Meanwhile, in the second floor common room ...

Yawning, Jubilee shuffles into the common room holding a bag of popcorn and a gigantic bottle of root beer like a pair of beloved teddy bears. Her hair is sticking up funny, and she's wearing a pair of flannel PJs with rubber chickens on them and purple bunny slippers.

She rubs sleepily at her eyes, even though her inability to go to bed is what's led to her being here, and flops down on one of the couches. She sprawls out on the couch, grabbing the remote for the TV. Stuffing a handful of popcorn into her mouth, she flips on the TV, only to turn it on in the middle of a nature special on elephants ... currently, their mating habits.

"... EW."

EDIT: And now we're watching Press Your Luck. Yay for bad '70s game shows!

*strolls by*

Huh. Never knew elephants were *that* flexible.

*eyes Jubilee*

Didn't know you wanted to be the next Steve Irwin either.

Jubilee makes a face. "Yeah, thanks, but no thanks. I don't think I could live without color in my wardrobe. Or, you know, common sense."

She changes the channel to the Game Show Network. "Want to watch Press Your Luck with me?" she says as brightly as possible, holding out the open bag of popcorn.

Veronica wonders if John knows he's John again.

"Hey," she says with a smile, sitting near him.

[chasingangela]

Angela flushes when she notices John on the couch. She goes over and leans down next to him.

"Hey, I got your voice mail," she says, trying to keep her voice even. "And ... um. I'm sorry. I didn't really know what was going to happen ... not that that's an excuse, but... Yeah. I'm sorry."

Anakin's cutting through the second floor on the way to the stairs closer to his room when he spots her in the common room.

"Hi," he says, then nods up at the television. "Are they doing what I think they're doing?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jubilation_lee/]

"Not anymore, they're not," Jubilee says, grimacing. She points at the screen, where somebody just lost all their money to the Whammy. "Want to watch stupid people lose their money to a dancing cartoon gremlin?"

[joan-not-jane.livejournal.com]

*wanders by and stares at the elephants for a moment, and then shakes her head quickly*

Um. Okay. Eww.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

That was pretty gross, huh? Not sure what was worse... the elephants or this game show. *extends hand* I'm Charlie Kawalsky.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

*wanders in and leans against the couch, glancing at the TV*

Hey, whatcha watchi...oh that's nasty.

*tilts head* Yeah, I'm gonna have nightmares now.

*looks over at Root Beer Girl* Hey, how ya doin? I'm Charlie.

"Well, we've moved on from the elephants -- which, not enough EWWWW in the world, okay? -- and went to Press Your Luck reruns. That guy --" Jubilee points to a contestant with an unfortuante Afro. "-- is going to lose all of his money, and the diamond necklace, and the Winnebago. And then he'll cry. A lot. Maybe there'll be a nervous breakdown and some rage killings. You know, if I wish hard enough."

Then she beams up at him. "Hi, I'm Jubilee. Weren't you the guy singing half-naked in the courtyard last night?"

*walks by carrying an awful lot of what suspiciously looks like breaking-and-entering material*

*notices TV*

Hey party people! Anything good on??

*plops everything down and then plops himself down*

OOH! Popcorn! *is cheerful*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jubilation_lee/]

"Yup, we're watching old game shows," Jubilee says, handing off some popcorn. "Just remember, it was a really good thing to win a hundred bucks in the seventies. You could buy, like, a mansion and a pony and a butler."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica pokes her head in the Common Room door on her way back from River's room.

"Jubes! Where have you been? I haven't seen you in ages."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin sees the blonde in the doorway and waves her over. "We watching a mysterious gremlin steal people's money and hoping that someone cries on television. Come join us!"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jubilation_lee/]

"Oh, you know ... getting eaten by lockers, taking stupid science quizzes, plotting world domination. The usual." Jubilee offers up some popcorn and gestures towards the TV screen. "Want to hang out? I've got ten bucks that says that lady with the scary mullet is going to lose all her money to a bunch of Whammies. And just to make it interesting, I'll put it on them jumping her in the alley on the way home from the studio."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Wandering in, he wanders over to the group and watches over the back of the couch, surprised. "We get the Game Show Network here?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Apparently," Kawalsky answers. "I don't get the rules, but hey, it's better than the elephants going at it." He extends his hand. "Kawalsky."

[absolutesnark]

*wanders by the common room, blinking at what's on the tv*

Not something you see everyday...

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica looks up.

"Piper, right? Come, sit down and mock bad 70s game shows with us!"

[02maxwell.livejournal.com]

*gets message from ihatedenmark*

Uh, uh-oh.

*grabs all his stuff that looks suspiciously like breaking-and-entering material*

Gotta go! Catch y'all later!

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

See ya, guy whose name I don't know!

*makes a note to ask the guy his name next time*

[OOC - hey Jubes - maybe you should edit the main post to say we're watching GSN now...]

Anders pokes his head into the common room and lights up at the sight of a familiar, non-Colonial face. "Hey, Jubilee. What's going on over the broadwave -- er . . . on TV?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jubilation_lee/]

"Really bad game shows, and lots of 'em," Jubilee says with a grin. "Want to come join us?"

[chasingangela]

Angela plops down at the end of the couch. "Is Family Feud on any time soon? That was my favorite 'cause it had, like, the dumbest people."

She waves to Veronica and Piper.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica notices Angela and waves for her to come over and join them.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna wanders by the room on her way to the clinic.

"What's that, TV, right? But, it's a different thing then what was on last night. Do they have different shows every night? I'm confused."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders waves at the girl he doesn't recognize. "Confused? Yeah, join the club."

cont'd for veronica & kawalsky

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I did hear that there was a beach, but I haven't had time to check it out. What are you doing tomorrow?"

Re: cont'd for veronica & kawalsky

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Tries to recall what tomorrow is. "Sunday," he says to himself. "Don't have anything planned. Want to check it out?"

*a robot dog wanders in to the common room*

"...arf?"

(OOC: RIC is Bridge's dog, apparently he is currently doing recon on the dorms)
