ooc: This post is open to everyone. It's complete bendy time too. Feel free to drop by, chat with one another and have fun!

The San Diego convention center was filled with all sorts of exhibits, panels and vendors selling all sorts of collectibles. There seemed to be so much to do and tons of events worth seeing.

"I'm finally here," Chuck commented out loud to no one in particular.

Chuck glances around the room and sees a familiar face in the crowd. He smiles and waves Sarah over to come join him and his friends.

Sarah walks over by Chuck still looking around observing as many people as she can in the room. "So this is Comic-Con, huh?"

Chuck nods, grinning ear to ear. "I got to go last year too and Hiro and I were really looking forward to going this year for quite awhile now."

He looks around a bit, noticing some of the overeager fans nearby. "Not everyone is quite as...um...well, 'out there' as some folks." He motions towards a couple of these fans as he says this.

Chuck then pulls out a copy of his Comic-Con schedule. "Say...uh, did you maybe...I dunno, wanna see something in particular while you were here? There's some movie screenings and show panels and stuff in addition to the comic book stuff. Hiro, Jack and I are going to head to the Gene Roddenberry project panel next and Jack wants to see the Superman one later today."

As he hands the schedule to Sarah, he jokes, "Maybe something Star Wars related?" remembering Sarah's Halloween costume.

"That cartoon bothers me...I mean why couldn't George Lucas just leave well enough alone?" Sarah asks completely seriously, then really hoped Casey didn't decide to listen in on them today. she'd never hear the end of it if he did. "That might be good though, a panel could convince me to go see it."

Chuck seems a bit surprised by Sarah's serious comment on Star Wars and a pleased grin appears. "It kinda looks cool but at the same time the characters look like N64 graphics. I...guess they did this movie cuz fans kinda complained Episode II sorta...well, sucked," Chuck replied with a shrug.

He glances at the schedule and comments, "All of Friday is a Star Wars day. There's a panel about the new movie from 4-5 then called 'The Saga Continues: Star Wars 2008' with some previews and Q & A then."

"Episode two did suck....don't get me started on the 'love' scenes" Sarah said with a small smirk. "How about the one from 4-5?"

Chuck snickers and then in a near monotone voice quotes the 'You love me? I thought we had decided not to fall in love.' line.

Then composing himself, he circles the 'Star Wars 2008' panel on his schedule. "We'll definitely go see that one, yeah."

Sarah smiled at Chuck's impression, "I think that was better than the way it was acted in the movie...can't wait for the panel."

"Yeah...but c'mon...how hard is it to out act 'Mannequin' Skywalker?" Chuck replies with a grin. "And I'm definitely looking forward to that panel too."

He glances about a bit. "Oh hey...I dunno if you know Jack Shephard but...well, I know you know Hiro already and I came here with both Hiro and Jack. And...maybe I could introduce him to you too."

Jack had been surveying a Star Trek display, trying to quickly familiarize himself with all he could before the panel. He didn't want to be caught asking another embarrassing question.

When he hears his name, he perks and finds Chuck talking with a woman he didn't recognize. "Hi," he says awkwardly, not knowing how to go about this introduction, "I'm that Jack guy Chuck was talking about."

"Jack, this is my girlfriend, Sarah Walker," Chuck replies, glancing a bit at Sarah when he says 'girlfriend.'

Hoping no one notice that awkward glance, Chuck adds quickly to start another conversation, "Jack had been mentioning there was this Superman panel he wanted to see."

[not-a-savage.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Sarah. It's nice to meet you, Chuck's mentioned you quite a few times. All good stuff though, I promise."

At the mention of Superman, Jack shuffles a bit. "Yeah, um, that's Chuck being nice. I feel like I'm in way over my head as it is. I'm the idiot who didn't know Gene Roddenberry."

"You'll be fine, Jack," Chuck says, attempting to reassure his friend. "Besides, now you know."
