Fifth Floor Common Room, Friday late afternoon/early evening

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

No news was not necessarily good news, but it was news in that there was no news. (Say that five times fast and watch your eyes cross.) Walter had spent several hours canvassing the island, looking for anything or anyone out of the ordinary and coming up empty.

So now he was watching Galaxy Quest and eating a box bowl of cereal while he waited to hear back from Nadia.

[ooc: It's common. It's a room. It's ooooooooopen.]

Gwynn came out of her room long enough to forage for something to drink. She gave Walter a slight, though sad, smile as she headed to the fridge.

"Hi, Walter."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter turned away from the TV and swallowed a mouthful of cocoa pebbles before saying, "Hi, Gwynn." He looked at the sad smile and frowned. "Are you alright?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn paused, ready to say she was, but then she shook her head.

"Tim is leaving."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Tim is?" Walter frowned more. "I suppose I thought he would be staying for school."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn nodded, her eyes suspiciously bright. "I thought so, too... but he cannot."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter nodded. "When is he leaving?"

Is it wise to sneak up behind a paranoid vampire hunting Butler and put your hands over his eyes?

Ah well.

"Guess who?"

Joxer wandered up a floor, hoping to find Kaylee, as usual.

"Walter, Gwynn," He waved in turn. "Anyone seen the cutest girl in the world?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

It would be exceedingly unwise. It would be a good thing, then, that said paranoid vampire hunting butler had noticed Pippi's entrance and did not attempt to introduce her to the grand pirate tradition of artificial limbs.

"The queen of Qualalonzoo?"

"Why are you looking for my girlfriend?" Walter asked, waving a spoon in greeting.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I'm not," Joxer said. "I'm looking for mine." He grinned. "What're you eating?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate cereal," Walter said, pointing to the box of cereal on the counter. "I haven't seen Kaylee, no."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate. . . cereal?" Joxer wandered over to the counter and peered into the box. "What makes it different from other chocolates?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"You pour it in a bowl and eat it with milk, supposedly for breakfast," Walter said. "I think it's just an excuse to eat chocolate, myself."

It was good, because Papa has said very firmly 'no hooks' until she was eight-teen.

"No! The Princess of Kurrakurradutt!"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"You need an excuse to eat chocolate?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Tell her I gave at the office."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Cereal is often considered a breakfast food." Walter shrugged. "There's no chocolate cereal in my time. Food now is a bit odd, if you ask me"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"You're telling me," Joxer said. "I still don't understand how half of this stuff gets made."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I think if we knew, we wouldn't eat it." He waved his spoon at the box. "Try some. It's not bad."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"She doesn't have an office."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer unceremoniously dug a hand into the box, grabbed as much as he could grip, and shoved it into his mouth. He chewed for a bit, before smiling.

"Thish ish good!" he said, still having a mostly full mouth.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter grinned and grabbed one of her wrists, theoretically to tug her over the edge of the couch. "I didn't say her office, did I?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Try putting it in a bowl and adding milk," Walter suggested. "And use a spoon to eat it, alright?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Ack!"
