Fourth Floor Common Room//Thursday Morning

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras had taken the medicine that Ms. Poppins had given her before bed last night. It had, oddly enough, tasted just like gingerbeer. And, it seemed to be at least somewhat effective.

Seras still looked rather corpse-like, but her appetite was back. Which was a good thing because the two pairs of jeans that she hadn't cut up while under the impression that she was, in fact, an anarchist punkish rebel, were starting to bag at the waist.

Still clad in pajamas and wearing thick, though mismatched socks, she'd made her way down to the Common Room and fixed herself (and anyone else who cared for some) a large batch of apple cinnamon oatmeal with lots of brown sugar.

She was now curled up on the couch, dividing her attention between her breakfast, the old Errol Flynn movie that was on tv, and her copy of the London Times, circa 1993.


[Open!]

Teddy smelled food. Food that that neither came in a can, nor was made of mac that was particularly easy.

He pokes his head in the common room and sees Seras.

Usual manners forgotten he asks, "Food?"

Seras looked up. Another new guy. Man, she had to start meeting all the new people, curse her wussy immune system.

"Through there," she said, using her spoon to point the way to the kitchen where she'd laid out the pot of oatmeal and some bowls and spoons.

Teddy runs walks at a sedate pace to the kitchen and returns with a bowl of oatmeal.

"Thank you so much! I haven't had much real food since I got here."

He extends his hand, "I'm Teddy by the way."

"New person," Tyler noted. "Hi."

Cally wandered up from having said goodbye to Xander, a little sniffly. She heard the TV on the fourth floor, so she came in to see who was all gathered. She tilted her head at Seras' newspaper.

"Research?" she asked.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras smiled at Cally and shook her head.

"I'm from 1993, and I took out a subscription before I left for Fandom," she said, "So, technically, this is the lastest news."

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Food. Food was good.

Tyler wandered up to the common room and sniffed at the oatmeal. "Hi, Seras. Is this for everyone?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras smiled because who doesn't like apples and cinnamon?

"Yup. There's a big pot in the kitchen. Help yourself."

Schrodinger's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Tyler.

Had he been told about this one? He couldn't remember...

Blair bounced into the common room with River. "Hi!"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River waved her camera. "Someone want to take a photo of us?"

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler started to wave to Blair before he noticed River.

His oatmeal suddenly got much, much more fascinating. He'd managed to avoid her for almost a month, and he wondered if he could stretch that for the whole year.

Naomi had wandered into the fourth floor common room as she hadn't been in there yet and saw that there were people (and food), "hi," she said to everyone in general.

Seras waved to the person she did not recognize.

"Morning! Want some breakfast?"

Agnes had spent the previous day once again trying to understand just what she'd been seeing. She'd gotten out to handwavily explore the town to have an idea of its streets and shops, but she'd kept to herself rather then socializing.

All the socializing was a bit overwhelming, actually, but she thought she was starting to find her footing.

So, common room. Right. There she was. Going to the common room. She'd even left her hat in her room.

She peeked in the common room door then straightened herself and went inside.

"Good morning."

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"Morning," Tyler said. "Seras made oatmeal." It was easy to be geneerous with other people's food.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Agnes! Hello!" Blair bounced and waved.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Agnes!" Insanely pleased to see someone he knows, Teddy walks over to her, still holding his bowl of oatmeal a bit too protectively to be healthy.

"How's the roommate situation?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras waved a cheerful spoon at the newcomer and metally added another tick to her list of English people in Fandom.

Or at least people who sounded like they were English.

"Morning! Want some breakfast?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally waved enthusiastically at Agnes. "Heeeey."

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger, with those pesky cat-like senses, smelled food. And like any cat, he followed it.

He bounded into the room, looking for food when he was struck with the girl lying on the couch.

The most beautiful girl he had ever seen. With... assets that would make Zorin blush. He stared at her in unashamed wonder.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

The...boy had ears. Kitty cat ears. Kitty cat ears that were definitely not a hat.

Right. Fandom.

If Seras noticed Schrodinger's staring, her brain edited and interpreted that information to conclude that he must be hungry and thus staring at her oatmeal.

"Would you like some breakfast?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hey breakfast!"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair turned to the nearest bowl of oatmeal to see if it was going to respond to Pippi.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Captain!"
