2nd Floor Common Room - Evening

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker really didn't get much done today. She's watching the DVD of Midsummer Night's Dream -- the one with Kevin Kline and Callista Flockhart -- and making mental notes of what *not* to do as Queen of the Fairies.

She's also hoping to run into some people, so she can get some answers about what's been happening while she was in England.

"Once I accidentally got someone else's dream." Bridge says. And no, he doesn't glance at anyone else in the room when he admits this. Certainly not Rory.

Xander frowned. "How did you know it was somebody else's dream?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Because you know those dreams that are like, memory dreams? This was like that, except I knew it wasn't MY memory 'cause I'd never done anything like what happened in the dream, but I remembered that the person who *did* have the dream had had that happen, if that makes sense."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander may look like he's plotting that out on a diagram of some sort in his head, but at last he nods. "Frighteningly, yes. Actually we all kind of had somebody else's dreams happen to us back home when we were awake once, so the frightening part isn't just a figure of speech."

"I'm guessing these weren't dreams filled with rainbows and unicorns?"

[soldtoarmenians]

"More like killer clowns and mandatory stage performances. And a guy with a giant evil hand."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Okay, yeah. Scary." Bridge says, wide-eyed. "Clowns..." he makes a face.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander makes the same face. "Yeah, that part was kind of my contribution to the nightmare," he admits. "We had this whole shared reality thing going."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"As opposed to... normal reality, which isn't shared?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander glances around the room. "By some people? It's questionable."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge giggles. "Okay, true. Although, sometimes people try and tell me my reality is different from everyone else's."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander snickers. "Feel free to use my comeback from when Buffy said that about my logic -- 'Mine's better.'"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"It's a good comeback!" Bridge grins. "'Cause it's true. I'd totally rather be happy all the time than depressed about stuff."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander grins, maybe a little tiredly, but then he was tired when he came in. Possibly something to do with the note in his pocket that he's supposed to deliver to one of his best friends if her ex should happen to unkick the undead unbucket.

"Nice work if you can get it. Is there a trick to that?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Being happy?" Bridge says. "Sure. It seems like people are always upset or angry about something, so I just try and... balance it out, a little."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander flashes back - without wavy lines or anything, because they're not on tv - to the departure of a certain person who went away to space omg, but got to say goodbye to a purple frog first.

"Okay, I'm perhaps not entirely unfamiliar with that concept. Usually I go the making people laugh route, but I can see where relentless happy could have the same basic effect."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'm pretty good at that, too." Bridge admits. "And distracting people from emo. I can be very distracting."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander scratches his head exaggeratedly. "Hmm. What were we talking about again?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge sticks his tongue out at Xander and then smirks.

"I'm like a *ninja*!"
