I Don't Know Where I'm Going...

Located directly adjacent to the Rec Center is the Student Union building, housing a well-stocked bar and arcade, billiards and an open area with couches and coffee tables.

I Don't Know Where I'm Going...

Postby Shari » Tue Feb 07, 2017 6:21 am

Shari, now sans bear-arms but wearing her jacket, has dragged Alex across the grounds towards the first building that looked interesting. It's not that she's intending to dictate their direction, but it just kind of happens when you're the one leading the charge. "Hey, what's Student Union mean?" she asks, half-skipping backwards as she turns around to face Alex.

"Like...a labor union? For students?" Alex speculates.

"For going on strikes. Nice." she grins. Shari has no idea how colleges work, so for all she knows this makes perfect sense.

"Can students go on strikes?" Alex says. "I've never heard about anything like that before."

So, yeah. This was the blind leading the blind.

"If they do then we should find out a-sapp." she says and heads for the doors. She stops just past the doors, looking at the open space of couches and cafe tables that make up the center court with doors to the pub and bowling alley and such spaced out along the walls.

"No kidding... Good place to strike though!" she laughs and throws herself onto one of the couches, legs dangling over the arm-rest.

"Not bad!" she decides, staring at the ceiling.

Alex sits meekly on the couch across from her. "It's not bad," she agrees.

"Am I the only one who finds this place ridiculous? Look at this! They got a billiard table! You know how to play?" she asks, sitting back up.

"Exactly." she says, wandering over to the table and grabbing the triangle full of balls, sliding it around on the table for a bit before giving it a spin and just letting it come to rest at random on the green felt. She takes the triangle off and whips it around her finger as she leans against the table how she imagines a professional pool shark does. It's pretty ridiculous and the randomly placed set of balls doesn't help her look any more convincing.

"Sure, why not? That way it's trickier to smack the white one into them and get 'em in the holes." she says, picking up the white ball and just kind of sliding throwing/sliding it across the felt as if it was an airhockey table. It clanks into a couple of balls but ultimately accomplishes nothing. "Except, you know, aimed better."

"Oh, um..." Alex tries to roll it gently.

She really does try.

There's a loud CRACK as the white hits one of the stripes and launches it over the lip of the billard table.

"Ohmygosh!"

"Whoa!" Shari laughs, trying (and failing) to catch the ball getting launched off the table. "Dang, I forgot about that... My bad." she says as the ball continues to roll away from them.

Alex doesn't put up a struggle as she's dragged to the ocean.

"Kind of creepy looking," Alex says, looking out at all the water.

"Really? I mean it's just water..." she says, looking out over the blue-grey expanse and the mix of patterns from the wind and the waves from the top of the cliff. "Looks like hypothermia though."

"Flat," Alex says. She picks up a rock from the beach. She tosses it sort of weakly and it lands in the water with a small splash.

"...Maybe," Alex looks around at the ground. Finding a rock about the size of her fist, she picks it up with one hand and closes her eyes.

After a moment, she pulls back and then let's it fly. She pitches the rock high into the air and it takes a good few seconds before far off in the distance it lands with a splash.

"Then let's try a bigger rock! That's probably better than throwing cars anyway." she winks at Alex. "How about this one?" she asks, pointing at a chunk of stone that's easily two feet thick.

"Umm, I can try?" Alex says. She walks over to the rock and takes a deep breath. She grabs the rock with both hands and after a brief moment of hesitation, manages to heft it over her her head.

Alex's feet lift off the ground slightly as she leans back and throws the rock with all her strength. It manages to fly quite a ways out before landing into the water with a loud splash.

Alex laughs, "Hold on, let me try something."

Alex finds another large rock and, while still hovering in mid-air, grabs hold and hefts it above her head. She flies a good five or ten meters in the air and chucks the rock directly down into the water as hard as she can.
