Morrigan sat in the dining hall a notebook open in front of her. The notebook lay open on a page that consisted of sketch depicting multiple dissections of the human brain. Surrounding the images of the brain were formula's upon formulas written down, crossed out, circled or scribbled away.
Her pen wrapped against the table she was sitting at "I'm using the electromagnetic waves to carry the source code as it is now but how can I upload the code directly without needing the Oasis?" Morrigan began writing out more formulas before crossing them out.

***Emmett, Journey, and Ray enter from Halliday University - Hallways and Lounge Outside Classrooms***
Opting for different food choices, the three set off to get their meals and agreed to meet back up at a table.
With tray in hand, Journey glanced around the other food booths and saw the boys waiting at the pick-up counter. She headed for the crowded seating area to scout out a table. Lucky for her, a group was just vacating one that seated four.
She stood a few respectful steps away so she wouldn't seem pushy, wanting to give them the feeling to take their time. Journey glanced around, making eye contact with a brunette girl that sat on her own nearby. She gave the girl a friendly smile but kept her eyes moving around. The group gathered their trays and she turned her ever present friendly smile their way, then placed her tray on the table and took a seat, waiting for the boys before digging in.
Well, at least she'd wait on the burger. A couple fries found their way into her mouth before she saw them heading over. Journey waved an arm in the air to catch their attention.

"Hey, thanks!" Emmett's hands met the tray of food halfway that was slid onto the pickup counter before scooping it up. Ray was standing beside him, still waiting for his order to come out of the booth's kitchen, so Emmett stood with his tray in hand as he patiently waited beside his friend. Emmett didn't mind, as it gave the two boys an opportunity to have a quick chat.
"So Ray-man, you and Journey hang out eh? That's cool, that's cool," Emmett addressed nonchalantly as he bobbed his head up and down in a nodding motion, "Have you and her been friends for long?"

They stood in different lines for getting their meals but they agreed to sit down at a table together. While Journey already got a part of her meal and sat down the two boys still have to wait. Well, only Ray still had to wait but Emmett stood beside him. But it took a moment before he noticed that his friend started a little chit-chat. He was day-dreaming while watching at Journey. "So Ray-man, you and Journey hang out eh? That's cool, that's cool," "Have you and her been friends for long?" "Uh,.. what?", he turned at his friend. "Um, well… If we’ve been friends for long?" He paused a moment while he tried to handle with his embarrassment.
'To be honest I’m not sure if we’re friends. We’re classmates who sometimes talk together because we got many similar interests. Oh, and I like her!' That was what he should have said.
But then he got his meal and decided to use that distruction to change the subject. "We got many similar interests – of course, also the Oasis. But sorry, man – we shouldn’t let her wait too long. Look, she’s already waving." While speaking Ray nodded his head in Journeys direction and gave her a smart smile. Then he gave Emmett a pat on the back. "I’ll tell you that story later, dude. But now we’ve to forge out plans for our new Trio Infernale, right?!"
Then they head over to Journey. They passed another young woman who was sitting alone at her table. Ray wasn’t sure about her name – Morgan or something like that he thought. But no matter. He didn’t have to get along with everybody at the university. If that girl wanted to stay alone she should do so. Maybe she used the Oasis, too? Perhaps they‘ve already met there…
"Hey," was all he said to his heartthrob when they finally arrived her. Ray hoped that the others didn’t notice his embarrassment.

