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.]

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

Because he is occasionally very, very strange.

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

"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?"

"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."

"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?"

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

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

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
"I babbled. And she was all nice and I got a picture and lookie!" Rory said bouncily, holding out her phone. "Picture!"

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin leaned over to look at her phone. "Nice picture," he said, amused by her enthusiasm. "What else did you do in Washington?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Went to the National Archives and the National Gallery and the Museum of Natural History," she replied, reaching for a bag. "Got you pressies, too."

She pulled out a stuffed dinosaur (http://cdkenterprises.com/animals/images/mz-111160.gif). "It's a stegosaurus," she said helpfully. "And I got you something else, too, but it's more delicate and less squishy."

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I got presents?" Anakin said with a huge grin. He took the stegosaurus and made it walk up the sofa arms. "He needs a name," Anakin said. "Any suggestions?"

"I like Hal," Rory suggested. "He looks like a Hal. But that's my toolbox's name. So hmm."

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin didn't even blink to hear that Rory's toolbox had a name. "Okay, not Hal. Not Kettch. Not Wasabi. Not George."

"Dan," Rory said firmly. "His name is Dan."

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Hello, Dan," Anakin said, lifting the stegosaurus up to his face. He turned to Rory. "Have I missed the part of your world where these are running around?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
"By a couple hundred million years, yeah," Rory said. "They're all extinct. They were like really, really big lizards, though I think birds are their closest living relatives."

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
"They were so fuzzy and cute, though," Anakin said, making Dan dance. "Shame I missed them."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Scaly, not fuzzy. Dan's just a toy," Rory said. "There are movies on them that'll show you what dinosaurs were more accurately like. And really, really big. Like, Dan here? A baby one would be like, the size of my car."

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh," Anakin said, blushing. "I didn't know that."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course you didn't," Rory said, smiling. "But Dan is very cute, definitely. And his kind was a nice dinosaur, too. Herbivore. Like a really big cow or something."

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Or a nerf," Anakin said, nodding. He looked up. "Which is an animal and not a fluffy orange ball. I've been told I need to make that distinction."

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Helpful, yeah, since my mind immediately went to squishy footballs," Rory grinned. "Are they like cows?"

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure," Anakin said. "They're prized for their meat, and are raised mostly on Alderaan. They're not exactly the brightest animals in the galaxy." He looked at Rory. "Are cows especially wily?"

[identity profile] auroryborealis.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Really, really, really no," Rory said. "They're cute though."

She sifted through her bags. "I also got many, many, many books. Most of which aren't here. I think I'm going to have to pull a Bridgey and knock down the wall between my room and 211."

[identity profile] emo-padawan.livejournal.com 2006-02-21 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Anakin looked down at the bags. "Wow. Are there any books left in Washington?"
