Jenny is up entirely too early. She's yawning and in search of coffee when she spots one of the students. "Hey."

OOC: I have a kidlet around. Slowplay OK?

Mac grins and raises a hand in greeting, "Morning," she then gestures to the plate in front of her, "the food here, is so good. I love England already".

Jenny nods and tries to cover another yawn with her mug of coffee. "It looks like seriously good food. And the place is beautiful. Got any plans for the day?"

"This hotel is certainly very... shiny. Makes me a little nervous to actually touch anything." She took another sip of tea, "I think I might check out Camden Market, Oxford Street, something more touristy maybe. I have to see if I can pick up some souvenirs to take back home. My brother will bug me forever unless I don't at least bring him back a shirt or something. How about you?"

"I was thinking the Tower of London," said Jenny. She grinned. "Historical and with a nice, icky history behind it. Plus I've gotta find a grocery store. A friend of mine back at Fandom Town wants Jaffa Cakes, whatever those are."

Mac smiled, "Yeah, I hear the tower of London has a some facinating exibits on at the moment, pretty gory, but interesting. I was looking up about some of the stuff I should check out on the internet before we left."

She looked a little puzzled, "Uh, what exactly are Jaffa cakes?" Mac asked ~~while her mun giggles and munches on some~~.

"Yeah, there are some great webpages out there if you know the right places to look," said Jenny. "And gory? Well, I like a good horror movie as much as the next gal."

Jenny shrugged and looked helpless. "No clue. You think some poor English grocer will take pity on me? ~~Mmm, yummy!~~"

"I had a bit of fun looking up things on Friday night." Mac smiled, "I just love watching bad horror films, mainly for the fun of sitting and mocking the effects. As of fandom, I feel like an expert."

"You'd think your friend could have given you some clue." She shrugged. "I'm sure there's bound to be someone willing to help you out with that one anyway."

"What'd you hunt up that was looking good?" asked Jenny. She grinned. "The best? Are the cheesy ol' werewolf movies where the wold just sort of looks like an ape. And yeah, I'd say these sorts of movies prep you for fandom pretty well."

"He would have, but he got distracted." Jenny grinned. "Rupert runs the bookstore in town, and unfortunately, a good translation caught his eye and he was lost to the world for a while."

"Those are always a winner, that and the ones with psycho-killers and the ditzy prey who always goes and hides in the dark rather than just running." She chuckled, "I usually end up telling the screen how stupid whatever it is they're doing is."

"I can't believe there's a bookshop in town, and I didn't even realise it yet. Just shows that I don't get out into town enough." Mac took another bite of apple, swallowed it and added, "that's been added to my list of places to check out when we get back."

"Running is always your best option," said Jenny. Problem was? Sometimes it wasn't enough. But, hey, not a thing to scare one of the kids with. "I toss popcorn at the screen. Only problem is cleaning those grease stains off after."

"Aeropagitica, over on Minotaur Lane." She took another drink of her coffee. "Rupert Giles is the proprietor. He knows what he's talking about when it comes to books, but warning?" Jenny grinned. "He'd terrified of computers."

"I say, if its larger than you and has sharp teeth, then run. I feel that's a good rule to live by." She shrugged, "It's worked okay for me so far."

"He's terrified of computers?" Mac looks entirely puzzled by that outlook, "well someone has got to try and change that one. I barely travel anywhere without my laptop, useful in all situations."

"Smart of you," said Jenny. She blinked. "You haven't run into that much that's larger than you with sharp teeth, have you?"

Jenny snickered. "Has been since I've known him, at least," she said. "And believe me, I've tried." Though since I haven't seen him in eight years, things might've changed.

"Well... no not much, just those snow-monsters and one vampire." She shrugged, "I figure in fandom though, you should really be prepared for all kinds of eventuality."

Mac laughed, "well, I'll have to drop in there sometime, so while I'm there I might as well try to explain the virtues of computers."
