5th Floor Common Room - evening

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie was eating apple pie from Jeff, God of Biscuits (and she's been rather disappointed to find out he wasn't a *real* god), going over a dozen photocopied maps with highlighters (hurray!), and watching Wormhole X-Treme. She had *no* idea what was going on. But she rather liked Dr. Christian Levant.

There was a whole pie out on the counter, with cookies next to it. She'd go get another piece when the show was at the commercial.

"Hey... Evie, right?" Carmela says as she grabs a spot on the couch. "From Myths class with Doctor Covington."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Evie nodded with her mouth full, and waved, then swallowed and smiled. "Yes! Evie Carnahan. And you're Carmela, correct? Please, help yourself to some of the pie on the counter. It's delicious."

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

"Ooo, pie!" Carmela says with a grin, bouncing up to do just that. Sitting back down, she adds, "and that's my name, yes. Don't wear it out." She adds with a wink.

Evie giggled, then nodded toward the television set while circling a spot on her map of the Island in pink. "Do you understand this 'show'? I'm afraid I'm rather lost, coming in at the middle."

"I... think my friend's little sister watches it, sometimes," Carmela says thoughtfully. "They use the... portal thingies, which I *think* are like worldgates? To go to other planets and explore and beat up bad guys and stuff."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Ahhh. And that one, there? Dr. Levant?" Evie bounced a little. "He doesn't have a girlfriend, does he? And Grell used to be a bad guy, did I understand that correctly?" She made a rather expansive gesture with the highlighter, and ended up drawing a pink mark on her face.

Jamie walked into the room and began collecting the garbage.

He gave the other occupants of the room a glare. "Don't be making any messes today."

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't planning on it?" Evie said, cautiously. "Um, there's pie there? And cookies. If you want any." She blinked at him, intimidated.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"No thanks. I'm on duty," Jamie said throwing more trash into his bag.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Right. Um, well, should I not make messes tomorrow, as well?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"I'm not cleaning up tomorrow so you can make as much of a mess as you want," Jamie said with a small grin.

Door wanders upstairs, drawn by the sounds of the television echoing faintly down the stairwell.

"More space stories?" she asks, coming in and curling her feet under her in one corner of a couch.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Good evening, Door. Yes! They're exploring other planets. Although I'm rather disappointed nothing's tried to eat them yet." Evie waved her fork and added, "And there's pie. And cookies."

[notajar]

"Oh, thank you!" Door jumps up and procures herself a piece of pie. "Perhaps whatever lives where they're exploring has pie and cookies so it doesn't need to eat them," she adds thoughtfully as she sits back down.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

Well, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?" Evie looked thoughtful. "So far none of the 'aliens' I've met here are the explorer-eating kind. They're really all very nice. Even the ones who are partly demons. Ooo, perhaps the ones that eat people shall attack!" Evie looked a little scared but thrilled at the idea. "I wonder if hiding on the roof would be good?"

[notajar]

Door looks a bit alarmed. "Do they get a lot of attacks here?"

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

"This one has things that are sort of like worldgates," Carmela says wisely. "And explosions. There's always explosions."

[notajar]

"Between different dimensions?" Door takes a closer interest in the show. "Are they space-wizards then?"

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

"I think just different planets," Carmela says, waving a hand dismissively. As if interstellar travel weren't completely new to *her* less than half a year ago.

[notajar]

"I...might be able to do that," Door says thoughtfully. "Someday, anyhow. I'd be a bit afraid of opening a door into someplace with no air, though."

Lyra heard the TV on in the common room, and so wandered in.

"Hullo, Evie. Hullo, people I don't know. Ooh, hullo, pie!"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Please, help yourself," Evie said. "I can not possibly finish it all. This is Door, and Carmela. This is Lyra, my next-door neighbor."

[daemonridden.livejournal.com]

"Hullo, uh, Door, Carmela. Pleased to meet you." Lyra helped herself to a slice of pie and sat down in one of the overstuffed chairs to watch the program.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"That's Dr. Levant," Evie said, pointing to the screen, "And that's Major Stacy Danning. They and the others are exploring other planets using a space-ring. So far, they're trying to decipher the riddle of the Old Ones, to find out where the secret device is. I do so love serials." She smiled brightly at Lyra. "How has your week been?"

[daemonridden.livejournal.com]

"Huh," Lyra said, trying to absorb the TV show. "Sounds interesting. Uh, space ring?"

She tok a bite of her pie. "Mm, this is good. My week? Busy. I never seem to be caught up with schoolwork. You?"
