2nd Floor Common Room [Sunday Night]

Bridge is bored. After hanging out with Anders and Cally for a while, he wanders in to the Common Room. He flips the TV on, and does a handstand, leaning against the wall for support.

He'd totally welcome interruptions, omg.

Peter was also bored. The CDs he bought yesterday had all been listened to a couple times and he was officially prepared to admit that punk wasn't necessarily for him. Oh well.

He wandered down to the second floor. "Hey, Bridge. What's up? Besides your feet."

"I don't have that weird magnetism going on anymore! Which is a good thing, but it *was* kind of fun."

"Not for your victims. Okay, the turtle probably enjoyed zooning through the air, but that's it," Peter joked.

"True!" Bridge says cheerfully. "Hey, did you hear about the contest?"

"No," Peter said curiously. "What's the contest?"

"Oh!" Bridge chirps, flipping right side up. "Rory and I are having a contest. In animal balancing."

"I'm sorry, but that's not really helping my comprehension here," Peter admitted. "What do you mean by 'animal balancing'?"

"Like turtles and frogs and stuff. On our heads. The magnetism thing gave us the idea!"

"So what's the contest? Who can balance more, you or Rory?" Peter asked. This sounded crazy even for this place.

"Oh, dude. It's not just me and Rory. Other people are going to compete too."

This was just sounding crazier by the moment. In an entertaining way, though. "Who else is competing?"

Hamlet, (who always seems to be wandering into common rooms, doesn't he?) wanders into the second floor common somewhere around this point.

"You're balancing animals? On what, a see-saw?"

"On our *heads*!"

He raises an eyebrow in disbelief.

"You plan to balance animals on your heads? For what possible reason would you do that?"

Bridge shrugs. "To see who's best at it"

Incredibly bored and not up to being alone, Archie heads up to the second floor.

"Cadet. You're upside down."

"Lieutenant. You're not! Well, actually, from my perspective you are."

"Don't get philosophical on me tonight, Cadet," Archie laughs, dropping into a chair nearby and leaning forward to scrutinize Bridge. "Not when we have a week of no classes in front of us."

Bridge flips right-side up and sits in a chair across from Archie. "You have a point, dude. The whole purpose of break is to give our poor brains a rest, anyway."

"And a welcome rest it is, after that exam for Professor the Tick." Archie throws a hand dramatically across his forehead and mimes passing out in his chair. "In between that and my history class, I'll need the entire break just to store up enough mental energy for the rest of the semester. Amazingly enough the class I thought would intimidate me the most at first is the least taxing one."

"Which one is that, dude?"

"Driver's Education, with Doctor Oliver? The one with the smart glasses? It's a challenge, yes, but somehow never drains me as much as the other two."

"Oh yeah, Doctor O. Wait... driving?" Bridge asks. "Don't you come from a time without, like, cars? And it's going well?"

The exasperated but knowing look on Archie's face says it all. "Relatively? Yes. I actually find it much easier than the other two classes. Only in Fandom could such an absurd thing happen, my friend."

"Huh," Bridge grins. "Hey, what's your stance on frogs? Or turtles?"
