Room 424, Friday

[notahostage]

Wendy's side of the room was packed up, she'd made sure certain photos would be delivered to Edmund when he got back, and sent anything that wouldn't fit in the car on ahead. She wasn't sure how exactly she'd explain acquiring as much stuff as she did while on a "short retreat in Nepal", but she'd manage.

[Wendy's going awaaaaaaaaaay. Open.]

Comments

"I don't like this week," Ben commented from his side of the room.

[notahostage]

"I hear you there," Wendy said, looking over to Ben. "If it helps, think of it not as losing a roommate, but gaining uninterrupted privacy."

"Plus I expect you to visit if you're ever in my neck of the woods."

[momslilassassin]

"Given the way things work around here, I'll go to the picnic tomorrow and end up rooming the next three years with a 4 meter tall tree named Larry," Ben said with a tiny smile.

[notahostage]

"But chances are his bark'll be worse than his bite," Wendy said, because if any situation called for a bad pun...

[momslilassassin]

Ben groaned. "That was terrible."

[notahostage]

"What? Don't you think it was punny?"

[momslilassassin]

"It was very punny," Ben said. "It wasn't funny."

He lied.

[notahostage]

"Puns are the very highest form of wit," Wendy said archly. "Or is that lowest? I can never remember."

[momslilassassin]

"Lowest," Ben said with a nod. "But I can't really talk. I called my father and told him 'May the fourth be with you' back in the spring."

"Yo, Wendy Watson. You outta here, huh?" Katchoo asked from the doorway. Geez. She'd actually gone out of her way to say goodbye to two people in two days. She must be getting soft or something. Crap.

[notahostage]

"Hey, Chewie. Yeah," Wendy replied. "I could say I was headed to less weird pastures, but that would be a lie."

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Funny. Didn't figure you for a wacky-world type," Katchoo remarked. "Huh. You lookin' forward to getting back to that or what?"

[notahostage]

Wendy shrugged. "Most people in my world don't picture it for a wacky-world. Even after they get attacked by the hentai tentacle monsters, or the trout zombies," she said. "But at least there's no gremlins there." That she knew of.

"There are some things I'm looking forward to more than others," Wendy admitted. "I've seen my boyfriend exactly once since I got here. Though he did end up in the pond with Edmund Pevensie then, so that was a bonus."

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

You know, there were a lot of things that Katchoo had given up on being surprised by. Envying someone a world with hentai tentacle monsters was not one of them.

. . . not like that. They just sounded less scary somehow. Okay, maybe a little bit.

"People, huh? Never underestimate the collective power of denial," she said sardonically. "Do I wanna know about the pond?"

"The bright side is that you can claim the end of a dimensional portal is an illusion, and block it off with a traffic cone," Wendy replied.

"There were leather cat-suits and making out that week when everyone wanted to have sex," she explained. "Ed's sense of honour meant he needed Tyler to hit him, they were in Caritas at the time. Then there were wet boys."

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Fun. If you're into that," was Katchoo's (remarkably understated, for her) opinion on the matter. She could have gone on a rant about that week. NOT BECAUSE SHE WAS BITTER. Really. "The traffic cone thing? Not surprising. Way too many uses for those things."

[notahostage]

"Especially the collapsible kind," Wendy agreed. "I did wonder if I could have talked them into becoming an installation. Wet boys in pond, periodic wrestling free of charge."

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Around here?" Katchoo snorted, amused. "Throw in glitter, charge admission, you'd be raking in the bucks."

Robin had totally failed as Wendy's big brother, but he wanted to at least try to make up for it a little bit.

Hence the soft knock at her door.

[notahostage]

"It's open," Wendy called out.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin hopped up, turned the knob, and came in. "Hi Wendy." he said, a little shyly.

[notahostage]

"Hey, Robin," Wendy replied, smiling at him.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi, um, I'm sorry I haven't been by before. How have you been liking Fandom?"

[notahostage]

"It's been good," Wendy said. "Weird, but good."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad. What sort of classes did you take?"
