Second Floor Common Room, Monday evening

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

Jim wandered out to the common room with a bowl of candy - which included a few Canary Creams from the joke shop mixed in there - and turned on the second night of the season premiere of 60. There might be dead terrorists on the screen and there might be people turning into giant birds in the common room. No matter what, Jim figured he was going to be entertained tonight.

He couldn't help but wonder who was playing the one guy. "I know I've seen him in something. Oh! Wait! The stoner movie! The guy from the White Castle movie!" Jim was way too excited about figuring that out.

[OOC: Open as a common room tends to be. There are a handful of Canary Creams in the candy bowl. If you want to eat one, feel free. You'll be a giant canary for the span of a comment or so. And 60 is, of course, 24. Unless somebody directs me to a different meta for it.

Also, I'm American. I didn't know about any Australian politicians named John Howard. But meta-Bauer has a slight Australian accent Australia has a meta-Bauer accent because of it, okay?]

Tannim plopped down on the couch. "What are we watching?" he asked.

"Night two of the premiere of 60," Jim said. "I don't think I've met you yet. I'm Jim."

Tyler? Bored, and considering going for a long walk.

But the siren call of the TV lured him in. "Is something blowing up?" he asked from the doorway, craning his neck to get a better look.

"Not yet, but it's just a matter of time," Jim said, giddy about this fact. "You a fan, too?"

Peter just so happened to be walking by. He frowned. "Okay, where the hell do I know that guy from?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"I just figured that out. He's the Indian guy from the stoner movie at White Castle," Jim said.

"Hey Peter," Cassie said with a wave.

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Another new person. "He does look kind of familiar," Tyler agreed. "Maybe he has a double here."

"And the terrorist was on the Galaxy Quest spinoff," Parker said absently, not taking her eyes off the screen. "Hi. Parker. Senior. John Howard's future wife."

Aeryn had been going out for a run, stopping when she sees the TV. "What's this?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"It's called 60. It's about a guy who kills terrorists in real time for sixty minutes a week," Jim said. "Except this week, it's two hundred and forty minutes. And, hi, I'm Jim Halpert."

Once again drawn from her room, Irulan perused the common room curiously. The show on the viewscren used split screen effect, interesting.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Jim said, looking up from the TV briefly. "Have a seat. Watch John Howard kill some people."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker waved to Irulan, most of her attention on the television. "No, John, behind you, don't--"

Cassie poked her head in the common room.

"What're we watching?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Hours three and four of 60," Jim said. "Come in, have a seat, count how many times somebody says John Howard's full name."

Naomi decided that she was going to be social that evening, so that was why she was down in the second floor common room, "hey," she said as entered.

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Naomi," Jim said. "Are you hear for the socializing or the televised explosions? I suggest both."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

Cassie looked over at Naomi. "Whoa," she said. "Erm... sorry, didn't mean to burst out like that."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker wandered in, then immediately grabbed a seat. "Oooo. John Howard. Looking hot and desperate. How many people has he killed so far?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Enough the the Grim Reaper needs a nap," Jim said.

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

"None since I came in," Tyler said, sounding disappointed. "Hi, Parker."

Number 6 wasn't going to go in the Common Room until he saw Him. The plant. The tall, slightly overweight mastermind genius with the hair. He decided to play it cool.

"Hello," 6 said. "Lovely evening we're having, don't you think?"

[ooc: 6 is talking to Jim Halpert, but he's there to be annoyed by anybody]

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, definitely," Jim said. "You're in my Home Ec class, right?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker waved and gave him a half-smile. "Hey, 6. HOw have you been?" Then she blinked at the TV screen. "Okay, seriously, they want him to team up with a terrorist?"