Journey continued nibbling on a fry whilst watching the boys chat as they got their food and started walking over. She had a smirk of amusement on her lips as they set their trays on the table and settled themselves into their chairs.
"Okay, boys, any more talking about girls will have to wait. It's time to get down to Oasis business," she joked, having no idea that they had, in fact, been talking about girls. Or more specifically, one certain girl. Journey picked up another fry. "But seriously," she interjected, pointing the fry at the two, "if you ever need a wing woman, I'm your gal." Her dimpled smile appeared on her face as she popped the French fry into her mouth.
"When do you guys wanna go in for our first try?" she asked, attention down on her burger as she carefully picked it up without letting the contents escape it. "I was thinking tomorrow after classes. Too soon?" she asked, talking a bite and looking between the two of them for their input.
They could spend more time planning and strategizing but Journey was antsy pants to jump right in as soon as possible. One of the beauties of the Oasis was that, unlike real life, you could take chances. Just had to watch out for your credits and avoid the dark corners of that Oasis where the actual life of your avatar was at stake. Those places were not created by IOI, but by players. IOI allowed them because part of the point of the Oasis was for people to be creative and make worlds they envision. When a non-IOI sanctioned world was selected by a player, they would receive a pop-up, clearly warning them of the risk they were taking before making their virtual travel to it. Journey found no desire to visit those places. The thought of risking wiping out all your credits and progress, all those years of work to end up restarting from scratch just for a chance of winning some rare player-created weapon, tool, or whatever else that might not even work properly outside of the world it was built into, well, that was just insane.

Emmett planted his tray of food across from Journey, beside Ray. Shedding a giddy smile, he rubbed his hands together in excitement not only for the delectable fried cuisine they were about to devour but also for planning out this mission they were all about to embark on together in the Oasis. If they were victorious in their grand scheme to obtain the magic flute, this would become part of one of Emmett's biggest wins yet.
"When do you guys wanna go in for our first try?""I was thinking tomorrow after classes. Too soon?"
Emmett retrieved a fully stuffed taco shell from his tray before replying with assurance to Journey's suggestion, "Tomorrow works! I've tried to do some research and I've found that not many have succeeded in getting to the final stage so if we fail the first time at least we will know what we're up against and can develop our strategies," Emmett took a savory bite of his taco before carrying on with the conversation, "Afterall, I'm willing to take chances. What about you, Ray? Take a chance?" Emmett elbowed his friend beside him playfully, as he bobbed back and forth in his seat chanting "Take a chance, chance" on repeat to the tune of the hit ABBA song until Ray replied.

Ray didn’t dare to sit down beside Journey even if he wanted to be as closely as possible to her. So he took a seat across from her. Emmett sat down next to him. He took a sip of his Coke when Journey raised her voice. "Okay, boys, any more talking about girls will have to wait. It's time to get down to Oasis business," Ray had to attempt not to splutter his Coke because he was startled about her words. Luckily he managed keeping his mouth shut and gulping down the drink. "But seriously," "if you ever need a wing woman, I'm your gal." Hell, why did she say something like that?! There were so many things he could answer to her, some of them maybe a bit like a counterattack – but he bit back every single word that came to his mind. He didn’t want her to be his wing woman – he wanted her to be his girl! And he didn’t want her thinking that he was an idiot. So he should try to stay cool as always. And he should eat something – an empty bag cannot stand upright.
"When do you guys wanna go in for our first try?" "I was thinking tomorrow after classes. Too soon?" It was Emmett who first gave an answer. Ray’s mouth was filled with a huge bite of his pizza. "Tomorrow works! I've tried to do some research and I've found that not many have succeeded in getting to the final stage so if we fail the first time at least we will know what we're up against and can develop our strategies," "Afterall, I'm willing to take chances. What about you, Ray? Take a chance?" Ray just gobbled his mouthful down when suddenly his friend gave him a poke with his ellbow. But before he could gave him an answer Emmett started to kid around a bit. He gave a short laugh and slapped him on the shoulder. "You’re such a wisecracker, Doc. Stop making me choke on my food." Then he looked at Journey. "But back to business: I also think tomorrow after classes will be right. Of course, during classes would be even better… But I’m sure most of the teachers wouldn’t like it." Finally Ray got back to his normal joking mood. "But where do we want to sit down while using our chance?" Suddenly he couldn’t longer resit to try a cheeky flirt or something like that. "Your place or mine?"

