Monday Late Afternoon - Evening - Fifth Floor Common Room

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Following his and Isabel's plans made yesterday, Peter had stopped by J,GOB after Interstellar Relations to pick up a metric ton of coffee, doughnuts, bagels, and assorted other pastries. 

Getting them back to the Common Room was easy, but trying to corral all the books in the Common Room into a cabinet so they wouldn't knock over the coffee was much more difficult.

However he managed to do so and thus there was a table set up with coffee, tea, doughnuts, and pastries.  A sign said "Happy Studying and Good Luck on your Finals from Student Council."  There was an addendum added in pen "Watch out for books!"

Peter was drinking tea and studying his Hunting notes nearby.

After applying eyedrops, Billy flopped down on the couch with his notebook, which seemed to have resisted the hostility plauging regular books. "Figures they'd choose finals week to attack people." he said.

Peter looked up from muttering Latin exorcisms to himself and grinned. "Just adds that bit of spice Finals week needed."

Buffy came in with her notebook and a pile of gifts. She sat down in a chair, and began to study, while waiting for any of her victims recipients to arrive.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter nodded to her. "Have you had to slay any books yet, Buffy?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly plopped down on the floor near Buffy and tried to sooth her book so she could open it to study. "Hey, Buffy. How are finals going for you?"

Cally wandered into the common room, now nursing a minor black eye, grumbling.

She'd gone back in her room after the Interstellar final to get her notes for Humor and Medicine. And apparently the complete works of HP Lovecraft had taken offense, and flown right in her face.

So now, she had notes, a minor injury, and a lack of patience with flying books.

Peter smiled at Cally then stopped and looked at her. "Are you alright? You weren't hurt in class!"

Jaye wanders up for the food, but when she sees the sign, she says, "Studying?"

No, it hasn't occurred to her that she needs to do this.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally waved at Jaye, and pointed at her notebook. "Studying. As in the thing you do to make sure you don't fail out." She smiled, book-induced black eye and all.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"So they tell me," Peter replied with a sigh.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy flailed eagerly in Jaye's direction. "BFF! Come get your present!"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Nope." Billy said.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly came in dragging a very reluctant book tied up with string. "Oh, yay! Free food," she said and tugged the straining book along.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Evening, Molly!" Peter said with a grin. "Having literary difficulties?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec was lured by the scent of sugar and pastries, and then loaded up on several of each kind available before he found a seat. "Finals are this week?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Where have you been?" said Buffy, frowning at him.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"They have been all year," Peter replied with a grin.

[fates_jaye]

"That's what I said," says Jaye. Who's a TA and had two finals today.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Studying for the final?" Pip asked as he walked in, his arm handwavely in some sort of sling in some way.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter nodded. "Trying to rememorize the Latin, mainly. It should be easy, but it's not."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Avoiding my books," Cally said, a bag of frozen peas pressed over an eye.

Bridge wanders up to the fifth floor common room, sees Peter, wanders *out* of the common room, and then back in to it, this time carrying a package.

"Hey, dude!" he says with a bounce.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Bridge!" Peter replied with a grin. "How do you do?"

Kawalsky decided to join the commoners. He was still a prince if Jeannie had really been around (he was convinced she did exist now after finding gold coins in his desk drawer) and he wanted to test it out. No one had noticed in class, but there was still time.

He walked into the common room with his head held high. Very princely, he thought. "Hey," he greeted everyone. Not so princely.

"Evening, Charlie," Peter said with a smile. "How goes it?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

You can really only brood in your room for so long. That amount of time might vary depending on who exactly you are, but everyone has a threshold there (or at least, one might hope). Conner had reached his.

"Hey, everybody."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Evening, Conner," Peter said with a wave. "How are you doing?"

There's something about the smell of coffee that lets it seep through every nook and cranny in a building. Hamlet had smelled it, and had decided to grab his notes, stop fighting his textbooks for the TV remote, and head to wherever the coffee was. He smiled at seeing Peter there.

"I see that you're planning a very substantial all-nighter study session, there."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter chuckled. "No, it's for everyone." He glanced at the coffee and doughnuts. I don't think I could eat that much."
