Fifth Floor Common Room - Wed. Morn.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

This morning, after waking up screaming at the top of her lungs, "GET OFF MY FOOT! GET OFF MY FOOT!" Annette quickly realized that she was not in Kansas anymore. Literally. 

Jumping from her bed, she snatched her robe, shoved her feet into her slippers, and raced through the door before Cally could say anything to her about her totally loosing her mind. Or freaking out. Was there a difference? Gahhh! Annette walked quickly down the hallway to the common room as she wrapped her robe around her and tied the sash tight. No one was about yet, which was a good thing. She could just sit for a minute, collect her thoughts, possibly put in a call to Aunt Catherine. Yes, that's it! Aunt Catherine.

Luckily for Annette, her cell phone was in the pocket of her robe. Imagine that.

Twenty minutes later her head was in her hand, her eyes closed, "No, Aunt Catherine, I swear to you, it is not Halloween come early. Yes, I promise. I will. I will. Catboy? No, really, he's fine, harmless. Just my fake big brother. Cally is still great. I have a great roommate, don't worry." Pause. Pause. Nod. 

"I'll call, I promise, first time I see one of those...things. Love you too. Bye." The phone snapped closed and Annette leaned her head back against the chair, listening to her stomach growl.

(ooc: open!! but sp is total love today. seeing holiday family off to the airport!)

Kabuto was used to being up early. He just wasn't used to being up early when there was nothing to do. Picking up one of his research books, he headed into the common room. There was already a girl there, but he didn't pay her too much attention, since she seemed engrossed in her conversation. So he picked himself a chair and settled into it to read, book on his knees.

She heard footfalls and opened one eye, then two. Annette instantly sat up straight and made sure her robe was tied and all that good stuff.

Co-ed? The dorms were co-ed? Was that in the brochure? Did her parents skip that part?

"Uh," Okay, he was reading, she shouldn't interrupt.

"Uh, hello." Brow raised. "I don't mean to interrupt you, but do you happen to be on the wrong floor or anything? You know, just wondering and stuff, because I wasn't aware the floors were co-ed?" She blinked and hoped that didn't sound rude.

Kabuto didn't respond immediately, finishing the paragraph he was on and muttering something under his breath before looking up at Annette. "I live on this floor, in room 505, with a Mr. Pip Bernadette. Though I've heard some of the rooms are co-ed, as well." He smiled, pushing his glasses up. "Not just the floor."

Cally, still in her black pajamas, burst into the door with a panicked look in her eyes.

"What's wrong with your foot!?" she asked.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette cut startled eyes at Cally, and came to her feet.

Then she blinked and tilted her head, "My foot?" Pause. "OH! My foot! I was dreaming. A nasty looking troll had a hold of one of my feet while his buddy got ready to clobber it to death."

She smiled, sort of. "I'm sorry. Did I wake you?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"You were kinda loud," Cally said, rubbing her eyes. "Totally okay, though. I was only gonna sleep in too late if ya hadn't." She smiled. "You okay now?"

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

That wasn't something you see - or hear - every day. At least not in Otogakure. Kabuto raised an eyebrow. "...And why are you concerned about her feet?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Cause she ran out of our room after saying something about her foot?" Cally said.

River decided she needed distraction from the bad dreams she'd been having lately, and what better way than to make popcorns. She entered the common room and headed for the kitchen area, where she prepared a large pan of popcorns and waited for them to start popping. As usual she decided using a lid was less fun, and as the popcorn started flying around the kitchen she attempted to catch them in her mouth.

Annette watched the other girl walk in and head straight for the kitchen area.

She sat up a bit more, hopeful. She forgot to eat last night and her stomach was having a field day. The smell of popcorn made her mouth water and since the popcorn started flying around the kitchen area, did that mean it was good for everyone else too?

Slowly she stood up and wandered over, "Hey. That's a lot of popcorn. You can catch pretty good. Um, I'm Annette. You wouldn't happen to want to share, would you?"

Pippi came out to the common room to investigate the yelling about feet.

"Good morning people!"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette waved, her mouth full of chocolate ice cream. After she swallowed, she said, "Good morning!"

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

"Good morning." This girl seemed to have a lot of energy. Kabuto watched her, keeping his place marked in his book.

The chances of running into Cally on this floor, significantly higher, which is possibly why Mac is up here.

Plus, oh look, new people. She waved in a general greeting, and went to find herself coffee before anything else. As she would.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette noticed the other girl enter and go for the coffee, and did a little handwave back. "I'm Annette. I'm new. Room 508 with Cally."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally, still in her pajamas, waved at Mac.

"Hey you," she said.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved back.

Bel had heard the new students were about, but he'd been too busy to pay much attention. So this morning he wandered out to the common room to meet the new victims residents.

Annette eyed the guy that just came in and made sure the sash of her robe was very tight. This was so not normal. Guys, girls, sleeping, er, co-eding. Her dad and mom would really have a fit if they knew. Maybe. Annette wasn't going to think about the past.

"Hey." She said, smiling slightly.

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

Curious as ever, Kabuto watched Bel and Annette. He was especially interested in that word, demon. THAT could be useful at some point. But he was far, far too polite to butt in on someone else's conversation. Just not too polite to eavesdrop shamelessly while pretending to read.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hi Bel!"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Oh look, another new person," Pip said from the doorway. "Greetings, new person."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Her eyes narrowed. Very tall man. Human? Uhhhhh...

"Hello, tall person."

[sound-loyalty.livejournal.com]

Kabuto waved at Pip from his chair. "Good morning, roommate."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"New Person makes excellent Pancakes." Pippi grinned.
