Third Floor Common Room, Tuesday night

[chasingangela]

Angela has a big bowl of Doritos to nibble from, a new episode of Vanessa Saturn to watch, and a cat who is currently curled up next to her, not visibly plotting world domination.

These things make her truly content. For the moment. More or less.

[OOC: Open. Duh.]

Peter walked down the hall and was pleased to see some action in his common room. "Hey, Angela. How goes it?"

[chasingangela]

"Hey, Peter," Angela said, nodding at the screen. "Is good. Vanessa's trying to figure out who killed her best friend and angsting about Homecoming. Want a Dorito?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Peter said, grabbing a chip from the bowl. "I'm always lost by this show. I miss important episodes and have no clue what's going on."

[chasingangela]

"That sounds like me and Misguided," Angela said. "But this episode actually seems kind of straightforward." She shrugged. "Plus, I think Vanessa and Dylan are going to hook up again. Which they so should."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I have issues with Dylan. I think he reminds me of too many people I used to know," Peter said. "I may just have issues in general, though."

[chasingangela]

Angela scratched her chin and decided to sidestep the issue of Peter's issues. "We didn't have really rich people at my old school," she said. "But I think there are arrogant guys everywhere."

"But he's really sweet when he wants to be. I think it's all his dad's fault, you know?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

Peter refrained from laughing as Angela walked right into one of his issues. He'd spare her this time, though. "His dad's a total psycho whack-job. It's really easy to see how that could screw an otherwise good guy up a lot." He wasn't thinking of anyone named Osborn at all. Really.

"He and Vanessa are good together, though, I'll admit that."

[chasingangela]

"Yeah, but," Angela hesitated before completely contradicting herself. "You can't just blame everything on your parents. I mean, his dad didn't make him get into fights, or whatever."

"I think she makes him think. Sometimes."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Not everything. But a psycho parent can give a really good push towards craziness," Peter said. Sometimes the push went farther than you might expect.

"I find Dylan a lot more tolerable when he's thinking. He's maybe less entertaining, but I like him more. That's probably the main reason I don't mind them together."

Alanna came into the room, Faithful happily on her shoulder.

[chasingangela]

Angela waved. "Hey, Alanna. Sorry I didn't get to talk to you last night. Did you have a good time?"

Min nodded a cool greeting to Faithful.

Alanna paused at the question. "...Yeah. Yeah, definetly. Did you? And Marty came back for your birthday!" She sat down, Faithful still curled up on her.

Faithful purred a greeting back at Min.

[chasingangela]

"He did!," Angela agreed happily. "But he's pretty wiped out from ..." she waved a hand through the air. "Whatever he did. It's weird, last night was so crazy, and so happy, we still haven't seriously talked."

Min hopped up on the back of the couch and began energetically meowing at Faithful.

//It has been too long.//

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"At least he's still in one piece!" Alanna was a tad more enthusiastic then she'd usually be. "And hey, you guys have ... all of two weeks before finals, scratch that. Summer! You have summer!"
Faithful ignored Alanna's ramblings and went over to join Min.

"Tell me about it. I blame the human personally." He pointed with his tail at Alanna. "Yours has good tuna though."

[chasingangela]

"We do have summer," Angela said, equally enthusiastic. "We might go on a long trip. Get away from the weirdness that is Fandom, you know? Unless it follows us."

//For you,// Min said, licking a paw. //She doesn't give it to me.//

//Did you really let them wear you on their heads?//

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"So you won't be going to the summer camps? And hey, I'm pretty sure the weirdness is restricted to Fandom."

"I'll sneak you a few cans. Alanna is not the brightest when it comes to remembering to lock the outside door." Faithful purred and chuckled."That's a very...vague term. I danced and tried to see which one of them would fall over."

[chasingangela]

"I'll probably be back for the second one," Angela said. "I'm not sure about him. But, you know, we can only afford to travel for so long, and I don't want to spend all summer at home, so... we'll be back."

//It would be appreciated,// Min said. //Angela believes dry food is mostly sufficient.//

//Did any of them fall?//

Alanna nodded. "I'm probably staying at school as long as possible. The alternative is heading home and dealing with a half-empty castle and an ex."

"Sadly, no. But a few did dance quite well. Speaking of dancing, how do you feel about tormenting our humans a bit?" Had Alanna been looking, she would have noticed that Faithful was being mischevious.

When he saw Alanna, Peter dug something out of his pocket. "Is this for what I think it's for?" he asked, holding up a permanent marker.

Alanna beamed at Peter.

"It has to wait. I'm not risking having any leftover ink on my forehead tomorrow afternoon," Peter said.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna smirked. "What's tomorrow afternoon?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I'm interviewing Zero for Journalism class. At her home. With her family around," Peter said. "No forehead ink for me, thank you."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"You're not in Journalistic Integrity right?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"No, 101/201," Peter said. "You haven't missed me the entire semester in your class, don't worry."
