Third Floor Common Room

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Hamlet plops himself on the couch in the third floor common room because the sixth floor one still hasn't been cleaned up and most of the other ones are full. He has a copy of the Fandom High course calender laid out on the table next to some papers he picked up from Wittenberg over the New Years Vacation. He's busy trying to figure out which classes he can take this semester that will get transfer for credit at his old school, and it's not looking too hopeful so far.

He simply had to get out of his room. It wasn't that he didn't appreciate the... kind... gesture of his creepy unseen "Room-Mate," but there was something about the brightly coloured animal-hide-like fabric that was starting to make him twitch.
Macbeth, wandering around aimlessly and terribly lost, finally found himself in the common room, wandering aimlessly still.
On what appeared to be a seat not far off, he saw a young man - he mentally checked himself, this young man was older than he now was - who was looking over some papers.
...
He walked up to the boy person sitting on the odd seat. He looked over his shoulder at the papers he was reading. He raised an eyebrow.

*Hamlet looked up at the person staring over his shoulder. He didn't recognize him. Must have been one of the new kids. He slid the course calender over so that the redhead could have a better view of it.*

Do you need to use this as well? I'm finding difficult to choose classes that are of interest here and that will also count for credit at my old school. I am Hamlet Dane Jr, by the way. I assume you are new here?

After leaving Parker's birthday party, Callisto made her way up to the third floor. Flopping down on a couch she waved to Hamlet and the redhead. "Hey Hammie, and...?"

Macbeth nodded, looking over the sheet of paper that was slid in front of him, unable to make heads of tails of the information that was written on it. He straightened his posture so that he was once again standing as proud as a king of Scotland should so that he wasn't looming over his new... school-mate?
"I'm Thane Macbeth of Glamis and Cawdor. I prefer Macbeth. Everyone calls me Thane regardless..." He paused, looking around the odd room. "And I would be about as new to this odd place as it gets, I believe..."

*Hamlet motions his thumb to the new boy.*

He says he is Thane Macbeth of Glamis and Cawdor. I think he might be one of those new students here.

[sea-incarnadine.livejournal.com]

"Aye," Macbeth said with a faint nod. "I believe I am one of the new students... Though I haven't a clue as to what I'm to be learnin' here..."

"How to repel zombie attacks and flush gremlin venom, mostly, " Ivanova butted in, flopping down next to Callisto. "We should hand out frosh packs with first aid gear."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Ivanova," Callisto nodded. "Yeah, Macbeth, the most important things you'll learn here are outside the classroom."

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

*Hamlet looks up at Ivanova.*

Are there frosh packs? I could have used one last semester before I ate the Billy Joel cooking.

And I don't think we've met yet, Miss...

As if he hadn't learned enough already during his hostile takeover time served as King?
Macbeth frowned as he looked around the trio of strangers.

"I don't suppose any of you would be willin' to give me some idea of what it is I'm to be expectin' around here, then?"

Cordelia, on her way from the first floor lounge, (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/358023.html?thread=14572167) decided to take a quick peek into the third floor lounge to see if she could spot her Big Brother. Piglet or something.

She looked around, and though there were not many people there that night, she had no idea what this guy looked like.

"Ivanova. Susan Ivanova, but do me a favour and leave off the first bit. I just keep running into people I don't know yet. I lived in town last semester. And I don't think that there are frosh packs, but that might be a good idea for next year."

"Lemme think, don't get bit by the gremlins, don't eat at the cafeteria, the pirate sees all, stay away from locker 237, those are the basics." Callisto suddenly grinned. "Oh, one more thing, Parker just loves to be called Maureen."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"Expect the unexpected," Ivanova replied sagely. "Think of the weirdest thing you can imagine, double it, and it's probably going to happen this semester. Assaults by the undead, food that makes you break into song, miniature giraffes and giant squids."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Callisto waved to the newcomer.

[upforachase.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Cordelia replied, looking at Callisto. "I'm Cordelia."

*Hamlet spies yet another new student poking her head in the room.*

Do come in; we won't bite. Unless there's Diet Baby Sauce around We're all just looking over the upcoming classes. I assume you are one of the new students, Miss...

[sea-incarnadine.livejournal.com]

...
"Maureen? Wherefore Maureen? She only offered me the one name to call her by, and she seemed insistant that I not call her by anything but..."
He mentally flinched as he remembered the look that had crossed her face when he had let an errant 'lass' slip last night.
...
"What in the world is a Gremlin? A Locker? A Cafeteria?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Callisto." She extended a hand. "New student?"

[upforachase.livejournal.com]

"Chase. Cordelia Chase," she said, stepping a little further into the room.

[upforachase.livejournal.com]

"You betcha," she said, shaking Callisto's hand.

[sea-incarnadine.livejournal.com]

"Undead?" Macbeth looked at Ivanova with a sudden urgency to his demeanor. "I've had enough dealings with the dead already, must they live and walk again as well?"
Stupid ghosts ruining his coronation dinner. It wasn't like he had even really done anything to deserve it.
Well... mostly...
"The unexpected, I believed I was coming to have a fairly good grasp on, though now I have to wonder..."

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

*Hamlet blinked at the new girl. Ah, so this was Cordelia Chase. Nope, nothing like the other Cordelia he had met.*

I see. I'm Hamlet, your assigned Big Brother. Welcome to Fandom High.

Ivanova raises an eyebrow at his intensity. "Yeah, those zombies can be a real pain in the . . . well, I don't think you have to worry about them. Apparently Kawalsky had a run in with the Ghost of Boyfriend Past over Christmas. But I think the expert on the not-really-dead-yet here would Callisto, if the gossip I'm hearing is anything to go by." She nudges Callisto with her elbow, knowingly flirting with death. "Isn't that right?"

"Ahhh, Hamlet. I was wondering when I'd find you," Cordy said, extending her hand to him. "Thanks! It's nice to meet you."
