Room 232, Wednesday afternoon

Lola was bored. Bored enough, in fact, to end up calling her mom, just to talk.

"//. . . No, Mom, it's fine, I'm -- I didn't run away, I went to school. . . . No, Mom, I -- No, Mom -- You don't -- you and Papa -- are you drink -- no, of course not -- that's not how it -- will you just -- don't -- Mom . . . Mom. . . . Mom. . . . just --" It wasn't going well. "HALT DIE KLAPPE!!"

Her voice hit a particularly piercing, high note on the last short "e" of the conversation as Lola let her frustration take over. Fortunately, the damage seemed to limit itself to just the glass in her framed picture of her parents shattering.

And, you know, possibly her mother's ear drum.

She hung up and pitched the phone across the room. Great, now she was bored and angry.

[ooc: door and post are open.]

Jack had heard something as he was walking to his room and decided to investigate. "Uh. Hello?"

Just ignore the fact that he was holding a drink cup as an offensive weapon.

Lola looked up from where she was sulking lounging on her bed. "Was?"

"...I heard a noise?" Okay, he's putting the drink down slowly, no one needs to get hurt. "You okay? Something attack you?"

Lola snorted. "Nein. I was speaking to my mother."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh." Right. "Okay. Sorry to barge in. You... you okay?"

He was not staring at her hair. Really.

Lola shrugged. "I'm fine. I'm remembering why I left home." She sighed, puffing a strand of red hair off her forehead and then looked at him. "I'm Lola. You?"

"Hey, Lola," Jamie said wandering by sometime after Jack had left. "What"s going on?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Jack. Burton. I like the hair," he said, grinning and totally not looking like an idiot who would brandish a drink cup. Really.

"Problems at home?" he asked, leaning against the door frame.
unddann: (am I done yet?)

Lola was in the process of replacing the glass in her picture frame with cling wrap.

"Jaime. There's nothing going on. You?"
unddann: (oh hey)

[personal profile] unddann 2008-09-10 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course there is problems at home. I'm a teenager, and they are parents. That's how it goes, ja?"

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bored," he said with a shrug. "Thought I'd wander and see what trouble I could stir up. Are you planning on saving that picture for a meal later?"
unddann: (relief)

[personal profile] unddann 2008-09-10 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Lola wrinkled her nose. "It's high in fiber." She shook her head, then pitched the picture in the same direction the phone had gone in. "It broke. I thought maybe to fix it. Dumb, eh?"

"Sure is," he said. Not that he'd know much, since it was just him and his dad, but still. "But that's why they make boarding schools," he said, waving his arms to indicate Fandom.

[personal profile] unddann 2008-09-10 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is that why you come to boarding school?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not really. My dad travels a lot, and he figured this would be better than coming home to an empty house all the time." Or dealing with one of dad's "girlfriends" looking for money.

"It works out."

Lola snorted. "Typical. Are fathers ever at home?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not really." Especially when they're on a cattle run across nine states or delivering whatever to Florida. "What's your dad do?"
unddann: (the hair)

[personal profile] unddann 2008-09-10 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"He's a banker. Money is all and all is money. Dummkopf."

Tosh was about to head into her own room when she noticed the door across the hall was open.

"Hello," she said politely when she spotted Lola.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh. My dad drives a truck, so he's only home... about a week every month. If that." He lightly kicked the doorjamb. "He's not rich, though. We get by."
unddann: (hair in her face)

[personal profile] unddann 2008-09-10 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Lola looked up and waved. "Guten Tag."
unddann: (relief)

[personal profile] unddann 2008-09-10 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Lola snorted. "If my father is rich, he doesn't share it, much. Your father, he has a good reason not to be home, though. His work is all over."

[identity profile] techno-tosh.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm Tosh," she told her. "I live right across the hall in 231. Thought I'd introduce myself."
unddann: (reflection)

[personal profile] unddann 2008-09-10 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Lola," said Lola. "Your accent . . . you're not from here, too."

[identity profile] techno-tosh.livejournal.com 2008-09-10 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"No I'm not," Tosh confirmed. "I'm from London. You're German?"
