*arrives, breathless, at the door of the lecture theatre* *tries to open the door but is informed by a very pissed-off-looking student that the Professor of Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics always locks the door*

But -- but it's only ten past nine! *sighs*

*folds her arms and leans against the wall, counting down the minutes until the lecture ends*

*emerges from the classroom at the end of the lecture...when the contrary bastard sets them free, that is*

*offhandedly* Better luck next time, folks. You missed a fun first session in the torture chamber.

*looks at you a bit more closely* *thinks you look sort of familiar?*
From: [info] Date: 08/30/2007 18:43:20  

Uh, don't even talk to me. The plan from Delving was delayed and I swear they wanted to imprison me just 'cause I'm related to Curufinwë's kids. jeez.

*tucks her hair behind her ears*
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/30/2007 18:51:03  

related to Curufinwë's kids

*turns this over in her head a bit longer*

*laughs suddenly* Uhm...do you know, I think I may actually be your niece?
From: [info] Date: 08/30/2007 18:54:40  

*with good humour* Really? Well, you're not one of Curufinwë's. *tilts her head to the side* Arafinwë only had the one girl and even that's open to question but you don't look like Írissë. My sisters didn't have daughters they didn't tell the rest of us about, did they?
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/30/2007 18:58:46  

*easily enough* Not that I'm aware of. No, I'd be the Noldo formerly known as Arakáno, actually.

*braces herself for any sort of reaction (though, really, yours can't be as bad as her sister's was)*
From: [info] Date: 08/30/2007 19:01:45  

But you were practically a baby, last time I saw you! A baby boy! *looks at you with amazement*
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/30/2007 19:07:14  

*grins* New world, new gender? *shrugs* Why not?

*raising an eyebrow* And you seemed positively ancient. And I don't recall loving your outfit quite so much. *cheerfully* I'd kill for a top in that cut, I really would.
From: [info] Date: 08/30/2007 19:09:38  

*brightly* I was positively ancient and terribly boring, I'm sure. High collars really were all the range in Taniquetil in those days, I'll have you know.

You must tell me who does your hair. It's fabulous!
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/30/2007 19:18:40  

*links arms with you* Well, come on then, let's go get a drink and catch up, shall we? Unless you're still at the mercy of that sour bloke in there?

Where are you even living? Somehow I managed to convince them to let me have on-campus housing. Just so I could get the full university experience, mind. It's pretty ghastly really.
From: [info] Date: 08/30/2007 19:23:17  

Eru, I'm getting out of her. I'm sure Brendan'll cover for me anyway. Brendan and me sort of had a bit of a thing last Spring Break? Old news, but he's always looked out for me.

Oh, I'm on-campus too. In Rose Halls? I think? I still haven't actually gone looking for my room because I'm that late back.
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/30/2007 19:31:25  

*nods sagely* Best to get them under your thumb early. Believe me, I understand.

*smirks* Lucky you then. I haven't even seen my roomie yet and...wait. Rose?? Tell me you're not on the ninth floor?
From: [info] Date: 08/31/2007 15:22:55  

Oh, it's very important to let them think they're in charge. Makes it much easier to get them to do stuff for you.

*blinks* Ninth? Yeah, that's right. In C-wing?
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/31/2007 16:27:12  

Yet somehow they never manage to catch on.

*delighted* Now say room nine-oh-seven and I'll know you're lying.
From: [info] Date: 08/31/2007 16:30:51  

No way, you're never! I thought I was sharing with some girl called Rachel!
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/31/2007 16:36:19  

*highly amused* You're looking at her! That was the name I went by until, oh, two weeks ago? When I got all my memories back.
From: [info] Date: 08/31/2007 16:39:20  

No way. That is so awesome! I was sure that I'd end up with some really boring but you're so not! Eru, you're my niece! How cool is that Oh, you so have to come visit Dad when he gets back from Delving!
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/31/2007 16:42:40  

Hey, Grandpa Finwë's around here somewhere too?? Do you think he'll remember me? *bites her lip* Most people don't.
From: [info] Date: 08/31/2007 16:55:35  

Put it this way? I wouldn't take it personally if he doesn't remember you 'cause he does get a bit forgetful but he also has a habit of surprising people.

*leads the way into one of the on-campus coffee shops* Is it weird? Coming back as a girl?
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/31/2007 17:13:57  

*laughs* Okay. Fair enough.

*looks over the menu for something suitably chocolatey in lieu of vodka* Not really. It's weirder to think it should feel weird, if that makes sense. I remember being a guy but this doesn't feel any more or less right. *shrugs* Just different.
From: [info] Date: 08/31/2007 17:24:31  

Guess that's why you didn't have your memories straightaway? So you could get used to being a girl?

Ooh, Death By Chocolate. I think I'll be having one of those.
From: [info]arakano Date: 08/31/2007 17:29:02  

I have no idea but send that line up to the guy in charge. It's much better PR than most of the other theories.

Ooh, yes, please. *puts in the order for two* *a bit wistfully* Though that's at least an extra hour on the treadmill, I suppose.
From: [info] Date: 09/01/2007 11:33:08  

*grins* I took a Media course last year. Guess something must have stuck. And the guy's TA was soooo hot.

*brightly* Oh, I hate treadmills and gyms and stuff. I definitely prefer to go running outside. *smiles suddenly* Oh, wow, I can't believe we're roomies. That is so cool.
From: [info]arakano Date: 09/01/2007 14:22:27  

*bouncily* I know, isn't it just the best?? I know all the best clubs and pubs and, well, everything around here, really, so just stick with me. And I want to do all the clichéd stuff like cheerleading and sororities so you have to do it with me.
From: [info] Date: 09/01/2007 15:07:37  

Cheerleading? I've spent so long poking fun at them? How will I live with myself? *laughs*

*gives the waiter a flirty smile when the Deaths by Chocolate? Death by Chocolates? arrive*
From: [info]arakano Date: 09/01/2007 15:27:10  

Look at it this way. We can still make fun of the stupid ones and they won't even know we're doing it.

*glances briefly at the waiter as he moves on to another table* He is so totally checking you out. Don't look.
From: [info] Date: 09/01/2007 19:29:40  

Ooh, bringing them down from the inside. I like it.

*plays with her napkin and looks at you* Really. He is, like, really cute? For a waiter?
From: [info]arakano Date: 09/01/2007 20:51:29  

Yeah, he is. You should leave him your number. *sneaks another peek and snickers behind her hand* He's still looking.
From: [info] Date: 09/02/2007 08:20:45  

*tosses her hair over her shoulder, looking supremely unconcerned* I so will.

*tucks into her Death By Chcolate, delicately* I'm supposed to be starting Linguistics tomorrow? But there's no Prof yet which is kinda weird. 'parently the TA has already been appointed, though.
From: [info]arakano Date: 09/02/2007 08:28:23  

'parently the TA has already been appointed, though.

*arches an eyebrow* Oh? I know somebody studying Linguistics here but I could never touch the stuff. Stuff gives me a migraine.
From: [info] Date: 09/02/2007 08:51:22  

Whereas I'm just taking that physics course to meet my science requirements. I'm sure I'll flunk it.
From: [info]arakano Date: 09/02/2007 08:54:17  

*breezily* With me around to help you? Not a chance.
