New clothes were bliss. Music outside her own head was bliss. Waking up in a warm bed that didn't have bugs and being able to take a hot shower was absolute bliss. And the best part was that most of them time, they were completely alone here while everyone else worked things out. When she'd woken up, she'd gone through the notes the others had left, put away the mess Andy had left and aired the room out from smoke, then went down into the common room to crank the music.

She danced cheerily as she sang, a hairbrush held up like a microphone as she belted out the lyrics to a favorite pop song, her voice soaring with the music, letting it override the noise inside her mind. Loud as it was, she didn't hear when the door opened, and someone else came in.

"I'll tell you," Ganesh answered. "Especially if I decide not to join." He frowned, thinking about it. "Once I would have jumped at this chance. I used to read comics like crazy when I was younger--this isn't much different."

Looking into the coffee cup, he added, "Perhaps that's the problem. I'm not... what the rest of you are." Again. He'd been surrounded all his life by the Wild Card and always an outsider to it.

	"I'm not either," Char pointed out. "Mickey is. I'm just the music major who got dragged into him. So you'd have one nat friend in the house, just part time." A small smile at that. "She must have something in mind for why nats, too. Saying it's because we all get along seems too easy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shook his head. "It does seem easy. All of this... it's too easy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Almost makes me wish I could read minds." The words were offhand, but the internal reaction, a sudden twist of pain and confusion in her mind, were distracting. Char pressed fingers to the bridge of her nose, swallowing the moan. She scribbled a hasty mental note asking WHY? before her eyes opened to look at Ganesh again. "Sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent)
