Fourth Floor Common Room, Thursday Morning

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer had slept in the common room. Partially because he just happened to pass out watching the magic box TV thing, but partially because he was terrified of the person who he shared his room with.

So, after a visit to the bathroom, marvelling at indoor plumbing for a good twenty minutes, and a shower, Joxer was back in the common room. The TV was showing some early morning Abaranger reruns.

[ooc: Open for interaction? Please?]

One nice thing about being a multiple kid? You can still go to work, send another guy out to explore the dorm and still have a couple more to do... well whatever.

Jamie settled down on the couch and gave a wave to the other guy in the room. "Hey."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Joxer replied, with a wave of his own. "If you want to change the magic bo-- I mean, if you want to change the TV, go right ahead."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Nah, it's okay," Jamie said kicking his feet up on the coffee table. "What are we watching exactly?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"As far as I can tell, it's about transforming warriors," Joxer said. "I've never seen it before."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie watched for a second before nodding. "Riiiight this is the one where they fight a giant rubber monster every episode."

Willow passed by and saw a familiar face. "Joxer! Hey!"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer instantly sat up straight and was fussing with his hair to make sure he didn't have helmet-head.

"Willow, hi," he said. "Just watching a little TV. You, uh, want to join me?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Willow took a seat on the couch, folding her legs up underneath her. Recognizing the program, she perked up. "Oh! Is this the one where they fight the monster?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I think it is," Joxer said. "At least, that's what Jamie told me. I'm kind of new to this whole TV thing."

Jamie looked up at the girl he hadn't met yet and gave her a wave. "Hi."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow waved. "Hi! I'm Willow."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"I'm Jamie," he said with a small grin. "Is this your floor? Because I'm totally crashing. There won't be any penalties for me coming down from the fifth floor to visit, will there?"

Oooh, cute girl. Conner flashed her a big grin. "Hey. New student too?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Yep, Willow Rosenberg," she said. "You?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Willow, I'm Conner McKnight. I don't actually live on this floor though." He shoved his hands in his pockets and bounced on his toes a bit. "Don't mind me if I yell at the TV, okay?"

Dean actually made it all the way down the hallway this morning without getting sidetracked. Hearing voices, he glanced in the common room and saw some people watching tv.

Including a really cute redhead.

Hm. Well it was all about meeting his fellow classmates after all.

He wandered over and gave her his best smile. "Hi."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" she said. "I'm Willow, not Trina. In case you happen to know somebody named Trina. Who is not me."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Pleased to meet you, Willow-not-Trina." He held out his hand to her. "I'm Dean."

Conner had actually -- gasp, shock -- left the soccer ball behind in his room this morning. Curious as to whether there would be any more activity in the common room a floor above, he headed up to check it out.

Then he saw what was on the TV, and his jaw dropped.

"Oh, no. No, no, no, not this show again."

Okay, so he'd learned to cultivate a grudging affection for Abaranger, and it had helped him ace a term paper once, but it was going to be tough keeping his mouth shut about some of the details they got wrong. He hadn't had to worry about that with Ethan and Kira; this place was going to be another story.

"You have something against rubber monsters?" Joxer asked.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"They're so cheesy," complained Conner, even though that wasn't his actual objection. "Low-budget, weird-looking rubber monsters? Nobody's ever going to believe those things are actually threatening, I mean, come on! The real ones were . . . uh, never mind."

He cleared his throat and offered a hand to the guy in the weird outfit. "Hi. Conner." A rapid subject change would be good.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Hi. Joxer," he replied. "You were saying something about real monsters?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie waves at the guy shouting at the TV. "It's not that bad. You know... for a kid's show."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Conner says, waving absently back as he tries not to scowl too hard at the screen. "For a kids' show, it's weirdly popular with teenagers and adults back in Reefside. It's not that it's bad. It just drives me nuts."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Reefside? Where's that at?" Jamie asked. "Oh, I'm Jamie by the way."
