[action, cafeteria]

[wills]

Just like always. [It's a phrase that has been getting her through the entire week. And it's close to the truth. The jell-o (or she thinks it's jell-o) quivers and slips off her fork just the same. The same weird be-speckled tile lines the floor of the cafeteria. The same hard, vaguely uncomfortable chairs. Even the textbooks piled on the table look about what she'd expect from the schools she'd been looking at prior to... ending up here. Expect for the parts where there's Para-Magic involved.

That was different.]

Jell-O's still watered down, though.

[Slouching back in her chair, Willow picks at the corner of one of the books before turning her attention back to the wriggling, vibrant green cube accompanying a largely average dinner. Sh kicks the empty chair across from her.]

I still think it could be poisoned. [Damian was going to head back to his dorm after dinner - and skip class like usual - but the sight of someone poking her jell-o (or whatever it was) distracted him.]

You never know in a place like this.

[wills]

It'd probably explain the color, huh? [She smirks, because he's clearly kidding, right?]

But, nah, they'd never go for something as obvious as the Jell-O.

[He's... half-kidding?] Oh? Then what do you think they'd go for? [goes ahead and sits in a nearby chair] The ice cream?

[wills]

They'd definitely get more people that way. [She sits up a little straighter, not inclined to invade personal space.] But, no, if I think if they were going to poison something it's be something no one doesn't take. Like the main course or the drinks or something. I mean, you'd think ice cream was a no-brainer but there's always someone who's lactose intolerant. And they can't have witnesses.

You didn't know? That's when they get ninjas - or assassins - and kill off the rest. No survivors that way. [Oddly enough, he looks dead serious... almost as if that actually happened to him.]

Don't think it'll happen here. I haven't seen someone shifty - or stupid - enough to try.

[wills]

[The serious note gives her pause, draws her eyebrows up. He can't be. Can he?]

What do you mean too stupid?

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

As in, someone who's stupid enough to actually think that'll work. [laughs] ... You really think people could get away with that?

That's what superheroes're for.

[wills]

[She tilts her head to the side. Incredulous.] Superheroes? You mean like spandex-and-capes superheroes. They're going to save us from the cafeteria food.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Not cafeteria food. From this world. I know Batman - and maybe the Justice League - can do it. [whyyyyy does this girl distrust him so much? Is she a non-believer in superheroes too?]
