2nd Floor Common Room [Wednesday Evening]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Okay, so hot weather + cold beverages = OTP.

Which is why Bridge had spent the morning before his workshop working on a slushy machine. Which he'd now dragged out to the common room in order to find people who would be willing to test it out.

He's also got his laptop perched on a table, for... no reason at all. Really. It's not like he's expecting to hear from someone about something.

[ooc: mod any slushy flavour you'd like! unless it's gross, like spinach or something.]

Anders finally emerges from his room for the first time all day and wanders next door to the common room. If it's possible to look simultaneously more cheerful than usual and deeply, deeply confused, he's doing that right now.

"Bridge! Best bud dude! Whatcha doin'?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Making slushies," Bridge says, slurping at a watermelon-flavoured one. "Want one?" he waves at the machine.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Sure! They're not all that flavor, are they?" Anders peers at the machine, then notices the laptop. "Whatcha doin' to that?"

Xander dashes back into the Common Room after having run down to his own room, and returns bearing a stack of plastic cups, leftovers from Scoobying, which he sets on the counter.

Then he fills his own up with... well, he pushed buttons randomly, so what's actually in the cup is anybody's guess. It's orange. He's staring at it.

"I promise it won't be anything weird," Bridge says cheerfully.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Nah, it's kind of random." Bridge shrugs. "Nothing gross, though." He glances over at the laptop. "That? Nothing, really..." he says, uneasily.

[soldtoarmenians]

"We're both from California - define weird?" Xander says, cautiously rasing the cup to his lips.

"Harris!" Anders called, waving at him with a slushy which he will totally ping in as actually getting in a moment, I swear.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Dude," Anders says, noting the uneasiness as he pokes buttons and ends up with a bright green slushy with lots of little black seeds in it. "You know you can tell me, right? If stuff's worrying you?"

"Huh," he says after a moment of sampling the slushy. "That's a tangy kinda flavor."

It's kiwi. Not that he knows what kiwi is. Just that he likes it.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"It's not gonna taste like carrots."

[soldtoarmenians]

"Okay, just as long as I know the scale we're working on." Xander takes a drink.

[soldtoarmenians]

"Hey, Anders!" Xander waved his own slushy, which didn't appear to be carrot-flavored, yay.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"How are things with you, BFF-in-law?" Anders took another pull at his slushy. Whee, crunchy little kiwi seeds.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well?" Bridge says expectantly.

[soldtoarmenians]

"Tangerine, I think." Xander sips appreciatively at it. "Not bad."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge says, smiling slightly. "I know. And... I will. It's just, kinda not only my thing to tell, you know? Also, I think that might be kiwi flavour."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, I haven't managed to get that one yet!" Bridge says.

[soldtoarmenians]

"I gave everybody in my workshop a headache yesterday," Xander told him, grinning. "Whaddya know, I really am a teacher."

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander studies the controls. "I wonder if it'll do Black Space Evil flavor, minus the evil. That's a berry thing, right?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I get that," Anders says, downing some more of the slushy. "The not my thing to tell part, too. 'cause . . . oh, dude."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"That's what Willow said! She's all proud of you," Anders replied. "Not that there was actual spitting, but that's how proud of you she said she was. Congrats, man. You have achieved true teacherhood."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Lavaberry, yeah," Bridge nods. "I don't see why it wouldn't."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge eyes Anders. "And you know the same goes for you, right? If there's stuff you need to talk about?"

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander wrinkled his forehead. "I so have no idea where she got that saying. It sounds like something she'd learn from somebody in my family, except while I can totally believe the spit, I can't picture a situation where 'proud' would come up."

Z poked her head in the common room and found Bridge and slushies. This seemed like an excellent combination to her. "Where are the slushies coming from?" she asked.
