4th Floor Common Room, Monday Morning

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair was too excited about new students, being a big brother and the fact that he was a virgin again to get a lot of sleep so he had been sitting in front of the tv in his room for several hours. There were lots of infomercials on late at night. As it got closer to morning, Blair was afraid of disturbing Broots and his fish with noise if he turned the tv up louder so he headed out to the common room to watch CNN.

Ooh! One last airing of the Pasta Express infomercial. It was no George Foreman 13 in 1 Rotisserie Bonanza, but Blair admired the simplicity of it's design. Like the fact that it was just a plastic tube with a lid.


[so incredibly open]

Jack was up early, because sleeping alone was never any fun. A moment's brief debate sent him up to the fourth floor to find Cedric, but the lights and sounds from the common room caught his attention.

"Hey," Jack nodded at the guy watching TV. "New student, or old student I don't know?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Old student you do know?" Blair raised an eyebrow. "It's Blair, Jack. We played monopoly together."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Ah." Jack walked over and sprawled across a chair. "Yeah. See, there's this whole thing where I don't remember that. Did I win?"

Agnes had tried sleeping, but there was a boy sleeping in the same room with her. That wasn't something she'd gotten used to yet. She left her room and followed the light down to the common room where she then stood gaping at the television.

Granny and Nanny would be appalled.

"Bummer." Blair shook his head and grinned. "Nobody won actually. Nadia and I held a sit-in at the jail and there was talk of explosions and a break out and the board got turned over."

"Besides the kissing, you played very well."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Morning!" Blair waved. "I don't think I've met you yet. I'm Blair."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack looked up, saw the expression on her face, and jumped to the obvious conclusion. "You just got here today, right? And everything's completely different than where you come from?"

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Agnes pulled her attention away from the box with people in it. "Oh. I'm Agnes. Nice to meet you, Blair."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"There was kissing?" Jack asked, grinning at Blair's story. "I hate not remembering the kissing. Who did I kiss and did they enjoy it?"

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Agnes said gratefully. "That's exactly it. Everything is different."

Perdita gave a low whistle inside her head.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Come, sit down, take it easy." Jack smiled at her reassuringly and sat up, pointing at a chair near the TV. "It'll get easier, trust me."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"You offered to kiss everyone. I think it was to try and pay your bills." Blair shook his head. "Although I suspect that people just liked the kissing. I think it was Parker, Isabel and Sam, but I'm not sure."

"Must suck not to remember anything. What happened?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Did you want to watch something specific on tv or are you good with the spaghetti commercial. It cooks in only 8 minutes!" Blair was entirely too bouncy over that.

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

I bet he says that to all the girls, Perdita said.

Agnes ignored her and went to sit in the indicated chair, but first she stopped to look at the television, going so far as to rap on the glass with her knuckles.

"There aren't really people trapped in there, are there?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Maybe?" Jack laughed and shook his head. "No, there's not. I'm Jack. Jack Harkness." He held out his hand and tipped his head to the side, waiting.

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Agnes shook her head in bemusement. "I dont think I understood most of what you just said."

There's a surprise, Perdita said from her place watching everything.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Ooohkay." Blair thought for a moment. "Do you need me to talk slower or is this a 'hooboy, I'm from a different dimension where we don't wear pants' sort of problem?"

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Agnes took his hand and gave him a firm handshake, looking him directly in the eye. "Agnes Nitt, pleased to meet you."

Perdita snickered. Very.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I'll have to remember that for next time I run out of money." Jack looked briefly smug, then ran a hand through his hair, not sure exactly what he should say.

"It does suck, yeah. I was gone for about six weeks, and I think my memories just found somewhere they liked better than here," he tapped his temple, "and decided to stay."

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Agnes turned bright red. She was most definitely wearing her knickers, but why was that his business.

"I'll have you know I wear pants every day," she said tartly.

I don't think that's what he meant.

Oh, quiet you.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Again with the 'that stinks' comment." Blair shook his head. "Although your memory was nice enough to leave your intelligence intact. Or at least, I'm assuming so since you're talking and enrolled in school."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack lifted her hand and kised the back of it, holding her gaze while he did so. "A pleasure to meet you, Agnes. Welcome to Fandom."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair blushed in return and shook his head. "Oh my god, I didn't mean it like that. I just...sometimes we have students who come from different time periods or dimensions or even different planets. I was just trying to figure out if you didn't understand my language or it was the concepts that we were having problems with."

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Don't you dare pull your hand back! There was a brief fight between Agnes and Perdita before she slowly drew her hand back and turned a flaming red, the blush rushing up her neck so fast Agnes thought steam might rise from the top of her head.

She croaked and had to clear her throat before squeaking out, "Thank you."

[singasoloduet.livejournal.com]

Agnes was aware of Perdita snickering at her, which didn't help the blush any.

"The concepts. I think I understand the language well enough."
