Second Floor Common Room, evening

In the evening, after classes was over, Hamlet wandered down to the second floor common room to watch Supers, that new drama series about people with superpowers. It seemed as though every episode ended with a cliff hanger, he wanted to find out the answer to this week's. The chips and snacks were just a bonus.

Buffy was looking for someone who was watching Supers, and finally succeeded with common room 2. She flopped down in the couch. "I hope we'll see more of the cheerleader girl. I like her, even though, oh my god, gross."

Hamlet nodded. "Exceedingly disgusting. Where do you think she was? A morgue, or something eviler?"

"Ooh, I don't know." Buffy frowned in thought. "I think she might've been somewhere evil..."

Hamlet considered that. "You don't think her adoptive father might have been behind it? He comes off as the evil type, but I can't determine exactly what his motive is yet."

"Maybe? But I think he loves her, so I don't know. That definitely didn't look like an morgue I've ever been to, though." Not that she'd been to that many (yet).

"Still, it does seem a bit on the odd side that he'd steal a video of her using her powers, especially after attacking that Indian professor and his father," he said.

"True." Buffy sighed. "This is a very confusing show!"

He smiled. "Let's hope that they give us the answers to all the mysteries they present us with faster than some of the other shows on television."

Buffy grinned back. "Positive thought! You're a cheerleader, remember?"

Hamlet rolled his eyes at that. "Oh, don't worry about me. I've got spirit, yes I do."

In his exploration of this massive cave, Dragon!Billy found his way to yet another chamber. The small lizard head poked around the door frame before the rest of the body followed it.

Hamlet noticed the lizard during a commercial break in the show. His first response was to blink at it a couple times.

Dragon!Billy paused at the sight of the big things. They didnt' seem to be making any hostile movements, so he ventured further inside. There was another glowing rock in this chamber.

Hamlet continued staring at the lizard for a bit, before moving his chips a little farther away from it.

Dragon!Billy spotted something a lot more appetizing anyway. He began to stalk a spider he'd spotted near the coffee table.

Setsuna was looking for distractions that didn't involve her thinking about her best friend and his "Hi, I'm a freakin' giant" boyfriend, which meant steering clear of her floor and the third floor. So here she was, second floor, dropping onto the couch and tilting her head at the screen. "What're we watching?"

Hamlet nodded as Setsuna took a seat. "Supers. It's a new television drama this season."

"Hm," Setsuna made a generally noncommitted sound, watched for a bit. "What's it about?"

"Ordinary people who suddenly discover that they've developed superpowers." He pointed to the cheerleader on the screen, who was currently staring at her pinned-open stomach and screaming. "Her's is that she's nearly indestructible and unkillable."

Setsuna winced only slightly at the display of violence; the expression on her face was more thoughtful than anything else, considering the screaming. "Can she still feel pain normally? Or is this just the psychological shock of witnessing something obviously not right and responding more in horror than pain?"

"It might be psychological," he said, after a moment's pause. "She's broken quite a few bones so far, and she never seems to show any outward signs of feeling pain."

Setsuna nodded. "That's not so bad, then. It would be terrible to still have to feel all the pain, but never, ever die."

"Mmm," said Hamlet in agreement. "That would be a form of endless torture."

That pause completely was not Setsuna thinking of how to administer such a thing to her enemies. At all. Especially once she considered that she technically didn' t have many enemies she'd want to spend the effort on when they could just be sliced up with a few quick swings.

"What sort of powers do the other characters get?"

"There's a police officer who can read minds, an artist who can see the future when high, a woman with a murderous split personality, a politician who can fly, and his brother who seems to be a power leach of some kind. There's also a young Indian professor, but they have yet to reveal any powers for him."

Setsuna considered each of these, trying to think of a suggestion of what the young Indian professor's super power might be, but not feeling creative enough. "Interesting," she commented idly.

~~The mun would suggest that the professor's power is how very hot he is.~~

"So far it is," he said. "Most of the characters have yet to meet, but the premise is interesting so far."

Setsuna nodded, with another small, thoughtful sound, and tried to commit herself to watching the program a bit to see if she can pick up on much of it.

Demyx sneaked into the common room, trying not to attract attention to himself - herself? - and finding a spot out of the way. She smoothed her blue plaid schoolgirl skirt, feeling horribly self-conscious in girl clothes. But, well...it was kindof fun. Unless she ended up seeing people she knew. And then it would just be embarrassing.

A noise from behind directed Hamlet's attention to a new girl entering the room. There was something oddly familiar about her.

"Pardon me, but have I seen you around before?"

"Um...no. No, I don't think we've met." Panic! Fight the panic! "I'm just, uh, visiting. My cousin! I mean, my friend's cousin's father's sister's nephew!" Yes! Perfect coverup.

"I see," Hamlet said, nodding at the pretty girl. "If you don't mind me asking who is your friend's cousin's father's sister's nephew? Anyone I'd know?"

"Oh, um..." Damn! Foiled! Demyx shifted, trying to think quickly - which had never really been his strongest suit. "I guess, um...do you know Demyx?" Quick! Think of a fake name!

"Yes, I've met him a few times," he replied. "I must say you look quite a bit like him."

"Oh, um, do I?" Demyx looked around nervously. Think! Think! "Thank you. He's very handsome." Flutter eyelashes, look innocent...yes! He was getting the hang of this! "I'm Delilah. It's nice to meet you, Hamlet." Nevermind that he never actually introduced himself.

Hamlet thought it kind of suspicious that Delilah already knew who he was, but decided to keep going.

"A pleasure to meet you, Delilah. We rarely get as many visitors as pretty as you here."

Cue extreme blush. "Oh, thank you. You're so nice. But I think my boyfriend would be jealous." Demyx was trying so hard to bs his way out of this.

Setsuna gave a soft smile to the girl as she noticed her entering. She seemed a little nervous, and Setsuna had so been there, so she wanted to seem encouraging.

Demyx glanced at her, forcing a slight smile.
