A Roller Skating Rink, Baltimore, Late Sunday Afternoon

[whenshewasnice]

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."