Journey put down her burger and beamed at the two when they both agreed on tomorrow. "Yay, I'm so excited!" she said with a giddy little clap.
"But where do we want to sit down while using our chance?"
Journey was already ahead of them. She grabbed a napkin and quickly wiped her hands, then picked up her mobile device and started clicking away.
"Your place or mine?"
She chuckled, punching in a few last keys, glancing up at Ray momentarily. "Hey now, take a girl out to dinner first," she added with her own playful response before setting her attention back on her device. "And there... we... go. All settled." She placed her device back on the table and picked up her burger again. "I booked us one of the private OASIS rooms in the Rec Center. My treat," she announced after already having finalized the booking so that neither could insist on being the ones to shoulder the cost. They weren't aware that she had complimentary access so it would be a waste of their credits. She took another bite of her delicious burger and chewed with smile still on her face.

The books were still strewn across the table with postit notes stuck to varying pages with big sections of text highlighted here and there. A group game into the hall deciding to sit close to where Morrigan had parked up to snack and study, the female among them gave her a curt smile while the other two males were far more interested in what he could only assume was procreation with the female judging by the way they talked and acted around her to really bother with more than a passing gaze at Morrigan.
Morrigan ignored the trio to begin with as their who was going to hook up with who first bore little interest into her, only that didn't end up happening. Instead they began to talk about heading into the Oasis and Morrigan couldn't help but easedrop on their conversation. Unable to quite catch why they were going to head into the Oasis she nor did she really care she did however catch when they would be and more importantly where;
"I booked us one of the private OASIS rooms in the Rec Center."
How cute the female thought they were private how wrong she was and how soon she would learn.

"Hey now, take a girl out to dinner first,"
Emmett contributed a lighthearted chuckle at the playful banter between Ray and Journey, oblivious to anything more that lingered between the two as he gobbed down the last few bites of his lunch. He was busy being occupied by the thrill of the fact that they were actually sitting down and planning this mission together, and Emmett could only hope that this would become the first of many.
"And there... we... go. All settled.""I booked us one of the private OASIS rooms in the Rec Center. My treat,"
"Wow, I mean really?! You didn't have to - but gosh, thanks Journey!"Emmett graciously thanked Journey for her contribution before rubbing his hands together enthusiastically, "Ladies and gents, consider operation Trio Infernale a go!" Emmett grabbed his empty tray and brought himself to his feet at the table, "I know a guy who can possibly score you two some sweet armor in game - best we go in prepared! I'll go and see if I can strike up a dealio with him, catch up with you two later!" Waving goodbye to Ray and Journey, Emmett began to head to dispose of the empty garbage residing on his tray. The image of a brain with a bunch of notes and formulas all over it caught Emmett's eye as he began to slow down to a stop.
"That looks tough - are you a med student or something?" Emmett had gazed in awe over the shoulder of the girl who had been occupying the table full of books and notes before finally making his prying curiosity known.

"Yay, I'm so excited!" Wow, she was so sweet! Ray loves her glowing reaction. Of course, Emmett sometimes acted similar to that. His youthful enthusiasm often was thrilling and infectious. But that was another matter.
Ray wasn’t sure if Journey noticed his flirt anyway because she was using her mobile device. "Hey now, take a girl out to dinner first," 'I’m sorry! So – may I ask you to dinner?' That was what he should have said. It was his opportunity! But he missed it. What if they would talk about their parents when they'd go out together? He already knew who her parents were. Should he try to be surprised? And what about his own Dad? 'Oh yeah, my father had worked for IOI – the ones that fought against your parents, ya know?' Bad idea!
"And there... we... go. All settled." "I booked us one of the private OASIS rooms in the Rec Center. My treat," Yes, missed the chance! Oh, she did what? "Wow, I mean really?! You didn't have to - but gosh, thanks Journey!" "Thanx, sounds great!," was all he said. It wasn’t his style to act like Emmett although he felt as grateful like his friend. "Ladies and gents, consider operation Trio Infernale a go!" Now there was a toothy grin at Ray’s face. "Yeah – the stage is ours!" "I know a guy who can possibly score you two some sweet armor in game - best we go in prepared! I'll go and see if I can strike up a dealio with him, catch up with you two later!" "Um, okay, Doc. Don’t forget – we got some extra credits. Only the best for Trio Infernale!" Emmett now was hyped up and left them alone.
"And off he went…," Ray commented. He followed his buddy with his eyes and noticed that he stopped at a table nearby. The one that strange girl was sitting at. Oh, poor Emmett. She didn’t look like that sort of girl who likes to have a little chit-chat. "Gosh, he’s as nosy as a little child," he sighed with a good-natured smile on his lips. Then he turned back to Journey: "And hey, this time you beat me to it. Next time it’s my turn to pay, okay?"

