2nd Floor Common Room - Evening

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty is sitting in the lunge reading the instructions to his ouija board and scoffing. "Yeah right. Like that's supposed to work."

As Marty fiddles with the ouija board set up, the TV is currently showing the musical episode of Wendy the Werewolf Stalker.

"Hey, Marty. Whatcha up to?" Zero asked from the common room's doorway.

"Watching Wendy pretend to sing," Marty said snapping the ouija board together. "And believe it or not preparing for my prophecy class. How are you doing Zero?"

Peter wandered down to the common room and caught the TV. "Oh, cool, Wendy." Then he saw the ouija board. "Is this interactive television or something?"

"Nah, I'm working on my project for prophecy," Marty said placing the the board on the coffee table. "I'm just trying to see if there's anything to this gadget."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"'Gadget'?" Peter asked. "A piece of cardboard with a plastic pointer isn't exactly a gadget. It lacks gadgety bits."

[swerval_zero]

"Prophecy class, huh? I predict that the sun will come up tomorrow. But then, you never know. I'm all right. Didja catch the show Saturday night?" Zero asked, peering down at the ouija board.

Nadia wandered in. "Hey, Marty. What's that?"

Door wanders down when she tires of re-reading her notes on bird languages - the sound of people singing with actual human words is a welcome change. "Hello," she says, realizing as she enters the common room that there's no one here she actually knows yet. "I'm Door."

[swerval_zero]

"She can't sing," Zero told Peter mournfully.

[swerval_zero]

"Hi, Door," Zero said. "I'm Zero."

"Hey I know it says Parker Brothers on the side of the box, but people believe in this thing. Not me of course. I was just going to try it out," Marty said looking at Peter from the corner of his eyes. "Unless you're too chicken to try it out, Peter."

"She's not bad for an actress without formal training," Peter said. "It doesn't hurt my ears like her friend's singing does."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Your big debut?" Marty asked frowning slightly. "No I'm afraid I missed. I was feeling pretty rotten Saturday night. How did it go?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I'm just arguing against the 'gadget' classification. Not that I believe in it," Peter said. "So there's nothing to be chicken about."

[swerval_zero]

"Shhh. There is no friend. I cannot hear this friend of which you speak."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Hey Nadia. It's a ouija board. I'm trying it out for our prophecy project," Marty replied. "Has your group picked out a topic?"

[swerval_zero]

"I can no longer be your friend," Zero said, but she probably didn't mean it.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Door," Peter said. "Peter Parker. Not of the Parker Brothers who apparently made that bit of cardboard. Different Parker."

Nadia shrugged because her mun has no idea if we handwaved that or not. "Weegee? Never heard of it.

"At last, somebody with a normal name!" Door says with a grin. "I was beginning to think Bridge and I were the only ones."

Hermione has been studying pretty much nonstop for... a good long time, and she's more than happy to take her work elsewhere, just for a while. She takes a seat in one of the chairs and opens her book to study for her midterm.

"Hey, Nadia," Peter said. "How goes the things with the stuff?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Hi Peter. Which thing with what stuff?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Hi Door," Marty waved. "I'm Marty. Care to join us?"

"The idea is that you put your hands on the plastic planchette thingy there and ask the spirits a question," Marty said. "Then the spirits are supposed to guide your hand to an answer."
