So he had to face the cold, hard truth: the vacation he planned on taking after the council meeting was not going to happen. It wasn't as if the place didn't exist, but his reservation and his surfboard certainly did not. On the upside, the rental car was pretty much his now. He didn't think Enterprise was going to be sending their employees across dimensions to retrieve it. The SUV was just a lttle more reliable than his old jeep.

He was pretty sure that his stepfather would have loved this place and the differences in demonology for their world. Even he was interested. The rules of his world had been turned upside down, which had brought up a few good questions. Like could a halfdemon be possessed by one of the Lost-like smoke demons?

"Why me?" He hadn't realized he'd spoken outloud. "Not that the dimensional exchange student thing is all bad but seriously..." He hesitated and started patting down his pockets. "I really hope I didn't forget my wallet."

"Crumbly? Sorry, I ask a lot of questions. My teachers used to say there was no stupid questions, but there was such a thing as too many questions." He shrugged, grinning. "I can't help being curious."

When the food came, Adam leaned back out of the waitress's way. "Thank you." He eyed the paper wrapped chopsticks and the fork, hand hovering over each one before he picked up the chopsticks. If Paige and Lucas could work those things, so could he. "I take it back. It kind of sounds like the West Side Story now, only with cooler names."

Shay worked the chopsticks like someone who'd been doing it since birth, "I don't even know what that is." She said, shaking her head once, " and crumblies are the old folks, the Late Pretties, grandparents and stuff." She shook her head, "And it's not a stupid question, I forget that you wouldn't know, the language is different, well, sort of different." There was only a momentary pause as she finally braved a bite of chicken, grinning, "That's really good, kind of reminds me of the Smoke."

Adam snapped the chopsticks apart, shifting the two halves in his hand uncertainly. The first attempt at wrangling a piece of chicken between the two points failed. "Ah. That makes sense. Crumblies like older buildings deteriorate and don't tell any elderly I made that comparison. They're scary with their motorized chairs and canes." He nodded. "The slang. I feel old admitting that even today's slang trips me up sometimes. I'd like to think it's just the constant change that does it." He gave her the thumbs up. "Awesome. You spotted a good place."

She smiled at the praise, shrugging and nibbling at her food again, "Sometimes the first place is the best. I might have to do some research though, just to see."

She shrugged then, continuing the previous thread of conversation, "And I like to think that's exactly why we call them crumblies, because they're starting to crumble."

"Now you sound like my best friend. I swear, she can't pick a hotel without doing research on three different websites and even then, she's not sure," he said, shaking his head as he grinned. "It's a compliment, even if it doesn't sound like one."

He managed to pick up another piece of chicken, popping it in his mouth. "It's very appropriate. Crumblies. I like that."

She nodded, "And kids, like, the under-twelves are Littlies, on account of they're little." She shrugged, "Usually we're pretty sense-making with the mouth-words." The crooked smile gave away that she was mostly teasing on that last one.

She shrugged, "And researching to make sure you've got the best place is usually a good thing. I'm usually sure I've got the best once I find it though. Usually. I've been wrong before, though I don't usually admit it."

"Littlies. All right, that sounds like something I'd call a kid that came up to my knee but probably would've kicked an adult in the shin for when I was a kid. Littlies," he said slowly. "That's a fun word." He snorted. "Mouth-words. I like that."

Yeah, that definitely sounded like Paige. Only usually threats were involved and then he was a little bit scared of her. Don't mess with the studious witch. "No one likes to admit when they're wrong so unless you really don't like that person, it's like 'hey, everyone look that way' and completely and intentionally missing that the person is wrong."

She nodded, "A bit like that, yeah." She shrugged, "I know some people are way worse at being wrong than others, it's just that nobody really talks about it at all."

Another smile, "And feel free to use the phrase, if you like it that much, that's how the really bubbly stuff gets started anyway. One person likes it and passes it on and somebody else picks up on it and spreads it around, language is kind of like a virus that way."

"With the right people, I talk about it," he said, giving her a grin. "Of course, then my best friend threatens to do unnameable things to my manliness and in the interest of self-preservation, I have to back off." He poked the sticks at another piece of meat. "Which is probably where it would be a good idea not to talk about it, huh?"

He definitely was. Any twist of the English language was all right in his books. "Exactly. Many a cool word has been started that way."

She nodded, "Really I think most words were started that way, not just the cool ones." She shrugged, "I mean, that's all any language is, just sounds people made up a billion-zillion years ago."

