3rd Floor Common Room, Late Monday Afternoon.

Callisto was bored. Very bored.

This was possibly why she was watching Bitterwoman while sitting upside down on the couch .

[ooc: Open for interaction.]

"Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi," Rory greeted the room at large, fresh from the trip and carrying several bags. "How is everyone?"

"Caffeine high?" John asks.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"No! No, indeed, John," Rory said happily. "I am high on something better than coffee. I met Christiane Amanpour."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Christia...who?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"My idol," Rory sighed, flopping on a couch. "CNN's top international correspondant."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Oh." John smiles. "Well, that's cool. Did you get an autograph?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory flipped open her phone, and showed him the picture she'd snapped. "Camera phone pictures are the autograph of the new millenium," she said, quoting The OC.

"Hey cool," John says, nodding. "Did you buy me anything?" John teases.

Rory nodded, and reached into a bag. She pulled out a stuffed Apatosaurus (http://www.hobbytimeny.com/ImgUpload/P_634682_1407020.JPG).

"From the National Museum of Natural History," she said, handing it over.

"Someone's been into the coffee today," Callisto remarked. "Hey Rory."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi Cal!" Rory said gleefully. "You are upside-down! How are you otherwise?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Bored mostly," Callisto said. "I mean I normally have no classes during the day, but at least I have Tactics of War to look forward to."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Why didn't you go on the trip?" Rory asked, beaming.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"There was a trip?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"To Washington?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

This was what happened when you spent too much time trying to figure out complicated revenge plots. "I must have missed it."

"I brought you a pressie," Rory said, reaching into a bag and pulling out a stuffed dinosaur (http://www.tapirback.com/tapirgal/gifts/friends/dinosaurs/brontosaurus-dinosaur-stuffed-plush-f535.jpg).

"Hey!" Anakin said from where he was upside down on the sofa next to Callisto.

Because he is occasionally very, very strange.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Rory said gleefully, flopping onto another couch. "I just had the best day ever. How are you?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"All the blood is rushing to my head," Anakin said, "but this seemed like a good idea at the time."

He grinned. "Why was this the best day ever?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You should flip over. I passed out last time I did that," Rory said, still gleeful. "I went on the trip to Washington and met my idol."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"I'm okay for a little longer," Anakin said. "Yoda--the one at home, not the turtle--likes to make the Padawans train upside down. Weirdo." He grinned. "At least I'm not lifting rocks at the same time."

He tried to look at her. "Who's your idol?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Christiane Amanpour," she said rapturously. "CNN's top correspondant. Basically, she's the best at what I want to do, eventually."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin flipped himself right-side up. "That's great," he said, grinning at her. "What did you say to her?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I babbled. And she was all nice and I got a picture and lookie!" Rory said bouncily, holding out her phone. "Picture!"
