Fifth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had tried to go to bed early, she really had. But a combination of a headache plus excitement over the new students the next day had made it difficult for her to shield, thus making sleep all but impossible.

So instead, she'd taken some ibuprofen and headed out to the common room in her pajamas, and turned on something godawful on MTV about dating and really tan people (hush, bad TV took her mind off...other people's minds) and puttered around in the kitchen until she'd produced some popcorn. (Unburnt, even.)

With that, she settled in front of the television, waiting for either everyone else to go to sleep, or for her head to clear enough that she could shield. Watching people with too much jewelry and too few clothes fight over wholly undesirable partners would probably help, she thought.
