Sunday Evening - Fifth Floor Common Room

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

After handwavy shopping for supplies and food, Peter and Isabel decorated the Common Room and hung a banner across the back saying  "Congratulations on Surviving Our First Week of Classes!"  

A big cake of whatever flavour you want to mod saying much the same thing, soda, chips, and lots of other food were laid out on the table along with poppers, kazoos, noisemakers, and other party favours and games.

In short, the Common Room was set up for a big Student Council sponsored party for all students old and new.

{OOC: Isabel modded with permission.  Have fun modding the party favours and games and food available!]

"Would you like some cake?" she asked. "Or better yet! A kiss!" Isabel held up one of the foil kisses from the earlier battle with Peter. "It's chocolate and it's heavenly."

Irulan was taken aback. "You wish to kiss me?" Then tilted her head, frowning at the tiny foil, "And how does that resemble a means of kissing?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel hoped Irulan wasn't offended when she laughed. "No. This," she said quickly, holding up the candy. "Is called a Hersey's kiss. If I remember correctly it has to do with how the machine that makes it, sort of kisses the tray it makes it on. It's a sweet."

"A confectionary!" Irulan said in delight, "I would love one!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Obviously you recognize the important things in life," Isabel smiled, holding out a handfu.. "Chocolate is definitely at the top of the list."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan took the kisses.

"We have waged many a war for the sake of these delights." Irulan said. She's joking, mostly.

"It wouldn't surprise me. And comparatively speaking, these aren't even the best chocolate," Isabel explained, opening one of the few she had left and popping it in her mouth. "I'll have to see about getting some Belgian truffles in one day."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan tasted one of the kisses and smiled at the taste. "I would love to taste these truffles you mention one day."

"Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away. We'll be buried in chocolate. I'll be sure to share," Isabel promised. "How did your first week of classes go?"

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"My classes went well. Lord Vader asked a most thought provoking question and Professor Lyman vowed he would channge my view on democracy." Then tilted her head, "What is valentine's day?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel made a face at the mention of Vader. "Professor Lyman is probably my favorite teacher here," she said. "I've taken two classes with him. Plus he's the Student Council advisor." It took a moment to think of exactly how to describe Valentine's day. "It's a holiday to celebrate romance. It's fun if you're dating someone. If you're not? You'll get disgusted."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan thought of Jack and tried not to sigh. "I think I shall not be enjoying this Valentine's day much."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nonsense. You'll have fun. There'll most likely be a dance and everyone's invited. It'll be fun to get dressed up for a night out." Isabel paused, "Have you met anyone you're interested in?"

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Once again Irulan thought of Jack and forced herself not to sigh. "I have met a lot of friends," and somehow she couldn't help blurting out, "Jack Harkness has been kind to me."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel nodded and smiled. "Ah yes, the Jack Harkness charm. It's lethal isn't it?"

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

She *wasn't* blushing. "He is very charming."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He's one of my very best friends," she said with a laugh. "You'd think that would make me immune or something. Sadly though, no. But I'm sure he'll be at the dance and would love to dance with you."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan looked visibly pleased with this but tried to look nonchalant. "I look forward to it."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel made a mental note to tell Jack to make sure to dance with Irulan. "I'm hoping it'll be another dressy dance. I still haven't gotten a chance to wear the gown I bought for Homecoming. Instead I wore some nightmare concoction of tulle. It was hideous."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I just have the perfect dress for that and hat!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"See? You're all set then. It'll be fun," Isabel grinned. "Just beware any shrubbery in the corners of the room. I wouldn't put it past the pirate to sneak back in to get gossip for the radio."

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

Irulan once again noted how strange this school was. "I shall take this warning to heart."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Anything else I can warn you about?" she asked. "Or has everyone else covered the wackiness well enough?"

[irulan-atreides.livejournal.com]

"I do not know, but I have been warned against gremlins, trolls and invasions." Irulan tried to think of anything else. "Is there any more?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's the big stuff. But oddly enough it's the little things that can really get you," Isabel laughed. "Right before the holidays our books pens were attacking us as we tried to study. Last Spring, the washing machines decided to magically steal people's clothing. It wouldn't have been so bad. Except it happened while they were wearing it."
