Wednesday Morning, 4th Floor Common Room

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn was really confused.

This was nothing new.

However, this time, she was really really confused.

It was this whole flurry about some holiday that was tomorrow and she didn't understand it. She had never heard of this Turkey Day thing that everyone was talking about.

People seemed to be making plans to go home for this thing ... and she had no idea what was going on.

So, this would be why she was perched on the back of the couch in the common room, trying to work that Bard In A Box thing that Ms. Lorelai had called a TV.

Perhaps someone in the box could explain this to her.

Zuko entered the common room, holding a DVD in his hand. To be honest, he was actually looking for a common room where people where in today. Not that he'd be that honest. "Hello."

Gwynn turned her head and then smiled. "Hello, Zuko. How are you?"

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Fine," he replied automatically, his eyes moving towards the television. "You are watching something?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

She shook her head and then frowned at the contraption in her hand. "I still can make this cursed thing work," she admitted. "I was hoping it would help me understand what is going on tomorrow."

Zuko had no clue how the thing worked either, so he doubted she'd be able to help him out with his DVD. "Something about celebrating people having dinner," he said.

"Morning, Gwynn," Peter said with a smile as he looked for things to do before going to class. "How do you do?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Does that make any sense to you?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Morning Peter," she said with a nod. "I'm well. How are you?"

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Nothing here makes sense," Zuko replied. "Bridge was trying to convince me that space exists out of nothing and that you can blow up planets."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"But that isn't even possible!"

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"I agree," Zuko said, satisfied that he wasn't the only one to think this.

"Glad it's the last day of classes this week," Peter replied, falling into a seat on the couch. "I can't argue with that at all."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn sighed. "The ideas people come up with here... how do they survive in their state?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Why are people celebrating people having dinner?" She burst out.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Maybe they don't and that's why they're here," Zuko suggested.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned. "Because they're Americans and therefore odd? Honestly, I've no idea, but I suppose it's a harvest festival."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn thought about that seriously for a moment. "Because they cannot take care of themselves at their homes, they are sent here where intelligent and sane people can protect them and keep an eye on them."

Hey, it made perfect sense to her.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

It didn't really to Zuko and he frowned. "The teachers here aren't sane."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn nodded. "This place can get so confusing sometimes. No classes and people are going home because they are odd Americans celebrating other people having dinner..." She shook her head. "Phillip would be amused."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Okay, she had to give him that.

"Who here can we call sane?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Though really, all holidays are silly once one really looks at them," Peter pointed out. "We can just celebrate our friends and loved ones and be thankful they are safe. Have you heard from Phillip recently?"

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Peter and Marie," Zuko decided, finally stepping further into the room.

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn smiled and nodded. "Yes, those two are definitely sane and intelligent. Oh, and so is Kaylee."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"I agree. Why do they set aside specific days to be happy with what you ahve or have survived?" She smiled wryly. "He wants to come visit."

"I haven't met her," Zuko replied, fidgetting with his Space Battles DVD.
