Venice Beach, LA, CA, Sunday

[solarhippie]

There were ways in which it was great to be home in LA.

And then there was having six teenagers and a dinosaur all cramped together in a ship that didn't so much fly as jump. Not that they'd been doing that much since last night: they'd parked the Leapfrog – cloaked, of course – on Venice Beach, and there they were still, even after a night of fitful sleep.

It was a new day. They'd probably have to figure out breakfast at some point.

Not to mention some other, bigger things.

"Anyone wanna play cards with me?" Molly asked. "... Did anyone bring cards?"

[ooc: NFB, and for the guy who is here.]

"I can vouch for her," Jim said, glancing over at Karolina. "It's not too good to be true. There's a lot of freedom. No one's mistreated. I promise."

"And you won't live with us?" Molly asked. Only pushing her bottom lip out a little bit. Still enough for Karolina to frown.

"Not all the time," she said. "But I'll come back a lot, I promise."

Chase shrugged. "Hey, if she has a choice, let her. Being cramped in the 'Frog wouldn't be my first choice, either."

"And I think you guys could probably come visit too," Jim said carefully. "I mean, I think it'd be safe. You know, when you guys get a little more settled or something."

"Yeah," said Karolina, nodding, if cautiously. They might have to run interference between the two Gertrudes, but still. "That could be nice."

Nico sighed. "So when are you planning to leave?"

Karolina glanced over at Jim. "Probably later today? I, um... I have class pretty early tomorrow."

That felt like a mildly embarrassing thing to say to a bunch of people intending to be free of authority figures bossing them around.

"Nerd," Jim said with a chuckle. "But yeah, should probably get back before classes and all. Wouldn't wanna miss anything stimulating."

Karolina quirked a smile at him that was almost a little grateful. Then she turned to teh others again. "But we'll still be around for a while."

"Long enough to find some Lucky Charms, at least," Jim quipped. "Because now I'm craving them."

"But you'll have to share!" Molly declared. "Or you'll have to fight me for them."

Karolina chuckled a bit, and ruffled Molly's hair.

Maybe they'd be okay.
