Room 313- Wednesday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina hated not being a student. Hated it. She had no classes, nothing to really do until work on Saturday, and she was going stir crazy. There had already been several calls home demanding to put on some assignment somewhere, but that hadn't gone anywhere yet. Which was frustrating, to say the least.

Finally annoyed enough to go down to the gym for a second training session today, she dressed in loose workout clothes and pulled her hair back and started to the door-

And couldn't get any further.

The door was open, she could see into the hall, it was just that trying to pass through the doorway had about as much effect as walking through the wall itself. After a few tries to get through, Jaina finally sighed and stepped back, wondering what to do now. Seriously, could you call the janitor for this kind of problem?


[Know what, I'm pissed. Therefore Jaina is grounded until I decide she's not. People can come in and leave at will, people can send calls and texts, but Jaina is stuck in her room. There. And post is open, yes.]

Comments

[weetuskenraider]

Oh, look, there was an incoming call from two floors up.

[solo_sword]

Sighing, Jaina pulled her phone (yes she took it to the gym, shush) and answered, "Solo."

Jaina, crabby? What?

[weetuskenraider]

"I get the feeling I'm being punished for something I haven't done," Tahiri informed her without so much as a hello, and her level of bitchy was right about on par with Jaina's right now.

That could be a little scary.

[solo_sword]

"That's too bad, but mind if I call you back?" she asked. "I'm a little busy trying to get out of my kriffing room."

Kicking the doorway will not help you, Jaina. Though it was cute of you to try.

[weetuskenraider]

"No, I was hoping you could --"

There was a long, long pause, and what could have been a doorknob rattling in the background, and an annoyed growl.

"You too?"

[solo_sword]

Jaina frowned. "What do you mean, too?"

Seriously, Fandom? Seriously?

[weetuskenraider]

"I mean I can't get out of my room either," Tahiri clarified. "The door's working just fine as far as I can tell but it won't let me open it."

If Ben wasn't having a similar problem, she was going to be so pissed.

[solo_sword]

"I can open the door, but I can't pass through the doorway," Jaina grumbled. "It's like I'm being teased. I could theoretically see people walking past, but can't go myself. Maybe it's everyone." And would be over tomorrow.

[weetuskenraider]

"Yeah, what are the odds it's just us?"

Don't ask, Tahiri. You don't want to know.

[solo_sword]

"It can't be just us," Jaina said confidently. "This place doesn't work that way."

Good to know this place could still surprise her after three years.

[weetuskenraider]

"Yeah, but . . ." Tahiri went over to peer down at the grounds through the window. "You'd think if everyone was stuck in their rooms, we'd have noticed someone panicking by now."

Stop it with the logic, Tahiri. It's weird.

[solo_sword]

"I'm not trying to think about that," she said quickly. "If it's just us, I'm going to be mad."

As opposed to what she was now.

[weetuskenraider]

"Oh, right. Because you're only mildly irritable now." It should be noted Tahiri had zipped right past mildly irritable a while ago herself. "And if it is just us, I'm going to end up wondering why."

[solo_sword]

"Because this town hates me," Jaina said. Totally only mildly irritable, really! "And I guess you by association."

[weetuskenraider]

"Well, that's charming of it," Tahiri decided. If sarcasm could kill . . .

"What the kriff did we ever do?"

[solo_sword]

Jaina had to think. "I don't remember jinxing myself lately..."

Yes, this was a possible reason. She'd done it with the last invasion and graduation. She now believed in jinxes, so there.

[weetuskenraider]

"I know I definitely haven't," Tahiri added, still in the bitchy voice. Well, she might have, considering the smartass things she said sometimes. "So you might be right, and Fandom hates us. That's just great."

[solo_sword]

Jaina didn't know why she was still trying. She knew she had to find another way to do this besides the obvious. So instead she grabbed a shoe from her floor and tossed it at the doorway.

And it went through. Oh, the rage going on here.

"Sithspit, I can throw things out. How is that fair?"

[weetuskenraider]

"At least you can open your door," Tahiri complained. "I can't even open mine. Or the window. It's not stuck, it just won't open for me."

Judging from the rattling and muttered swearing, she'd just tried again.

So much for not being insane any more.

[solo_sword]

"I have a feeling I know how this is going to go," Jaina said, heading to her window to open it.

It opened just fine, but sure enough, trying to put her hand through to reach outside just meant she felt like she was putting her hand up against a wall.

"The plus is I can get fresh air if I want it," she said. The snark was strong with this one.

[weetuskenraider]

She was from the GFFA and had Skywalker and Solo genes. Of course the snark was strong with that one.

"Rub it in, why don't you," Tahiri said after a long, sigh-punctuated moment.
