Room 512, Saturday morning

[gobrookeyourself]

The fact that Brooke didn't go out on her first night in a new town only to wake up nice and hungover meant that she was up surprisingly early on Saturday morning. Surprisingly early for her, at least. And she kind of spent some time rationalizing that she had met plenty of people yesterday, and she didn't want to... something or other. She was bad at rationalizing anyway. She'd just wanted to babble at Peyton for a few hours, especially given the whole Lucas situation. There were no words for that sort of weird.

While she was definitely coming up with things to get up to today, she really had to get her room in order. She'd unpacked yesterday, but today she decided to spend some time getting out her pictures to stick back up on her wall. Just to make things feel a little more like home.

...Okay, make it feel like the home that wasn't new and tiny and in the wrong state and still being unpacked that she had hardly even seen yet.


[Will be a linkdrop. Post is open, so's the door. Please, like anyone on OTH ever closed their doors.
ETA: Subject to SP as I have to go out for a bit.]

Michael has already claimed one of the beds, and is half-asleep in it with a book in his hand.

While looking over her shoulder to grab another one of the pictures on her bed, she glanced over, greeting him with, "Morning, Sunshine."

[Headed out for a bit, will be back!]

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

He blinked over at her, then roused himself a bit more.

"Morning. You've got... a lot of stuff."

He doesn't.

"Not nearly as much as I used to, unfortunately, but that's for another Oprah," she said. "Hope you don't mind having to look at my friends on the wall all the time, but at least they're hot."

"I can live with it", he assured her, sitting up a bit. "Might even put up a picture too."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Singular?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

He shrugged, gesturing to his half of the room.

"Don't have that many people worth it back home."

[gobrookeyourself]

"But still, there should be like multiple pictures of the ones who are," she said, not really getting why there wouldn't be. Then again, her side of the room was already proof why.

"I guess. Maybe there will be, some."

He stretches over to his bedside drawer and pulls out a packet of said photos.

[gobrookeyourself]

"'I guess', 'maybe' and 'some'. That's an improvement, I'll take it," Brooke said, picking up the last of the pictures that weren't going up quite yet so that she could sit on her own bed.

He started idly laying out the photos on his bed. The same two faces showed up in almost all of them.

"So where're you from?" he asked eventually.

[gobrookeyourself]

"It's called Tree Hill, in North Carolina," she said, sitting cross-legged. "So not too much of a culture shock yet. What about you?"

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

"Roswell, New Mexico. Not as exciting as you'd think."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Roswell," Brooke repeated. "That's the places with the aliens and the...?" She made a motion with her hands that might have resembled something crashing if she wasn't being vague about it.

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

"That's the legend", he said with a shrug. "More of a tourist trap than anything."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Eh. I'll pass," she decided. "I bet that makes it all overly expensive, too, because people will pay for it. I'll hit up Cabo instead."

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

"Good idea", he agreed. "Probably more fun there."

[gobrookeyourself]

"Scenery's pretty nice, too," said Brooke, whose idea of scenery was different than a lot of people's.

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

"...sure, if you like desert", he said, looking at her vaguely askance.

[gobrookeyourself]

"That kind of scenery, too," she nodded.

[rebelheartalien.livejournal.com]

"I guess. All looks the same, though."