"That looks tough - are you a med student or something?"
One of the males had decided to approach Morrigan, she guess he was good looking enough though obviously not very smart if all he could gather from the books and formulas laid out before her was 'Med student or something.'
"T'were it easy any kind of clod could attempt it. However I will give you a point for recognizing the medical applications of the books and formulas though you shouldn't let it get to your head; a 4 year can work out the game Operation is a derivitive of actual surgery. Moreover what you have stumbled upon here today could reap huge benefits in the realm of neuralscience and neuroengineering."
Not to mention the fun it could allow her to have when she finally figures how to hack into the brain through the Oasis. Each step gets her closer to the ultimate goal, everyone ended up handling Wade's victory and choices rather well at the end of the day, well most did anyway the rest were swept under the rug without a care. Till she works it out though she was free to have fun at the expensive of others.
"So you could say I am something else." she gave the male that split from the trio a sickly sweet smile.

"Wow, I mean really?! You didn't have to - but gosh, thanks Journey!"
Journey beamed at his enthusiasm. "Nothing but the best for my bestie!"
"Thanx, sounds great!,"
Journey turned her smile toward Ray as a silent 'You're welcome'.
"Ladies and gents, consider operation Trio Infernale a go!"
"Yeah – the stage is ours!"
"I know a guy who can possibly score you two some sweet armor in game - best we go in prepared! I'll go and see if I can strike up a dealio with him, catch up with you two later!"
Journey looked up toward Emmett who now stood with tray in hand. "Oh, that would be so awesome! Thanks, Doc." She wished she could really convey how that meant so much more than what she was offering, but that would mean having to explain why she had complimentary access to OASIS facilities.
"Um, okay, Doc. Don’t forget – we got some extra credits. Only the best for Trio Infernale!"
"Yes!" she said, grateful for the reminder. "I'd be happy to use some of mine on that armor," she called after Emmett's retreating figure. That made her feel a bit better, though generous as Emmett was, she had a feeling he wouldn't ask to be reimbursed.
"And off he went…,"
Emmett's joy and enthusiasm only boosted her own ridiculous levels of it that were just her natural, bubbly personality. "Emmett's my spirit animal," she said with a chuckle. "He's just so sweet and adorable and you can't usually say that about a guy." There was nothing but praise in her voice over that claim.
"Gosh, he’s as nosy as a little child,"
The smile faltered on Journey's face as her eyes followed Ray's to Emmett. "Yah... maybe a little too sweet at times," she said distractedly, a bit of concern in her voice. She couldn't help but feel protective. Not only did Journey get a Type A personality off the girl that would trample the likes of someone with Emmett's sweet disposition, but she was also bothered by the smile that looked to be filled with sickly sweet saccharin rather than genuine sugar.
"And hey, this time you beat me to it. Next time it’s my turn to pay, okay?"
Journey tore her gaze away from Emmett and that girl to focus on Ray. She put a smile back on her face, though the ghost of worry still lingered. "Next time? Well, I'll definitely make that deal just to hold you to the promise of a next time," she said, wiping her hands clean on a napkin before holding it out to him to shake on the deal.

"Emmett's my spirit animal," "He's just so sweet and adorable and you can't usually say that about a guy." Okay, maybe it sounded a bit strange to call a guy sweet but she was right – it fitted to Emmett. He knew exactly what she meant. "Yah... maybe a little too sweet at times," "Hope she wouldn’t eat him," he said with a lopsided sneer on his lips while his eyes also showed sorrow. If that girl would dump on his best friend he will stop her! So it wasn’t only Journey who still had an eye on their friend. He also did.
"Next time? Well, I'll definitely make that deal just to hold you to the promise of a next time," Now Ray couldn’t help grinning at her while she offered him her hand. Of course, he took her hand to seal the deal. "Gosh, you’re so sweet, too. And I hope there’s nothing wrong to say that about a girl," he spoke out loud his thoughts. But just a second later he realized his fail. His cheeks blushed and he was sure that his hands began to sweat. Hell, what did he do?!

