Who: Cassie MacMahon and Carter Jensen What: The Adventures of Cassie and Carter: Part One Where: Malibu --> Everywhere. When: Today. Warnings: Crazy epic?
Despite having been a reincarnate for a month, Carter hadn’t taken advantage of the MTN. He’d been busy, frankly. There’d been the rest of finals, moving temporarily out of his dorms, dealing with Toby…and basically avoiding thinking about being a reincarnate too much. Despite that, he’d teamed up with Dinah with research – something he was vaguely proud of, even if there was an obvious avoidance there. (Because suggesting researching the source of insane characters and people definitely didn’t include him. At all.) And sure, he’d mucked around on the forums…but beyond that, Carter would have liked to think he did a good job of ignoring the crazy guy in his head.
Getting out of the cold seemed like a logical move – he’d gone as far as he could through the Dune books before his eyes blurred. The adventure that came out of a random conversation with Cassie was worth going after. He notified the few people who’d care that he’d be gone – namely the head of the children’s ward at the center – before heading to the library the morning of. Maps were printed out and a few practicalities were shoved into a Jansport backpack. By the time he was supposed to hit the MTN, he thought he was as prepared as he could be.
He found the office easily enough and made it through with only a little bit of trouble. He stumbled out into the Malibu building, offering a sheepish smile to the woman running the thing before setting out. The immediate change in temperature was welcome and he shrugged off his sweatshirt, shoving it into his backpack before waiting outside. He’d probably look less like a loser if he waited outside the main entry area – besides, this way he got the breeze.
