Who: Gwen and Darcy
What: Gwen arrives and doesn't know what's going on
When: Tonight
Where: Their rooms.
Warnings: Low, I'm assuming. Gwen doesn't even cuss that much, really.

Gwen Stacy's life had become rather quiet since she and Peter broke up. After finishing high school she was accepted at Empire State University. Her roommate and her were two completely different people; but despite the roommate's party-girl ways, she and Gwen had managed to reach common ground. This recent result made Gwen feel as if she was finally beginning to adjust to her freshman year.

However, when she woke up on a sofa in a living room that she had never seen before, the first thought Gwen had was, did I go out last night and pass out? But then she remembered she didn't go out the night before. Instead, she had stayed in cramming for an anatomy exam. Besides, Gwen wasn't usually one to drink that much. She could not hold her liquor really well.

Remembering the exam, but forgetting the strange room for a moment, Gwen jumped off the couch and went to the nearest room to get ready. The fear of missing an exam suddenly outweighed the concern for where she was at the present. However, when she opened the door there was already another girl inside, and it wasn't her roommate.

"Oh my god!" Gwen immediately turned around and closed the door. "I'm sorry!"

Gwen held her head in her hands for a moment, feeling like a complete idiot. "I seem to be in the wrong room. I'm really sorry. Could you possibly point me in the direction of Williams Hall? If not, I'll just get out of your way. I'm sorry."

Gwen began to debate whether or not she should just leave rather than wait for directions back to her dorm.

"That's an understatement," Gwen agreed regarding how much it sucks not knowing or understanding what is happening. Gwen took a deep breath, trying to stay focused. So she was awake, she was in another world, and now she had to start all over again. At the mention of Christmas gifts she nodded in agreement but secretly hoped she wouldn't be there still when Christmas came around.

Gwen laughed, "Poli Sci counted for the internship?" She listened as Darcy explained Thor, Loki, and Odin. She shook her head trying to keep everything straight. "So you're saying the Norse gods are real and had some sort of sibling rivalry on Earth? You were in New Mexico...so how is it I have no knowledge of this? I feel like fighting Norse gods would attract some attention."

Gwen ran a hand through her hair trying to take in the new information. Things seemed to keep piling on. "You weren't kidding. You did come from strange. No wonder you're calm. I had my own run-in with my boyfriend...ex-boyfriend genetically altered with spider traits fighting a ten-foot lizard-human hybrid. But, that was a few months ago. You seriously win on the weird experience thing."

"Yep! And - apparently they do this big saving-earth-thing in New York later, along with someone I know you'll have heard of - Iron Man? Though, I guess I don't know if you would've heard of him. People are from different dimensions and stuff, so... maybe they don't where you're from." Darcy made a face, hating the confusion that those sorts of details brought about. "And really, I got the coffee and stuff, so - isn't that a big part of what an inter really does anyhow? Low man on the totem stuff."

"Genetically altered with Spider traits and a ten-foot lizard-human hybrid?" Darcy paused and stared at her roomie. "Can't science create something - cute? Fluffiest dog ever, or cutest kitten. Instead we have bridges to Norse gods visiting Earth and lizard-human hybrids who are - tall, for some reason. You would think a lizard-human would be shorter than a human since last I checked, Godzilla wasn't real." Was he?

Gwen shook her head, "I haven't actually heard of him, I'm sorry. I guess it is the whole dimension thing. I feel like I would have remembered Norse gods in New Mexico or some sort of Earth-doomed thing in New York. I'm from New York. The worst we've had is The Lizard I told you about."

She laughed a little and shrugged, "Well...I guess it affects people differently. We did once make a glow-in-the-dark bunny once, though. Unfortunately, he didn't live long. But it was cute and fluffy and glowing while he lived."

Gwen made a face at the thought of The Lizard. Darcy had a point, why was he so tall? "I'm not actually sure why he was ten feet...you would think he'd be small since lizards are small. Or at least human-sized and green with a long tongue? I'm not sure. I didn't really get a chance to ask him." She shook her head, trying to get the image of Doctor Conners like that. "So, what do you do around here? Do you go to the university nearby?"

"That or the time thing. Who knows? Hey, the Norse gods thing might've been going on at the same time as The Lizard or - the government might've played hush up. It's hard to tell anymore." Darcy admitted with a shrug, then turned her attention to the idea of a glowing bunny.

"Aww. That sounds - scary-adorable. Oh, well. I guess having a pet rabbit that glowed would make it hard to sleep at night anyhow." She conceded, then grinned. "A cat would be ever worse. Can you imagine the reactions if people's cats started to glow? Sneaking around in the dark no more."

"Exactly. And I guess you wouldn't." She shrugged, then made a face at the university mention. "I don't have my records from home, so - I really don't have a way to transfer credits. Just test out of classes. And then I would have to either get a scholarship or else go into debt soooo... I'm being lazy and not. I figure I'll get a job somewhere soon and just - live off the castle for however long this lasts. It's not like I have to worry about essentials. No, I watch TV, movies, read, lie around, take bubblebaths - you should look at the size of the bathtub and there's a separate shower, and wander around occasionally. Oh, do you want to go see the library or the kitchen? They're both huge and the library has a ton of movies too. Or do you want a few minutes alone in your room to have the 'omg' mental meltdown? I'm good either way."
