09:53 am [Link]	Room #226, Early Morning After a busy weekend, Vala shows up at her door just in time to dump her stuff in her room, take a quick shower, replace the bandage on her arm, check her messages, and make it to Advanced Criminal Justice class. (ETA: OOC: She's not feeling much like hanging in the room at the moment. If you want her, check places like the TA Lounge, the Lunch Room, the Library or a common room...) Current Mood: exhausted (Leave a comment)

07:35 pm [Link]	Room #226, Evening Vala had no classes on Wednesdays, something she had taken full advantage of by staying in her room rather than having to speak to anyone. She went into town for lunch, and came back to find all of Cam's stuff gone. She really should have been the one to leave, after all, it was his room. She still felt bad about that, but not enough to deal with tracking him down to talk about it. Not ~~after reading his note and spending an hour crying into Shamu~~ yet. She'd known she'd be seeing him entirely too much in class today as it was. Of course, it turned out that by hiding out she'd managed to miss Aeryn's sudden departure entirely. Dammit! It wasn't like they'd been all that close in anything but looks, but anyone who'd start the school year by shooting some jerk in the ass for you on request would always have a special place in her heart. She didn't even want to think about what John was going through, because that brought her too close to thoughts of Cam.... Damn, damn, damn. Maybe that's what she should have done too, just taken off. It would have been a lot easier than trying to pretend she and Cam weren't on the same campus for two long days. But at least that was over now. Maybe something else would come up when she was out there free to roam around the galaxy again. Maybe she could find something to come up.... She heard the noise down the hall, but definitely heard Cam's voice in among them, and decided not to interfere. She was just glad he had so many friends. It made her feel a little less guilty. ~~And maybe a little more lonely.~~ Hauling her carefully organized pack over one shoulder, Vala took off into the night.

08:37 pm [Link]	Room #226, night Vala didn't actually have to leave on her new job until Friday, but she really wished she could be gone now. She knew it was coming, one of these days. She'd just been in denial. And she'd been so happy there. Now she's back in the room. But sleep's not coming. Current Mood: sad (Leave a comment)

10:25 am [Link]	Room #226 -- All Day Vala was bored. She had her nice pain meds that kept her from hurting too much, but Cam had only agreed to go to classes on condition she promise not to get up. So she was sitting in bed, munching on the chocolates Parker had brought her, watching the snow fall outside the window, and flipping through the channels. The only thing on at this time of day was some stupid soap opera called Fading Soul, endless re-runs of Peter and Peter, and an old horror movie called Venusian Vampire Vixens... which, just... No. The new Pigs In Space wouldn't be on for hours. Flipping off the TV and tossing the remote aside, she sighed and picked up her copy of that smutty pirate novel the creepy little pink bunny-thing had stolen from Rory last semester... (Set up for Isabel, Parker and Janet at various times, but open to anyone who wants to bug the sickie ;-) Current Mood: bored (143 comments \| Leave a comment)

09:35 pm [Link]	Clinic, Middle Of The Night... Vala woke up in the darkness of the clinic, disoriented and confused. What? Wait... she tried to think, although her brain was slow and the quiet hum of equipment and low lights made her want to drift off again... She'd woken up with Cam... classes had been good... and her ~~zomg slow-played!~~ first tutoring session with Professor Pierson... and Caritas had been fun... but then... She frowned... trying to make sense of it... Oh, right. The damned vampire bitch.. She cursed as it came back to her and she felt her side twinge. Why the hell hadn't she just shown some common sense and run for it? So now she was in the clinic... stitched up, bandaged up... her eyes focused slowly on an IV line?... with a hole in her side and a cast on her left wrist.... Luckily, she also seemed to be pretty drugged up... because she knew she should have hurt more than she did... it had before... and Cam?... wait... wasn't Cam around...? She'd heard him... ...And she was out like a light again.... Current Mood: unconscious Tags: link drop (1 comment \| Leave a comment)

05:03 pm [Link]	after her run-in with Cam over lunch, and her meeting with Professor Pierson about history class, the pop quiz in Art Class was almost a breeze. She still had way too much knowledge about ancient Egypt in her head, for all she didn't like thinking about why that was. She'd also signed up for Gun Club, Flight Club, and (after spotting Cam's name on the Fraternity sheet) the new Sorority. Now she just had to figure out how she was going to work her Medieval English History homework into all of this. She's sitting on the bed right now, trying to decipher her notes from the last week.... [ooc: specifically for Cam, but open to anyone] Current Mood: frustrated (31 comments \| Leave a comment)

