2nd floor common room, late afternoon/early evening

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

There's only so much napping and cleaning up that you can do before you really need to get out. Apparently things have been quiet because the common room still has a whole lot of chocolate eggs lying around.

Cameron picks up most of the eggs and then starts to divide them into a white chocolate and dark chocolate army. He ends up with a pretty big battle field of chocolate eggs.

Cally yawns as she wanders into the common room. She scratches the back of her head and blinks at the battlefield.

"Okay, that's a lot of chocolate."

"I think someone went Easter happy," Cameron nods and sends his cavalry!eggs to the right flank.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"What-huh happy?" Cally asks.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Easter," he replies before he remembers the whole different planet thing. "Uh, it's a christian holiday. Christ died and then rose again from the grave. It's tradition for parents to hide chocolate eggs in the garden and then have the kids go and find them."

He motions around the room, "I think they overdid it a bit, though."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Cally has to admit the Lords of Kobol stories are kinda the same. "So... you celebrate him coming back from the dead with chocolate? Nice religion."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I think the chocolate is actually more of a pagan thing that became popular. Not that I'm going to complain about getting chocolate," he tossed Cally one of his soldiers. "How's it going?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally smiles. "It's really, really good to be alive."

Anders, groggy, messy-haired, and still in his pajamas, comes stumbling into the common room and trips over a chocolate egg.

"Okay, what the frak?" he asks, just before letting out a jaw-cracking yawn.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it is," he raises an eyebrow. "Any particular reason?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate egg armies!" Cameron replies and wonders if he would be able to throw an egg right into Anders' mouth like that.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"We didn't all die yesterday," Cally says with a nod.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's good," he nods. "Did I sleep through an invasion?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"It's more the fact that you have enough chocolate eggs to form two armies that scares me," replies Anders, blinking at them and shuffling over to collapse onto a couch. "I mean, why?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"It's Easter, man. We get chocolate eggs on easter. Well kids do normally, I guess the administration thought we could use it?" Cameron shrugs.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Cally says, shaking her head. No use worrying anybody about it. "Normal Saturday."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Cool, normal can be nice once in a while. I sorta napped through most of the day," he says sheepishly.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"So, what's new? I haven't talked to you in a while." Cally tiptoes around the battlefield and sits down on a couch.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Easter?" asks Anders. "Not another one of your holidays, geez."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it's been a while," he shrugs. "Nothing new really. Just waiting for the holidays. You?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yep, the big one. Okay, so maybe Christmas gets the most attention but Easter is kinda the important day for christians. The whole dead rising from the grave and coming to life thing was a bit of a hit," he grins.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that one's kinda a classic." Anders nods and stretches out on the couch. "The coming back to life thing, I mean. We got a few stories like that in the Scrolls back home, and I've seen stuff like that in my Classics class. Don't see what chocolate eggs have to do with it, but I'm not even asking any more." He laughs and squirms suddenly, shifting to retrieve a tiny egg from the couch cushions behind him.

"Huh."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shrugs. "Same old, same old. Can't complain, really. Looking forward to be done with classes for a while, though."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Are you going back home between classes?" Cameron asks and forgetting about the whole war thing, he eats another of his soldiers.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure myself either. I think it's a pagan thing, but beats me where it came from. I'll just take the chocolate," he nudges one of the eggs and tries to get it to roll into enemy territory.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"You all have too many religions for one planet, man." Anders tosses the tiny egg up in the air and catches it, then tosses it over to Cally. "Definitely not arguing with chocolate, though. I mean, who needs a holiday all about chocolate when all the holidays seem to have something to do with chocolate anyway?"
