Second Floor Common Room - Afternoon/Early Evening

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory was curled up on the couch, half-focused on some notes she was making, and at least partially watching the television, which was playing an old Bitterwoman rerun.

If it looked like she might be splitting her attention a third way by watching the door, it was probably just your imagination.

Anakin had taken a nap in his room shortly after running into John, so he was feeling a little more like himself.

He didn't really look much like himself, though. He was wearing the tight jeans John had given him and the undertunic of his Jedi robes. His feet were bare.

He walked into the common room, still limping slightly, and grinned at Rory.

"Hey, stranger," he said, sitting down next to her.

"Hi," Rory said, staring at him. "...what are you wearing?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin looked down at the jeans. "John gave them to me," he said. "Thought I'd try something different today. Am I wearing them wrong or something?"

Cally wandered into the room after class, and definitely brightened up when she saw Anakin.

However, since Rory was there, she restrained the urge to tackle-hug him. Instead, she sat down and smiled despite the Rory/Bridge flags that were crying in her head.

"Hey, you're feeling better," Rory noted. "Glad to see you up and about." And omgwtf flags do not have tear ducts.

Anakin grinned at Cally. "Hey!" he said. His forehead wrinkled. "You weren't feeling well?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Cally says. "And especially thanks for making Anders freak out. That was a fun handwavily experienced night." THEY ARE MAGIC FLAGS, OMG.

"There you are!" says Anders, bouncing into the common room and dropping onto the couch beside Cally. "Sorry I wandered off . . . had to test out the Hawaiian Punch water fountains."

And yeah, his mouth is kind of red. Yay for Red Dye #3.

That's when he notices Anakin. "Skywalker! Dude! We missed you, man!"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin grinned, the motion pulling at a new scar on his cheek.

"Hey, Anders," he said. "Missed you guys too. Not a lot of--" he tried to think of some of the stories he had heard during the day "animal balancing competitions back at home."

Cally leans her head against Anders' shoulder.

"Don't mind me if I, like, fall asleep here."

Molly went to the second floor common room after she was done with classes for the day. She waved to Rory and Cally and then did a double take when she saw who was with them.

"ANAKIN!" she yelled upon recognizing him.

Rory waved a little tiredly to Molly, smiling. "Hey, Molly. I see you've seen who's back."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I see!" Molly said happily after getting her hug from Anakin (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/510253.html?thread=25116205#t25116205). "Did you know he was coming back today?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"MOLLY!" he yelled back, standing up from the couch in his completely ridiculous, omg jeans and crossing the room to give her a hug.

He was sporting a new scar across his cheek and his stride was marred by a slight limp, but his smile was genuine.

"How have you been?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly gleefully hugged Anakin in return. When she stepped back, she looked at him carefully.

"I've been fine." She made a dismissive gesture. "Lots has happened, but everything's good. "But, you've been gone so long! And you didn't say good-bye." She gave him a pout. "I didn't know if you were ever coming back and you hadn't made me fly yet."

Angela roamed into the second floor common room, as you do.

Her eyes lit up when she saw who was already there. "Anakin?"

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin smiled, the gesture pulling at the new scar on his cheek. "Hey!"

[chasingangela]

"Heyyyy," Angela said. "Rory told me you were back, but I wasn't sure if you'd actually be talking to people yet."

She registered the scar and winced almost imperceptably. "How are you?"

After running into Izzy on the Fourth floor, Cameron wanders back into his usual common room. It's so much better here. "Yo," he says in general to the people in the room and plops down on a couch.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Cam!" Molly called, grinning. "Is that your superhero costume?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yep," he got back up and turned around for Molly, except for Izzy no one had laughed so maybe it did look alright. "What do you think? Do I look like I'll be able to save the world?"

When Jaye stops in, she's kind of ignoring some of the weirder stuff in town today and just wanting to hang- Hi.

She takes a seat.

Alanna wandered into the common room, Faithful taking a nap on her head and covering her eyes with his tail and paw. "I hate you sometimes, you know?" She muttered at the sleeping cat and tried to shove his tail aside to not trip.

Logan flopped down on the couch.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Logan," Molly said from where she was slouched, flipping channels on the TV.