06:08 pm [Link]	Room #226, After 6th period Vala appeared, ~~dragging~~ escorting a tired-looking Cam into the room and closing the door behind them. Then she just wrapped him in a hug. After a few moments of that, she stepped back and frowned at him. "O.K., tell me." Current Mood: worried (18 comments \| Leave a comment)
01:27 am [Link]	Room #226, Around Midnight Vala was having trouble sleeping. It was reassuring that Cam had finally called, but the news wasn't particularly good and she could tell clearly even at this distance how much stress his father's accident was putting on him. The five hundredth time she turned over, trying to get comfortable, and saw the unopened letter in the shadows of the night stand, she lost the battle with her conscience, sat up, and turned on the light. The letter had clearly come with one of his care packages -- probably the one this week -- since it was only addressed with his first name in neat printing and the flap hadn't even ~~really~~ been sealed shut ~~at least not properly~~. Why hadn't he read it? Letters from his family were usually the first thing he tore open. But this one had been relegated to a bottom drawer, out of sight. What had changed since their trip home over Crissmass? What was Cam so anxious to avoid? Sliding her finger under the tiny spot of glue that held it shut, Vala opened the letter: ( Cameron, ) After reading it over again, Vala carefully folded it up, returned it to its envelope, and returned the envelope to the bottom drawer. Things were far worse than she'd realized between Cam and his family. And all because of her. And the worst part was that she agreed with his father: The last thing she wanted to do was derail Cam's future when he was only just getting started. She remembered actually being seventeen as well -- everything was larger and more important and seemed like forever. She had twice that amount of time, and a great deal of bitter experience, to give her perspective on things. But Cam didn't. The thought that he might give up his dreams, his future, in any way, for her made her stomach clench. She had to make sure that didn't happen, even if -- especially if -- he wouldn't. What had she been thinking anyway? Tying a young, bright, innocent seventeen-year-old down to a scheming, disreputable con-artist twice his age? Even without knowing that much, his father could already see the how she was causing Cam problems. She didn't even want to know what Mitchell, Sr., would think if he knew the truth. If she'd had a room of her own still, she would have moved back that night. As it was, she sat up the rest of the night as well, trying to figure out how she was going to be there for him when he returned from his father's bedside... while at the same time trying to start letting him go. Dawn was depressing seen from the wrong side. And it brought with it no answers. Current Mood: guilty (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

04:30 pm [Link]	Room #226, Evening Vala sat on her bed, door closed and concentrating heavily on the books she'd gotten from the library and trying to write her essay for tomorrow. There's a lot of frowning, muttering, and flipping of pages. But concentrating on this means she's not concentrating of Cam being gone, why he's gone, or the unopened letter addressed to him she found in the bottom drawer when she went to fish out her camera. The one that's just sitting on the bedside table now. Where it's being thoroughly ignored. Current Mood: worried (22 comments \| Leave a comment)

03:14 pm [Link]	Vala + Phone System = OTNot! [edited as the day continues] The day did not start out well, with a message from Phoebe of all people, giving her grief over her relationship with Cam. WTF? She'd barely spoken three words to this girl all year! Where did she get off...?!?! Having clearly expressed her opinion on that kind of unsolicited relationship interference, she heard more about Lee's plans than she ever really needed to. ~~Although, if they're right down the hall... and she does have that nifty digital camera Parker got her for Crissmass....~~ But what topped that was the message from Crichton. What? First Cam, now John thinks she's after Aeryn?!? That's just so many shades of wrong! And he did not just say something about that creepy robot from the movie theater. Oh, that was it!!! Not in the best of moods, she sighed. Cam had been an ass to Harkness and she'd kept him stuck in the middle of it. High time for her to do a little apologizing of her own. After a moment, she thinks she'd better drop a line to Callisto as well, for letting her crash when she had nowhere else to go. When she was done, the message that had come in while she was dialing left her stunned. Vala's patience was slipping massively. O.K., then. If Jaye was spreading rumors like that, Vala wasn't above reciprocating in kind. Bring it on, bitch! Then she had to respond to a weird call from Zero? What was with all the unsolicited personal advice today anyway? Vala was starting to think gremlin spit had gotten into the water or something.... And now Cam was giving her grief again? And just when they'd worked things out! Vala's pretty much beyond pissed by now. ETA: Kristy? WTF? Vala gave up and unplugged her phone for the night. Current Mood: pissed off (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

04:57 pm [Link]	Room #226, Tuesday Evening Vala entered the room ahead of Cam, uncomfortably aware since yesterday that it was officially his room, and that she was unofficially stuck without a space of her own. But at least he wanted to talk. If he could actually manage something like a real conversation this time.... She sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. Current Mood: annoyed (35 comments \| Leave a comment)

01:36 pm [Link]	Room #226 mid-afternoon... Vala has been enjoying her vacation. She has really been enjoying not being in class at 8a.m. (much as she adores Professor The Tick -- 8 a.m.?!?!?!?). In fact, she's been quite enjoying sleeping until noon or thereabouts. But even that kind of decadence only works for so long. She thought about heading for town, but the rain -- while pretty on the windows, and better than snow -- made that a rather unappealing thought. Thus she was currently lounging on the bed, reading through the course schedule for next semester and deciding how many easy "A"s she could balance with genuinely useful information -- like creature languages, self-defense, and ~~"What's Actually Worth Stealing 101"~~ "History of Art"....

