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."

"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?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"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!"
