Second Floor Common Room, Tuesday Night, Oregon Statehood Day

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Trying to ignore everyone coupling off all over the damn school, Sam turned on the Aaron Echolls film festival and prepared to lose herself in the movies. She had a large bowl of popcorn and bottle of diet coke and settled into one of the chairs.

Of course, she was immensely interruptable.

[ooc: For anyone without a significant other, abandoned by them, or protesting Valentine's Day in general.]

Xander came in carrying a tree and a frog.

A tree made of cookies, that is.

"Platonic roomie cookie?" he said, holding out the flowerpot full of goodies to Sam.

The frog was not made of cookies. It was just a frog. Purple, but no chocolate chips.

Parker came in bearing chocolate-covered espresso beans, and a bottle of Pepsi. "Hey, Carter. What's on the TV?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Sam said, taking a cookie. "Popcorn? And you've brought your frog."

Alanna came in, finally dressed in normal clothes and with Faithful on her shoulder. She's still clutching at the teddy bear though.

"Parker," Sam said, waving her hand and getting some popcorn on the floor. "Echolls film festival. Pull up a chair."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Harris," Parker says, just a little cautious, since she hasn't seen him, since, oh, Saturday. And a certain e-mail, and a conversation. "Ooo, cookies." She held up the chocolate-coffee. "Trade?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

'Hey, Alanna. Pull up a chair."

"Perfect. I have a couple hours to kill before I go over to the 4th Sin." Parker grabbed a handful of popcorn, and folded herself into a pretzel on the couch. "Which one is this? The bus one?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander took a handful of popcorn and tossed one piece into his mouth.

"Valentine's Day's a tough one for Jeremiah. Brings back all those bitter memories of how nobody would kiss him when he had the mistletoe on his tank in Study Hall. I figured I should bring him out, get him some company and fresh air so he'll stop moping around about what a big purple dateless loser he is."

"I'm not really paying attention," Sam admitted. "Found Lee in a clearing this afternoon, still haven't heard from O'Neill...y'know, just any regular Tuesday. What're you doing over at the Sin?"

Parker waves to her as she comes in, then cocks an eyebrow at the teddy bear. "Gifted, I see. Congrats." She glared at the screen. "Are you kidding me?" she demanded as Aaron Echolls made a speech about respecting life.

Popcorn flew.

"Witnessing a homicide. Probably." Parker grinned gleefully. "GOB, who works at Caritas with Jarod? Hired the Gomez Brothers to serenade Rory's evil twin. I'm thinking knives will be involved."

Peter wandered down, holding a camera and a cookie that looked identical to the cookies Xander had. Well, not identical. There were bites taken out of it.

"Alone together?" he asked.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam, suddenly feeling very purple, took a bite of the cookie. "Uh huh. Sounds rough." She leaned over and kissed the side of the tank. "Happy Valentine's Day, Jeremiah."

Alanna curled up on an armchair. "This count?"

[soldtoarmenians]

"Mi cookies es su cookies," Xander said, offering the pot. No, not that pot. I believe there's some people outside the Kwik-Stop who can handle any such needs for you. If his gaze didn't quite meet hers, it could theoretically be blamed on the magnetic visual attraction of chocolate-covered coffee beans. Not vouching for whether that's a good theory, granted.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Yes, come join us, Peter," Sam waved him in with her own partially eaten cookie.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker dropped a half-dozen espresso beans in his hand, and grabbed cookie. "Muchas gracias," she said around a bite. "I had sex on Thursday."

Why she feels the need to share that, she can't quite say.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam handed over the popcorn bowl. "Looks good to me."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Excellent!" Peter hopped onto the couch. "I'm only here temporarily, but my plans consist of photographing a weirdo embarrassing himself in front of a hooker. Nothing romantic, I swear."

"Yeah, always have been." Alanna blinked at Miss Parker. "Oh, the bear!" She glanced down at him. "Yeah. What is that?" She indicated the program on the TV.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna grabbed a handful of kernels and began feeding them to her cat.

"Hey, Petey boy." Parker threw back a chocolate-espresso bean, and waved. "We're trashing the Echolls oevre. 'Cause it's fun. And violent." There may be too much glee in that assessment.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam started giggling. "Has the man lost his mind?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Logan Echolls' dad, doing a crappy job of disarming a bomb." Parker shook her head sadly. "And they wonder why he didn't an Oscar for this. You don't give Oscars for sub-par disarming skills. Pull up a cushion and mock with us."
