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.]

Molly had actually been on her way to find Dawn when she poked her head into the common room. "Cool. Free food." She went in and made herself a sandwich.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Molly, hi!"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly turned, sandwich in hand. "Dawn, hi! Did you do all this?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she nodded, eating a grape, "Figured it was my turn, plus I didn't have to cook. What's up?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"That's nice of you," Molly said with a grin. She added some chips and fruit to her plate, grabbed a soda and went to sit down.

"Not a lot going on," she said. "It's just that I've been reminded several times this week that I've been... not anti-social exactly, but I've missed a lot of interesting stuff lately. So, this is me being more social." She smiled and ate a few of her chips.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yay, social!" Dawn thought about that. "And you were all kinds of social on Sunday. And I saw you in Archery yesterday..."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, my reason for being less social was in DC on Sunday," she said with a smirk and a blush. "And I was concentrating so much on archery yesterday that I didn't talk to anyone. Meaning, the player forgot to do anything after signing in. Oops." She shrugged. "I got to see Greg turn into a hedgehog yesterday though. That was fun."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Isn't he cute?" Dawn bounced a little, not worried about him turning back. "I was concentrating too, not that it helped my archery. And did Cam have fun in DC?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"I got to take him to Isabel. His wee feeties are so cute!" There was a definite 'eeeeee!' quality to her tone of voice.

"Cam did have fun in DC. He got to go to the Air & Space museum. I'm actually surprised he went anywhere else."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I like the little quills on his head," Dawn giggled, "like he slept on it wrong."

"He's into flying, huh?" She shrugged, "not really my thing, but I can see that other people might like it."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly giggled too. "If I hadn't known it was Greg, but had to guess it was a student, he would have been my first guess."

She nodded. "Cam wants to be a pilot. Like, fighter planes, not airliners."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Wow. That's kind of...wow." Dawn didn't know what to say to that, really, especially given the distrust of the Army, after the Initiative went blooey. "Does that scare you?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly had never really thought about the danger of it before. "No. Why should it?" she asked.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um...don't fighter pilots have to be fighting...something?" Dawn asked, wondering if she'd misunderstood something essential.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"He's not a pilot yet though," Molly pointed out. "Why worry about something that hasn't happened yet?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"That's a good point," Dawn nodded, even though she'd be a little worried anyway.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"It'll be years before he even gets into a fighter jet and who knows what will happen between now and then," Molly said. I might not even be in this dimension anymore. But she couldn't actually bring herself to say that part.

Jamie waved. "Hey Molly. How's it going?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly waved back. "Hello, Jamie. It's going good. Interesting puppet show last night," she said with slightly narrowed eyes. She was grinning though, so she obviously wasn't too upset.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie tried but wasn't able to restrain the "Eep."

"Do I need to run?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"No. If I'd wanted to hurt you, I would have done it last night," Molly said. "We're not that bad though," she added with a pout.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Oh no! That was just an exaggeration for comedic effect!" Jamie said earnestly.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Which is why I'm not going to hurt you," she said. "It's was just..." she blushed slightly, "a little embarrassing when that was all the puppets did."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," Jamie said wincing slightly. "I couldn't think of anything else for the two of you to do. I considered bringing in an exploding sock cheesecake but I thought that would open some old wounds."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Hee! That would have been funny." She grinned. "It's okay, really. I've bugged you about it and now I'm over it."
