Second Floor Common Room [Late Thursday night]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge has the feeling he's missed something big today.

The second floor seemed unusually quiet.

So he was once again in the common room... this time, with a deck of cards. Playing solitare.

Hey, at least this time he picked a game that's *meant* to be one-player ;)

Clark wanders into the common room, having just emerged from unpacking. Its amazing, really, how one farmboy can accumulate so much junk.

Seeing Bridge, he startles, then sits down next to Bridge watching him play. Something tells him asking if Bridge wants to play 'Go Fish' is not the best way to make friends. Be *less* dorky, Clark! Less dorky!

"Hey! New dude!" Bridge looks up from the game he is rather spectacularily losing at.

He then looks back at the cards, and then up at Clark again.

"Wanna play Go Fish?"

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

Clark decides he might like this new person he is sitting by.

"Sure! Uh...unless I am intruding. I'm Clark!" He grins winningly -- or dorkishly, one of those -- and extends his hand.

Bridge takes Clark's hand and shakes it enthusiastically. "Bridge! Bridge Carson. Is me. Not that there's anyone else here for me to be introducing so by default that means that Bridge has to be me, because who else would I be referring to?" He trails off and deals out the cards.

Yuffie was bored. She was unpacked, and had decorated (Yay colors!) and her roomie seemed to have vanished for the evening.

So she found herself in the 2nd floor common room again, grinning when she saw someone she knew. "Hey! Bridge, right?"

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

Clark's eyes widen, but he does not stop grinning. "It's nice to meet you! You're the first person I've met here. Well, except for those little creature-thingies that went scurrying through my room earlier, but I don't really think they were all that friendly. Or student-y. They might've been hungry though. They ate my breakfast." Clark looks at his hand and wonders how one plays go fish without cards with fishes on them.

"Ninja-Girl-Yuffie!" Bridge said cheerfully. "What's up?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, you've been gremlined already? Those guys work fast. You have to keep an eye out for them- sometimes they're just having harmless fun, but mostly their idea of "fun" and our idea of "fun" doesn't really match up. They stole my clothes once," he informs Clark. "Last time I played cards in here, actually. Got any sevens?"

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I think they might've tried on some of my clothes earlier. I didn't see them, but I left my room to get a drink and I came back and my boxers were on the ceiling fan. That's not where I left them--" Clark pauses "--I think."

Clearing his throat, Clark looks down at his hand and doesn't see anything that looks like a seven. "Go fish!"

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

"The ceiling's up. Duh." Yuffie took a seat, waving to the guy she didn't know. "Hey ya! I'm Yuffie, nice to meet you. What you guys playing?" She leaned over to look at their cards.

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

Clark looks up from his hand of entirely too un-fishy cards and grins. "Go Fish. I...think. I'm Clark -- what's your name?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, ceiling fan sounds like an unusual place to store clothes. Though I suppose one could consider it a creative solution to a lack of drawer space." Bridge takes a card from the pile and frowns at it. "Your turn, dude."

On her way back from Parker's party, Rory wandered through the common room.

"Hey, Bridgey!" She eyed the new people curiously.

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

"Gawd, you got wax in your ears or something? I just *said* I was Yuffie." She rolled her eyes in a good natured sort of way. "Oh, is it too late for me to join in?"

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

"When I lived at home I used to keep my jeans on the rafters. You know, when they were drying." Clark looks at his hand. "Then they made puddles and mom made me stop."

Clark wrinkles his nose at his hand. "Got any...of these two headed girl people?" He shows Bridge the Queen of Hearts.

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

Clark stammers. "I...I do not think I do!" He makes a mental note to check in the shower though, just in case. Being from Smallville, one cannot take a comment like that lightly, lest one wakes up with aromatherapy candles growing out of every orifice.

"Sure you can join in! Uh...if it is okay with Bridge, anyway!" Clark deals Yuffie cards.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Rory, Rory, Rory!" Bridge calls out. "This is Clark and Ninja-Girl-Yuffie! Um, I think you can figure out which is which pretty easily."

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

Clark smiles brightly and waves. "Hi! Its nice to meet you! I'm Clark. Not a ninja. I tried out once, when I was four, but I got tangled up in my karate pants and they made me stop."

[ninja-brat.livejournal.com]

Yuffie grined and took her cards. Yay, something to do! She held them close to her chest- noone was going to be peeking at HER cards.

Rory waved. "Hi, Clark. I'm Rory. You might have picked that up from Bridge saying my name three times. New to Fandom?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"One would hope," Parker drawled, coming in with her arms full of boxes. She puts a few down, and wrings out her arms. "I didn't see you at my party, Bridge." She gives Yuffie and Clark mild looks of interest, and waits to be introduced.

((OOC:BWAH!))

"Hiya! And I'm Yuffie, and I *am* a ninja. I have mastered the art of karate pants and moved up to ninja stars." She nods solemly.

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

"Uh, yeah -- I just got in this week, actually. I haven't met anybody, I've been so busy unpacking." Clark fiddles with his Queen of Hearts. "But now I'm meeting people and its great. We're playing Go Fish! But without the fish!"

[missesthegoats.livejournal.com]

Clark looks awed. "Stars? Wow. My mom wouldn't let me play with pointy objects. I used to have a little ninja heart on my karate shirt though! It was made of construction paper."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"...Party?" Bridge says, confused. "Parker, this is Clark and Ninja-Girl-Yuffie. Who are easy to tell apart."
