Fourth Floor Common Room, evening

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel feels a bit silly because she can't remember what floor the coffee bar is supposed to be on. Because it's close to the remaining gifts she still needs to give out to anyone that won't be around for Christmas Day, she goes with the Fourth Floor.

There's an assortment of baked goods and lots of caffiene for anyone still studying. How the Grump Stole the Holidays is playing on the TV and there are more Christmas classics to follow.

[open of course. I'm just AFK for about 30 minutes or so Back!]

"Dude, I love this one!" Jude declared, hobbling into the common room and snagging a cookie before collapsing on a couch, leaning his crutches against the arm as he sang along for a few lines. "You're a foul one, Mr. Grump, your heart's an empty hole . . ."

Isabel laughed, "It's one of my favorites as well."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

He chuckled. "Oh man, Christmas specials. Totally the best part of the holiday."

"Well there's a collection," she said, indicating the pile of DVDs. "So I hope you've got a lot of time handy."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Got nothin' but time," Jude said, leaning over to flip through the titles. "I'm homeless for the holidays."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Homeless?" Isabel asked.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude pointed in the general direction of south. "Yeah, my mom has a buncha vacation 'cause she was really sick a while ago, so my parents are doing this romantic cruise thing."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well good for them vacation," she said, nibbling on a cookie. "But that stinks that they left you on your own if you wanted to go home."

Tired of studying and wrapping gifts, Dean wandered out to the common room for a break. "Hey," he said as he entered, and glanced at the tv. "That's always been one of the signs of Christmas for me."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude shrugged. "I could go home and crash at one of my friends', but I don't want to bother them, 'specially 'cause I'm gonna be all broken still." He gestured at his leg.

Isabel facepalmed. "Jude, you do realize you can stay here right?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I know," Isabel agreed. "I used to wait for it every year. DVD is so much nicer."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude blinked. "Uh, yeah. That's what I'm doin'."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Dean agreed. "No crappy commericals. So you all ready for Christmas?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Just checking," she said. "I know some places do close for the holidays. I'll be staying."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Really? Awesome. I heard somethin' about a pool party."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much hell no!," she smiled. "Everything is wrapped and waiting for Christmas morning."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Me too," Dean said. "Well... mostly. Had to give Sammy his main gift early because I don't think Scout would've been happy staying in a cheerily wrapped box for a couple of weeks."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That I haven't heard," Isabel said, raising an eyebrow. "But it could be fun."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Scout?" Isabel asked. "Hopefully it's something cute and cuddly?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Sam's puppy." Dean's grin if anything got bigger.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Awwww!!!" she grinned. "Puppies are cute! What kind?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude nodded. "Yeah. Well, not so much for me, but I'm thinking of going down just to hang out."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Couldn't you get one of those cast covers?" she asked. "My dad had one when he broke his ankle once."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Maybe . . . I'll go and check it out at the clinic," Jude said, ducking his head in a nod.
