WHO: Cooper and OPEN
WHAT: Cooper trying to find where he's staying
WHEN: Sunday afternoon
WHERE: Around the city
RATING: TBD

Cooper walked around the city, trying to find where the PDA had told him to go.

He had no idea how he'd ended up here or how to get back. He really hoped that he was dreaming and would soon wake up again.

Lena decided to go out and about to look for a job. She didn't know what kind of job she wanted but she wanted to do something dealing with art. Art actually kept her sane. She spotted someone walking around and thought that they could help so she went up to him in a shy and nervous way but she needed to find an art place. "Excuse me sir, but ummm do you know if there are any art studios or stores selling art or anything like that?"

	"Uh, sorry. I have no idea what or where this place is, so I won't be any help. I seem to have just arrived here and really hoping that this is all a dream and I'm gonna wake up any moment." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh Okay. Yeah I'm hoping the same thing. But I've been here for a few days. Still getting used to it." She then got silent and slid back into her shyness. But she didn't even know this guy so she reached out her hand. "I'm Lena by the way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shook her hand. "Hi Lena, nice to meet you. I'm Cooper, Cooper Lee. You don't know where Building C is do you?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-03 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, its very nice to meet you too Cooper." She then looked around "ummm well, I live in Building D. But I'm guessing its over there somewhere, close to the library maybe?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-03 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	He pulled out the PDA and looked at it. "It seems to be near Building A. Building D appears to be on it's own," he said. "The library? The place I was just thrown out of?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-03 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh well, it should be over by the library then." She pointed over towards the library. "Yeah. I got thrown out of there too by these guards or something. But yeah that would be the library" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled back "Hey its no problem. Good Luck with everything" She then went and found a bench and started drawing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-03 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	He followed her to the bench. "Uh, you wouldn't like to walk with me would you? I could use the company. And maybe you could tell me more about this place," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-03 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Looking at him following her to the bench. "Ummm no I can do that. I might not be so much of help but I can try." She closed up her drawing notebook and got up. "So you wanting to head to your apartment then to get settled in?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-03 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah," he said. "So, have long have you been here?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-03 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay" She started walking with him. "Not really all that long. Like 5 days or so. Its not that bad of a place, but its certainly not home either. So where are you from?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-03 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Charlotte," he said. "America," he added in case she didn't know where Charlotte was. "5 days. How are you finding it so far?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh Charlotte, North Carolina right? I'm from Bethesda, Maryland. But I consider or rather considered Santorini, Greece my second home, that's where my grandmother is from" She moved her hair out of her face.

"Well, its an okay place. There's things to do, its just the weather kind of bites here. I've never felt this cold in a really long time. So how are you liking it being that you haven't been here that long?"

	cooper_lee 2010-01-03 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, North Carolina," he said, grinning. "Greece seems like a beautiful country." "Yeah, not used to so much snow. Well other than the snow, the people seem nice so far," he said, smiling at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh Greece is just gorgeous. Nice views and nice people. I love it there or used to love it there considering that I can never return"

"Yeah I'm more used to warmer weather. Snow is really not my friend, or any cold weather for that matter. The people here do seem friendly but I've only met a few people and so far I've noticed nice people" she smiled back at him.

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-04 12:45 am UTC (link)
	Nodding her head up and down she continued to walk. "Well, I'm sure you'll meet some nice people and make friends with them and everything. I mean I miss my friends but right now this gives me an opportunity to focus on my art and everything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-05 12:59 am UTC (link)
	"Ummm yeah sure. I only have a couple right now that are finished." She took out her little drawing notebook. "Here is one that I did a couple days ago, its a little girl that I saw carrying a balloon." She was nervous with showing her work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean you could be an amazing race car driver and not know it," he said, grinning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-07 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Lena laughed "Ummm I don't think that I would be but hey maybe you'd be the famous race car driver. So what do you do for a living?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-07 12:40 am UTC (link)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-07 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"Oh so that whole thing was serious." She laughed a little bit. "Have you ever considered going back to driving race cars?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-08 05:21 pm UTC (link)

	"Yeah, I should really look into that," he said. "And hopefully you'll find a great art gallery to exhibit your work." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-10 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah and hey maybe I'll go to one of the races or something. I would love to draw a racing track." She then nodded "Oh me too, I did see this cute art store in the mall, I was going to check that out" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-11 05:36 pm UTC (link)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-13 01:26 am UTC (link)
	"That would actually be really great actually. Thanks." She smiled. "Yeah I think so too. Cause then I can work and concentrate on my artwork as well. I want to try and find some people to draw, maybe one of these days I'll get lucky or something." She laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-13 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"Well you can draw me sometime if you like," he said. "As long as it's not a nude," he added, chuckling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-13 01:56 am UTC (link)
	She smirked a little "hmmm I might take you up on that offer. And oh god no, I would never do that. I had a really bad experience in art school with drawing nude males." She giggled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cooper_lee 2010-01-13 01:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, well if you decide to take me up on it you can leave a message for me on this network thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lena_kaligaris 2010-01-21 01:31 am UTC (link)
	"I will definitely do that. Thank you, that's really nice of you to offer." She then noticed that he was at his building and she sighed. "Well, here is where you'll be staying here. I better get going. But I will contact you about modeling for me." She smiled over at him. (Reply to this) (Parent)
