Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday late afternoon

Maybe it was surprising, but Bruce's first move once he was back in Fandom wasn't to spend the whole day in the cave. There was plenty of time for that coming up in the next few days. For now, the most important thing was figuring out his new routine. With Spring Break marking a rough halfway point to the end of the semester, he needed to work out priorities and how they fit into his schedule during the remaining stretch run.

So, of course, he had a day planner with all of the unavoidable planned distractions over the next couple of months (prom, finals, a few floating weekends for unspecified insanity), and some time for off-island training, regular class work, that kind of stuff.

The biggest change to his previous planning was making sure he scheduled some time for social behavior instead of just letting it happen when he needed a break. The fact that this was likely to be the last stretch of time where he would ever have a relatively normal life had come into sharp focus for Bruce recently. And with that came the realization that it might not be a bad idea to actually experience relative normalcy in a somewhat genuine way rather than putting on a complete facade like he was accustomed to.

It was that line of thinking that had him buying drinks for a whole bar in Rio. Twice. And now it resulted in his bringing pizza to the common room and turning on Oscars pre-show coverage so that people could have a meal, some entertainment, and not focus on the day planner.
