WHO: Molly Suresh and Adric
WHAT: Campus Tour
WHEN: Mid-afternoon; around 3PM
WHERE: Colligo University
RATING: TBD [doubtful it'll be too high]
STATUS: In Progress

Although Molly had already decided to take classes, she also opted - on a whim, really - to sign up for one of the campus tours that was offered throughout the day. It was a good chance to get to meet some of her fellow students and see the campus from another angle. She already had most of the layout memorized; she'd had a map of the school and surrounding area hanging on her wall since she was a child. But that didn't mean she really knew the campus.

Making her way to the starting point - out front of the Student Activity Centre, by the large statue of a man she didn't recognize - Molly glanced at the rest of the group. Locals. All of them. Except for one. She spotted him last, or at least quit looking when she saw him. She recognized him from the message board, the picture on there not very big but clear enough she could recognize him. What was his name? Something starting with an 'A'. She was just about to reach for her PDA to find out when she remembered.

Adric! That had been it. Molly was good with names. A quick closing of her eyes and reaching out with her ability proved she was right, too. Adric. He was right there, right beside her. Just a few people away. She opened her eyes and moved toward him, smiling as she gave a slight wave to get his attention. "Hey!" she greeted him, realizing a second too late that she probably sounded a little too excited. She couldn't help it though. She really hadn't expected to see anyone she might be able to really talk to on this thing.

"I'm Molly," she reintroduced herself, not sure if he'd remember her or not. "We chatted when you first showed up. Theorized about programming for the locals..." And now she felt slightly awkward, shifting from foot to foot, worried he wouldn't remember. This right here, she decided, was exactly why she still had the same friends she'd had since she was ten.

The names were familiar. The Doctor had made every effort to get him interested in earth literature, and there were a few things that had managed to stick. Most of the maths texts, a lot of the physics. He had managed to devour the entire Stephen Hawking library in the TARDIS within a matter of days. Fiction had been a tricker minefield to navigate, especially as he rarely understood the context of most of the stories, but the Holmes novels had been able to hold his interest through their very design.

And while pointing out the absurdity of the situation that she was relating was a matter forefront in his mind, that all vanished when she indicated exactly where she was shot. The matter of being shot by a fictional villain aside... "Isn't that usually fatal?"

Humans, from what he could remember, were a great deal more fragile than to take one of their bullets to the chest and survive it as...seamlessly as she appeared to have.

Molly had to admit, she was impressed. Most people would have questioned the identity of the shooter before asking how it was she was still alive. Of course, there was still the chance that Adric simply hadn't recognized the names she'd given, but Molly didn't think that was the case. No, she had a feeling it was much more likely that he truly was just more focused on trying to figure out how she had managed to survive what, as he pointed out, should have been a fatal wound.

"It is," she agreed easily enough, milking his confusion for a few seconds longer before finally explaining. "I happen to know a woman whose blood can heal pretty much anything. Which includes gunshot wounds. She just gave me a shot of it and I healed right up, good as new." Her smile was sincere, her tone light but clearly not joking or teasing. Either she was telling the truth or she was a damn good liar. Molly really hoped he didn't think the latter was true, but honestly wouldn't have blamed him if he was skeptical.