03:01 am [Link]	Waking up Saturday morning, Vala's mun sorted through various excuses for having been unexpectedly AFK for the last week and leaving her fake boyfriend very bored indeed -- illness, gremlin bite, senile dementia, unexpected UFO abduction -- and decided to go with "hand-waviness" snuggled in tight... only after a second doing a double-take at realizing she and Cam were both in the same room. At the same time. She smiled to herself and snuggled in tighter, waiting for Cam to wake up. After all, they'd barely said three words to each other since the trip home for Crissmass.... ((ooc: And yes, I'm now going to bed. I suck. Sorry Jara!)) Current Mood: awake (1 comment \| Leave a comment)

03:41 am [Link]	Friday, Packing up... Vala's fretting ~~more than she would admit~~ over what to take on the trip to Cam's home and family. [ooc: Obligatory mun availability post: Will be around a little Friday, will be AFK with family Sat, Sun, and possibly Mon. Happy "Crissmass" all! ;-)] Current Mood: anxious (17 comments \| Leave a comment)

12:16 am [Link]	Room #226 Late Wednesday Night Vala lay awake next to a softly-snoring Cam once more. Professor Cregg's wild ambush in the hallway earlier had just made her furious. Too furious to even hear what the woman was saying. She thought I was trying to mess with Jack's head? Sorry, Jack, but I think you got adopted by a psycho! But after a while cooling off painting her nails with Aeryn, Janet, and Bridge... and then a run-in with Jack himself (where she'd actually been able to do something to help him again!)... she'd started thinking back, sifting through the professor's vicious words for bits that actually made some sense. ...Ten can reverse it if he had an accurate idea of what did it... ...Time is running out. Ten needs to know. He says he can reverse it, and I believe him... Finally the pieces snap together in her head. The thing Petit gave her. They need the time-thingy! Ten has some way to reverse this! And they need it now.... Vala sat straight up in bed, patting Cam soothingly as he started to wake up at her sudden movement. Quietly, she slipped out of bed and into the first warm clothes she could locate in the dark. Pulling the Victoria's Secret box from under the bed, she opened it just enough to be sure the device was still in there, gingerly wrapped in tissue. She then snuck quietly out of the room and headed for the park. She didn't know how they even knew she had the device, or why they hadn't just asked for it. Jack must have told them before.... But if they already knew about everything anyway, then at least she wasn't endangering them by involving them in this whole mess. And if there was any chance that The Doctor could reverse this, Vala was willing to take it. Besides the thing scared her to death anyway... Current Mood: frustrated Current Music: The quiet of a late dorm night in the middle of finals week... (2 comments \| Leave a comment)

11:47 pm [Link]	Late Night, #226 Cam was sound asleep, one arm wrapped around Vala's waist, snoring lightly. But Vala was lying awake. The Pageant had been just as much fun as she'd anticipated, even if Principal Bristow had shanghaied her into doing an impromptu pre-show performance for the crowd, and then all she'd gotten in return was a compass and pre-printed confession form.) That wasn't what was bothering her. She'd been all excited when the Time Agent had first approached her, and last night even Cam seemed to see how good a thing this could be for them. Then she had tried to go Crissmass shopping today and Mr. Petit from the Time Agency had found her again. Peering in the dark she could almost see her bag, where the memory-wipe device was stashed. She had to track down Jack tomorrow and talk to him about this.... Current Mood: restless Tags: crissmass, link drop, loot, time agency (Leave a comment)

11:32 pm [Link]	Room #226, Night Cam was still asleep when Vala tip-toed back into their room. What with the stress of de-wolfing, and then their earlier, uh, 'celebrating', it didn't look like he'd be waking up anytime soon. Carrying a number of bags from the big trip to the NPC Christmas Store she moved as quietly as possible. She laid out -- ~~among other things TBD~~ -- a large wreath, strings of lights, boxes of sparkly ornaments, lots of tinsel garland, a doormat she hoped Cam wouldn't take offense at, and a glow-in-the-dark nativity scene camel. (Angel seemed to have issues with some of the people in the farm scenes, but she thought the camel was kind of cute.) Feeling smug, Vala stripped down and snuggled back into bed, curling up next to her now-very-human-shaped boyfriend. John was right. She and Cam could decorate their room for Crissmass tomorrow. It would let Cam stay in, and still might cheer him up a bit. Current Mood: accomplished Tags: crissmass, link drop, loot (Leave a comment)
06:38 pm [Link]	Room #226 afternoon Having finally made it through the halls and back to the room, Vala hurried in, and Cam, reveling for a moment in the return of his opposable thumbs, quickly locked the door behind them.

06:35 pm [Link]	Room #226, Friday evening Having narrowly escaped being turned into Christmas sheep or elves or something by barging in on Dean Bristow earlier, Vala was crashed on the bed, trying to get a jump on her piles of Abnormal Psych homework, when she heard a scruffling noise at the door. Current Mood: calm Tags: camwolf (37 comments \| Leave a comment)
