Second Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam hadn't had enough room in her own dorm room to read the swoop bike schematics from Anakin properly, so now they were spread out on the common room floor. She was taking notes and adding her own annotations to the plans, in the hopes that she'd know what she was doing when it came time to help Cameron.

There was a radio playing oldies on in the background, and Sam occasionally sang (badly) a lyric or two. Besides, the work helped her keep her mind off where she'd gotten them, and the fact that she wouldn't be able to ask Anakin for help when she got stuck.

Evie came in with her notebook and took a seat on one of the couches, watching Sam with amazement. "Hullo. WHat are you doing?"

She began to write down, in Arabic, so no one could understand it:
Special Collections
mummies
curses
acrobatic tiny bunnies
Sapphists
free love in the 51st Century
Siletti's Syndrome
aspirin = sex madness

...trying to keep track of all the new things she'd learned.

"Hi Evie," Dean greeted her, sitting down near her. "How's it going?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Oh, so that's what that does...yeah, that makes...oh, huh?" Sam blinked as she looked up and saw the new student. "Swoop bike. Hi."

Billy nodded.

As long as he was being abnormally social today, Stark figured he should try and say hello to any new people he spotted. And there happened to be a new person on the couch right over there. Or so he thought.

"Hello. Are you new?"

[swerval_zero]

"You're new," Zero observed. "I'm Zero. Hi!"

Elizabeth waved at the new girl as she found her book underneath the chair's pillow.

Dean wandered down to see if there was anything happening anywhere and came across Sam.

"My Dad puts the stuff he's researching up on the wall" he offered dryly.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"My walls are already full," Sam said, completely serious, "so I needed space. Hey, Dean. Slumming down here on the second floor?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Hey Dean."

Some people have free food radar.

Bridge? Has the uncanny ability to tell when someone is working on an interesting project. At least, that's one explanation for why he shows up in the common room and immediately goes to look over the schematics Sam's spread out.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Bridge!" Sam was thrilled to see someone who could appreciate what they were looking at. "Anakin gave me swoop bike plans. Want to help me adapt an old Harley Davidson to them sometime?"

[stykera]

Stark had spent most of the morning in the 3rd floor common room, because they'd had the free food of the day. Now he thought he'd see what was going on in the CR down the hall. Who knew he was up for that much socializing in one day? I certainly didn't

"Hello," he called out, waving to the occupants of the room.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Sam called, looking up from her blueprints, but not really registering. If she just carried the two...

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

And now someone was wearing a mask. Good grief it was just like old times. Hopefully this guy wasn't evil.

[soldtoarmenians]

Bridge has schematics-dar; Xander has Bridge-dar.

Or possibly he just followed, since it's hard to drop off someone's radar when they're staring at your ass.

"Hey, Sam," Xander said, coming up to look over Bridge's shoulder at the schematics.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Xander," Sam waved from where she was kneeling over the blueprints. "Are you stealing my partner?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"She has swoop bike schematics..." Bridge may sound slightly awed.

Evie waved cautiously, saying, "Hullo?" as another new boy came in. He looked normal. Perhaps the Syndrome wasn't as widespread as Mr. Gavin feared? That would be nice.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy, deciding to explore a bit, came upon the second floor common room. those shcematics looked similar to something Zartan was fond of. This place was just seeming too familiar at times.

"What's that?" he asked.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Swoop bike," Sam answered, still engrossed in the schematics. Oh, wait, that page was upside down.

[swerval_zero]

Zero came into the common room in search of people to hang out with, and possibly newbies. "Hey, Sam. Whazzat?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Blueprints," Sam said happily, "Oooh, I like the red. Nice."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth had misplaced a book, and thus came wandering into the common room to find it.

"Hey, Sam," she said, waving, before heading towards the chair she'd sat on last time she was in there. "What you working on there?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Liz," Sam said, not looking up. "And I've got swoop bike blueprints. Translated into English."

Blair stopped by the common room on his way upstairs and waved to people. "Hello 2nd floor!"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Blair!" Evie waved a little frantically to him, utterly relieved to see someone who wouldn't lie to her or embarass her. "How are you?"

Alec wandered into the room and flopped on one of the couches, doing a credible impression of something draped across the cushions. "Evening, people, whomever some of you are."

[swerval_zero]

Oooh, he smelled good. Zero came over and sort of stared at Alec.
