Squirrel Common Room, Friday evening

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

The weather intermittently sucked, so Walter had the radio playing in the common room and had produced a dart board from somewhere.

Pup kept running across the floor chasing uselessly after the thrown darts, but between music and his purchases from All and Sundries, Walter was not too bored.

[ooc: Open to whomever. It is a common room, after all.]

"You know, I just can't play darts," Pip said as he walked into the room.

"You don't need depth perception to drink," Walter pointed out and nudged a clanking bag secreted behind a chair.

"In fact, it could be argued that depth perception is a hindrence to drinking," Pip said as he pulled out a clanking object and opened it.

Walter considered that for a moment before shaking his head and throwing his darts at the board, precipitating another bout of happy yapping on Pup's part.

"Does it keep you from having problems with double blurred vision?"

Gwynn came into the common room and smiled. "Am I intruding on...boys time?" She thought she had the term right.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Of course not," Walter waved her in. "It's our common room. You might even like darts."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Darts are like tiny arrows, correct?" She asked as she tok a seat.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yes and no." Walter handed her a dart and pointed to the board. "An easy way to start is to play 'round the clock.' Just throw in numerical order around the board and end in the center."

He demonstrated with a throw that pegged the dart in the center of the segment marked 1.

"Interested? I'm just playing for fun."

Nadia meandered her way in after an afternoon of handwavily wandering about the woods. "Hey, people."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Hey." Walter turned away from the dart board to grin at Nadia. "I'm just killing time before we go on our little romp tonight. Do you play?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Never tried. I'm pretty good at throwing things, though,"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"It's good practice for throwing things with precision." And given that he was potentially playing with two novices, alcohol was an excellent accompaniment.

"Would you like something to drink? I have alcohol and soda. I know we have to be relatively sober for later."

Knock, knock, knocking on Squirrly's door, hey, hey, heyhey yeah.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Come in."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn looked up, a smile spreading across her face when she saw Tim.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"Hiya neibors." Tim said. "What's up?"

After her conversation (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/608400.html?thread=36222608#t36222608) with Pippi, Seras had headed into town to see about buying a swimsuit.

Unfortunately, the intermittently sucky weather had once more begun to suck, and Seras had headed back to the cabin. Two colds in almost as many weeks would be a bad thing.

As she passed by the common room, she heard the now familiar pitter patter of hellpuppy feet. Eagerly, she poked her head in.

Pup!

And Walter.

Of course.

"Hello!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Seras."

Pup trotted over pawed gently at Seras' shins, wagging happily.

"Come in. Darts or liquor?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras had scooped Pup up and begun to tickle his tummy.

She was in full adoration mode and had not quite heard Walter's question.

"Hmm? I'm sorry, what did you ask?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Darts or liquor?" Walter repeated. "Although you seem to have everything you want already."

Pup wriggled and wagged and squirmed to be able to lick Seras' wrist and hand.

"Hi everybody! Oh! Darts!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Hey Pippi!" Walter gave Pippi a wave and grin. "Where can we go wrong with throwing sharp pointy things and drinking?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia laughed. "Hi Pippi. Nice icon. Walter's showing me how to play."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Pippi!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I submit sir that we cannot!" she said holding her hand out for a drink.
