Third Floor Common Room - Thursday Morning

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara had woken up early and slipped out of her dorm room quietly. She considered going outside for a moment, but she decided to explore the floor she'd ended up on.

Finding herself in a big open room with several couches and tables and quite a few big boxes she had no idea about, she up a small floppy book made out of shiny paper and began to flip through it, looking at the pictures.


[OOC: Open as a Common Room is. Though I might be under periods of SP as it's my first day back at work after a week.]

And...now Dawn gets to see a speechless Marco.

"What?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Book, movie, or real life experience? Feel free to lie here."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn grinned. "Real life, but not mine."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco's eyes were about to pop out. "How did you get dragged into it?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"My sister, and my babysitter. Er, ish." She shrugged.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"You know what? There's a small, small chance your life might be odder than mine."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn grinned and rose to the challenge. "Weirdest person you ever dated?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco tried for a grin. "Well, my life doesn't really leave much time for the dating game, but there was this alternative world where I was dating Rachel..."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"No dating?" Dawn tried not to look overly horrified and immediately started trying to figure out who she could fix him up with. "Who's Rachel?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"She's...my best friend's psycho cousin. So kind of a friend, kind of a person who freaks me out because she's mental. And kind of really hot."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Is that what you look for in a someone?" Dawn asked, totally taking mental notes by this point. "Girl, mental, really hot?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Girl, hot, I'll more than happily skip the mental part." Marco paused. "Is Parker seeing anyone? Cause we talked last night and I think she likes me."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Parker? Like, Parker Parker?" Dawn had met the other girl a grand total of once, she thought. "Um, I have no idea, sorry."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"There's other Parker's? So who's she friends with?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"There's a Peter Parker," Dawn said helpfully, "and I really don't know. I think Isabel Evans, but she and I aren't really friends." She added, "Not in a bad way, just that she's older and we don't seem to have the same interests."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Hm. So any other warnings for a new student?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um, which warnings did you already get?" Dawn asked, "I wouldn't want to be repetitive."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Not that many, actually."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Okay," Dawn took a deep breath, "Don't invite the vampires in, don't ask anyone a question you don't really want to know the answer to, don't snort when people tell you their life stories, don't be surprised when people tell you about invasions even if those invasions involve dessert, and don't eat food that you randomly see lying around."

"How long have you gone to school here that you have such a nice, developed list?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Since May?" Dawn said, then added, "I, er, tend to get into trouble."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Trouble usually finds me."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Dawn felt like she'd met a kindred spirit. "Like what?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Well...there was the dinosaurs. And the time travel. And that thing with the horse and Washington. And the north pole and the thing with the polar bear. And...oh yeah, Naomi Campbell."
