Subject: Just a quick hello!

No pictures this time, sorry boys.

First week of classes went well. I like all my professors and the classes seem like they'll be interesting. I joined the newspaper staff as a photographer and so far no one has asked me to solve any cases. I'm trying to decide if I should get a job at the local coffee shop or if I should do freelance photography for the local paper. Luckily I managed to save a decent amount between teaching and working at Caritas this summer.

My roommate is pretty cool. Her dad is some sort of government agent and she's been kidnapped a few times, so we've bonded over that. She dragged me out on a double date with a couple of frat boys the other night. It wasn't too bad. It's been a while since I was on a date with a relative stranger. I'm fighting the urge to run a background check if he asks me out again.

I hope you're all well. Has there been an invasion yet? Write me back, I miss you all!

Love, V


[ooc: same deal as last time; if you think she'd have sent it to you, she did!]

You and Archie agreed to see other people?

Nope. It's boring here.

Just tell her the truth? That you recently went through a breakup and you're not ready?

You both deserve to be happy. I'm sorry it couldn't be with each other.

Do you think there's a way to email ice cream?

I vote for the photography. Way more interesting.

You can't just find a normal roommate can you?

Isn't a date with a stranger awkward whether you've done it recently or not? Caritas has some event like that soon. Sounds uncomfortable to me.

>Has there been an invasion yet?

AOL tried to kill me in class today. I don't think that counts as an invasion though.

I never said it was a bad thing, and would you call having roommates who all come from different dimensions normal?

I meet people! Sometimes. I'm making an effort to get out more, I swear.

I'm glad you're liking all of your professors, V. That usually helps a lot with the whole teacher/student good relations thing. Classes started here and so far they're not half as scary as they were last year.

Do photography. It's something that you love and that you're great at.

Huh. It sounds like she would have been right at home here in Fandom.

*snerk* I'd go with that urge to do the background check. You never know who you might end up with.

I'm well. There hasn't been an invasion yet... but with some of the teachers here, you never know what might happen.

Hey V,

I shouldn't be allowed to drink and talk to cute people, as usual. That's not really news, just thought to reiterate that.

No! I so did not do anyone. There was just a misunderstanding. That neither me nor Agnes understood.

But did end with her needing to tell me she doesn't like girls in that way.

As for interesting new kids, there's Agnes, she's a witch, but not like Piper and Phoebe. Then there's Ray who's... Ray. And Door, who's really nice and apparently from someplace kinda rough, I think. And Pete. Who will probably be the first victim of that tazer you gave me.

Definitely have to visit you, yeah.

Glad you're settling in okay. You wouldn't believe how dull this place has gotten. I think you guys took all the drama with you. Three weekends and counting for no bizarreness. Did you hide it in your camera bag?

Heh, on your roommate. Did you ever think you might be a weirdness magnet? Just a little?

And go ahead, run the background check. You know it'll make you feel better.

Cal's in L.A. with Angel, working there. Xander is... incommunicado. And there's a whole huge other deal, that's Rory's to tell, I think.

Zero's band is about to be the next great East Coast thing. I'll send you a flier, as soon as it's up and running.

Any chance you have an e-mail for Archie?

At this point? I'd welcome it. I'm not running for StuCo, I cut back on other stuff-- this place needs a little shaking up.

>>And go ahead, run the background check. You know it'll make you feel better.

Better safe than having to explain Tazer abuse to the nice officers. Then again, you can always just leave them there, twitching...

I think I'm glad they're not in my dimension either, though Logan will have to be back in yours next week-- court date for the estate. Hopefully he'll stop by and say hi. And... yeah. I think it's a monumentally stupid idea, but what why would Captain Blockhead listen to me?

>>Xander is... incommunicado.
>Eep! Is that why my emails to him keep bouncing?

Yup. Bridge says his dimension won't be getting e-mail for-- well, several years. Or phone messages. It sucks. I'm writing him anyway, just on the off-chance something gets through.

>>And there's a whole huge other deal, that's Rory's to tell, I think.
>Cam told me. How's she holding up?

Stoic, from what I've seen. We haven't really talked about it, but she's obviously hurting. I think she's taken Luke on as an unofficial Little Brother, from stuff he's said. Maybe that helps, I hope.

Hey Veronica,

Sorry I didn't drop you a line after your last note. Things have been crazy busy here. Good crazy busy, but still.

Good luck with all the photography stuff.

Sorry about Archie. I'm guessing if you can only pass on messages on occasion that he's not there with you. I'm really sorry to hear that. And the whole, sometimes you can be in touch, sometimes not? Totally sucks. And I speak as one who's been doing that since February.

But it gets easier. And good for you going out on a double date! Though, yeah, given the whole agent/kidnapped thing, you might want to check out anyone your roommate fixes you up with.

I actually met someone. A really nice someone. Things seem to be going really well. It would be nice to catch a break, you know?

Anyway, glad to hear from you. I miss you.
