Longing for pavement..

[starcrossed]

[Thread for Ryu, lol!]

Carrie carefully picked her way across the grass, wincing at practically each step and looking down at her shoes in concern. Aside from these gold sandals, she wore a pair of shimmering white pants and a faint gold top. Completing the outfit was a white beret set at a jaunty angle atop her curly hair. Finally - taking great pains to avoid areas bare of grass and plentiful of dirt - she reached the Earth quidditch stands and made her way up. At the top, she sighed happily at the lovely view, but her brow furrowed in puzzlement. "What on earth do they use it for?" she asked aloud to herself.

Sam was sitting in the stand with is legs rested on the seat in front in the back reading a muggle newspaper in a black jeans a t-shit combo that looks just a bit to big for him on the front of the t-shit read join the dark side and the back read we have cookies "Its so you can watch the game " he said with a friendly smile as he looked up from his newspaper
(sorry i must have just went offline as you posted it was like 2:50 am here lol)

[starcrossed]

[Lol, it's fine]

Carrie turned around and said, "Oh - I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." She smiled, then looked puzzled again and asked, "The game? What game could you possibly see from all the way up here?"

[Ryu]

"Quidditch ... what eles would it be baseball?" he said without thinking"oh you don't know what Quidditch is do you?" he says as he folds his newspaper and sets it to his side

[starcrossed]

Carrie shrugged. "You got me. I'm not exactly up with the sports thing."

[Ryu]

"Well you play it on a broom and its kinda confusing..." he says as he gets up and pulls his gloves tugs on his black gloves and holds out his hand "i'm Sam"

[starcrossed]

Carrie giggled slightly and said, "A broom? Are you pulling my leg?" She held out her hand to shake Sam's and said, "Carrie Bradshaw. Nice to meet you."

[Ryu]

"Nice to meet ya Alice and No...a broom ... I take it your new to this school... and magic in general?" As he shakes her hand

[starcrossed]

"Completely," Carrie said with a nod. "I thought it was just the thing of novels and movies until about a month ago."

[Ryu]

" so i bet your thinking this place is a freak show ... i know so many people who thought that ..."sam says with a little smile"so what brings you to this freak show ??"

[starcrossed]

"Oh, I've seen weirder things," Carrie said with a grin. "Central Park after dark is pretty much a crazy convention. As for me, apparently I can control fire. What about you?"

[Ryu]

"we-i can do a few things...I can take other peoples energy so i can take other peoples powers " he says with a crooked smile

[starcrossed]

Carrie thinks about this for a minute, then says, "Huh - that must be pretty interesting."

[Ryu]

"Well i purpose it is but i have to always where this damn gloves... i cant control what powers i take...it happens on skin contact " sam smiles a little "So what houses are you in ??"

[starcrossed]

"I'm in Earth. You?" Carrie carefully brushed off one of the seats, making sure there wasn't a single speck of dirt on it before she sat down.

[Ryu]

"Ohh I'm in air, but i like the earth stands better" he says with a chuckle " so when did you get here?"

[starcrossed]

"Two days ago - I'm still jet-lagged," Carrie said wryly.

[Ryu]

"wow so you really are new!" he says with surprise "meet any cool people yet?"

[starcrossed]

"Well, the day I got here I met this girl, Erika, from the Fire house. She's already saved my life once by pulling some strings to make sure I get my fixes of Cosmopolitan and Vogue. I would have died if I'd had to go without the entire time I was here." She looked thoughtful, then added, "I wonder if she knows someone who could get me The New Yorker now and then.."

[Ryu]

"Oh you what a muggle newspaper? i might know someone who can get them i read muggle papers allot" he says with a hopeful smile
