Entry tags:
mingle log | the quad and elsewhere | we were young and drinking (coffee) in the park
Characters: Gansey and whoever shows up
What: Interpersonal interaction! Meet each other face-to-face while nothing is on fire
Where: the quad, unless elsewhere seems cool to you
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! ]

"Not more than it is to be here, I think," he answers diplomatically. "But at least I've already done it once." That means he's hoping that he can adjust quickly, and that he's got plenty of tips for everyone else.

"If Cassandra wasn't telling tales, there's over 1400 acres of land in the bubble, so it'll take awhile just to see everywhere." He wouldn't mind hearing about assimilating to modernity, but it's probably not first meeting conversation. Something to pick Steve's brain about if it comes up again later.
"I can't imagine." He genuinely can't imagine being forty or fifty years out of time, especially if the people he knew in that long ago lived all that intervening time and might still be living. That's a medium sized existential crisis right there. "Are things here very different? Time loops, impenetrable barrier and steampunk aesthetic aside, of course."

But the actual world itself - he doesn't remember it being anything like this. But then again, he's been out of it for quite some time. He's no longer the expert.
"Is your home like this?" Must be, what with how easily he's adjusting to the nexus planet thing and all.

"The feeling of the place isn't entirely foreign, just different." The campus has a subtle personality to Gansey; secretive, aloof, wryly mischievous. "It's more like a place I'd search out than a baseline normal, so I'm not mad about getting dragged here yet."

He's a good storyteller, and between the stories is the uniting thread of a kid who aches for some sort of greater significance beyond the smallness of himself. The hints of connection that led him from Wales to Virginia are barely whisps, logical leaps on insubstantial ground that miraculously paid off. Gansey seems legitimately blessed with the ability to find things, but believes wholeheartedly that the price of this talent is the obligation to always be looking.

Hopefully he can find some sense of that passion here, as well.
