2nd Floor Common Room - Saturday Morning

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D'anna crawled out of bed (funny, she didn't remember going to bed at all last night) and found that aside from a killer head-ache, she was starving and her fridge was empty. Great. She slipped on some house shoes, puttered out to the common room in her pajamas and began to rummage through the cupboards.

Once she found all that she was looking for, she began to cook breakfast complete with bacon, eggs, mushrooms, peppers, shredded cheddar, basically all the fixin's for omelets with a lovely full pot of coffee, plates filled with buttery toast, and a nice big basket of fresh fruit for the taking.

Following his nose in search of breakfast, Seely wandered into the common room, "Morning."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D gave a little wave from where she was finishing up with some scrambled eggs. "Mornin, Seely."

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"You look remarkably well for someone exhausted from an orgy," Seely remarked, grinning. "Or did those squirrel mess up the notes again?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Orgy? Sounds like someone slipped the squirrels some of our gummi bears." D yawned and stretched.

"Coffee?" Jake said hopefully as he staggered in. He was not at his best in the mornings.

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmhmmm." D nodded and pointed to the full to brimming pot.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"You are a goddess among mortals!" Jake exclaimed and went to hug the coffee. No, he really wasn't awake yet.

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D snorted, she knew Jake better enough than to believe him. "Not been wake very long, huh?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake cooed over the coffee as he poured it into a mug. "Mornings are the devil's work."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"There's no such thing as a devil." D paused on her way to get a cup of java. "...I think."

[ooc: Crashy and have to run to bank. Back in 30-60. >:D< ]

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"I think the existence of mornings proves that there is," Jake disagreed and sipped his coffee with a blissful expression.

(ooc: Okidoki!)

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"..." D raised an eyebrow.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"You know, Lucifer Morningstar? The Light Bringer?" Jake said, when he'd poured himself another cup. He blinked. "Oh hi, D."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Can't say that I do, no." D rolled her eyes and flicked the back of Jake's head. "Morning again, Jake."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake rubbed the back of his head with a wounded look. "There was too much blood in my caffeine system. You don't know? Oh. Right. Alien girl. Hey, what kind of religion do your people have?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"You have eyes, Mailable-Form Boy." D said, but not too harshly because she'd mostly expected that anyway. "Ummm, you remember that," she made vague gestures with her hands, "enitity I was trying to get away from last year when you were interviewing Callisto?"


Ok, Mailable-Form Boy had way too many syllables this early in the morning.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake thought back. "When you were being all weird? Yes."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"I was being chased by one of her Gods. Only? Turns out, her Gods are my Gods." D explained. "But, like, an alternate universe duh of my Gods. And I don't believe in them, much, really."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake blinked. "...Buh?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Too many words, huh?" She patted him on the head.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy was strolling on down towards going outside, when the smell of cooking caught his nose. Where there was food, there was usually people, so he figured he'd stop in and say hello.

"Morning all."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"I don't believe in talking about alternate universes before dinner," he said firmly. He cuddled his coffee protectively.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake waved vaguely.

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D shook her head and took a seat. "It's not an actual alternate universe. At least, I don't think so. It's just, some people seem to understand the world she comes from better than the one I'm from so I was trying to make it easier."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D vaguely waved.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake followed her. "I don't think it helped." He squinted. "Sooo... Your gods are Greek too?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"I guess." D shrugged as she speared a fork full of food. "I kind of figured they were universal till I got here, ya know? I mean, they could be Greek - we could be Greek, or the Greeks could have been Colonists. I don't know."

She took another fork full. "Point is, they have all the same names."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Weird," was Jake's intelligent reply to that. "Hey, isn't there a guy called Ares teaching something or other this semester?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Not funny." D glared at him over her coffee cup.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Aside from Seely, Billy wasn't sure he'd actually met any of the people in here. "New student or result of my being anti-social?" he asked.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"You were in my mythology class right?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"No, really. I swear that's what the class list thingy said!"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake gave him an amused look. "I've been here for a year and a half now, so I'd say the latter. I don't think time flows that weirdly here."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D glared more.

Then she had a thought! "Plenty of people name their kids after Gods, right?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Dunno. It's possible. I didn't pay much attention in there."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Well..." Jake caught her look. "...Yes. Names of gods? Really popular. Lots of people are named Odin and Ares and Shiva. Yes."

He sipped his coffee.

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

She raised an eyebrow and glared into her coffee.

Because head.desking into her coffee was a little weirder than D was willing to be this morning.

She sighed. "Alright, so, just because his name is Ares, it doesn't mean it's the same Ares."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"That's true," Jake agreed. "Also, it doesn't have to be his real name. It could be a ... stage name, or something."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Exactly!" D clung to hope. "For a show about..."

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"Um. War?" Jake sounded slightly doubtful.

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

D wrinkled her nose.

There might have been a threat of a glare lurking somewhere in the background.

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

"...He could be a magician?" Jake went to pour himself more coffee before D could get upset and take it away. "They always have weird names like that."

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

"Who juggles spears and other bits of weaponry?" The coffee was safe.

The comfy throw on the couch was not as lucky however, as D lifted it up over her head and used it to hide her face, and well, her entire head. "Guh. I thought this term would finally be normal, ya know?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake lowered his coffee to stare at her. "...Seriously, what kind of planet are you from?"

[dbiers.livejournal.com]

Still beneath the cover D asked, "...why?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Definately the latter." Billy agreed. "I'm Billy."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Because Dr. Covington was crazy or did it just not interest you?"
