[Piper, Peter, Galadriel]

Um... Cole is back. He's back and he doesn't remember me at all... I'm not really sure how I feel about this, yet. The last time he was here he didn't seem to remember how he'd felt about me. Maybe it's for the best, but it's still a weird feeling.

[Phoebe's decided to spend the day perusing the library. She's already found a copy of her book, as strange as that is, and has decided a romance novel might be just the thing to cure the strange feelings that have cropped up from Cole's reappearance. So she's curled up in a comfy chair with a copy of Dusk. She's a few chapters in and making a very confused face at the book]

They sparkle?! That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Do people actually like these books or is it supposed to be some sort of parody or something...

((ooc: I'm back. From outer space! Sorry about my little unannounced hiatus, there, but I'm back full force, now! And, yes, Phoebe is currently reading Twilight and disapproving mightily. Feel free to bother!!))

[She blinks as she flips through the book] Can you read this?

[with a smirk] Ugh. Tell me about it. I'll take The Verve, any day, over most of the stuff I've heard.

Sorta? It's pretty close to the Theban alphabet, if you squint. ... It's mostly the fact that it's another language that's the problem. But I know a couple people from this world, so... they'll help me out.

At least, m'pretty sure Aradia will. [he would not put money on Vriska]

The Verve? Don't think they're around yet in '92...

Well that's a help, at least. [she sets the book back down]

'92? Is that when you're from? [She grins] Yeah, the Verve's first album (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Hymns) came out in '97. It's still my favorite, though. [She silently wishes up the CD and holds it out] Give it a listen sometime, maybe you'll like it.

Yeah, Aradia's really cool like that. And really smart, too. Have you met any of the Alternians? They're fascinating. I mean - some of 'em are kinda rude, but that's more a cultural thing than anythin' else, I think. They're actually all nice once y' learn how t' talk to 'em. [yes, even Vriska. he's so on to her]

Hey, free music! Thanks! [he grins and tucks the CD into the back of his journal to keep it flat and safe] I'll put it on while I'm workin' in the darkroom, tonight. Got a lot of pictures from Halloween and stuff that I wanna develop.

[She shakes her head] Not that I know of. It doesn't sound familiar, at least.

You have a darkroom? [she grins] Prue made one in our basement when she started getting into photography. I don't know much about it, myself, but I think it's great.

M'not too surprised -- there were a whole lot more've them, a few months ago, but ... a bunch of them got sent home. So you don't tend to see 'em around as much.

If you ever wanna learn, you can come on over. It's not that hard to learn the basics - it's mostly a lotta practice.

I'm sorry. It's tough when someone you know is sent home. [She shoots him a sympathetic smile.]

Really? I'd like that. I always love to learn new things. I'd go back to school if I had the time.

Yeah ... but you never know, they might come back! [he shrugs] And yeah, of course! You just let me know when you wanna come give it a shot! I've still got a few rolls I shot down in town that I haven't developed yet, I can make copies of the negatives and you can practice on those.

Oh, believe me, I know. Though I'm a little torn. I would love to see Paige again... but I don't know if I could bring myself to hope for her to be trapped, here.

[a pause] I'd like that a lot. Just as long as I won't be getting in the way of anything.

Yeah, I feel the same way about Pete and Egon - they'd get used to it here, and Egon'd probably love it ... but ... it's a half-and-half thing, yanno?

You won't be in the way at all! I mean, it's a little small, but that's okay. It doesn't feel like a good darkroom unless it's tiny and you're bashin' your elbow on somethin' once in a while.

Egon? Is he another Ghostbuster?

[she chuckles] Prue took over our basement with hers. Of course, she was always an overachiever.

Yeah, he's one've my oldest friends. Him and Pete. And Z, but I haven't known him half as long as I've known the other guys.

Still, how long you've known someone doesn't necessarily make a difference as far as how close you are to them. Look at Paige, for example. I didn't know she existed until a few years ago. Now I feel just as close to her as I feel with Piper.

Yeah, I guess you're right - we all got pretty tight with Z fast enough. It depends on what'cha go through, really... and boy, we went through a lot.

Is it just the four of you, then?
