smart_houseSARAH's door opens where it usually does, thrown wide like usual, lights on but dimmed.
Like usual.
There's not much variation, when you have a purpose in existence as...structured, as SARAH does.

Date: 2008-08-25 06:03 pm (UTC)His life, after all, is not exactly structured as SARAH's - although it's just as arranged, in its own way.
At any rate, he's there now, wandering inside and making himself (almost) quite at home. "Hullo," he says, grinning. "Now where have you been all my - last few days here, anyways?"
no subject
Date: 2008-08-25 06:09 pm (UTC)The lights shift and brighten, wall in front of Jamie receding to reveal a fireplace which alights.
"X-23 and Zoe got into some trouble, the last time X-23 came to Eureka to visit."
no subject
Date: 2008-08-25 06:35 pm (UTC)"I hadn't heard anything about this! Zoe's the blonde who lives in your house, right?" The one who rolled her eyes all the time, Jamie remembers her as. Girls. "Was it just a visit this time, or were they robbing another top-secret facility?"
no subject
Date: 2008-08-25 06:37 pm (UTC)"X-23 came back to Milliways, and Zoe has community service to do."
no subject
Date: 2008-08-25 07:02 pm (UTC)Jamie doesn't know much about Zoe's modus operandi, but he's got experience with Laura's.

Date: 2008-08-25 07:44 pm (UTC)He shakes his head, with a sigh. "You see what happens when I'm not there to keep an eye on things! You've got to have someone responsible around on these field trips."
Jamie's becoming a fairly expert babysitter these days, he feels. And at least he's good at hiding the evidence.

Date: 2008-08-25 07:56 pm (UTC)The past eight worlds they've zipped through were not exactly party planets.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-25 08:56 pm (UTC)"That is nice to hear, Jamie."
no subject
Date: 2008-08-26 02:17 pm (UTC)"I expect we'll be here for a little while before heading off again. Joris - he's one of the folks I'm traveling with now - I think he needs a bit of time to adjust."
He doesn't mention the other part - which is that he has a suspicion that this time around, when he leaves he might not be back. Not with Joris' gadgets to get him Home.

Date: 2008-09-03 02:30 am (UTC)Jamie shrugs. "You never know what's going to pop up. It's been a nasty set of world, but it's got to get better eventually."

Date: 2008-09-03 02:43 am (UTC)"It implies you get to stop."
Eventually.
no subject
Date: 2008-09-03 02:49 am (UTC)Jamie tries hard to keep his voice light and matter-of-fact.
(There are two words in Jamie's vocabulary that are always capitalized. Home is one of them. Them is the other.)
no subject
Date: 2008-09-03 02:51 am (UTC)Also matter-of-fact and, well...mechanical.
"So you should go."
no subject
Date: 2008-09-03 02:56 am (UTC)His gaze drops down, and then off to the side; he'd be evading SARAH's eyes, if she had them. Since she doesn't that makes it trickier. "SARAH, I'm fond of Milliways as anything, you know that. But for Them it doesn't count. I don't get to stop here. The rules are that Home is where you start out from. You don't get to pick one along the way."
no subject
Date: 2008-09-03 03:04 am (UTC)"You will leave me messages when you can?"
It seems to be the best SARAH could hope for.
no subject
Date: 2008-09-03 03:09 am (UTC)"Of course," he says, and grins, quick and easy.
"I'll save up funny stories just for you. Like your own personal travel guide, if you like."
no subject
Date: 2008-09-03 12:21 pm (UTC)Primary functions require the least amount of effort.
"Do you need anything?"
no subject
Date: 2008-09-17 12:57 am (UTC)Jamie is a low-maintenance sort of fellow.
He stops, and then adds, rather shiftily, "But I wouldn't say no if you were to put on that telly-thing."
SOAP OPERAS FTW!
no subject
Date: 2008-09-17 12:58 am (UTC)A drawer slides out from the wall to reveal a remote control. "You can pick."
no subject
Date: 2008-09-17 01:08 am (UTC)"I just use the arrows? Or the numbers?"

Date: 2008-09-17 01:11 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2008-09-17 01:14 am (UTC)Onscreen, someone chops off an octopus' leg, grins maniacally, and says, "Now we roll it in the rosemary-herb breadcrumb mixture -"
Jamie blinks.

Date: 2008-09-17 01:20 am (UTC)Jamie flips the channel, and a man juts his chin out and says, "We'll see him behind bars."
On the next channel, a different man is doing the same thing.
no subject
Date: 2008-09-17 01:22 am (UTC)"Oh Jethro -- how...delicious -- "
The channel changes before Jamie touches a button.
"Anything inappropriate."
no subject
Date: 2008-09-17 01:31 am (UTC)"If it's my mind you're worried about, it's not all that easy to impress. Impression."
no subject
Date: 2008-09-17 01:39 am (UTC)SARAH lets Jamie play with the television channels for as long as he wants. SARAH has no place else to be.
