Third Floor Common Room - Wednesday Morning

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

After waking up at the decadent hour of 8:30ish in the morning, Neil grabbed a shower. He had spent most of that shower trying not to whiskey tango foxtrot at the rubber duckie -someone had left in the shower- as it waddled around his feet, and then after pulling on pressed slacks, dress shirt, tie and sweater, he headed down to the common room to investigate the possibility of some breakfast.

It was snowing, granted only a light snow but snow all the same and to Neil's northern bred mind that meant it was a good day for some bacon, oatmeal, tea and toast. All of these were items he could actually cook. He'd seen people microwave bacon but with a shrug pulled out a skillet to do it the way he'd learned from his mother. The instant oatmeal was also set aside for working with the real stuff and toast, it always toast.

Turning on the radio to keep him company as he cooked, Neil chuckled along with the morning program as he set about frying the bacon.

Shooting range: Wednesday morning

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack had given Irulan a call yesterday, and arranged to meet her at the range for practice after he got out of Spy Tech.

He conscientiously posted the rules (mostly because if he didn't, he had a feeling Parker would know, and visit unspecified harm upon him) -

SAFETY RULES:

· TREAT ALL GUNS AS IF THEY WERE LOADED

· KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL READY TO FIRE

· BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT’S BEYOND

· ALWAYS WEAR HEARING AND EYE PROTECTION

· NEVER USE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS BEFORE OR WHILE SHOOTING.

· CHECK IN ALL WEAPONS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE RANGE.

- then geared up, grabbed a gun, and amused himself by trying to hit the target with one eye closed while he waited for Irulan.

It wasn't going well.

Fifth floor common room, Wednesday evening

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had set herself up in the kitchen with a large pot full of a watered-down mix of black ink, dye, and latex paint, and lots and lots of newspaper.

She was currently attempting to get the stuffed, winged pink pony into the pot.

"No, no, it's lots of fun, I promise!"

"It doesn't look very nice or happy or friendly," the pony would reply.

"Just get in the pot!"

"Why don't we play Candyland instead?" asked the pony.

It wasn't going well.

Outside room 409 - Wednesday night

It was all quiet in the corridor and River could hear herself breathing. The dreams were still vivid in her mind, but they weren't noisy. They were deathly quiet. She was shaking uncontrollably, but finally managed a knock on Blair's door.

He had told her she could come. "Blair?"

Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[dark_slippy_thing]

It had taken the better part of the day to strike a deal with the possessed juggling balls, but eventually Valentine had been able to reason his way out of certain doom with the trio of disgruntled spheres.
The agreement was simple, really. They wouldn't bounce on him until he was a squishy mass of Valentine goo, and he wouldn't juggle them for the rest of the day. He could live with that.
So, there Valentine was, in his slightly pie-encrusted coat and clothing that otherwise wasn't actually his, chilling on the couch with his trio of disgruntled ball buddies and flipping through the channels.
He wasn't sure if anything was on, really. He just liked to see the stations blink from one to the next.

Gym - Cheerpractice, Wednesday Afternoon After Classes [Jan 24]

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely looked only slightly bemused as he set the gym up for cheerleading practice.

"Okay, due to being attacked by some creep, Buffy asked me to run things today," he said once the other cheerleaders had arrived. "Now, I haven't exactly done one of these before, so how about we all split into our teams and practice some stunts?"

[Wait for OCD threads up!]

Third Floor Common Room; Late Wednesday Night.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad...wasn't getting any sleep tonight. While the dinos were tired from their adventures in Empire, Shinobu and Vincente decided to have a party on his bed, jumping and dancing in plushy cactus and teal deer silence. He didn't mind, so long as their crazy antics weren't disturbing Katara. He'd just go to the common room for a bit, with his Carnivore Kingdom DVDs and some popcorn.
