Second Floor Common Room; Early Wednesday Evening.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle felt as though her day had been very successful. She'd scoped out the town, gotten herself a job (starting tomorrow! How exciting!), and had picked up a total of two dollars and seventy two cents in change as she walked around the island. A very good day, indeed, especially since, she could tell from her handwavily grabbed copy of the Wall Street Journal that SEA hadn't continued to drop, and the one she was scoping had raised, but not enough that it wouldn't be enough for her SEA to fail to cover it in a few days. Looking pretty good!

Grabbing a bowl of cereal for her dinner, Turtle plopped out the couch, tucked her Journal beside her, and turned on the television. Now that she didn't have her mother restricting her TV time, she definately wanted to see what kind of channels they got here at the school.

Shawn hobbled in to the common room, with pop-tarts because they really are the one thing he can cook. Once he'd shoved them in the toater he flopped onto the nearest sofa and grinned at the new person.

Then deciding he should add a greeting to that so as not to come off as creepy. "Hey."

Turtle smiled back and lifted her bowl in appriciation for quick-breakfast-dinners, which she could see this guy shared. "Hey. I'm Turtle. I'm new."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"I'm Shawn," he said in return. "Thought I hadn't seen you around before. I'm not so new."

Tannim used his advanced culinary skills to make himself a peanut butter and jam sandwich for dinner. He found a Gatorade in the fridge and sat down on the couch. "What are we watching?" he asked Turtle.

Turtle slurped a bit of milk from her spoon as she got idly distracted by a flashy commercial for a brief second before she asked, "You live on this floor, too?" She hoped so. If yesterday was any indication, this floor was, like, cute boy central. And she was there in the middle of it.

"Nuffin' yet," Turtle said, before completely swallowing her bite of cereal. She then did so and wiped a little bit of milk off her lower lip with the back of her hand. "I was jus' kind of flipping. Not finding much. You want the remote, give it a try, Tannim?"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Tannim said. He took the remote and pulled up the Guide screen. "Wow, we get a lot of channels here. Only had basic cable at home." He found a rerun of the new Mister What on BBC America. "Oh, I love this show," he said.

Turtle craned her long neck, looking much like her namesake, as Tannim made his selection. There were a lot of channels! And no TV restrictions. If she hadn't put too much milk in her cereal, she'd have bounced a little. She raised the bowl to her mouth to drink some down so maybe if she needed to, she could bounce later. "What is it?" Turtle asked, eyeing the screen, being unfamiliar with it.

Marco came into the common room, mostly hoping for food.

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm down in 229," Shawn told her stretching out across the couch. "You got a good floor," he said. "Less stairs."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle smirked a little. "That's exactly what I was thinkin' when I moved in. What's up with no elevators?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle greeted the newest entry to the common room with a mouth half full of food. "Hi, Person!"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"He can go anywhere in time and space," Tannim said. "I think this is the episode where they go back in time and stop aliens from kidnapping Queen Elizabeth."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn chuckled. "We had elevators in this school, the gremlins would probably live in them, or something. That would suck."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Why would they wanna kidnap Queen Elizabeth?" Turtle asked, around another mouthful.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle sighed a bit as she looked at Shawn. More of this stuff already? "Real gremlins? I mean, after the aliens and trolls and the future stuff, I wouldn't be surprised, mind you."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Hi other person! Where'd you find the food?"

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"They're real. They bite. If you see one back away," Shawn advised. "Same goes for the trolls. You don't want to go up against them," he said gesturing at his cast briefly.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"I got a box of Frosted Flakes in the cupboard," Turtle said, nodding toward it. "You can have a bowl, if you like, but it'll cost ya."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle looked very wide-eyed. "Guess that explains the mascot." She shifted her gaze toward the cast. "Trolls did that?"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"I can't tell you that," Tannim said. "You have to watch and see."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"My charming company isn't payment enough?" Marco grinned. "Marco, by the way."

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

"Yup," Shawn said with a nod. "Stupid sucker smacked it with a cudgel. Next time I get the urge to be heroic, I'm remembering to take a gun so I don't have to get that close."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"So long as we haven't missed enough of it that it won't make sense."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Turtle," she responded; she gave him a doubtful look back, but it was playful. "And I don't think your charming company is gonna help when I wanna buy a soda or something later. One dollar, one bowl. But you can put as much milk in it as you want."
