Connor had finished his homework earlier. He was pleased that it had taken him not long at all to get it down. But now.. he needed a workout. And then maybe a good lunch after that was done too. And so, he dressed simply. Jeans and a shirt. He had closed up his door and made his way outside the apartment building. "Now.. let's see.." He looked at the clock on his phone. It was after twelve. He supposed he had enough time, plenty of time to make use of the facilities at the college. There were plenty of options. Hitting the bag, running the treadmill, running laps, etc. He was fully capable of doing either one of those or all of the above. And so, he walked around outside, debating whether he should walk or take his motorbike...

	Penny was walking back to her apartment building. She had taken a walk around the city. She needed to get used to the place, and find a job of some kind. She was so lost in her thoughts and almost bumped into someone. "Sorry," she said, giving them a warm smile. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He probably should have been watching his step too. "No, I'm sorry," he said with a shrug. "It's cool. I probably should have kept my mind on my path." He noticed that he did not recognize her. So, ever the polite young man, he offered his hand in greeting. "I'm Connor. Are you new around here? I'm not sure if I've seen you around before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shook his hand. "I'm Penny. Yes I am new here. I arrived here on Saturday. Have you been here long?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Been here for a little while," Connor said as they shook hands briefly. "Just a week or so before Halloween I think. I'm originally from Los Angeles. I was in my last year of Stanford before coming here unexpectedly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm originally from Los Angeles too," she said, smiling at him. "Oh I'm sorry," she said. "You must have been very bright though to get into Stanford." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ohh, that's cool!" Connor smiled. "My dad and a few friends are also from around there. Or at least from California in general." He nodded. "Yeah, I made some good high marks in most of my classses. When I wasn't working out at a gym, of course. So what do you think of this place so far?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have a friend who is here who is from Los Angeles too," she said softly. She smiled at him. "Well I'm sure that your talents will not go to waste here. This place? It's odd how we end up here and there's no escape but well, I know more people here than I did at home, so I guess it's not so bad." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh, well that's good," Connor said with a smile, "not being here alone, I mean. I'd feel a lot out of place if none of my friends were here." But if that were the case.. he'd deal. Like he usually did.

He sighed as he remembered his own arrival some time back. "Believe me, I tried escape. Even tried to fight them.. they don't like that." He laughed. "But meeting new people here is definitely considered a silver lining."

	She nodded her head. She didn't have anyone from home to miss. "Yes, it is," she said, smiling at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Connor found himself smiling back. It was refreshing to have a nice conversation that didn't involve bad guys. "So.. what kind of work did you do before coming here, if I may ask?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I worked for the caring hands homeless shelter. Well not worked, I volunteered there. I volunteered in a few other places too," she said, smiling warmly at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A homeless shelter?" Connor seemed to recognize that sort of thing. He did live in L.A., after all. "That's really cool. My dad knew this woman named Anne, she ran a shelter too. Did great work for the community." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled warmly at him. "It's really nice to be able to help people. To make a difference in their lives. There are way too many homeless people in the world. I wish I could help them all." (Reply to this) (Parent)
