[Today's post is school-related, for the most part. But instead of being terrible news like it usually is, Laura's been coaxed by Linda the Caseworker to reveal the fruits of their labor (or really, Linda picking up a lot of assignments and making sure Laura does them when she's not at school...). Laura carefully pins a piece of paper to the fridge of Communal Floor 10 with a magnet, which the camera will point to in just a moment—
SURPRISE BITCH]
[After a moment:]
Linda said I should tell people. So I have told people.
I did — well on my grades this quarter.
[She didn't particularly see the big deal; it's not that hard to do the work assignments when your caseworker keeps bringing all the stuff to you... and the tests are much easier when you've got a good eye and memory. Another beat, and this she seems more uncertain and perhaps even sheepish about, in her own way:]
I also wanted to tell any of the other kids here... if you want somewhere to hang out, I have a — new place, just for kids only. Let me know if you would like to come in, and I'll give you directions, or take you there. We have 'video-games' there, and I like them a lot. Especially Pac-Man. And comic books, and candy, and soda... Things like that. It could be... fun.
[OOC: There might be a log later this month for the kid hang-out! If you want to hit that later just let her know you're interested in hanging out there, and you'll be good to go. If you have anything you have in mind that doesn't fit the bill here, just hit me up at simpledog at plurk! Also, feel free to run into her on floor 10 of the community building. ♥]

[No need to ask if it was because Laura was on the road a lot, or other things. Rey wasn't one to pry...but if they actually talked to one another, they would see how much they had in common.]
Have you eaten all the muffins from our last trip?
no subject
[She doesn't beat around the bush, those muffins were annihilated.]
Dr. Strange tries to change my diet often.
He thinks I eat badly.
no subject
Good, at least they didn't go to waste.
I haven't met Dr. Strange yet, but...I do know you need to be careful with what you eat. You don't want to get sick.
no subject
I think I would heal from anything food can do to me.
no subject
Besides, being sick isn't fun. I'd imagine you might find staying still and laying in bed boring, I know I did.
