Fourth Floor common room, Sunday morning

[demonbelthazor]

Bel awoke with a groan. The common room couch really wasn't big enough for him to sleep comfortably, so he'd tossed and turned all night. Wait -- why was he sleeping on the couch instead of going back to his room? He vaguely remembered not having his keys, but when he checked his pocket, he found them there. So why had he slept on the couch?

Then it all started coming back to him.

He sat up and held his head in his hands, groaning some more. Gremlins must die.

Marie was wandering. She'd walked past the fifth floor common room and, upon seeing people throwing knives, decided to look elsewhere for people to hang out with.

She spotted Bel in the fourth floor common room and poked her head in.

"You okay?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Kill me," he said unhappily.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"What?" Marie asked, blinking as she entered the room and sat down.

[demonbelthazor]

"Gremlin bite," Bel said, as if those two words should explain everything.

Except for the part where they totally didn't. "What are you talking about? Does this have something to do with Nadia turning into a gremlin at the game yesterday?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Nadia bit me?" Bel said. "I'm gonna kill her."

Blair wandered out to forage for food and smiled at Bel and Marie. "Morning, guys!"

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Blair!" Marie grinned.

"Morning! How's your weekend been?" Blair smiled while he looked for breakfast food. "Do you want a bagel?"

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Oh, a bagel would be great!" Marie said. "My weekend's been good. I got to cheer yesterday, even though my team lost. How about you?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Toasted or not?" Blair held up the bag of bagels and bounced. "I had dentention, but all I had to do was play equipment manager for the day. Nothing too bad."

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Toasted, please," Marie requested. "Oh, is that why you were at the game? I wondered, but I never got a chance to ask you. Is that Willow was on the sidelines too?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel groaned and buried his head under a pillow.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair blinked and walked closer. "Bel? What's up, man?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel removed the pillow from his face and sat up. "Nothing," he said. "I'm fine. How are you?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure, man?" Blair asked, taking a seat across from him. "I'm good, detention wasn't bad at all and I got to go to the game."

Parker waved to Blair as she walked in, (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/733685.html?thread=50979061#t50979061) smiling fiendishly at Bel. "Hey, Blair? How's your morning?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"It's good, Parker. How's yours?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker grinned in Bel's direction. "Getting better. And hey, have you seen Nadia around? Or a camera, maybe, that looks like mine?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Nope, sorry. I'll keep an eye out for it, though." Blair smiled. "Have you checked her room?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker, not being hungover, post-gremlin-bite, or sick, was checking out common rooms, looking for people.

Oh, loooooooook.

"Hiiiii, Bel. How're you doing?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel sank down in the couch, wishing it would turn into some sort of couch demon that would swallow him up whole.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Ah. I see you're feeling like yourself again." Parker looked intensely sad. "No more bouncing? Awwwww."

[demonbelthazor]

"No more bouncing," Bel grumbled, "except for when I bounce gremlin heads off the wall."

"Does that mean you won't be helping the sex worker interdimensional underground railroad? Because I have my *heart* set on telling Angel about it."
