When: loop 1, day 10 (6/10 irl)
Content Warnings: nothing yet. please use and check thread subjects

It's a pleasant day outside. There's a nice breeze and the sun is doing its best. At very least, it's not raining and warmer than it was yesterday. This is, statistically, likely to bring college denizens out of their dorms and offices since rain seems to often be on Newcomb's horizon. Fall in not-at-all-New England is lovely that way.

Gansey, for his part, can be found throughout the day in several places! He likes hanging out near the clocktower to study, since he's found time works best there (at least for him). It's nice to have a watch that's doing something vaguely akin to timekeeping for once.

But he's an explorer at heart, so he can probably also be found in the library, the computer lab, and wandering the grounds. Gansey isn't sure he's interacted with anyone outside a classroom or on Fermii since the train crash, so he's more likely than usual to strike up conversation instead of waiting for it to come to him.

The real question is this: where's everyone else hanging out today?

[ i'll be throwing gansey at anyone who doesn't note that their tag is closed. please mingle! ]

Iggy listens. His eyebrows stay lifted and, armed with this new information he simply says, "Okay, you had a weird life, huh?"

Space-time? Hubris? He has no idea!

[beingawesome]

"Pretty sure normal is relative. You won't find them on my family tree," Claudia says, grinning a little at the horrible joke.

"What about you?"

[dead_tongue]

He shrugs. "Me? No science labs or anything like that, no. I think I must be from the boring dimension."

He looks around the quad. "So you gonna just chill out here the rest of the day?"

[beingawesome]

"So, what, no family, no history, you just sprung fully formed from the ashes of that freaky train?"

She shrugs at his question. "At least as long as I'm feeling the music."

[dead_tongue]

"Wouldn't you just shit if I did?" he asks with a grin. "My family isn't very exciting. Uhm. We're religious, I guess that's kinda weird - I was homeschooled until I was a teenager." A fact he blames his social awkwardness on.

"But no requests for overused songs, right."

[beingawesome]

"I'm not sure I wouldn't put it past this place," she says, honestly. "I can't really call religious weird, I mean, roughly a third or so of all Americans are."

She doesn't know what else to say. "I have a GED, so I can't exactly throw stones about schooling."

But as far as songs. "Any idiot can learn one song like that. As I said, I like the ones with meat."

[dead_tongue]

Iggy shrugs. "Depends on the religion."

He grins again. "You're still a snob, but I respect that. I'll leave you to it, then. But I'll see you around."
