Just Like Old Times [Open to LWs]

It was just like old times, wasn't it? The skateboards lined up against the wall, Jeremie's scooter right next to them, and Odd couldn't help but smile, sweeping up his own, and throwing it down in a run. It was an easy jump over to the other side of the sewer, before he skidded to a stop, propping his skateboard up again as he carefully climbed the old ladder, shoving at the manhole cover and emerging onto the bridge.

Ah, the bridge. Long time, no see, with the factory looming just ahead. It had been quite a bit, hadn't it?

Slipping the cover back in place, the blond raced the familiar steps across the bridge, before, upon reaching the factory, he slipped down the rope as usual, landing neatly, and then into the elevator he went. A couple times, he had had nightmares about this thing breaking down, way back when, but Odd was pretty sure that Jeremie had, like, double checked it and everything, made sure it wasn't going to break down, had fixed it up if it was, all that. Good on Einstein.

But then it was time to emerge into the Control Room, and a frown tugged at his lips. It was just so... weird, seeing it like this. No giant glowing map of Lyoko, no monitor on, no lights... It wasn't supposed to be all dark like this, not at all.

He wasn't quite sure what brought him here today (Okay, yeah, he was sort of hiding from Jim at the moment, and here was a perfect spot to wait until he cooled down), but now that he was here... Man, he missed Lyoko! Maybe he could convince Jeremie to turn it back on so they could screw around in there, or something? It'd be fuuuuun.

Deciding that actually might not be a bad idea (He'd have to get someone else on his side, though, Aelita, perhaps? Maaaaybe Ulrich...), the smallest of the Warriors lightly skipped over to Jeremie's chair, plopping down into it, even as he pulled his video game from his pocket. Aaah, this was kinda comfy, lucky Einstein...
