Saturday Evening, Third Floor Common Room

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Stupid power," Dawn grumbled, lighting the candle on the table near her, then got up to turn off the television and overhead light. The power (at least in the common room) had been intermittently annoying all day, and it was back in the annoying period.

So she was now reading by candlelight and pretending she was Abe Lincoln.


[ooc: Post is open to all; Power is out, so bring your own candle.]

"True," Molly said. "And reading is hard in this much dark."

Dawn squinted. "It really, really is. We need emergency lighting."

"Hmm, maybe the fuse on them blew." Molly said totally covering her admin butt. I know I saw them come on a couple times when the power flicked earlier."

"Figures. So here we are, a bunch of teenagers in the dark." She paused. "Y'know, they make movies like this."

Molly laughed. "I feel sorry for any monster who comes after us," she said.

"Those aren't the only kind of movies," Dawn teased, feeling a little bolder in the near darkness, "Or so I've heard."

"Hmmm," Molly said quietly in the dark. "Maybe I should have stopped by Ray's room instead of coming down here."

"Molly!" Dawn squealed.

Molly giggled. "I surprised you and Sam left your room," she teased.

"I was out here already," Dawn admitted.

Molly did an exaggerated lean to look over at Sam. "I see he followed." The smirk was obvious in her voice.

"He did," Dawn said gleefully, "and then he scared me and I almost thwapped him with the scary clown book."
