Third Floor Common Room, Lunchtime

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

After a handwavey walk into town for supplies, Dawn set out a bunch of sandwich fixings, pretzels, chips of various descriptions, cookies, fruit, lemonade, iced tea, and soda.

A small handwritten sign told people to help themselves, so she didn't have to keep repeating herself.

As for Dawn, she sat down with a book to enjoy her hummus with cheese, sprouts, carrots and sweet pickles. Occasionally she sipped from her lemonade.


[ooc: Open to all, mod any sandwich fixings or side items you'd like.]

After a quick trip to town (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/923140.html?thread=36209668#t36209668) to aquire a small basket (http://www.simplybaskets.com/files/lg_Antiqued_Mt._Lebanon_Shaker_Ash_Market_Basket_A.jpg), Isabel returned to the dorm, settled her hedgehog boyfriend into the basket, and wandered down to the third floor. Her goal was to find Peter and fill him in on the status of his roommate, but hearing the voices in the common room, she decided to stop there first.

"Hey, Isabel! Have a sandwich." Dawn offered, looking up. "What's with the basket?

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I will, thanks Dawn," Isabel said. But first she walked over to Dawn and held the basket out so that she could see the small hedgehog riding comfortably on a folded up towel in the bottom. "I should have made the goulash. This is Greg."

Dawn couldn't help the "Awwwwwww."

"At least he's a cute little animal. Porcupine?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hedgehog," she laughed. "I find it oddly appropriate for some reason. Let me go get some food and then I have a question for you."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, okay," Dawn leaned over the basket. "Who's a cute widdle hedgehog?"

Isabel returned a few minutes later with a sandwich and a few carrots and some grapes. She dropped some in the basket, then scratched Greg's head. "Here, lunch."

"Did you hear I'm planning a Fourth of July party?" she asked Dawn as she took a seat on the counch next to the basket.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Maybe?" Dawn said, trying to remember. "Nice idea, though. Need a hand?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure I will," Isabel said. "Especially as we get closer. The one thing you can do right now is start working on convincing your boyfriend he needs to play volleyball. Actually you both should. We're going to have a tournament starting that weekend."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I'm not so much with the coordinated team sports," Dawn said, thinking of how he'd might have been sorry to have missed basketball, "but I bet Dean would be really good at it."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well convince him and then you and I can sit on the sidelines and cheer," she grinned. "How's that for a plan?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good," Dawn grinned back. "So, what made you decide to do this?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Jaye and I had a conversation about shirtlessness," Isabel admitted with a blush. "And about the ideal Fourth of July. I thought about it and figured the only way to get it was to organize it myself. So I talked to Hawkeye and got permission and a budget."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Shirtless volleyball?" Dawn sat up straighter and decided that Dean had to participate. "Did you tell Hawkeye that? What kind of activities are you planning?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Shirtlessness won't be required, but you have to figure it'll be on the beach, in the sun, and the heat. The players will want to keep cool," Isabel seriously. "Why bother with that extra layer?"

"As far as activities, I'm going to talk to Jarod about having all the stuff from the Beach workshop available to use. That means kayaks, canoes, surfboards, boggie boards and sand stuff. There's going to be music, a bonfire when the sun goes down, and if I can swing it? Hopefully the some fireworks. Oh and food of course."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Wow, you really take this stuff seriously," Dawn said, impressed.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I want it to be a good time for everyone," she shrugged. "Hopefully I'll be able to pull it off. Of course I'll probably do all this planning and it'll rain all day."

Jamie waved at Isabel. "Hey Iz. How's it going?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel pointed at the basket and shrugged. "My boyfriend's a hedgehog. You tell me."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Well that's a bummer," Jamie said looking at the hedgehog in amazement. "What did he do?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He went an investigated a closet that's been known to turn people into animals," she explained. "It should only be temporary. I hope."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh. And this closet is where?" Jamie asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's over near the journalism classroom I think," Isabel said. "Why? Do you want to investigate as well?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Uh. No. I'd rather stay my in the form I'm in now thank you," Jamie said. "No matter how cute and cuddley that closet might make me."

Jamie then looked at his watch. "Yikes I was supposed to call home. I'll see you later Iz."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Bye Jamie!" Isabel called after him.
