Room 229, Thursday Morning
Sep. 19th, 2013 04:56 pmGert woke up early and did not want to get out of bed.
Strictly speaking, she really should, because she'd put dye in her hair last night and should really be getting up to wash it out soon. But she was comfortable and Old Lace was half sprawled over her and it was nice, even if the dye smell detracted from the niceness of it somewhat.
Anyway, one of the many upsides to being an orphan at boarding school was that no one was going to drag her out of bed anytime soon. Well, unless the smell was really getting on Maddie's nerves. But she didn't think it would come to that.

So, here she was, knocking on the door. "Gert?"

Date: 2013-09-19 04:36 pm (UTC)Maybe she would have sounded a little more enthusiastic if she wasn't too sleepy to make out whose voice that was...

Date: 2013-09-19 04:50 pm (UTC)The best course of action was a dorky little wave.
"Hi?"
no subject
Date: 2013-09-19 05:24 pm (UTC)"Kar," she said dumbly. "Hey. You're back."
Yeah, Karolina was aware of that.
"...What's up?"
no subject
Date: 2013-09-19 05:54 pm (UTC)"Um." That was an excellent start. Also, she was still standing awkwardly in the doorway. "Well, I came back."
... They were both aware of that.

Date: 2013-09-19 07:48 pm (UTC)Shhhhhh. This was a rare thing for her.

Date: 2013-09-19 08:03 pm (UTC)It was a little bit clingy from her side. Because reasons.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-19 08:26 pm (UTC)"So," she mumbled, "how was space?"
no subject
Date: 2013-09-19 08:41 pm (UTC)"It was... Well, it could've been better. We had to make a pretty swift exit."

Date: 2013-09-19 09:07 pm (UTC)Apart from her having gone to space and almost gotten married, obviously.
"But I don't think any of the grown-ups wanted peace. I mean, I went to Majesdane with Xavin to try and achieve peace with our marriage. But there were insults at the wedding, and now I don't know if anyone else even survived."
no subject
Date: 2013-09-19 09:34 pm (UTC)But Victor had been the one to mention the marriage part, and the one to tell Gert that Karolina would definitely come back. So he got props too.
"Wow, adults starting shit they can't handle for absolutely no reason," Gert noted. "Just like old times." Which was to say that she wasn't exactly shocked. "Are you okay?"

Date: 2013-09-19 09:58 pm (UTC)"I think I know where this is going," she said, nudging Old Lace to the side so she could shift into a more comfortable position. For some reason, she felt a twinge of irritation; rationally, she knew that she wanted to be told about the developments in her friends' universes that concerned her, but hearing them recount not once but twice a story that ended in her death was a little... disheartening. Gert clamped down on the bulk of the irritation, but she still muttered, "Is the climax of this story me meeting an untimely end?"

Date: 2013-09-19 10:10 pm (UTC)"Victor told you." There was no other explanation, of course. "Gert, I'm so sorry."
no subject
Date: 2013-09-19 10:30 pm (UTC)She looked down at her dozing deinonychus, mostly to avoid making eye contact, but that just made her feel worse. "I guess Old Lace went with her, huh?"
no subject
Date: 2013-09-20 08:58 am (UTC)She chewed on her lip. "Actually... No. She, uh, she saved Old Lace. Transferred the telepathic bond to Chase."
