Second Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

After a good all-out run around the island and a shower, Anders set up camp in the second floor common room for the night. Several large boxes from Pizza Planet were stacked up on the end table next to a bowling-pin setup of soda bottles, and the TV was tuned to Gelmoore Gals, mostly as background noise.

As for Anders, he was curled up on the couch, absentmindedly munching on slices of pizza and trying not to get too much grease on the pages of Plato's Symposium as he read.

"Why would you want to be only halfway useful?"

"Well, I'd like to be useful useful, but I don't want to get too ambitious right away, you know?"

"It's good to feel useful. Better than the alternative. Much better. It's strange here, sometimes, knowing there aren't things I need to do here. I like being useful. Being busy."

"Being busy's good when it helps keep my mind off things, I've noticed." Anders nibbled at the pizza crust and asked, "That why you like it, or do you just like being busy?"

Stark nodded. "It's easier not to think too much, dwell too much on things, if there are things to do. So it's better, being busy."

"Huh." Anders scratched his nose, thoughtfully. "Maybe that's why I've been taking such long workouts lately."

"So you can not think? Could be. It's just easier sometimes, not thinking about things." Stark frowned before adding, "have to think eventually though."

"Yeah. I like to try and procras -- what is that word? Put it off, though."

"Easy to do here, I think. Lots of people, lots of distractions."

"Which is a way of keeping busy. Maybe too busy, sometimes. Wonder if that's why teenagers have as many crises as we supposedly do, when all that putting-off finally gets to be too much?"

Stark shrugged. "I don't know. That would make sense."
