Dawn's Dorm Room, Berkeley, CA - Wednesday
It was still midterms. Unfortunately, going to a high school homecoming, finding out the guy you were still hung up on had a date with someone else, and having most of your friends temporarily losing their minds didn't count as grounds to miss exams.

Which was really just another reason for her to miss Fandom, really.

Ignore the drool on the textbook. She was conjugating Latin via osmosis.

[ooc: For one!]

	Alanna landed with a loud thud on the floor by Dawn's bed, with her bag and sword falling down a minute later. "HA! Missed me!" She yelled at the ceiling. She was really used to this. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Dawn came awake so suddenly that she tipped over backwards. "HOLY CRAP!" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 12:30 am UTC (link)
	Alanna dove to see if she could keep Dawn from any permanent damage. "Sorry! Things keep happening! Hi Dawn." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Ow. The floor was still hard and gravity still worked. And wait. "Alanna?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I keep doing this to people. Are you all right?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, yeah, I'm good." She stared up from her spot on the floor, then scrambled to her feet. "Hi!" Then she remembered Alanna's letter, and if the other girl didn't move out of the way, there was definitely a hug in her future. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 01:11 am UTC (link)
	Contrary to popular belief, Alanna had no problem with hugs and easily accepted Dawn's. "Oomph." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Dawn didn't say anything, figuring that Alanna had heard enough condolences by this point, but she tightened the hug a little before letting go. "How long are you staying, and not that I'm complaining, but how are you here?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Oddly enough, she hadn't. Most of her friends preferred to drag her out and have her run into crazy aliens who only want the tiger, really. Alanna flopped on to the floor by one of the beds. "I keep trying to get to Fandom and missing." She sort of explained. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Actually, that made enough sense to Dawn, who sprawled on the bed and handed down a couple of pillows as she leaned over to see Alanna. "Any particular reason you want to be there?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 01:23 am UTC (link)
	Alanna moved one of the pillows under her bottom and shrugged her standard half shrug. "I didn't want to be home? I don't know...I was hoping to see people, but I got to do that without Fandom. How have you been?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 01:26 am UTC (link)
	"Kinda sucky, actually," she shrugged, "but I'm getting better. And wow, I so get not wanting to be home. Just, uh, don't take up shoplifting as a hobby?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 01:41 am UTC (link)
	Alanna frowned. "Do I even want to know? About the shoplifting? And...why the sucky for you?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"It was a thing, after Buffy died and came back," Dawn explained, on some level unable to believe that desperate person had actually been her. "And, uh, Sam and I broke up." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Alanna decided not to ask. "Oh. I'm sorry to hear that." She leaned up on to the bed to offer a very awkward hug due to the bed. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Dawn leaned down and there was more hugging. It was good. "Thanks. So, what do we want to do? There's ice cream and stuff if we want to mope, or we can go shoe shopping in the Haight if we want to people watch..." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"Haight?" Alanna inquired. "And people watching is always fun, especially since everyone and everything is so different than what I'm used to. I realized I've never even seen what a college here looks like!" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"It looks like college?" Dawn said, oh-so-descriptively as she climbed off the bed and started hunting for her shoes. One was very definitely under the bed. The other....well, that's why she was hunting for them. "Do you want a shower or something to eat first? I don't know how long you've been traveling or what kind of conditions." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 02:21 am UTC (link)
	"I fell into a lake on my last stop, but I would not say no to food." Alanna said, gathering up her things and casting an illusion over her sword. "I doubt your college would look like a castle." Edited at 2008-10-16 02:24 am UTC (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-16 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"Been missing anything? We can probably find food there," she said. "Ah hah!" Dawn held her sneaker up triumphantly. "Now we can go. And, um, no, probably not, but also? You wandering around wearing a sword wouldn't be the weirdest thing most people here will see today, either, and that's without magic." (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-16 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Alanna blinked. "Seriously?" ((I once saw a guy walking around Berkeley with a sword on. Hell, I saw one here at USC...)) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-17 02:52 am UTC (link)
	"Welcome to California," Dawn grinned at her. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-17 03:06 am UTC (link)
	"I think I've been in California before." Alanna said, waiting for Dawn to lead the way. "Los Angeles is here, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	lilpunkinbelly 2008-10-17 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"Way further south," Dawn said, grabbing her keys and purse and heading for the door. "At least, like, half a state away. Here's prettier, plus there's actually weather. And so far, no vampires." Not that she'd been looking for them or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	threeweapons 2008-10-17 03:29 am UTC (link)
	"Which is a good thing?" Alanna checked and followed after Dawn. "Do weird Fandom things hit you too?" (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)
