Third Floor Common Room, before 1st period

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

The first day of school demanded breakfast. How kind of Arthur to sign him up for a Monday morning first period class. Nevermind that Walter had rather wanted to take the DAMM class because the teacher looked like an absolute and utter loon.

That aside, he was cooking breakfast. Lots of breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast, fruit, juice, coffee for the heathens, and of course, tea. He already had two large dishes of both eggs and bacon keeping warm in the oven and was trying to keep from stumbling over Pup, who was dancing underfoot.

Pup would no doubt be delighted to greet anyone coming in for breakfast. How those coming in would greet a six-eyed black puppy with a voice like a small pack of hounds was anyone's guess.

[ETA: Dragging my lazy ass off to work. Will respond to pings after I'm there and SP through the day. Wah. I'm home from work again. I am sick of being sick. Dance!]

Tori was up early, especially considering her one class for the day didn't start until eleven. It was the excitement of starting classes that had her up now.

Walking into the common room, Tori took note of the breakfast being made and grinned. That was quite a gesture, to be up so early and cooking for people.

Pup finally stopped trying to help Walter break his leg and trotted over to sniff the new person. His tail wagged a blur and he hoped she'd bend down so he'd have a chance to thoroughly plumb her sinuses give her a kiss.

Walter waved a butter covered knife at Tori and went back to slathering a piece of toast with it. "Good morning. That's Pup and there's breakfast if you'd like it."

"Morning Walter." Tori grinned. "Thanks so much."

Bending down, Tori smiled at Pup and pet him. "Hey there Pup." He was cute, even with six eyes, but that didn't bother Tori one bit.

"Tori!" Katara said with a wave. "Are you in the Malicious Magic class too? Hopefully? Maybe?"

Not that she wanted to know someone else in the class at all. Really.

"Hey Katara." Tori waved back. "No, I have Conflict Management at eleven." She frowned ever so slightly.

Katara had gotten up early to make sure she would actually find her way to her first class, but the smell of food lured her down to the Common Room. She paused at the doorway, looking at Pup. For once. An animal that looked normal.

Having properly greeted Tori, Pup was delighted to trot over to yet another new person yay unexplored nasal territory! and dance at her feet until she said hello.

Walter, having settled in with his own heavily laden plate of breakfast, nodded to the new girl and waited to finish his bite of toast before saying, "Good morning, there's breakfast if you'd like some. I'm Walter."

She beamed at Pup and knelt down instantly to give him as many pets as he'd like. After paying attention to the dog, she realised that she ought to respond to the boy that spoke to her. "Morning," she said. "I'm Katara. Is this your animal? He's lovely."

Nadia was wandering her way downstairs and smelled breakfast. It didn't take a genius to figure out who might be cooking in the third floor common room.

"Hey," She crouched down to offer a hand out to Pup. "And hello to you, too."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Pup knew this girl and knew that she was on to him about his favorite way to greet people.

But it was worth a try.

Walter smiled and immediately pulled a cup out of the cabinet to pour Nadia some coffee. "Hey yourself. What has you up so early when you don't have a first period class?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia allowed Pup one or two explorations of her nostrils with his tongue before standing up again. "Would you believe 'the excitement of starting a new semester'?"

Shawn also has first period class, and he's not the biggest morning person ever. This is possibly why he stumbled up a floor in search of someone already preparing food rather than risk trying to make anything himself.

"Morning," he mumbled. Right before flopping bonelessly onto the nearest couch.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Good morning," Walter greeted. "Tea? Coffee?"

Pup had different ideas of a proper greeting and was already scrambling his way up onto the couch to try to say hello to the boy he hadn't met before.

Suddenly, Shawn is far more awake. Being overenthusiastically greeted by a six eyed dog will do that to you. "Wow, hi," he said sitting up a bit straighter.

He turned to Walter, "Uh, tea would be awesome." He then went to pet Pup experimentally, he seemed friendly enough despite the extra eyes after all. "Yours?" he asked.

[nadiathesaint]

"Morning," Nadia called back, as she kept an eye on Pup to make sure the hellpuppy wouldn't try to snatch her bacon.

Shawn waved with the hand not clutching his mug of tea. "The fight against the rising tide of pink going well this morning?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Puppy!!!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Pippi!"

Pup yapped something that might have been Hellhound for "Girl with hair that looks fun to bite." Or he might have just been excited.

Cally was totally on the wrong floor.

She stumbled into the common room.

"Need... coffee..."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"I think there's some over there," Katara said, pointing the girl to where Walter had originally indicated.

[justmisplaced.livejournal.com]

Shawn watched Cally stumble in and chuckled.

There actually appeared to be someone even less awake than he was.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"There's coffee already ready. And breakfast. Good morning."

Nevermind that she was totally on the wrong floor. Food and coffee were magnetic that way.

Nova would hangout in the common room this morning. It was nice to see a few people he recognized for once. Watching how others gathered around a place with food was always interesting.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Hey Nova," Cally said with a little wave.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter nodded to the new person. "Good morning. There's breakfast if you'd like some. I'm Walter. That," he pointed to the hellpuppy that was racing over to investigate, "is Pup. He won't bite."
