Area 53 In Character

I don't understand what's happening here.

I'm supposed to be in Palm Springs. I have a job to do.

So Thursday is thanksgiving. That's a holiday we have where we eat a lot of delicious food and try to give thanks for something in our lives.

I know a lot of people are pretty new so my place will be open starting at noon that day for anyone who wants food and drinks.

Being thankful is optional. Just don't be a jerk.

It seems like we aren't being sent home anytime soon. I just hope Rue and my friends in Hawaii are okay. If Waincroft hurts them......

So this is different. Anyone care to tell me what's going on and how in the world I ended up in this place? Because this is seriously not cool.

Given the tragedy that occurred yesterday in my beloved Paris. A few of us at the college are holding a midnight vigil tonight to commemorate those who were brutally murdered by the terrorist actions.

Terrorism is still something I don't understand. There is no excuse for taking innocent lives. Fighting for freedom and liberty I understand. But, this waste of life. These attrocities, I do not. There are lines that should not be crossed..

I'm bored. This is not usually good for other people.

Since I'm stuck here for the time being, I might as well do something useful. I don't know if you get to take anything back with you - but since money doesn't have a place back home, knowledge is the best bet. Now I just have to pick a major that'll be relevant 100+ years in the future.

Anyone know the likelihood that people you know show up? Someone's got statistics or something, right?

Sometimes, you think you've seen it all. And then something else happens.

Like today.

I saw the campus. I like it. I think I'm going to start in January, finish up my freshman year. Guess I might as well do something while I'm stuck here.

nononnonononononono I can't be here. I need...I need to get back.

Damnit!

Okay, I got the spiel upon arriving of what has supposedly happened but is it actually true? Just, it was nowhere near the year 2015 and I've just started my fifth year at school and I had my prefect duties and Quidditch Practice... I don't have time to be kidnapped like this.

So I see there are quite a lot of new faces, and perhaps I should just introduce myself to save the trouble. My name's Ianto Jones and you'll find me at the Public Library. If you didn't know about it, now you do. Feel free to stop by, but do be careful with the books? It's been enough of a hassle getting things actually organized.

Also if you have anything that is overdue, please bring it in some time this week. We're missing a few texts and, unfortunately, whoever was manning the records in this place didn't keep quite as good a track as to who checked out what book and when as I'd like.

Oh, and don't touch the coffee machine in the back room. If you break it, you won't like the consequences. Not that anyone but staff is aloud back there anyway, but that does go doubly for fellow staff.

You won't like what I do to your coffee.

Oh, before I forget. Marius: left overs or takeout? Just so I can be certain what to expect in the fridge.

Ugh. I hate school. Why do I have to attend this thing at all, ever? It's so boring. Momma stopped sending me to school ages ago.

Hmph.

Maybe I'll just sneak out of class on Monday....

Can we just do away with school? I'd love that. Then I can play all day long and do whatever I want! Whose with me?

Is there anyone who would want to check out the college campus with me on Monday?

Does anyone know if there is a law firm here that's hiring? I'm asking for Matt.

[Malia]

I...don't know if you saw but Allison just arrived.

I'm - look, I'm going to meet her. Don't worry about waiting up.

[Edited Later]

On the other hand...do you think maybe you could?

I am just not made for this climate. This will take some getting used to.

What the hell is this supposed to be?

Well Kriff. You know, I was actually happy to get home after my stint in New York. I wasn't expecting to end up back on Earth which is a whole different galaxy to where I'm from. Still, this reminds me an awful lot of Tatooine.

I see that there's been a few arrivals lately. I'm Peggy Carter, I've been here for three years and am originally am from 1946 America (born in England though). I teach Martial Arts at the Gym here.
