Predictably, when Thomas had ended up applying to colleges earlier in the year, he'd ended up in the business major. Not even he was going to deny Bruce's influence on that. Not that he minded, it was flexible enough and gave him space to dabble in both computer science and art history as he pleased, the latter he'd probably make a minor later on though.

The whole thing felt kind of funny. New universe, new school, new job, and well, okay fine, he didn't have friends. Maybe that'd change. But at least the internship gig in WE's security design department was more flexible than his job at the zoo, even if he would miss feeding those tigers.

Walking along with the sub he'd bought for lunch, Thomas strolls around campus looking for somewhere to eat.

	Dinah offered them both a grin, not jumping in the least at Thomas's bat-arrival. "Hey, Ezra, Thomas. Didn't know you guys were going here either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He didn't expect her to jump, she was far too used to bat appearances for that. "Hey, didn't know you knew Ezra. I just started. Year off and all." No need to explain why when she knew. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, back in elementary school," Ezra keeps it simple. He also politely doesn't press about how Dinah and Thomas know each other. He does, however, trace a 'D!' onto his arm, in case any of his enthusiasm crosses over and Evan wonders what's up. "Hey, are you in Electronic Systems and Switching Theory? We can make a club of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, so Thomas and her knew who each other were, and Ez and she knew who each other was, but Thomas and Ez didn't know about each other. Nnh. Stupid secret identities. "Thomas is a family friend," she explained. A nod. "Yeah. Sounds like a good plan to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quite the conundrum. Thomas holds back an amused smile, 'family friend' was a simply way of putting a complicated thing that involved alternate universes. "A study group?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"For a special definition of 'study group', yeah. I'm sure you know, Thomas, that Dinah doesn't need help with her homework in this field, and as it happens, I don't either, but it could still be fun to do it together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Evan was off-campus getting breakfast when he felt first the emotion, and then the imprint of the "D" on his arm.

"Oh for the love of..better get over there." He gets out of line and heads across the street. He quickly made his way over to where Ezra was and yes indeed, there was Dinah. And some other guy...

"Dinah," Evan said, friendly enough, at least by Evan standards.

	"Ez is a good guy," Dinah said. "Don't get to see him nearly often enough." She smiled when she saw Evan. "Or his brother either. Hey, Ev." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-09-02 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	He does chuckle a little at the idea of Dinah needing homework help. "No, I don't think any of us need help but I won't object to doing it together." He sees the new guy come, clearly the brother of this one, and shoots a friendly smile. "Hi. Thomas," he offers his hand to Evan with the introduction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2012-09-02 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey!" Clearly, Evan cannot resist the lure of Dinah either. And who could blame him? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2012-09-02 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	Evan wasn't the people person Ezra was, but he wasn't rude either. He shook his hand. "Evan." Evan subtlely shoots Ezra a look, but doesn't get into it in front of others. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Always good to have an excuse to hang with friends," Dinah said. "...Though the help with homework excuse never quite seemed to work when the subject of Riley came up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-09-02 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	He hadn't met this Riley officially but from the stories he's heard...the guy didn't seem too bright. But this was not the company to comment on that in. "Nice to meet you Evan. You go here too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2012-09-02 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Ezra's slightly less subtle. "There's a thousand jokes that begin with Riley doing his homework, but I'm not quite good enough to tell any of them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2012-09-02 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	"No, I work at the auto shop down the street. Oh lord, he went there. Evan shot Ezra a quick "I can't believe you just said that" look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2012-09-02 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	"He's really not as bad as people think he is," Dinah insisted. "Oh! That's great, Ev. How long you been doing that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-09-02 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Doesn't sound bad, certainly a useful skill," he comments to avoid saying anything about Dinah's boyfriend that...was missing something upstairs as some people said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkept 2012-09-02 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	Ezra just returns Evan's look with a 'but there /are/' look, innocently blinking. "Evan's great at that stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2012-09-03 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"Not that long, maybe a couple of months," Evan replied. "I try," he says, unwilling to brag about his abilities." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bwa_ha_ha 2012-09-03 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"Well good for you, Ev!" Dinah bubbled. The Riley commentary would be ignored for now. She knew how people thought about him. But fighting over it right now wouldn't do anyone any good. "Good skill to have. Never been much good with cars." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-09-03 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"Cars are fascinating. But I'd say motorcycles are pretty fun too." Okay, given the way he pretty much stunt drives them, it wasn't weird he thought that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brotherkeeper 2012-09-03 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"It's not my expertise, but I've worked on motorcycles before." (Reply to this)(Parent)
