Third Floor Common Room, Wednesday Morning

[demonbelthazor]

Since he'd been too busy pining for Angel hiding from Grams the day before, Bel had yet to meet any of the new students. So he camped out in the third floor common room, idly flipping through the channels on the TV while waiting for someone to pass by.

Veronica was restless and wandering the dorms aimlessly. She spotted Bel in the common room and decided to say hello. It had nothing to do with the fact that she was still a bit anxious over the news she had gotten last night and that she would feel safe hanging out with him. And she would have never believed two months ago that she would feel that way.

"Hey," she said, entering the room and flopping down on a couch. "What's up?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey," he said. "Not much, just hanging out and seeing if there were any new people around. I haven't met any of them yet. You?"

"Avoiding packing," Veronica said. "Now that I'm not a student, I have to move to the first floor. And I haven't met any of the new kids either. I ran down to get my paperwork for my new room yesterday and that was it. Sounded from the radio like there were a lot of them though."

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, and the attic's going to be mostly empty now," Bel said. "Been meaning to ask Phoebe if she wants to move. The space is nice but it's kinda lonely up there."

He looked Veronica over. "You look like hell," he said.

For reasons best known to herself Paige wasn't actually a big fan of the second floor common room, or maybe she was looking for the guy (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/870530.html?thread=40522626#t40522626) she'd met yesterday, not that she'd admit that of course.

"Oh hey Bel," she said happily sitting at the other side of the couch, "how's avioding Grams going?"

[demonbelthazor]

"So far so good," Bel said. "Not sure how much longer she's going to be in town, though."

"I've not actually seen her yet, although obviously I saw her when I went back home after..." she trailed off, talking about the whole darklighter thing wasn't really something she wanted to do.

"She's staying at the hotel right?" she asked assuming Phoebe would have mentioned it, "maybe I'll go see her, make sure she's not done anything to Crowley yet."

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, as far as I know, and she's still here," Bel said. "I'm sure she won't leave without seeing you." He smirked a little. "And I'm sure if she's met Crowley he'd have his hands full trying to manipulate her."

"Hey, Paige," Veronica greeted her with a wave from the couch. "How's it going?"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige grinned, "so far so good, finals are done which is always good and there are some cute new guys just enroled! How about you?"

Veronica thought of all the answers she could give to that question.

And went with the safest. "I'm okay. I graduated, but I'm sticking around to run a seminar this summer."

Sometime after tracking down breakfast, Willow decided to catch up on her studies. Not wanting to come off as anti-social, she decided to use one of the common rooms.

With her nose in a book all she saw out of the corner of her eye was:

1) Dark clothes
2) Male
3) Metrosexual

"Hey, Angel," she said, absently.

Veronica looked up, expecting to see Angel and a girl she didn't know.

Instead she saw... Logan's sister? What the hell.

"Trina?" she said, her eyes wide. "What are you doing here?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" Willow said, recognizing this from having gone through it with Marty. "No! Not Trina! And I did not sing to any Widows."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"You're not Trina?" Veronica asked skeptically. "What, is this some method thing you're doing for a role? Trying to be the next Drew Barrymore?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel blinked. "Okay, we're similar, but we don't look that much alike," he said.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Sorry!" Willow said, nearly dropping her book. "I - there was dark and a little broody and - okay, now that I'm seeing the hair I recognize the error. Not - not that yours isn't nice too! Very... non-spikey, which is certainly an improvement but when you can't see yourself in a m... hi! My name's Willow! I'm new."

[demonbelthazor]

"Belthazor," Bel said, checking out the cute redhead. "Bel for short. Angel's actually a friend of mine."

"So is non-synthesised toast just... butterier, or something?" Xander asks as he and Bridge walk into the shh shut up don't ask 3rd floor common room, in theory heading for the kitchenette.

"It's hard to explain," Bridge says thoughtfully. "But there is a difference."

Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, Tim had slept rather well, and upon waking in the morning, decided to venture once more into the common room. There he found;
"Woah, hey, lotsa people I haven't met yet."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica waved.

"You'll have a lot of that," she told the newcomer. "I think I was still meeting people at Christmas time."

She smiled. "I'm Veronica."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"Tim." he said. "Pleased to meet you Veronica." He seemed to be meeting a lot of girls lately.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded in greeting. "Hey," he said. "You must be one of the new students."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"That I am." Tim agreed. "Tim Desmond, pleased to meet you."
