[Sweets is in the kitchen, fixing lunch with the journal open next to him as he does. He's making ... a heck of a sandwich, with lots of different ingredients spread out across the counter. he's in a sub sandwich kind of mood]

You know, I always found the levels of high school psychology fascinating, however I can't say I wanted to go back there and actually study first hand. Reminds me why I wanted to get through high school so quickly when I was younger. Though I should probably be grateful that they didn't put me at the actual age that I was when I was in high school.

[a beat]

Though the alien invasion was a nice touch.

[Open, either over the journal or in person. Have at him.]

I never even went to high school, alien invaded or otherwise.

[she's coming in to make lunch as well when she catches the tail end of this]

Nice might be a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[laughs]

As far as aliens go, I've seen worse.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[head tips a bit as he looks over to her]

There wasn't that form of education in your world?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Granted. But rescuing brainwashed friends wasn't exactly on my list of 10 things to do before I die.

[a smile, though. Honestly, she's pretty relieved that was the worst of it]

That's quite a sandwich.

[looks down at what he was doing]

It felt like that kind of day.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I don't know that there's ever a wrong day.

[she's just gonna start heating up a can of soup. Fancy sandwiches are for you silly people who wish for things]

[pearlhearted.livejournal.com]

Not in a small mountain village like the one I grew up in. You'd have to go to a city for that.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[he's making his from scratch, adding the lettuce and tomato]

True. But more so than usual.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I see. Did you enjoy it?

[pearlhearted.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well, it was definitely an interesting experience. I don't know if enjoy is the right word though.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, I meant the school part. Not so much the aliens invading part.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What's the occasion?

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[shrugs]

I survived another World Change?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[a laugh] True. That's worth celebrating.

[turning the burner up on the stove, she'll drop down into a chair at the table while she waits] Have you been here through a lot of these, then?

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I've been here for over a year and a half now. I've seen my fair share.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[blink] A year and a half?

And I thought nine months was a long time.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[nods]

It feels like such a long time ago now, but ... in the grand scheme of things it really hasn't been.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I guess that's true. Still... even with nine months, sometimes it feels like home was a lifetime ago.

[pearlhearted.livejournal.com]

So did I.

But honestly, it was a little fun to be a kid again.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[nods]

It was, wasn't it? Just to take the time to relax.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You haven't been privy to one of the castle's many unsolicited trips home?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Well, LA was my world... though the wrong side of the country.

[a head tilt] Unless you mean actually going back home, home. I've missed out on that bit.

[a small smile] Maybe a good thing, too, since the way back usually seems pretty painful.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[nods]

I haven't either. But no one from my world has been past my point in time, so ... I'm not sure if I want to.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

You have others here, then?
