[ quinn stares at the pamphlet for a moment, skimming the pages, then tosses it aside like it was a piece of trash she'd picked up by mistake. ]

If this is some sort of freshman hazing, I've seen better. [ like how the football team used to trap artie in the porta-potties. ] I've done better. [ things she'd rather not think about; that's not her anymore. ] I'm not impressed, and I'm not joining whatever sorority you're trying to recruit for. My answer's no, so you can let me out now.

I've got orientation in an hour and if I miss, I won't hesitate to turn you and everyone else involved in this to campus police.

	[ quinn follows. ] I'm not-- This is the first thing like this to ever happen to me. Some people act like this is an every day thing for them, but this is something that only happens on TV or in movies where I'm from. Which sounds ridiculous to say - where I'm from, like Ohio's another planet! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I understand. My life isn't exactly average and I've seen some weird things, but this definitely takes the cake. People act like it's an everyday thing because they've been here for awhile. It's kind of like a coping mechanism, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The only thing that comes close to any of this is that time my high school principal thought Tina was a vampire, because she dressed all gothic. Figgins wasn't the sanest man around, and that was at the height of the whole Twilight craze. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tries and fails to suppress a laugh] Okay, I haven't seen a principal throw holy water at one of his students, no. ...he didn't try the stake-to-the-heart thing, did he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, god no. Tina's parents would've sued. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Trying to stifle his laughter.] Good thing he didn't go that far, then. So you're a high school student? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ she shakes her head. ] I graduated in May. I'm a freshman at Yale, studying Theater Arts. Or I'm supposed to be, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nice. So you want to be an actor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action cheerleader 2012-06-10 06:47 am UTC (link)
	Actor, singer, dancer - something. Maybe all of the above. Hopefully. What about you, still in school? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action alwayswhelmed 2012-06-10 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds cool. I heard there's a play in production here. Maybe you should look into it, once you're settled. Er, as settled as anyone can get here. Oh, I don't go to school here. [Yeah he just redirected that question.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action cheerleader 2012-06-13 06:45 am UTC (link)
	A play... [ something to do that's in line with her studies, at the very least. ] But you did, somewhere else? Your home? [ squint. ] How old are you, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action alwayswhelmed 2012-06-13 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I did back home. I'm thirteen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action cheerleader 2012-06-13 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	...you really don't look thirteen. [ she'd guessed fifteen. way off. ] I'm eighteen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do I look older or younger? Really? You don't look a day over seventeen-and-a-half. [Sorry he's joking. Badly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action cheerleader 2012-06-15 08:15 am UTC (link)
	Older. I could've sworn you were at least a sophomore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Finally. Someone who doesn't act like I'm eight or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know what it's like to be treated like you're a child when you're older than your years give you credit for. [ she was homeless and a mom at sixteen, after all. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes all people ever see is an age. It's so stupid. [And now they're coming up on the entrance to the shelter. The clocktower looms overhead and the entrance to the shelter is friendly in a rather clinical way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action cheerleader 2012-06-21 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	And they assume age automatically means inexperience. Sometimes you have more experience than they do. [ she looks up at it, feeling like she's caught up in the middle of one of those video games puck used to play all the time. the ones he'd ignore her in favor of playing when she was pregnant with beth and living at his house. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action alwayswhelmed 2012-06-21 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. I'm a pretty experienced fighter, but all anyone sees is a kid. I mean, that's an advantage sometimes but it's still annoying. Oh, right, the bathroom should be nearby... Oh, over there. [He points to a door. It only says "restroom" on it with no male/female identifiers on it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action cheerleader 2012-06-22 04:35 am UTC (link)
	[ she stops in front of the bathroom door, just about to enter, but turns back around to face him. ] Fighter. What, like, karate or something? [ or maybe wrestling, like lauren did. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	action alwayswhelmed 2012-06-22 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	Not karate, technically. It's more of a mix of styles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ she hesitated, realizing how forward this kind of request was, especially with having just met him and all. back home, she would've laughed at the idea of asking such a thing of someone so much younger than her, but this place unnerved her and maybe knowing more than how to seriously hurt someone by coming off a pyramid formation wrong would do her some good. ]

...do you think you could show me, sometime? A girl could stand to know how to defend herself beyond the classic hair pulling techniques.

	[He looks thoughtful for a moment before he grins.] Sure, I wouldn't mind. It hasn't been too dangerous here so far, but being prepared can't hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
