5th Floor Common Room - mid afternoon Tuesday.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

England wasn't playing and he'd missed the France-Switzerland match earlier, but after reading about the excellence of the Brazilian team, Peter rather wanted to watch a match of theirs.

So he settled in on one of the couchs in the Common Room with the TV tuned to the Brazil-Croatia match.  He was trying to contain his excitement at watching football again.

After her conversation with Bel (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/652779.html?thread=40561899#t40561899) in the hallway, Pippi flounces past the common room and is drawn in by the siren call of football.

"Hi Peter! Did I miss anything good yet?"

Seras had the uncanny ability to detect a football match being watched with in a five mile radius.

It was a blessing and a curse.

"Who's playing?" she asked, poking her head into the room.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Brazil and Croatia," Peter replied as he stood up when Seras entered. "Brazil's apparently really good, but the match just started."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"Huh. Should be interesting then."

Seras curled up on the couch and decided that watching a football match went along with Dr. Reid's admonition to 'take it easy'.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter nodded in agreement. "And England's playing on Thursday against Trinidad." He looked carefully at Seras. "Are you well?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras grimaced.

"I'm not sure really. I woke up this morning feeling...feeling very unwell," she said, "I don't know why though. I don't remember much of yesterday, infact. But, Dr. Reid told I'm not the only one. So, I'm not too worried."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I don't remember too much of yesterday either," Peter assured her. "I think it's pretty much all of us here. Can I get you something? A soda maybe?"

He looked back at the game. "Oooh! Brazil goal! Nice shot!"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras turned her head to the screen, just catching that last one.

"Oh...wow. They're quite brilliant."

She turned back to Peter.

"A soda would be lovely, thanks. What kind did you get?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"They really are. Too bad about the Croatian captain coming off the field just before that. He's probably rather upset."

"Coke," Peter said with a grin. "I haven't branched out from that yet."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"I should say so, yes," said Seras, "And a coke would be perfect, thank you."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grabbed a Coke for Seras and one from himself from the fridge and sat back down, handing her one. "There you are. So other than random weirdnesses, how have you been?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras opened her drink and took a gulp.

"I'm not sure. I want to say 'well' because I can't remember anything bad happening to me. But...I can't shake the feeling that something's off. It must just be not being able to remember much of yesterday. That's kind of scary, really."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Truly, it is," Peter agreed. "I keep thinking I was meant to remember something important."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Afternoon, Pippi!" Peter replied, standing up. "Not at all, only 20 minutes into the match. Brazil's dominating though."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Excellent!" she said, I'll make us some popcorn!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Brilliant! I picked up some soda in town. It's in the ice box to cool off a bit. How's your day been?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"A little strange." she said grabbing a Jiffy Pop pan (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002BQL8C/104-0243347-9115101?v=glance&n=3370831) from a cupboard and turning on the burner of the kitchenette.

"Nobody has a clear memory of yesterday it seems... But everybody is still around and unharmed so perhaps it's for the best. I remember having a chat with you about football though... Do you remember that?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"That's what it sounded like in workshop today as well," Peter said. "It's so very strange. But I definitely remember talking to you about football though I feel like there was a longer conversation as well. That's why I decided to come in and watch the match today. Get us football fans together."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Definitely!" she nodded. "Football is just the thing to bring people together so we can start our gang of Football Hollies!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Our clothed but draped in the flags of our countries gang of hooligans!" Peter added as he so needed a UK flag icon</strike?

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Huzzah!" Pippi cheered.

[[ooc: Ooo! Challenge!

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!" Peter sang cheerfully.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi smirked at Peter and folded her arms.

"You know why they say the sun never sets on the English empire?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Because it covered one-fifth of the world?" Peter replied. "Though I don't think that's the answer you'll be giving me."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I was going to say that God doesn't trust you Brits in the dark." she smirks. "But yours is good too."
