Room 512, after classes

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke was not very good in a crisis. Radio might have made that evident. After French class she headed straight back to her room, trying to distract herself over a sewing machine to put together a few of her designs. This actually did work, at least until she heard a noise and about jumped out of her skin. And there was a lot of frustrated mess-ups and muttered curses that followed, so all in all Brooke was having a fun time.

And not going outside for any town meetings. If there was a marning to be careful in going into town, she wasn't going into town.

[Door's closed, post is open.]

Savannah was in the dorms because she made a promise. However, she was checking on people important to her. Brooke was now on that list. Therefore she was knocking on the door of her co-cheerleader to make sure she was still here and safe.

[gobrookeyourself]

After doing the jumping-out-of-her-skin thing again, Brooke, who was clearly operating logically, started looking around for something to use as a weapon before going anywhere near the door. All she could find was a shoe, though at least they were pointy-toed.

She went to the door, hand on the knob, and called, "Who is it?" Because a statue wouldn't answer, you see. And were easily defeated by shoes.

Savannah was cautious because she didn't know what could be going on behind that door or if Brooke was being held hostage by an angel.

Hey, it was a completely logical thought considering these things could kidnap people into the past.

"Savannah."

[gobrookeyourself]

Okay, good start. The followup question was, "Are you alone?"

Wow, Brooke.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah was tense. "Yeah... it's just harmless little me."

Uh huh. She was preparing a spell in case Brooke was in trouble.

"Are you?"

Because an evil angel couldn't lie, Savannah?

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke looked over her shoulder, just in case. "So far..."

She opened the door just enough to poke her head out, looking either way to make sure there was no one down the hall that might be coming to send anyone into the past.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

The only one in the hall was a freaked-out worried-looking Savannah.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Oh, good," she said, opening the door all the way and lowering the shoe. "A little jumpy here."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Me, too. I wanted to make sure you were okay." She frowned. "Well as okay as one can be with evil angels after people here."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I made it back from the radio station, so I'm okay for now," she said, and looked down the hall again, because now that the door was open, she wasn't sure she could stop checking. "You're obviously in one piece. You know, in the present day."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she had heard the broadcast and it was one of the reasons she had wanted to check on her.

"Yeah. Present day and in one piece." She tried a smile. "I have to get back before Johnny freaks out that I'm missing as he's a little... tense about this whole thing, but if you need help or anything, call us, okay? Or come down or whatever. Johnny can set them on fire and keep stuff away."

She kept looking over her shoulder, too.

[gobrookeyourself]

"As a general rule I stay away from anyone would could possibly set me on fire without that Katara girl around," she said, "but if anything even remotely threatening comes by, I might be fleeing your way."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah nodded. "217. And you're welcome to do so." Then she managed to grin. "Besides, we have to get though this in one piece and win against these angels or statues or whatever they are. We have events and competitions to plan."

When worried or in doubt, think of something else.

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke bit her lip, nodding. "Exactly. Eyes on the prize and all, and I don't want to have to show any cheers to people in like 1893 or something."

Every time she spoke, the year went farther and farther back.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"We won't have to, Brooke. This is Fandom and we always get our people back safely no matter what tries to take them or us. Fandom fights for each other.. and then we celebrate." She gave her a serious look. "And you will not disappear to 1893, either."

Savannah believed this very strongly. After all she and her mother, as well as her two adopted brothers were witches. She wouldn't let Brooke disappear, too.

[gobrookeyourself]

"Thanks, Savannah," she said with a little smile. "Okay, so, looking forward to the celebration then. Easy enough."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome and stay safe, Brooke. We'll get our people back and teach these things why you don't kidnap us --- and you really shouldn't kidnap our cheerleaders like they did Lana." She nodded. "Then we have a big celebration."

[gobrookeyourself]

She was really more the party-planning type than the rescuer type, so she knew what part she was going to concentrate on as a "lalalala everything's fine here" gesture. "Yeah, definitely with the staying safe," she said, holding up her shoe weapon like that was proof or something. "You too."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah nodded. "I'll do my best. Need help or safety, you know where to find me." She smiled. "Big party after this is over."

[gobrookeyourself]

"I'm there," Brooke promised, with more of a smile.

Peter had heard radio last night and decided to see how Brooke was doing. He knocked on her door.

[gobrookeyourself]

And that was Brooke jumping and scrambling to her knees to look for the shoe under her bed again. "Who is it?" she called.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Peter," Peter replied. "Are you okay?"

[gobrookeyourself]

"Uh huh!" Even if she couldn't find her shoe. "No statues out there with you are, there?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter looked around to double check. "Nope. Just me."
