Fifth floor common room, Thursday evening

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was sitting upside down on the couch, watching some weird show called Paul in the Past.

The main character looked remarkably familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.

Which was distracting her nicely from pondering ghosts and mutants and why she still hadn't had a useful dream or anything to help out.

Walter came in and craned his neck around as close to upside down as it would to look at Nadia.

"Are you trying to get more blood to your brain?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I'm trying to figure out who this actor reminds me of." Nadia blinked. "Why would I want more blood in my brain?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter blinked at the television, then grinned.

"Try picturing him in a tux." He sat down next to Nadia and poked her in the ribs. "And right side up."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hmmm." Nadia swung herself around right side up and tried to picture Paul in a tux. "Nope, still can't fiure it out."

Walter found himself rather more interested in the program than he might have been otherwise.

"Imagine him at prom, with a pretty girl in a strapless dress."

Pippi flounced in and sat on the back of the couch, leaning back until she flopped upside down onto the couch next to Nadia.

"Hauntings suck."

[nadiathesaint]

"No, this episode is about his parents going out of town, not about the prom. . . ." Nadia peered at the tv. "Though that image does sound really familiar,"

[nadiathesaint]

"Any more news on that front?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Right." Different approach. "Does this sound familiar, 'What is she mate your sister? Come on! Put your back into it man!'?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Oh!" Nadia grinned, then blinked, then frowned. "Wait, no, he's not the guy who took the photos at the prom. . . . "

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"And who did he take pictures of...?" Walter prompted.

[nadiathesaint]

"Everyone at the prom?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter cocked his head. "Are you having me on?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I know I've seen him somewhere before. . . ."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"In the mirror...?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia thought about this for several moments. "Oh! Boy-me is on TV!"

Seras poked her head into the common room.

"The little glowing box is on, but it's not showing me sweaty men fighting to kick a ball into nets at the opposite end of a field. This is very odd, indeed..."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, sometimes we need to watch other things. Boy-me is on TV."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Apparently, this has happened here before. And all the people who were haunted died or something, according to what Tyler and Bel told me Veronica told them. When I was talking to Bel, he tried to shoot his ghost and said that she said something about "feeding him"... Not feeding Bel... Feeding somebody else."

Seras raised an eyebrow.

"Boy-you?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter clapped his hands for her and grinned. "I'll give you a break on that, since you didn't look at his face as much as I did." Face. Yes. That's it.

"He's better looking in person, I think."

[nadiathesaint]

"Maybe that multi-armed thing you saw in the crystal ball? I hope Veronica told them about what I found in the library yesterday,"

[nadiathesaint]

"I turned into a boy twice last semester. And that guy looks just like I did when I was a boy."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Hullo, Seras." Walter pointed to the television. "I went to prom with him - sort of."

[nadiathesaint]

"Maybe he's just better looking when he's me?"
