Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday Afternoon

[demonbelthazor]

Bel had learned about football last fall. Now he was pleased it was football season once again. So he'd taken over the fifth floor common room and was camped out with snacks and drinks to watch the games that afternoon. Right now it was the New England Patriots versus the New York Jets.

He picked the Patriots to root for. No reason.

Schrodinger found himself bored.

In general, this was a very bad thing. As in, "Is that flashing light red?" bad thing.

But he was under Captain-glare reinforced orders to keep his trouble causing discrete.

So instead, he popped into various common rooms, looking to see if anyone was doing anything. And he found someone.

"What's this?" Schrodinger asked from a seat next to Bel's where there had previously been only empty air.

Bel blinked. "You weren't there a second ago," he said. "How'd you do that?"

"Hey Bel," Cally said, as she came into the common room. "What's up?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Football!" Bel said happily. "Pull up a seat!"

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

"Easy," Schrodinger replied. "I am everywhere and nowhere."

Cally rolled her eyes. "Only cause I like you," she said, sitting down.

"What are you watching?" Luke asked, poking his head into the common room.

[demonbelthazor]

"Interesting," Bel said, looking Schrodinger over. "This? This is football."

[demonbelthazor]

"Luke!" Bel said, waving his Little Brother over. "Have a seat. It's my duty to introduce you to football."

[demonbelthazor]

"Not a fan?" Bel said.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Eh, it's a little weird for my tastes," Cally said. "That's all."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Let me guess, a ball you kick with your feet," Luke said, sitting down on a nearby sofa.

He glanced up at the television. "They're throwing it. I'm confused."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Hey Luke," Cally said with a wave.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Cally!" Luke replied, smiling. "How have you been?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Don't ask me why they call it that," Bel said. "They throw the ball and run with it, and just kick it sometimes. Just go with it. We're rooting for the Patriots."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Doin' pretty good, actually," Cally said. "And my lemming's been particularly cute, lately."

[demonbelthazor]

"Why's it weird?" Bel asked. He jumped up and glared at the TV. "What the hell? He was down!"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Go Patriots!" Luke said. "Um, which ones are they?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Lemming?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Because we don't have football back in the Colonies?" Cally said. "And compared to Pyramid, this sport is played by steroid pumping wusses with too much padding?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"It's a little furry thing about so big," she gestured. "Kinda like a guinea pig or a gerbil."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'll give you the too much padding," Bel said, nodding in agreement. "Be more manly if they didn't wear all that crap."

After her conversation with Jamie, Marie decided that she really did need to stop hiding in her room, so she wandered down the hall to the common room.

"Hey everyone," she greeted.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"You want to see the muscley guys wearing less? Color me not surprised."

[demonbelthazor]

"The ones in the white shirts and the blue pants," Bel said. "They've got the ball right now. The Jets are the ones in green. We want them to lose." He nodded to himself. "They've gotta get the ball down to the other end of the field there for a touchdown."