"Gosh, you’re so sweet, too. And I hope there’s nothing wrong to say that about a girl,"
Journey giggled at the adorable way he blushed, thinking it was only embarrassed worry that he may have insulted her, though she saw no way that he'd have thought so. "Of course not," she said, giving a dismissive wave once their handshake ended. "I find it a high compliment," she reassured.
She pushed her tray aside and placed an elbow on the table, resting her chin in her palm at an angle that allowed her to concentrate on both Ray and Emmett. "Would you mind hanging out awhile longer? I'm hesitant to leave until I know Emmett's gonna be okay and it'd be kinda obvious what I'm up to if I'm sitting here alone."

"Of course not," "I find it a high compliment," "Okay, cool. It really was one." Luckily he didn’t turn out as an idiot in front of her.
But then they get back to, well, business? Normal? At least they got the same interest: Protecting Emmett. "Would you mind hanging out awhile longer? I'm hesitant to leave until I know Emmett's gonna be okay and it'd be kinda obvious what I'm up to if I'm sitting here alone." "We speak the same language. I also want to watch over Emmett. So let’s stay for a while," Ray answered. He took his drink and leant forward to Journey. "Actually you had to keep an eye on him because I don’t have eyes in the back of my head."

Emmett stared at her blankly with a dough boy expression washed over his face, trying to process what had just happened. He swore that he saw her lips moving, and sound coming out but he could not make sense of anything that she had just said.
"So you could say I am something else."
"Right," Emmett put emphasis into his speech as he began to sidestep his way out of the conversation and exit stage left, "You just keep doing you...I'ma-I'm gonna go this way." Emmett awkwardly stammered as he took his index fingers on each hand and pointed them towards the exit of the food court, shaking off the strange shudder that traveled down his spine as he walked away.

"Actually you had to keep an eye on him because I don’t have eyes in the back of my head."
Amused, Journey grinned while Ray pulled more of her attention. "Nope, that's usually a gift we women develop. That and a sort'a spidey sense that starts to tingle when there's a sinister female in our midst." She was exaggerating for comedic purposes. Or so she assumed. She definitely got an innate bad feeling observing Emmett's interaction with her. But she hadn't picked up anything when she'd walked by the girl earlier and had given her a friendly smile. Maybe she was wrong?
Journey's attention was pulled toward the two again when Emmett began to move. Or rather, side-shuffle his way away from the girl with a sort of deer-in-headlights expression on his face. She wondered what the girl had said to him to cause such a reaction. Journey felt sorry to see such a look on him but it also gave her a sense of relief. Nice guys tended to fall under the spell of girls who did not deserve them. Thank goodness Emmett hadn't been caught in that particular trap.
With a sigh of relief, Journey pulled her attention from Emmett's safely retreating figure and gave Ray her full attention. "Our boy has escaped unscathed and uncharmed. Thanks for waiting it out with me," she said, despite the fact that Ray had wanted to stay anyway to watch over Emmett as well. Most guys didn't do that, especially when it came to college guys. Their method usually involved rooting for the guy to score, not bothering to look at the female as anything more than an object in play, then snickering and mercilessly ribbing the guy if he failed. An appallingly unfortunate truth that she and most other college girls witnessed first hand when put into the unwanted role of the object the whole demeaning interaction revolved around.
Chin still resting on her palm, she studied Ray a moment before speaking. "You're one of the good ones, aren't you?"

