Second Floor Common Room - RT's Wake

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory made her way up from the memorial and found a Jacques Cousteau documentary on the television.

She solemnly began to watch, attempting to feel actual sorrow over a fish.

It didn't quite take.

[Totally open to all, omg]

Jaye's not sure what to say after a fish funeral, so she takes a seat and sads.

After talking to Angel, Isabel stopped by the common room. "What's on tonight?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Isabel. Hey, Jaye, Rory. Anything good on TV?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. I just got here myself."

Moral was on a quest. A very important quest. A quest to find its assigned master, who was in desperate need of moral guidance.

It just couldn't seem to find its master.

It scurried into the room where its master had been, peering around. It spotted Rory.

"Boys don't cry?"

"Boys can cry," Rory said without blinking. It looked a little like Jakey's friend.

"Drink your milk," Moral tried. It would learn to communicate if it killed it!

Bridge finds a spot on a couch and sits down. He may be slightly melancholy.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Cheer up, emo Bridgey," Rory said with a small smile.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge makes a face. "She was just a fish, I know, but death still kinda sucks."

[fates_jaye]

Jaye points at him. "No emo. You kill emo. You are brave like soldier," she says seriously.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Falling down under the pale moonlight?" Bridge asks solemnly.

[nadiathesaint]

Moral ran by the couch on its way out of the room. "Just say no!"

Glitter fountained out of its top at Bridge, and it dashed on.

Walter followed the directions to the second floor common room for the fish wake.

Fish wake?

Right.

Jaye waves from her comfy chair.

Pippi has never seen a Jacques Cousteau documentary before.

"The sea, she envelops me like a Mother's womb. So tranquil. The Mother Octopus, she gives birth to so many babies. As she swims them away, the fishies they come to feed.

Octopus, oh octopus. Your babies are dying."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Pup stared at the television before deciding that the moving things didn't smell yummy.

Instead he started to sniff Pippi's boots. They didn't necessarily smell yummy, but unlike the swimmy things, they smelled, which was a step up.

Xander, who totally missed the funeral service - but did notice the sign on his way upstairs - headed into the common room. He waved to Rory and the assembled mourners. "Um. Professor the Tick's not likely to show up in here, is he? Because I don't think my brain can deal with him being emo, somehow."

[fates_jaye]

"Emo bad," says Jaye seriously.

Krycek had apparently gotten very distracted on the way up from the first floor, but he wandered back into the second floor common room to join the wake somewhat belatedly. He also had a big box (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0003298Z8.01-A3CDPEGSIQM61V._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) that he left on a table for general consumption. "Are we still mourning?"

[fates_jaye]

"Woe," Jaye says.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Fishie doom," Rory said sadly.

After a while, Victor came in, looking slightly embarrassed. He was pretty late for the wake, he saw, but he tried to mingle anyway.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"There you are!" Walter grinned and waved at him from where he was talking to Jaye (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/481898.html?thread=22819434#t22819434).

Broots came downstairs, uncharacteristacally cheerful. And social.
