"And, listen, I'm glad you're having fun, but, uh, I really think you should call Jack. Um, I think it could be kind of awkward if he just, you know, runs into you."

[deadly_little]

((Right. No one knows, for she is ninja!))

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Her eyes widen, "Veronica, what a great idea! Can't you just see his face?" She laughs at the image and takes a sip. "Yeah, I got smacked by Shep's girlfriend Lana. She's kinda jealous, huh?"

Mid-Day

[landlord-quark.livejournal.com]

Quark is making his full patrol of various businesses in town.

Stopping at the perk, he attempts to order a Raktajino. When the request is met with confusion and gawking, he orders a coffee and sits down at at table, muttering a little.

"Humans..."

[ooc: This is a free invite for anyone to meet the new alien in town... or throw a water balloon at him.]

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

[[ninja away. Ten liked the wet t-shirt last night...too much.]]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I really don't know her very well," Veronica says, shaking her head.

She takes another long drink from her chai latte.