"Nope, that's usually a gift we women develop. That and a sort'a spidey sense that starts to tingle when there's a sinister female in our midst." Ray grinned at her. "Did anyone ever told ya‘ that you got a really nice kind of humor?" It was no real question but he just had to point it out.
While Journey watched over Emmett Ray made sheep's eyes at her. She wouldn’t notice it at the moment. And he couldn’t also keep an eye on their friend because it would be odd-looking if he turned around and observe the other table. That strange girl - Morgana? – said something. Ray heard her voice but couldn’t understand the words. It was too loud at the Dining Hall and she was sitting a bit too far away from them to hear the words clearly in-between that perpetual noise. "Our boy has escaped unscathed and uncharmed. Thanks for waiting it out with me," Ray gave a sigh of relief just as her. "Kay, that`s good news," he replied. But now he wondered what happened between Emmett and Morgraine (What the hell was her name?!). He hoped his friend would be okay. The conversation between him and Miss Weirdo didn’t took very long.
"You're one of the good ones, aren't you?" Journey’s sweet voice brought him back to the here and now. "Um, yup," he said intuitive. But a few seconds later he starred at her and mumbled: "Uh… wait. What? A good one? Well, not sure about that. I’d rather say I’m the wolf in sheep’s clothing." His words were accompanied by a broad grin. "And you? You’re really one of the good ones! Hey, like you mentioned it before – ya‘ know, that thing with those spidey senses. You’re the friendly spider of the neighbourhood."

"Um, yup," "Uh… wait. What? A good one? Well, not sure about that. I’d rather say I’m the wolf in sheep’s clothing."
He did the guy thing of not fully paying attention. Well, at first. Her question had finally caught up to him. Journey rested her chin in her hand and grinned, amused by the adorableness of his back peddling. She wasn't buying the wolf in sheep's clothing for a second. Nah, he was one of the good ones.
"And you? You’re really one of the good ones!
"Eh, I'm alright," she said modestly, with a dismissive wave. Journey really did try to be a good person, always happy, always trying to make others smile. She hoped she was seen as a good person.
Hey, like you mentioned it before – ya‘ know, that thing with those spidey senses. You’re the friendly spider of the neighbourhood."
"Well damn," she said, dropping her hand and falling back into her seat. "That's me, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Woman. You found me out. Just do me a favor," she said, leaning forward, exaggeratedly looking left and right before back at him. "Don't tell anyone. Especially not the Daily Bugle. That J. Jonah Jameson guy really has it out for me."

"Well damn," "That's me, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Woman. You found me out. Just do me a favor," Although Ray knew that it was just a joke he already did her the favor to pretend they both were serious. But it was not as easy as he thought at the first moment because she suddenly leaned very close to him. "Don't tell anyone. Especially not the Daily Bugle. That J. Jonah Jameson guy really has it out for me." "Ahem,… of course not that guy!" It was so much fun that she joined in this jest. But to be honest there was another picture in his head when he thought about Spiderman-comparisons: That unforgettable overhead kiss. Damn, at this moment he wanted to kiss her lips so bad! But, hell yeah, he kept his temper. Everyone would see how he made an ass of himself. He was sure Journey wouldn’t like it. Well, he didn’t mean the kiss – there would be at least a fifty-fifty chance that she liked it. But she probably won’t be amused if he would do it right here, right now… "So, I think we should leave, too," he readmit their conversation attempting to escape this situation. And then, with a twinkle in his eye, he added: "I’m sure there are some Baddies waiting for Spiderwoman to catch em." Besides, there were essays waiting for them to be written down. Thanks, Professor Ganon!

