Room 423, Wednesday afternoon

[itsjustlanguage]

Hoshi's good mood over doing radio the other night was starting to wear off. She was really starting to envy Robin. She was standing in front of her closet in her undies and taking stock of how much she had left in clean clothes. "I can't believe the laundry machines went on strike, especially with all the new students around," she grumbled. Maybe she could turn stuff inside out and wear it, but that thought made her frown even more.

[Establishy. Door closed, but post is open for Amber or the roommate if she's around. Or for a little sibling too.]

Hurley nodded. "It sucks."

"Yeah, sometimes stuff like that happens. Not like I'm an expert on relationships or anything." What was that Greek guy's name from last summer? Hoshi felt halfway bad for not remembering.

"So, who is this guy she's engaged to?" asked Hoshi, waving Hurley over to the open desk chair.

Hurley went and sat. "Some... dude with royal blood, I guess?" he shrugged. "She doesn't even really like the guy."

"That's awful. I guess someone's forcing her to marry this guy?" asked Hoshi, sitting cross-legged on the bed so she could pet Porthos.

Hurley shrugged. "Sorta. It's... supposed to break her curse," he said.

"Oh, yikes," said Hoshi. It was totally different from what she had assumed on Monday. "I should apologize for what I said. I didn't know anything about that."

"It's okay," Hurley said. "Like you said, you didn't know."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Are you going to be okay? Because that's why I got so upset. I didn't want to see you get hurt," said Hoshi, still feeling pretty sheepish.

"Yeah, I think I'll get over it," Hurley said. "I mean, I just want her to be happy, you know?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Hoshi nodded in understand. "Did you guys at least have a good time on your date?" she asked.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"A lot," Hurley said. "She's so nice, you know?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like I really should meet her," said Hoshi.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley nodded. "I can't see how anyone wouldn't like her," he said.

"Well, then I'm sure I'll like her," said Hoshi, smiling. She was curious about this curse, but she figured it might best to ask Penelope.

"She's working at Caritas tonight," Hurley said. "Every Wednesday, she's there."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'd heard that. I was thinking of heading over there tonight before Amber came over with a bottle," said Hoshi.

Hurley nodded. "That's cool. Just... thought I should tell you."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Thanks for telling me. And, hey, thanks for coming over here and letting me know what was going on with Penelope," said Hoshi. "As much as I love keeping up with radio, sometimes you don't get the whole story."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hurley said. "Plus, you know, gotta keep my big sis up to date."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Of course!" said Hoshi, grinning. "I need to be sure that my little sibs are all doing okay."

"Oh, if you see a girl named Harper around? She's my little. She's cool," Hurley said.

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Awesome! You've got your own little sibling," said Hoshi, grinning. "I've heard her name on radio. I'll keep an eye out for her."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I gotta check in on her again," Hurley said. "See if she's been... broken in yet."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Uh oh. Is she from a different time period?" asked Hoshi.

Hurley shook his head. "I just think she didn't believe me about the weird stuff when I told her."
