Room 227, Sunday Morning

It was just one of those weeks where Natalie found herself trying to be productive almost all the damn time. Not for the sake of productivity itself, but to keep her head together and the too hard thoughts at bay. And this morning's chosen method of distraction (combined with getting away from the campgrounds for a while) was laundry, for which she'd trekked back to the dorms, Peter trailing along with her. He probably didn't have a whole lot else to be doing, anyway, and besides... someone to talk to was a distraction in itself.

Natalie had a load of laundry going downstairs, and was sorting through some of her existing clean clothes to take back with her to the campgrounds.

"It really should have been just one week in the castles."

A Roller Skating Rink, Baltimore, Late Sunday Afternoon

Natalie needed to be doing something. Yeah, she'd done laundry earlier but she needed to be doing something else. Something productive in another way. She'd been stuck in a gloomy rut for a while now and especially after some of the things she'd voiced to Peter earlier, she seriously needed a change. She wanted to do something that would net her a bunch of points. A challenge.

And why had she picked going out to try roller skating? Pretty much by chance. Just because she'd watched some bit of anime recently where people were skating and it seemed like a thing to do. It was a great excuse to go off the island, too. Maybe she needed that, and couldn't wait until next week.

As for her companion, no, she hadn't actually asked Jim to come with her. But she'd run into him as she'd been leaving, and hadn't told him he couldn't come when he'd decided to alleviate his boredom by tagging along.

So here they were, entering an establishment that looked a little bit like it had fallen straight out of the eighties. "Well, so far this is exactly what I expected."
