Oh look, there were tables and chairs over here too, away from all the informational stuff. Enjoy the food!

[WAIT FOR THE OCD PLEASE. OCD IS UP. This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are here and there is more room for mingling here.]

"Well you'll still won't find another school like this," Jamie said with a shrug. "Besides you get to treat yourself to handsome guys who regularly take off their shirts."

Temari gave him another slow look up and down. "...I can handle that."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie grinned. "So tell me, Temari, where do you come from?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"The Wind Country." She tapped her forehead protector. "Sunagakure."

A beat.

"Should I assume you've also never heard of it?"

"You'd be right," Jamie admitted. "Sorry. I assume that someone has told you about the whole different worlds coming here for an education thing?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Different worlds?" That was new. "I was only told there were people from very long distances away."

"Well that's one way of putting it," Jamie said. "For instance I'm originally from a place called Kansas and my world has a race of people called mutants who have several different abilities. Other people around here also have a place called Kansas but no mutants. This school seems to attract a lot of students from different places."

Jamie shrugged and then grinned. "It's part of what makes this place so much fun."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

"Mutants?" Temari asked idly. "We have some like that where I'm from."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Are they the kind that look like humans with cool powers?" Jamie asked. "Or are they the scary kind that you find in bad horror movies?"

She still remembered Gaara at his worst. And then him again protecting them all. "Both."

"We have a similar situation, to be honest," Jamie admitted. "So what do you think of Fandom so far? Besides the shirtlessness."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

"I think my roommate is made of stone," Temari said dryly. "Literally."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie blinked.

"His name wouldn't be 'Ben' would it?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Gladys." A beat. "I think it's female."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Gladys?" Jamie asked. "I think she used to work at the post office."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"She did mention that she'd been here before," Temari admitted.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"See?" Jamie said. "C'mon. A stone roommate. You can't get that anywhere else. Don't you love the wacky?"

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Temari just eyed him for a moment, shaking her head.

"I assumed she was a puppet."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"You really think that a giant stone thing that walks around is a puppet?" Jamie asked. "Because honestly I think she has more in common with a cement mixer."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Cement mixer?" There were many technological advances in her world, but that-- sadly for the people who built the hidden villages-- was not among them.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Um. It's a thing that mixes gravel and stuff that when it dries turns into stone," Jamie tried to explain. "See? Something you didn't know about. And cement can be awesome!"

...

"Okay. Sorry. Cement really can't be awesome."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Good try though." Temari gave him an amused look. "I know what cement is, we just mix it by hand back home."

Or use jutsus to just build things from sand and stone.

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Ah," Jamie said in understanding. "And is home this world? Or someplace completely different."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Someplace else, I gather," Temari said with a sigh. "I've seen one person from my there, but she seems... much younger than I last saw."

Re: General Mingling (Summer 2008)

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jamie said sympathetically. "You get that a lot here. A friend of mine who left last year just showed up like... ten or twelve years older. He's a teacher now."
