( 002 ) video ✶ strangers waiting up and down the boulevard
[ sup, fellow space kidnapees. a considerably more relaxed jenna, here. ]
Okay: so here's a question that doesn't have anything to do with your spaceship related skills or why we shouldn't wander off by ourselves.
If we're all stuck here together-- the together part is key-- doesn't it make sense to get to know each other a little? I'm not saying we need nightly family dinner, but maybe one time so everyone can meet, exchange names, mingle, develop basic connections?
...And make a roster, maybe. Because asking if 'that really taciturn guy I met by the elevator' is okay doesn't have the same ring as a name. [ sup spock. ] And not to be looking at the negative already, but that way people without someone they already know here don't end up slipping through the cracks.
[ she spreads her hands wide and grins, teasingly. ]
So, are we in? Because if we all have to shower together, we should probably have dinner first.
Oh, and one more thing. [ jenna holds up an iPod, waving it a little. ] Can anyone in the science club tell me they can recharge this? I have an almost full battery, but that's not going to last forever. I can trade... I don't know, something for it. We can work it out.

So. How-- [ are we ] are you?
[ are we still dating? ] We should probably talk, right? Even if it's just me getting advice.
I know it's selfish, and I know it's the last thing you want to think about but I don't want to do this alone, Ric.

Just name the time and place.

I'm Ariadne. College student from the twenty-first century - well, 2010 to be exact. [ in case that needed to be explained. ] Nice to meet you, Jenna - where you from?
[voice]
Another career paper writer, huh? Grad school, here. And equally convinced it's 2010. [ ah, the where are you from question. GET READY FOR THE DISCLAIMER. ] Don't laugh, because I didn't name it-- but Mystic Falls. It's in Virginia.
[voice]
Uh. Can't say I've heard of it. But you know the states; small towns are a plenty. [ which gets a small, short laugh to come out of her then. ]
What's your major? [ curious as all ever. ] Studying to be an architect myself – well, I was. [ the disappointment sound evident there. ]
[voice]
Every single state has a Springfield, and other than that people pretty much just know the big cities.
Psych major, currently in thesis hell. [ ...huh. ] Or, right. Not so currently.
