Welcome to Gaia! ::

Billy Roadinger wasn't someone Aggie knew well. They shared a few of the same classes, but beyond seeing him around in classrooms and passing by in the hall, they'd never really talked.

This was going to change. Because today, today Aggie was on a mission: Operation Make a New Friend, and he was the intended target.
Well, 'intended' might have been stretching it a bit - truthfully she was just walking by and saw him through an open doorway. Score! Target lock-on achieved, please move to phase 2.

She'd been wandering the school, still somewhat dreamy from actually having a boyfriend and had taken the opportunity to refine her map of the school. She'd had to make one herself, since the school administration still seemed to be procastinating on making one available to the general public, and it probably wasn't as good as it could've been (or even very legible), but she could understand what the different scribbles meant and since she was the only one who was going to read the thing, that was good enough for her.

Still, there were always a few problems, areas and rooms whose purpose she couldn't mark because it was either locked or occupied by someone who probably didn't want to be disturbed. Which was why she was here, to see if someone had finally vacated one of the rooms in question - obviously not, but the door was open and a girl on a mission could easily interprete that as an open invitation.

So she did. "Hi! You're like, Billy, right? I've totally seen you around in class before." Her best smile on, her homemade map clutched in one hand and the other raised in a jovial greeting, it never even occurred to Aggie that someone might not want random strangers to just come into the room and be, well, random.

"Umh, not really. I was just passing by and wanted to say 'hi', you know?" Okay, he obviously wasn't as enthusiastic in his greetings as she was. Fine, that was totally fine too! Some people you just needed to get talking before they started warming up to you! (Or at least she'd read that in one of the rare self-help books she'd checked out of the library on occassion.)

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you looked at it) Aggie was more than willing to provide any enthusiasm, warmth or interest needed to keep a conversation going. This was a Mission. She would not, could not, fail it. Because that'd just suck majorly.

"Aggie! Don't worry about it, I don't say a lot in class so there's not a lot of people who know my name. And my real name is stodgy, seriously, who names their kid Dagmar? Aggie is much easier to remember. Uh." She looked momentarily embarrassed by her little rant before moving on. "What were you doing in here?"

"Ugh yeah, it gets really cold around here sometimes." She shuddered at the thought of the cold winternights to come - hopefully it'd at least snow, so they had something to look at. "But it can be really pretty too, at times. When the trees are snowy and no-one's been out to have snowball fights yet and the snow blanket is totally undisturbed."

She sighed somewhat wistfully, "But I doubt we'll be able to go out and enjoy it this year, with all the bacterial meningitis going around. You get it from infections that go wrong, right? And the cold probably isn't good for that."

"Really? Anywhere in particular? Because too much warmth would be just as bad as the cold, I think." Aggie was blissfully unaware of anything suspicious going on in the school; people had been acting odd, but that was to be expected with so much death going around. And the rumours going around about how the bodies had looked when they'd been found.. well, they were just rumours, right?

"You don't like Barren Pines?" Aggie had found herself thriving here, making friends (and a boyfriend, even!) like never before. That someone might not feel the same way as she did was mindboggling. "Like, seriously? I mean, tropical islands are nice, of course, but you gotta graduate first and stuff."

Though running away and moving to a remote island did have a certain flair to it.

"Oh, you went somewhere else before?" Wow, she'd never even known that! Needless to say, Aggie didn't know. She probably wouldn't have been half as enthusiastic if she did (but then again, you never quite knew with Aggie). "I've always gone here. Well, since I was old enough, duh. Where did you go before you came here?"
