Chilly Boulder, Sunday evening

It was nice out and Jessica still had a couple days before she had to be in New York. Apparently Susan Storm was starting up something called "the Future Foundation," which sounded a little weird, considering what Jessica heard about some events back in the early summer. But whatever. Sue was good people, and it was nice to see something happen to the Baxter Building now.

But again, that was in a couple days. Tonight, Jessica was enjoying the nice night outside Chilly Boulder with some ice cream. They really needed one of these by her apartment in New York. Maybe she could take her SHIELD severance package and become a franchisee.

[OOC: Open to any evening ice cream wanters. Or anyone who would like to catch up with Jess. Or people who don't want either who I guess would be pinging in out of spite because they find Venn diagrams oppressive?]

Gwen's reason for doing most things these days could be attributed to boredom, which was why she was going for a walk rather than staying in her too-dark, depressing room that she needed to do something about already. Which meant she ended up here hating on oppressive Venn diagrams.

"You were the girl who got stuck hosting the thing last night, right?" Gwen asked.

Gwen cursed mentally as she heard the voice, but she put on a fake blank look as she looked up. "Yep. Lucky me. Were you one of the daters?"
stacyexperiment: (saying words)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. Against my will, by the way." It was important to keep pointing that out. "I guess this place is big on dragging you into doing stuff, huh?"

"It's as much of a tradition as... well, anything, pretty much. How many radio people said the squirrels kidnapped them this semester?" Jessica asked.
stacyexperiment: (i'd rather not)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Umm. I know Johnny, and Kira, and me. The squirrels really have it out for me. Little rodent bastards," Gwen grumbled.

"Try bribing them," Jessica said. "They love rum. Just get a bottle or two and leave them at the radio station with a note, so they know it's from you. It might help."
stacyexperiment: (okay)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure someone in the dorms has some I can grab," Gwen said. The fact that she didn't outright know how to get rum probably put her delinquent status on jeopardy. "So you're a student?"

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"That or buy it at the Kwik Stop. They're sketchier than T&C, so I think the squirrels like their rum better. I think they think it's more piratical," Jessica suggested. "And I'm a former student. I graduated back in the spring. I'm just back here visiting right now."
stacyexperiment: (back to you)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
"And you get roped into stuff by squirrels on a visit? That sucks," Gwen said.

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no, Tino signed me up. The bartender at Caritas? The quiet guy?" Jessica asked. "He's quiet because he's devious, I swear."
stacyexperiment: (looking at this thing)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
"The one serving minors alcohol? I never would have figured." Granted, that meant she might like Tino, but still.

"That's legal here, actually," Jessica said. "But The Devil's Nest, the place run by a vampire? Doesn't sell to anyone under 21. Go figure, right?"
stacyexperiment: (surprise)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"...Run by a vampire, okay, why not." She was so writing up a list of things the new kids needed to know for next semester. "How is the news not here constantly?"

"The only good explanation is 'magic,'" Jessica said. "I don't think most versions of Lexington Park actually realize Fandom exists, but that's just a working theory."
stacyexperiment: (hmm)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"If they did know we were here they'd probably never stop freaking out," Gwen mused. "Can you imagine knowing you were that close to the crazy all the time?"

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I live in New York. Of course I can," Jessica joked.
stacyexperiment: (ooh?)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Is your New York all insane and stuff too?" Gwen asked. "I guess some people have it normal."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, it's a wacky one," Jessica said. "But it means that Fandom's not quite as crazy to me, so that's nice. You're probably dealing better than most people, right?"
stacyexperiment: (hmph)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Mostly," Gwen said, making a face. "I keep getting thrown curveballs. Then there's alternate realities and people from space and random mass gender swapping and really there should be some kind of orientation."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"That's what your big sib is for. You just have to hassle them until they give you all the info," Jessica advised. "Who did you get?"
stacyexperiment: (neutral)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Four. I think he was going easy on me, though," she said.

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
"The good ones do the first day because otherwise people spaz out," Jessica said. "After that, though, they really should give as much info as possible, just to catch people up."

"Hi, I'm sorry, I have opinions. Former Student Council President here. Jessica Drew. Nice to meet you."
stacyexperiment: (profile)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Gwen Stacy. Current Student Council hijackee," she said.

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"You got into that without signing up, too?" Jessica asked. She figured that would cover her surprise that Gwen Stacy was on Student Council. Holy crap what was happening.
stacyexperiment: (the opposite of what i wanted)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
"The squirrels have it out for me or something," Gwen complained. "Here I was, just hearing the announcements and oh hey, they're saying my name. Like they even wrote down that I'd give the squirrels rum as a campaign promise."

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, if they're saying you promised them rum, you probably can't bribe them. Then they'll know that they can bully you for rum," Jessica said. "Sorry to hear that. At least Student Council is kind of fun, I promise."
stacyexperiment: (up to something)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
"It could be worse so far," Gwen admitted. "I'm kind of friends with a couple people on it. And the dances might get really interesting." She might even go!

Probably not! But maybe!

"Just remember: Glitter is a proud tradition here. I'm not personally a fan of it, but I made sure it went way overused at all dances in the name of tradition and upsetting Principal Winchester in a playful way," Jessica said. "I think she secretly likes it, though."
stacyexperiment: (i'm listening)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I think I'm still finding glitter from sitting under the 'Welcome to Fandom High' banner when I got here," Gwen said. "So should I just accept that it's part of my DNA now?"

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
"No, it's just regular glitter. It's not going to genetically alter you," Jessica promised. "It's more like an STD that you'll never get rid of."
stacyexperiment: (eye narrowed)

[personal profile] stacyexperiment 2014-09-22 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't think that makes it better..." Gwen said slowly.

[identity profile] craftyladyparts.livejournal.com 2014-09-22 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no, not at all. But it's more accurate," Jessica pointed out.
