2nd Floor Common Room (evening)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory toddled out into the common room, curled up on the couch in her new pajamas and slippers she had gotten from Jake, and began randomly flipping through channels.

She finally settled on Amélie. She had the strange feeling that there should be a bear in the story, though she was really unsure why.

Sam poked her head in, then followed it with the rest of her. "Hey, Rory. How's your night going?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good," Rory nodded. "Yours?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

She sat down in one of the chairs, careful again because of the sunburn. "Okay. Spent the day reading."

She glanced over at the screen. "Is that a bear?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Is it?" Rory asked excitedly, frantically hitting the pause button. She sighed. "Nope. Just some random, large, hairy French guy."

She glanced over at Sam as she hit play again. "What did you read?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Stupid random hairy French guy." Sam pouted at the screen. "Bears are awesome."

"I read most of Shutter Island this afternoon. Great book, but not one you really want to read after dark. It's a terrific psychological thriller. Don't read the end first."

Callisto wandered into the common room, since it was much more interesting than the one on the third floor. "Hey."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam waved from her spot on the chair, in no way trying to figure out what kind of information Kawalsky might have on the other girl. "Evening, Callisto. Heard you did a heck of a job on the radio last night."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Evening Sam. It was fun, except for someone," Callisto did not glare at Rory. "Deciding to blab about certain things on air that she shouldn't have."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory arched a brow and attempted to look very innocent.

"Moi? I did nothing."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto gave Rory a Look. "No, you only told everyone in Fandom about Angel and me."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam raised an eyebrow in question, but decided not to ask.

For a few minutes' change of pace, Anders wandered into the common room (but not before leaving a note for Cally this time) with a freshly-purchased batch of cupcakes in hand, and spotted Rory, Sam, and Callisto.

"Hey, guys. I bring sugary goodness."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Cupcakes YAY!" Rory said, springing over the back of the couch and in no way fleeing over to Anders and out of Callisto's reach.

She just really liked cupcakes.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Whoa!" Caught off guard, Anders was nearly bowled over by Rory in her headlong charge for the cupcakes. "Chill, Gilmore, there's plenty to go around!"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I, um...just haven't had cupcakes in like, forever," Rory said, affecting a light tone. "Thanks, Anders."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Hey Anders!" Callisto was not glad of the distraction value of cupcakes. At all.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Callisto!" Anders tossed a cupcake at her -- thankfully he did have the good sense to toss it, and not try and lob it like a Pyramid ball. "How's it goin' tonight?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Alright, we were just dicussing relative cuteness of things. Anders," Callisto asked sweetly. "What do you think of Rory and Anakin?"

In addition to emo-sense, Bridge also seems to posess cupcake-dar.

"Dudes!" he says cheerfully as he bounces into the room and grabs a cupcake, eating it in two bites. "Howf ith goin?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hey, dude!" Anders waves and laughs. "How'd I know you'd show up at the sign of cupcakes?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge tilts his head and, after a moment of consideration, shoots up a hand as if in class. "Ooh, ooh, I know! I know!"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Bridgey!" Rory said gleefully. "How are you?"

She may have looked a tiny bit desperate.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Bored," he says with a shrug. "You?"

[blueskin-mystiq.livejournal.com]

Mystique looks in and perks up at the sight of cupcakes. She grabs one and settles into a chair.

Lockheed was going to bring the remaining cookies from downstairs when he smelled the cupcakes.

He felt that his sugar was unappreciated, so he just slid the tray into the common room and left in a wee dragon huff.
