Who: Coraline and You!
What: DISTRACTIONS.
Where: Most public areas around the lobby.
When: 5/21-5/28
Warnings: None, will change if necessary.

[As soon as the dreams started showing up on the network, Coraline stopped looking at the network. She'd already seen a couple, and she feels very strongly that she probably shouldn't have, despite her curiosity. So to keep herself from watching more, whether accidentally or on purpose, she's just... not checking the network anymore.

Instead, she's keeping herself occupied and distracted in the best ways a sixteen-year-old knows. She's exploring every nook and cranny yet again, until she knows the whole place like the back of her hand, and she can also be found doing things around the rest of the public areas:

The Fireplace: She's hanging out by the fire, with some stolen paper and a pen from the front desk, and she's trying to draw. She's not that good at it, but it's something to do. Sometimes she's copying the pictures from the encyclopedias that are there, sometimes drawing the fire, sometimes drawing things in the lobby.

When she gets bored of that, she's reading the encyclopedias.

When she's bored of that, she starts using the volumes to build a tower. No respect for literature.

The Screening Room: She's not paying attention to the movie. She's watched it enough already, she can probably recite it. In fact, she does, sometimes, sitting upside down in the chair with her head hanging down so her hair brushes the floor.

The Front Desk: She sits behind it, folding paper airplanes and tossing them through the lobby. She's also writing notes and drawing stupid cartoons that don't really mean anything, just whatever pops into her head.

The Ballroom: Cartwheels. That's all.

If someone stops and talks to her, she'll talk back. She's friendly, after all, and SO FREAKIN' BORED.]

[He shifts his balance to one hand and holds the other one out, tilting it from side to side.] The terms get a little weird when no one was technically adopted, and he doesn't live at home anymore.

He's annoying like a brother, though. [Said with affection in his voice.]

It's like we're caught in the same day. Same weather cycle.

[Onward to level two. He's starting to get the hang of this. Then he stops, briefly disturbed when a thought occurs to him.]

God - you don't think we've been Groundhog-Day'd, do you?

[He laughs.]

I am totally showing off.

[He tumbles out of the handstand and settles cross-legged to face her.]

I didn't before Dick. I was an only child when I was a kid. I'm still mostly an only child. Dick doesn't visit all the time or anything, and he and Bruce don't totally get along, so it's kind of... tense when we're all together. Sometimes.

Right, right, yeah. [And he'd know, duh. He's been Groundhog-Day'd before. Thanks, Gabriel.] But aside from that, it's all kinda the same, right? Except for whatever terrifying thing the place decides to throw at us next.

Great. That's fantastic.

[So many happy, wonderful times to look forward to, he's sure. He finishes off the second level a little sourly.] So, what, been here for long?

[personal profile] unpurify 2015-05-28 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Wince.] My sympathies. I only got here, uh. Couple weeks ago?

[He thinks? Time is hard to keep track of between bouts of Hell fever.]

Screening Room, 27thish;

[Clara has seen a few dreams, commented on a few even. She thinks she probably shouldn't be watching, but it isn't like no one else is doing it and there's benefit in getting to know the people you're trapped with. And besides, she'd figured her own dreams would end up there sooner or later.

For a while, she'd tried not sleeping, but eventually, she'd fallen asleep anyway. She'd known she would. Then? Nothing had happened.

She's feeling a little more inclined to avoid poking into the private memories of others now that it seems she's gotten lucky in the dream sharing lottery, so she's doing some exploring of her own. Not that she hasn't already seen pretty much everything there is to see.

The screening room's mostly empty when she decides to give the movie a go one more time, nothing better to do, but then she notices at least one seat's occupied. She recognizes her easily, even upside down, and drops into a seat next to her.

This is one of the better ones.

[grin]

Kind of. But I guess it works for us, so. [He shrugs. The weird doesn't bother him, actually, and he's pretty crazy about his crazy family.]

[Yeah, he kinda figured. Unfortunately.]

Sam. [And - hell, what's the point? Can't really keep an alias in a place like this.] Sam Winchester.

[He accepts the hand and shakes it, a little bemused, but kind of charmed regardless. She's an interesting kid, got a straight-forward-ness to her that he can't help but admire.]

Ditto.

[He nods.] Most of the cool stuff, yeah. Definitely all of the neat tricks.

No superpowers, or anything like that. I can juggle, though. [He grins.] And pick locks. And climb walls. [pause] ...Not these ones, though. I almost broke my neck trying to get out of here through the courtyard.
notafraidofyou: (Upside Down)

[personal profile] notafraidofyou 2015-06-04 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs.] Sure! Juggling might be easier than picking locks, though.... which seems kind of weird, because of the coordination issues, but the locks around here are just... way more ridiculously hard than they should be.
