Room 401, Tuesday Afternoon

[ashockingbitch]

The door and window were both open to allow some of the cloud of cigarette smoke to escape, and Jenny was sitting at her desk, making a list of demands items she was going to need. Like a laptop and a PS3, for starters. And higher-threadcount sheets. Preferably silk. In the margins were chastisements to Jack about how she'd specifically requested a better world and sodding Paris Hilton (who was, as far as Jenny could tell, a completely worthless human being) was dominating the news so clearly he'd failed. Also she still didn't have her iPhone and was kind of annoyed about that.

Most of her things were either still in her bags or strewn about her half of the room, but a Union Jack had been pinned up over her bed and a photograph of seven people sat in a place of honor on her bedside table.

((Open! Come talk to Jenny and/or complain about the smoke.))

"Huh," Claire repeated, and grinned again. "Cool."

And there she dropped it. "Hey, what classes are you signing up for?"

Cause y'know, classes are more important

[ashockingbitch]

"I didn't actually do the signing up," Jenny confessed. "It got done for me." She dug through the papers Midnighter had shoved into her hand before he fled left for a moment. "Hang on, I know it's here somewhere...ah! Applied Ethics, Interdisciplinary Studies, and...How to Be a Comic Book Superhero??"

"Oh I went for Ethics, too," Claire remarks. "Scouting's my other one.

"Wouldn't you already know how to be a superhero?"

[ashockingbitch]

"By now? One would think so." Jenny rubbed her temple. "Sodding ponce thinks he's being funny."

Claire grinned, and exhaled quickly, almost a laugh.

"It is kinda funny," she offered.

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny shook her cigarette chidingly at Claire, but the corners of her mouth were quirked up. "You're not helping, girly."

In return, Claire smirked and leaned forward to lie face down on her bed, head resting on hands, elbows on her bedspread.

"Oh come on, everyone's got to take a class they know already. Take the easy ace."

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny leaned back in her chair. "Guess that's true. It's been a long time since I did the school thing."

[savedfornow.livejournal.com]

"A century, right?"

Claire grinned widely at her.

"Don't worry. I'm as new here as you, but I know all about the high school thing. It's easy."

[ashockingbitch]

"It hasn't been quite that long," Jenny said. "Close. But not quite. So I should just stick close to you?"

"If you want," Claire said with a shrug. "Or just catch me in here sometimes."
