Second Floor Common Room, Thursday Morning

[arsenicmauls]

After talking all through class, Gert was pretty exhausted, so she returned to the dorms, trekked up to the common room and flopped on the couch, only remembering after several moments had gone by that she actually needed to fumble for the remote in order to get the TV to play anything.

Eventually she settled on a weird, weird animated movie about a bunch of ranch horses that had gotten fed up with their owners riding them around all the time and took off for the wilderness instead to found their own republican government. It was oddly compelling. Probably at least in part because Gert had been really into horses as a child, but no one else needed to know that embarrassing fact, thanks.