Tray in hand, Journey wandered toward the seating area, scanning for a place to sit. It was still fairly early for dinnertime, so she had a lot of options. A smaller table would suffice as it was just herself. Save the bigger ones for people meeting up with friends. And one that wasn't directly next to an occupied one so as to not make a person feel crowded, intruded upon, or uncomfortable. Journey may be a social butterfly, but she understood and respected the fact that not some people were the complete opposite.
A guy walking toward her on his way out spoke up to give his admiration for the VR visor resting on the top of Journey's head. "Awesome retro visor! Real, or reproduction?"
"Thanks! Real," she said proudly as the paths were just meeting up. Not that there was anything wrong with the lookalike reproductions with today's technology, but she and other fellow geeks had an even greater appreciation for real, collectible originals.
"So jealous," he said with a good-natured grin as he moved passed her and continued on his way.
Journey chuckled. 'If only he knew they were the visors used by the Parzival to win the Halliday's easter egg hunt,' she thought with a secret smile.
Continuing on her way to a table, her usual friendly smile given to anyone she happened to make eye contact with had more of a glow after the simple interaction. Journey recognizing a few familiar faces from classes, but none of which she'd had a chance to strike up a conversation with. So she settled on her own at a two-seater, placing her tray on the table and her bag on the floor next to her.
Journey adjusted the visor on her head as she pulled her data pad from her bag. She grabbed her fork with one hand as she powered up the device to continue reading a thread on Mario World tips written by users in one of the OASIS forums.

***Morrigan enters from her dorm***
Morrigan was talking the break as an opportunity to stretch her mind and made a b line straight to an energy drink that advertised itself as one that improved concertration and focus. She knew they were mostly BS claims with buzzword ingredients but the placebo effect could be a powerful thing. Now that she had her drink she was going to sit somewhere and work on some equations and skim some neuro science questions to defrag her brain from all the code she had been staring at in her room. She made her way through the tables, the frills of her gothic dress bouoncing with her step. Avoiding the bulk of the people Morrigan made her way towards a much less crowded spot swinging her coffin shaped back down to her front she opened it while walking and pulled out a computer science book she would be working from. Trying to swing the book her bag back up to her shoulder while not paying attention proved to be harder than expected as the bag was meet with a short stop and a thud. Morrigans eyes rolled as she turned to look at what was getting in her way. What turned into a who and that who was wearing a visor on her head, not just any visor but a retro visor, one in incredible shape. What she wouldnt given to crack open a true proper retro device and dig into the secrets of its code. Although maybe this could be a chance to get some insight into one causing Morrigan to move into action.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you with my bag. I knew I should of waited until I sat down before studying." Morrigan apologized with feigned sincerity.

Journey was absorbed in a post she'd been reading on the second Mario World level they'd be starting on today when something conked her on the side of the head and knocked her visor half onto her face. Adjusting the visor back onto her head, she turned to see what had swooped at her, her eyes settling on a tiny coffin, then moving upward to the face of the person who held it just as she was apologizing.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you with my bag. I knew I should of waited until I sat down before studying."
"Totally okay," Journey reassured with a smile, resisting the urge to rub the spot on her head in order to avoid making the girl feel worse. "It's good to have some sense knocked into you every now and again," she said, making light of the situation. Journey was trying to place why the girl looked familiar and when her eyes went to the computer science book in the girl's hand, she realized why. Or at least, one of the places she'd seen her on a few occasions. "Oh hey, I think we're in the same Computer Science class," she said, always glad to have a commonality that gave her a connection and therefore, reason to socialize with someone.

"Oh hey, I think we're in the same Computer Science class,"
It was entirely possible, Morrigan couldn't say for sure since she hadn't bothered to memorize any one in the class. Why waste the resources on such pointless frivolties.
"Oh true, I would say I recognize you but I'm just so busy trying to keep my head above water ya know. All that information just gets a bit like blah in the brain."
Morrigan placed her hand on the back of the seat opposite Journey, "Do you mind if I sit?"

"Oh true, I would say I recognize you but I'm just so busy trying to keep my head above water ya know. All that information just gets a bit like blah in the brain."
"I totally get it. Everyone's so much in their own heads these days," Journey reassured, appreciating the girl's honesty when most people would try to give some form of excuse or pretend they do recognize them to make the other person feel better when really, there wasn't any reason anyone should--or probably even would--feel bad about not being remembered by someone who was basically a stranger.
"Do you mind if I sit?"
"Oh, please do! I'd love some company," she said enthusiastically with a welcoming smile. Journey pulled her tray closer to herself as well as her data pad, going out of her way to be as welcoming as possible by giving the girl as much room as possible. "My name's Journey," she said as the girl settled across from her.
