2nd Floor Common Room, Afternoon into Evening

Vala has no classes today, but hanging out in the room alone is just too depressing. And she could hear Cam in the TA lounge when she swung by. Plus at lunch she stopped by Dewey's office and found out she somehow got cast in the damned school play. As if her Crissmass solo wasn't enough.

Not having managed to run into Rory, Cordelia, or Jake yet today, she's given up and flopped down on the common room couch to watch Classic Galaxy Quest reruns while she waits for the new ep of Spooky Things to come on.

Come. Feed her. Entertain her. Get snarked at by her. It's a crapshoot, really....

Jake comes shuffling in, looking bored and clinging to his mug of coffee like it's a lifeline even more than usual. He brightens when he sees the tv. "Galaxy Quest! I'm not late for Spooky Things, am I?" he asks, worriedly, as he drops down in the avaliable seat on the couch.

Jake nodded, eyes glued to the screen. If he was very lucky, this would be one of the episodes where Lt. Madison was confused by watery showers. "Yeah, that's me." He glanced quickly over at the girl. "Oh, you're... NotAeryn. Sorry, I forget your name."

Having decided that it wasn't one of the watery episodes, Jake turned his head from the tv to give her a blank look. "Nothing, as far as I know. Why?"

"I didn't do it," Jake protested. He was sure he would have remembered turning into Vala. He sipped his coffee for strenght. "I mean, yeah, I did land Cal and Xander in the play, but they deserved it! ...Wait, if I didn't do it, who did?"

"I'd totally admit to it if I'd done it!" Jake protested and then was distracted by the tv again. Oooh, alien princess...

Cally drops in after US History finishes. "Hey Vala," she says. "What's up?"

[ooc: this time with Ys. ...that was odd.]

"Yikes," Cally says, scratching the back of her neck. "But, how could he do that? He doesn't even look anything like you? You're much prettier."

"Hey! ...Yeah, okay, you're right, she is prettier," Jake admitted. "But I didn't! I mean, I only take revenge upon people who've earned it, not random ones! It'd take too much effort for nothing, that'd be silly."

"Okay, whoa, I'm confused now. Revenge? Impressions?" Cally blinks a few times. "Maybe you can... un-audition? I mean, it didn't look like you were that important to the play, not that I have room to say, what with being a lobster and all, but... there's gotta be a happy solution to this, right?"

"Maybe? It just seemed low on the list?" Cally says. "It could be very, very important. I don't know."

"So, how's stuff going with Cam? You two go on any cute dates recently?" Cally grasps at straws. Sadly, those straws are the kind that bite.

"Oh frak," Cally covers her mouth. "I'm so sorry. And... yes we do?" She hopes making herself look dumb might give Vala some sort of comfort or something. It's not exactly the best logic, but it's what she was born with.

"Erm... anything I can do to cheer you up?" Cally fidgets a little. "We could, like, do that whole girly thing involving ice cream?"

"S'okay," Cally says with a shrug. "Anders and I kinda do live under a rock." Cally scratches the back of her neck and starts backing towards the door. "Well, I'll leave you with the TV, I guess. Don't wanna say anything stupider or something."

Cally tosses the remote onto the couch. "Me too, I think. Anders might be wonderin' where I am. Catch you later, Vala."