Which was one of the things she liked knowing, pre-Rusty history, and if it was something she didn't know, she made it up, nobody else would know it either.

"Yeah. Sometimes I wonder about it, like how did things get their names? Like who looks at a dog and goes 'yeah, I think I'll call that dog'." He shook his head. "Probably will never get an answer to that."

He picked up another piece of chicken. "Yeah, I think I'm definitely coming back to here. Good food."

She nodded, already finished with her rice, just savoring the chicken, it really did remind her of the Smoke, and just at the moment she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but the food was good, and that was all that mattered, "Yeah, me too, especially now that I know where it is." She shrugged, "I've kind of just been scavenging, not like, roots and berries, but there's usually food in the big kitchen."

He started to ask what big kitchen she meant when it clicked in mind. "Right, the apartment complex place," he said, waving off the nearly asked question. "What's it like there? I mean, that many people in one place from all different places? Is it kind of weird?"

He pictured people having their own set ways of doing something and clashing over it but from what he'd heard so far, that wasn't the case. Still, he wasn't sure about living there. Although with his financial situation, it did look like a better possibility.

She shrugged, "It's okay, I guess, I haven't been in group housing like that since I was younger, but it's not bad. I mean, unless everyone's hiding all their anger-management issues because I'm new, but I don't think that's how it works."

Her brow creased just slightly, "You don't live there?"

"No, not usually." He started laughing. "I lived in this apartment building once where there was this seventy eight year old who hit on any guy that walked in or lived there. It was so awkward and at the same time, really freaking funny."

Adam shook his head. "Nope. I've been living in a motel, waiting for this seal thing to go 'oops, made a mistake' and put me back where I belong." He wrinkled up his nose. "You'd think by now that I'd realize it isn't but what can I say? I'm an optimist."

"There's worse things to be." She said with a shrug, smiling faintly again, "And that's how I was the first couple days, just wanted to go home where everything made sense. But whatever, I'm going to make the most of it while I'm here, might even learn something."

She tilted her head, "I don't know if newbies have to be voted in or what, I mean, they just kind of let me in, but if they do I'll vouch for you."

"Definitely. Pessimists, I don't get how they walk around thinking so negative about everything. It doesn't make them too much fun to be around." He tried gathering up a ball of rice with the chopsticks, but when it failed miserably, he traded for a fork. "That's the spirit. Once I accept that I'm not going home until the seal says I can, I'll be fine." He shrugged one shoulder. "And get used to this place."

"Really? Cool. If I decide to move in there, I will definitely give you a call then."

She shrugged, "I don't have a handphone, so you'll probably just have to let whoever's on duty know that you know me, I'm usually pretty easy to find, room 404, or up on the roof, I like it up there."

Another small smile, "And mostly I'm hoping that since it isn't planning on sending me back, at least it could drag some of my Clique along too, right?"

"Shay, room 404. Reference to the building. Got it and thanks. I appreciate it." He still wasn't sure if he wanted to stay in the complex but in case he did, it was nice knowing he had an in. "The roof is a nice place. You can lay on your back and watch the stars. I think that's one of those rare times I sit still."

He dropped his fork on the plate and grabbed a napkin. "That too. The seal needs to be nice to us, make sure we have people around. It owes us that much. Not that it probably cares, but still."

She shrugged, "One of those batten down the hatches, make do with what you've got kind of things as far as people go, I guess. If you don't have the ones you know, make yourself known to the ones that are here, which is really weird for me."

Another shrug, "And you're welcome. Just don't make me regret it." She added with a stern finger-point, though she was still smiling all the same.

"That I can do. I used to be a bartender - " He hesitated. "Well, kind of am a bartender again here so social is my thing. I used to get really good tips too." He wiped off his mouth and dropped the napkin onto his empty plate. "But if you're in a place and you don't have your peeps, you're right. You have to make new allies."

He extended his hand. "I'll try not to. It was nice meeting you, Shay."

She grinned once more, accepting the handshake, "You too. And y'know, maybe you should invest in a handphone, because then next time you go talking to yourself, at least you don't look totally crazy."

She unfolded smoothly from her seat then, hoisting her board onto her back once more, settling the strap comfortably before giving him a cheery wave on her way out.

"I do." Adam withdrew from the handshake to pull his cellphone out of his pocket, holding it up. "I just don't have anyone to call. That and I forgot about the miming a call so I don't look crazy ploy. I will remember that for next time though." He slid the phone back in his pocket.

Leaning back, he raised a hand to wave good-bye, calling out to her on her way out. "Thanks for the company!"
