J,GOB, Wednesday afternoon

Rosa had an appointment on the island to look at an apartment she'd found advertised on Craig's List, but the less time she spent in the MICA dorms with her perpetually stoned roommate, the better. So she got to the island a bit early, figuring she could get the lay of the land and figure out if it was actually a place she thought she could live.

It looked, to her admittedly limited experience, very European. And there was art everywhere. She'd spotted at least a few murals graffiti-ed onto buildings as she walked in from the causeway, and while there were two bars (one for locals, one for tourists, she assumed, or maybe one was LGBT and the other was for the straights?), there were also plenty of places to eat or grab a snack that didn't look like they catered too much to the drugs-and-booze crowd.

So, you know, her sponsor would approve, at least.

She decided to grab a seat in the little bakery she found, tucked in by the window where she could people-watch as she picked apart her cinnamon strudel muffin. And try once again to google "Baltimore neighborhoods Fandom" and find out a little more about this weird little place she was looking to move to.

[HELLO A NEWBIE IS IN TOWN! Considering the number of graffiti artists we've had on the island already, I figure there should be at least a few murals for my little graffiti artist to be impressed by.

So very open!]

Miguel had dropped by the Perk for coffee, but face it, the croissants were better at J,GoB, so here he was, picking up some for breakfast tomorrow. Maybe he'd try a few recipes, too.

He did a brief double-take. "Hey, new face." He nodded to her. "You visiting someone, or moving in?"

"Town's that small," he agreed. "Miguel," he introduced himself. "I work at the diner and teach sometimes. I make a mean cup of coffee."

"Huh. Didn't realize it was up for rent." Guess Duke spent all his time on his boat anyway. "Yeah, I like it. Fair warning, we cook all kinds of food there, so you might get the smells, but I'm pretty sure it's never bad. Don't know how much noise carries up, but hey - if it wakes you up in the morning, the coffee's right there. I'll even spot you a cup on Saturdays."

Miguel laughed. "Uh-oh. My girlfriend's named Rosa, too. Expect her to be annoyed, but she's out of town right now. What's Crash Con?"

"Depends what kind of mood she's in," Miguel said.

He took a second to place "Roswell" and "Crash" with "conspiracy theorists" and realize what she meant.

"Aliens actually real in your world, or not?"
what_the_shock: (thinking outside)

"I guess?" Miguel shrugged. "Some places have them, some don't. As far as I know, there's no aliens where I'm from, but...wait, did you know about the whole multiversal hub thing yet?"

"Right, so Fandom pulls in people from all kinds of worlds - different versions of Earth, different planets, different dimensions," Miguel explained. "My girlfriend's from early twenty-first century Earth, I'm from early twenty-second. It's 2021 now; not sure what it is where you're from. There's people from hundreds of years ago, one giant shark-looking guy from a place called Hyrule, a bunch of people from another galaxy.

"You think I'm insane yet, or should I keep going?"

Speaking of aliens…Rosa totally wanted to meet one straight away right?

After getting back from the field trip and her classes done for the day, Alara decided to stop by the bakery and get a pastry.

“Good afternoon,” she nodded at Rosa once she had her pastry and made her way towards the tables.

Alara returned the wave, “not to bad, the hot cocoa being in the pipes in the dorms is taking some getting used to,” she admitted since she had not been around much last year when all of this had been happening, “I’m Alara,” she offered, “Alara Kitan, I’m a student at the school,”

“Fandom High,” she nodded, “classes are taught up at the castle,” she explained and paused, “I’m not familiar with those schools,” she admitted.

“I’m still familiarising with a lot of Earth places,” Alara admitted, in case there had been any doubt that she wasn’t from here “the places here are rather fascinating,” she said.

“No?” Alara blinked, “um…I’ve never heard of Roswell?” she tried, she was still trying to catch up on popular culture as well.

“No..” Alara admittedly hadn’t had that reaction before, “I’m from a planet called Xelaya in the 25th century,”

Maybe you should have asked what year she was from first before springing the future part on her Alara.
