Who: Chris Knight and Open to Anyone
When: March 28
Where: Park between the two apartment buildings
Rating: I'm guessing PG.

Chris sat with a history book in his hands, laying down on a park bench. It's all he had been doing since they left Quarantine. He didn't know anyone. He was taken from the 1980s. Everyone he could have even began to think of to contact would be long since dead by now.

He closed it, frustratingly. So much had happened, so much had changed, that even he couldn't get his head wrapped all the way around it. He was the science genius. He suddenly missed Mitch and wondered if they could figure this out together if he were here. Without anything to test, Chris felt lost.

	"Neither, actually. Not far from here but. I don't know, didn't want to be in a government house any longer than I had to. It's a crappy apartment I share with a woman and her baby but it'll do for now, I guess." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chris nodded. "Sorry, just figured since you were over here in the park for the buildings." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Borrowed a book from a girl I met in quarentine." She smiled a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Gotchya,' Chris winked at her. "Not that I'm complaining you're here. Wouldn't do that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well I'd hope I couldn't make a bad impression this quickly, yeah." She laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Someone as pretty as you could never make a bad impression on me," he smiled, offering the compliment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's the first time I've been called pretty in fifty-three years." She grinned, teasing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Bout damned time then, huh?" he smiled. This conversation was nice. Hell, he wasn't even compelled to hit on her like he usually hit on women. He knew it was because of everything that was happening. He felt a bit changed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Damn right." She grinned, laughing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chris would have usually asked for the girl's number or made a ton of sexual innuendos by this point, but she was the first real "friend" he'd met since he got here and he didn't want to scare he off. Chris Knight with tact! It was an amazing thing. "We should definitely hang out sometime." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Definitely." She agreed easily, "I'll give you my number... if I can remember it. Would the address be easier?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chris pulled a small notepad he used to write down ideas in and a pen. "Sure, either one." He flipped through about twenty pages of little model drawings and scrawled notes and jotted down his number. He ripped out the page and handed her both the notebook and the page. "Here you go."

	She wrote the address first, then what she was fairly sure was the phone number, "Try not to call after about nine though. Kid's pretty good at sleeping but if anything wakes him up? Oish." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Gotchya," he winked at her again. "Wouldn't put you through that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	swissarmyaussie 2009-04-02 02:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Good man." She laughed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Should probably let you get back to whatever you were planning on doing," he scooted towards the edge and stood up. 'Can't keep you locked in conversation all day," he flashed her another grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Makes a nice change, actually." She admitted, "Probably should go get something to eat though. Nice meeting you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	real_genius 2009-04-02 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Nice meeting you too. I'll give you a call." He looked her over once more and stuck his hands in his coat pocket, before turning and walking towards the building. (Reply to this) (Parent)
