Fourth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer stared.

There was a box. With tiny flickering images. And sounds.

He had no clue that it was The Long Haul starring Aaron Echolls on some random movie channel, or that it was a TV, or any of that.

He just sort of stared. Entranced.

Dawn wandered into the common room and saw a guy staring at the television. "Um, hey." She waved. "I'm Dawn. What're you watching?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer shook his head, his transfixtion broken. "Oh, hi. I'm Joxer. And that," he pointed, "is apparently a magic box."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Dawn," Molly said with a wave.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly decided to check out the other common rooms to see if she could meet more new people.

"Hey, what's on?" she asked the new guy.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"The magic box thing?" Joxer asked. "I'm not sure. There's little people and stuff, but I don't think they're actually in there."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Cedric says to Molly with a nod. "Are you new as well? I don't believe I saw you in the crowd yesterday."

It's best not to ask why Cameron is on the fourth floor. Seriously, just don't.

"Yo," he said as he wandered inside the common room. Yep, 2nd floor still ruled.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn waved to yet another cute guy. Seriously, she was never leaving. "Yo back."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

A common room is something Cedric recognizes so he happily enters the one on his floor.

"Oh, good evening." He nods politely at the people already in the common room.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yo," Cameron waves at the new guy.

Greg wandered in and quietly flopped on the couch, observing the people around in the room.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Cedric waves. "Apparently, you've just wandered into the magical box room."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel wandered down the hall, drawn by the sound of lots of people in the common room. "People!" she waved as she took a seat on the floor. "What's up?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Someone he knows.

"Hello, Isabel," he says. "It's good to see you again."

Aeryn rarely ventures above the second floor unless she has to. In fact, she can think of three times total she's been on the fourth floor the whole year. However, she knows there are new people, so she hangs off to the side and just watches a little.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hey stranger," Isabel waved. "How are you doing?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Heh heh, duuuuuuuudes." Sweet, people. Jude wandered in and sprawled into a chair, managing the typical lanky teenager trick of appearing to have far too much limb to go around.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter gives Jude a nod of welcome and looks around for the skateboard.

Peter wandered up to the fourth floor because he heard voices. Not in his head. He's not crazy or anything. These voices came from upstairs. He waved to everyone as he took a seat.

[can_be_more]

Aeryn gives him a little nod hello.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

The noise of the common room had lured Peter down from the 5th floor. He really needed to break his track record of only talking to girls at the school. He nodded to all and took a seat on the couch.

Hearing the buzz of chit chat from the common room, Seras poked her head in. She recognized Peter from the Jeff: God of Biscuits this morning, and decided to pop in to say hello.

"Hi," she said with a wave, "How's your first full day in Fandom been?"

[bigfat-peter.livejournal.com]

Peter made his way into the common room. He was holding a bag of cheetos. He'd probably give you some if you asked. But that would mean you might have to suffer through a conversation with him.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hi there," Peter said. "I'm Peter Parker, not to be confused with Peter Pevensie over there.

[multiplez]

Z was investigating the dorms when she found a common room with what seemed like a lot of people she didn't know inside. She didn't want to be too forward, so she decided discretion was the better part of valor and lurked kind of shyly in the doorway.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Z," Peter said. He kind of wanted to confuse people with the current Peter situation in the room. What better way to do that than talk to people.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky wandered in while eating a pear. "Yo people," he greeted.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Yo, bro," Jude replied, licking cheetos off his fingers.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack? Still hiding behind his camera.

Also still not really paying attention to where he was going.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Hey, watch it, man," Kawalsky said, dodging the kid.

[chasingangela]

There was no life on the second floor, or third floor.

Four? Ah, people!

Angela waved to anyone she vaguely recognized and flopped onto the floor.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky waved back and ate more of his pear.

Briar had been considering a raid on the kitchen (where was it anyway?)when he heard noise from the fourth floor. A box. That had movie pictures. "What in the world is that?" He asked the world at large.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

Zack caught sight of boys tattoos.

Which were moving.

He turned the camera on them. "How did they do that?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie was curious as to whether there was life on other floors tonight, so he was exploring. The unexpected, but welcome, sound of quite a few voices in the fourth floor common room meant he just had to stop in.

"Holy God. It's a miracle!"

[multiplez]

"I'm sorry?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker was bored, bored, bored. And there were no new people on the second floor anyway. "Hunh. Looooots of people." She picked her way through the mass of bodies, and collapsed on an empty space of couch. "Interesting."

[greenmagebriar.livejournal.com]

Briar looked at the girl who had just walked in and smiled. Charmingly. "Most of us are new." He offered his hand to shake and mentally tried to get a rose to bloom somewhere useful. No luck. "Briar Moss."

Finding no one on his floor, Xander wandered down to the fourth and poked his head in the common room.

"Hello, people!" he announced.

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Hamlet wanders by the fourth floor common room on his usual way down to the second floor, but notices a lot of noise coming from this common room for once.

"Oh? Has everyone moved up to this floor then?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Even though part of Xander was afraid that abandoning the packing efforts that Bridge had been helping him with and venturing out of 406 would result in more headache-inducing conversations with...well, everybody they met, it was kind of hard to ignore the level of noise coming from the common room.

It was kind of hard to ignore that there was noise coming from the Fourth floor common room.

And thus.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Wow," Bridge says, looking around at the people gathered in the common room. "I haven't seen this room this crowded since, uh... the night with Angela and Marty and the couch."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner had managed to dribble his soccer ball up the stairs and all the way to the fourth floor, where he promptly got sucked into the seething mass of socialization that appeared to be going on in there.

"So the party's up here tonight, huh?"

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Hamlet waves at yet another new face.

"It seems as much. Take a seat, if you can find an unoccupied one."
