Second Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

[swerval_zero]

After realizing she hadn't taken her turn at feeding the voracious hordes recently, Zero made a trip down to Ching Tai and returned with prodigious amounts of Chinese takeout, which she set up in the common room. Then she helped herself to some ginger chicken and lounged around watching "Mighty Capin' Justice Magicians" on the TV. Her good deed for the day was done.

((Open to all, as common rooms usually are. :D))

Turtle and her insane mun who can't seem to stop pinging into threads drifted into the common room, sniffing the air. "It smells like home in here," she observed.

Zero gestured to the table of Chinese food. "Are you from China, then?" she asked Turtle.

Turtle shook her head. "Unfortnately, no," she said, scanning the offerings, but not going for any. She wasn't quite over her mother pushing Mr. Hoo's food on them all the time once she got that job. "Wisconsin. But there was a Chinese restaurant on the top floor of my apartment building, so the place smelled like Chinese food on certain days."

Chris went down to the second floor to look for his brother, but got distracted by the smell of Chinese food. He poked his head in to see if he recognized anyone.

"Oh, swerval," Zero said. "My brother an' sisters' boyfriends' family is from Hong Kong, so, y'know, this is kinda like home to me, too. But my da cooks all sorts of stuff, really."

[swerval_zero]

Zero saw him and said, "Hey, you want food?" Well, it was to the point.

Turtle's head bobbed slightly as she tried to follow that brothers, sisters, boyfriends thing. "Yeah. Mr. Hoo's restaurant didn't do very well, and my mother was always bringing home stuff when she was working there so it kind of killed my appitite for Chinese."

Turtle gave a little wave to the guy she didn't know.

Tori had decided to pay a visit to the second floor perchance someone might be around. She entered the common room, both seeing and smelling the chinese food.

"Wow, that smells great."

"Sure," Chris grinned, walking all the way into the room and noticing Zero's hair. "Nice hair," he said. "I'm Chris, by the way. Do you feed all the random people who walk through here?"

Chris waved back. "Hey," he greeted.

[swerval_zero]

"Oh, that squalls," Zero said. "Sorry; I didn' think to provide another option."

[swerval_zero]

"Zero," she said by way of introducing herself. "An' thanks. Today I do!"

[swerval_zero]

"It smells like dinner," Zero said with a grin. "Help yourself!"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hi," she greeted back. "I'm Turtle."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle shrugged. "I've gotten into cereal for diner anyway," she grinned a bit and went to go find her Frosted Flakes. "Squalls is a weird word; I've never heard it used like that before."

In fact, she wasn't sure if she'd ever heard it at all.

[swerval_zero]

"I, uh, I sorta make up words. A lot," Zero explained. "I've been tryin' to tone it down because no one here understood me at first."

Another little wave for another person she didn't know as Turtle munched on cereal instead of Chinese.

Tori grinned. "Okay, thanks!"

She helped herself to some beef and broccoli, grateful for the dish; it was her favorite.

"I think that's really cool," Turtle said, with a slight gush and a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Zero," Chris said, helping himself to some food. "That's very nice of you. I didn't even realize there was a Chinese restaurant on the island."

Noticing the girl, Tori smiled and waved back. "Hey, I'm Tori."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Turtle. I'm Chris," he said.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Tori," Chris said with a dorky wave and a shy smile.

Dick smelled Chinese food from down the hall and practically bolted out of his room in order to find it.

"Chinese food! I love you! Even though I don't know who you are." says Dick "Please tell me I can eat some of this."
