5th Floor Common Room - evening

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Since she's now afraid of her computer-- at least until someone explains how not to find pornography to her-- and Mrs. Gilmore told her to watch television, Evie has decided to do her homework.

She is currently watching a rerun of Crime & Justice. It's not entirely clear to her how it works, but it's definitely fascinating.

Pete had no such compunctions about pornography, but he was a restless soul from a time before sitting around and doing nothing was the national past time, so he was wandering about.

"This archetecture is not conducive to giant rocks. . . ."

Evie glanced his way, then drew herself up primly on the couch. "Good evening, Mr. Hutter." She glared at the television screen, and hoped one of the police detectives would hit someone sometime soon.

Then she had to ask. "Giant rocks?"

Hearing the TV, Peter peeked into the Common Room. "Hullo, Evie," he said with a smile. "What are you watching?"

[forgottenpants]

"They are a prime component in most successful jobs." Pete tipped his hat. "Ma'am."

The training from the cafeteria had stuck . . . Pete would be looking Gwynn in the eye from now on, if nothing else.

Not Evie yet. Alas.

Given Evie's recent experiences with pornography, she's no more amenable to this than she was before. But sadly, no better equipped to deal with it.

She grabbed a couch cushion and hugged it to her chest. "Rocks. Are a component in successful employment? How so?" Evie glard at him a bit. Perhaps he would catch a hint that way.

[forgottenpants]

"Well you've got to paint them first. . . ."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Peter!" Evie waved, then clutched the cushion to her chest again. "Crime & Justice. It's fascinating. Although, I'm not certain they're being strictly legal, lying to the suspect like that."

Naomi hadn't been up to the 5th floor Common Room yet and so that's where she headed up to, "hi," she said to no one in general because she still didn't know everyone in the room.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Paint them?" Evie blinked at him now, confused enough not to be hugging the cushion quite so much. "With what? And how? With symbols, or words, or...?"

[forgottenpants]

"With scenerey of course!"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't know," Peter said with a smile. "They're American so who can say that they approve of?"

[forgottenpants]

Pete was, miraculously, not immediately staring at Naomi's chest.

"Now those are some scars."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter smiled at the girl. "Good evening. How do you do?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie's getting more confused by the moment. "Are you an actor, Mr. Hutter?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Do you think that's it?" Evie asked, tilting her head at the television. "I assumed it was the time difference, but if you find them equally strange, then I shall put it down to geography, and not time-displacement. How have you been?"

[forgottenpants]

"While a certain level of pretense has been at times required in my chosen profession, I am not one of those namby types who enjoys prancing about on a stage."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Hullo?" Evie blinked, remembering this girl from orientation, but nearly two weeks later, and the bumps aren't quite as strange as they might be. "Welcome? I'm Evie. We're watching an American policeman show."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I'm about sixty years beyond my time so it may still be that," Peter said. "I just prefer to blame it on the Yanks." He grinned.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"I've always thought actors were frightfully interesting," Evie said, which was both the truth and conveniently opposite to Pete's opinion. "But if not acting, then how do giant rocks painted with scenery help you to accomplish a successful 'job'?"

Naomi was used to this kind of thing by now, "they're not scars," she said, she was smiling though

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi smiled in response, "I'm fine thank you, how are you?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Naomi replied, "I'm Naomi, an American policeman show?" she questioned, she wasn't too familiar with television shows yet

[forgottenpants]

"Well, they stop the train, don't they?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Well, I suppose I can get behind that," Evie said stoutly. "Right, then. American television makes sense only to Americans. Ha." She smiled brightly. "Oh, and I meant to tell you-- someone named their pony after you. I heard it on the Radio."

Evie had barely followed half of it, being very sleepy when the broadcast went out, so maybe she can be forgiven the mistake.

[forgottenpants]

"Then what in tarnation are they?"
