There are times — rare, but they exist — that living in the Compound actually proves to be an inconvenience. On the whole, Jenny prefers it by far to the possibility of living out on her own in the middle of the jungle, especially having a roommate here that she considers herself fairly close to, but for all that the building itself tends to be a center of activity, it also leaves her a place apart from everything, often oblivious to things that happen until after the fact. So it is with this particular change of the island's. Having no Saturday classes, Jenny had slept in as she's found herself prone to doing on days off, taken her time in getting dressed and leaving the room, only to overhear, after wandering into a notably quiet kitchen, someone mention to someone else about rides outside, after which, of course, she'd made her way outside, only to find the whole island seemingly transformed, and herself finding out about it probably hours after the fact.
Now, of course, she really has no choice but to make up for all that lost time. Jenny hasn't been on the island for very long, comparatively speaking, but she's been around enough to know that this probably won't last, and she means to take advantage of it while she can. She's never really even seen anything like this; there was the occasional nearby fair back home, but nothing remotely to this scale, everything big and bright and updated from her own time. Between the rides and the food, she's barely been able to figure out where to start, wanting to try absolutely anything. She'll probably wear herself out, but it will be worth it. She can always take tomorrow for schoolwork, anyway.
She's wandering down the boardwalk, looking for the start of a ride with a container of popcorn in one hand, when she catches sight of Cameron a little ways off, and then she's practically beaming, smile pulled even wider than the island's present state has been able to prompt from her. "Cameron!" she calls, bright, bouncing on the balls of her feet before she heads in his direction, not even bothering to try to look less pleased. "This is wonderful, isn't it?"
