2nd Floor Common Room - Sunday evening, after the game

After watching the Superbowl, Logan cheered. "All right, Angel, Angela, step right up. Got some cash for youse guys."

"Yes. Though they're all over the place - seriously, I'm surprised there isn't a Starbucks in Fandom - they're based in Seattle, and their coffee is awesome," Rory said solemnly.

"Coffee is highly overrated," interjected Walter, having just managed to escape his apology to Logan (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/450890.html?thread=20153418#t20153418) and come over at Anders' wave.

"And what is this party for?" Asking the redundant question of the hour.

Rory blinked. "Super Bowl," she said faintly. "What was that other thing? Because I could've sworn you just said that coffee is overrated, and that cannot possibly be correct."

"Super Bowl?" Walter blinked back. "You people are celebrating a bowl?"

As to her focus on a bitter brew, "Coffee has nothing on a properly prepared cup of tea."

"Oh boy," muttered Anders. "Fireworks in three, two, one . . ."

"How can people not like *coffee*?" Bridge says, a little unnerved by the prospect.

"I don't get it either, dude," says Anders. Who looks kind of terrified.

"Football," Rory answered. "American football. Not, um, soccer," she amended, noting the accent.

"Now, I've got to argue with you on this tea thing. Tea's fine, but there is nothing like coffee. It's so rich and harsh and wonderful, not to mention to caffiene value."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
He cocked his head before shaking it slightly. "You can get quite a lot of caffeine from a good tea. I suppose it is a matter of taste.

"But what does any sort of bowl, super or not, have to do with American football? I thought it was rather like rugby?"

"Coffee's better," Rory said staunchly. "Anyway. It's not a literal bowl. I've no idea why it's called that - it's just a really big football game."

"Oh." Walter looked unconvinced. "And did the right team win?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
"No," Rory said sadly.

She blushed suddenly. "I'm Rory, by the way," she said, extending a hand.

"I am sorry to hear they did not." Walter shook her hand, "I am Walter and if I speak as though someone has stolen all of my apostrophes, it is a long story."

"Don't believe in contractions?" Rory asked, smiling.

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
"I do. My tutor does not." Walter had just about reached the point of being able to smile about it. Almost. Maybe when those stripes on his face finally faded.

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Eek," Rory said sympathetically. "Sorry to hear that. Whereabouts are you from?"

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Walter shrugged, dismissing the contraction-hating tutor. "London about sixty years ago. And you?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Rory didn't bat an eye. "Just outside Hartford, Connecticut. And, um, not sixty years ago."

"I think I have seen you in the library." He grinned with a hint of deviltry and asked, "What is your favorite kind of trouble to get in around here? Everyone seems to have their specialty."

[identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Dude," Bridge tilts his head at Walter. "I *knew* I'd seen you somewhere before!" He says suddenly.

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes?" Walter turned around to look at Bridge. "Bridge, right?"

[identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
"The one and only. Well, sort of," he adds, glancing at Rory. "Gotta question for you."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Alright...?" Walter looks a bit dubious, but waits for the question.

"I'm *trying* to organise a meeting time for Fight Club. But hardly anyone's responded to my email about availability. So- if you're still gonna come- what day of the week would work for you?"

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-02-06 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Monday is really the only day I have open. I was shanghaied into a job. I suppose Saturday or Sunday mornings would work, too."
