4th Floor Common Room [Friday morning]

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

This is boredom for you. Mac has been busy all morning trading in her normal blue streaks for a Valentine themed fluoro pink. Every once in a while a girl needs a change, even if it might make her look a little like she was attacked by a pink-glitter weilding fairy. She suspects it won't last long. Meanwhile, despite having no date, she can still get into the spirit of the holiday.

Now, she's sat with a book in the common room, waiting to see how long it takes people to comment on the change. She's totally open to opinions, mocking and/or help dying it back if its luminosity scares too many people.

Comments

Mac raises an eyebrow and grins. "Witch? Sounds fun. You're actually the first one I've met here. So far I've found Vampires, friends who are supposedly dead-but-not, mutants, demons and... I think that's it. well, either that or they just haven't mentioned it to me."

"Considering where we are... normal is not really, 'normal'. If that makes any sense at all."

"Wow I feel honoured to be your first witch then, and yeah it has it's advantages, although I'm not meant to use magic for personal gain with a bit of a downer."

"And yeah I know what you mean, this place kinda messes up anyone's idea of what normal is, I mean I'm living with a world famous poet!"

Then she hears the familar cough (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/457948.html?thread=20774876#t20774876) and turns to see Sawyer. Her face falls a little, "crap!"

"I guess the whole 'personal gain' thing puts a bit of a limit on it... still, you definitely get cool-points. As does the living with a famous poet. Who is that anyway?"

Mac notices Paige's sudden discomfort at the entrance of some other people. "Are you okay?"

"Geoff Chaucer, the really cute blond poet who teaches here, we kinda dated a while ago."

She forces a smile, "very fine, it's just erm, boyfriend, well ex boyfriend now I guess." she shrugs, "no biggie."

"I don't think I know of him. Dating the faculty though, do they not get funny about that here?"

Mac nods in comprehension glancing over to the group on the other side of the room. "Awkward, I would imagine."

Paige looks a little upset that Mac doesn't knwo who Geoff is, in much the same way he used to."Geoffrey Chaucer? Wrote Cantebury Tales? Anyway he wasn't a teacher when we were together, he was just a regular hard working poet then," she replies obviously pretty proud of Geoff.

"and yeah awkward, I kinda messed, but well he's not even spoekn to since so I guess that's that." she shrugs, it's just one of those things that seems to happens to Paige

"Oh! That Geoff. Yeah, see I am not quite on first name terms..." She grins, "that is damn cool though. You have yourself your very own claim to fame right there, as if the whole 'I have magic powers' thing wasn't enough."

"I don't think there are many break-ups that aren't awkward and messed. I'm sure, given time, it'll improve." Mac paused, "having said that, I'm Miss permanently single, so... not really an authority on that."

"yeah that's my preferred claim to fame really, although I doubt many people outside Fandom would actually believe me!"

"Yeah I hope so I guess I'm gonna try to whole single thing for a while, it's a shame it's so close to couples day really."

"You have more than one claim to fame?" Mac looked pretty impressed, "you're doing better than me. I have a total of... none, actaully."

"Ah, the one bad thing about this time of year, it just reminds you about it the whole time. You never know, it might all work out for the best."
