Room 317, Thursday afternoon

Claudia's alarm clock was fritzing. A smart ass might point out that this was because it was currently in pieces, strewn across the floor (or at least, her half of the floor, she didn't want to risk the unknown wrath of her new roommate by encroaching on her territory with tiny bits of plastic and silicon), but she'd point out that it was, in fact, fritzing before she took it apart. She was just looking to fix the problem.

And, okay, see if she could get it to pick up interdimensional radio signals. Or at least HD and satellite.

[ooc: door and post are open.]

Scully was definitely still taking the stairs everywhere. And while she was at it, decided a visit to Claudia was in order.

She stopped inside the door, studying the chaos in front of her. "What's the objective this time?"

"Interesting." Scully sat down on the floor, and picked up one part of what looked to be a casing. "Anything in particular inspire this? And do you want to get Radio Free Cuba, or outer space?"

Scully smothered a grin and said, "Well, why not." She poked at another part, considering it. "Another power source might be good. Oh, and I ran into your new roommate in the gym a couple days ago."

"Not really. Are you two getting along?" Scully looked amused. "She mostly seemed disappointed we don't have a cheerleading squad. I didn't have the heart to give her all the warnings I heard when I got here." She squinted at the pieces in front of her. "Maybe make it solar, while you're at it?"

"What about Jake?" Scully gave her a curious look, then started looking around for a small screwdriver to be able to secure a few things. "And do we even have any sports teams to cheer for?"

Scully found a screwdriver, then had to consider that. "Well, maybe. Point. And there's something wrong with the stairs, as well as the elevator?"

Scully considered the physical competence of the guy in question, and had to admit, "No, it doesn't. Did he get hurt? Or anyone else?" She grimaced. "And yes, there's a freight elevator-- I wanted to take some new parts I found at the clinic up to the roof, maybe put up a second trebuchet there-- but the stupid thing stuck between the second and third floors, with me in it."

"Apparently. Do you know Lion-O or Momoko? They were nice enough to help me get out of there." Scully had to roll her eyes. "After they quit chatting about wow, how unlikely it was, and oh hiiii how are you, yeah, that new girl got stuck, hope she didn't go anywhere."

"True. Even if I felt ridiculous the whole time, and desperately needed a restroom."

"There are way worse things." Scully looked sideways at Claudia. "Jacob's cute, and all."

Put like that, Scully understood it better. Imagine landing on Mulder while he was shirtless. Or Dean.

... yeah, more fun in the imagination than it probably would be in reality. "Very weird. I'm sorry," Scully sympathized. "At least it wasn't Peter?" She held up a few more connected wires, and said, "Did I hook these up right?"

Scully grinned, and put down the screwdriver. "So. Ready for the first test of whatever-it-is."

"At least until someone perfects solar storage batteries." Scully tilted her head to watch Claudia. "We need to have a science geek meeting sometime soon. Check in with everyone who was looking into stuff on the Island."

Scully looked surprised, and said tentatively, "I don't know if I'd call myself a planner, but sure. If you'd prefer it." She looked thoughtful. "Maybe invite people to help put together the trebuchet again?"

"The camp, I think. More room, less questions." Scully paused. "And I really don't want to deal with that elevator again."

Scully smiled. "We can always have more water balloons handy."

"Ice cubes, maybe... and I'll take heat over cold any day." Ugh, Antarctica. "Maybe the beach this weekend. I haven't seen it yet, really."

As would Scully, if she didn't turn into one giant freckle. "Plans, then. With the plan to adjourn to air conditioning if we start to melt or explode."
