Second Floor Common Room - Thursday Morning (Before Classes)

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

The giant pillow/blanket/chair fort of awesome was still up from last night. Thankfully, someone had turned the TV off so Rescued by the Alarm wasn't on anymore. Kawalsky had fallen asleep during that really bad murder mystery weekend episode where Zeke was in on it the whole time.

Worst episode ever.

He emerged from the fort and eyed the common room kitchenette. This situation called for pancakes. He got to it, being a pancake ninja and all.

"Pancakes! Get your pancakes."

[OOC: Free pancakes! Feel free to come in or say that you stayed there the whole night in the fort. I'll be here until I fall asleep.]

It's easy to pull John out of bed when pancakes are cooking. He stumbled in, rubbing his eyes but focused on food.

"My hero," he said, fluttering his eyelashes at Charlie.

"Damned right I am," he replied, pouring the newly made batter into the now sizzling pan. "How you been, man?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Getting itchy to get out of here," he said and meant more than just the common room. "Almost done, man."

"Yeah, summer's coming up pretty quick. Couple of months to go. I'm think I'm gonna miss this place." He shrugged. "No one to make pancakes for."

"You're always welcome to make me pancakes," John joked.

"Aw shucks, I didn't know you felt that way," Kawalsky replied, playing along.

"My heart and all that gooey stuff that surrounds it belongs to you," John said, putting two hands over said heart. "Just don't tell the girlfriend. Either of them."

Charlie flipped a pancake. He thought about both of their girlfriends. "Oh, there's not a chance in hell. But seriously, what've you got planned after graduation? College? Heading home?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"College," he said with a nod. "MIT. So, Massachusetts."

Nova walked into the second floor common room before class that morning. He just wandered in then stared at the fort that he didn't recall being there any other time he visited.

The fort was indeed there, in all its awesome glory. Kawalsky glanced over his shoulder from where was making pancakes. "Hey. Pancakes?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Heeeey, pretty impressive digs. Don't forget us little people when you're out there being all brainy."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John gave a friendly wave. "Howdy!"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," John said, grinning. "I'm excited. Aeryn's coming with me so that's two people you can visit in one go. And you will be coming to visit."

"You bet I will be. Someone's gotta check up on you. The whole family going? The sea monkeys too?"

A long yawning sound comes from the fort and a disheveled looking girl crawls out of it.

"Coffee."

It's not a question. More like a statement hinging on a demand.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Charlie pointed to the untouched coffee machine with his spatula. "I'm on pancake duty."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Every single thing and person is coming," he said, nodding. "Bertram, Toasty, Santa Claus, Bruno, the sea monkeys. Damn, I have a lot of things."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Coffee." Yeah, well, he was chipper.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel doesn't pout. Except she totally does but heads over to the coffee machine and stares at it for a second.

"Coffee."

This time she appears to be making a command to the machine as if it to suddenly make it itself.

His attention was divided between the fort and the offer of pancakes. Nova shakes his head and answers,"..no..thank you..," in a distracted way.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Mel," she said poking at various buttons on the coffee maker. "Why won't this thing give me coffee?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"John." He tried to look at the coffee maker. "Is it plugged in?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"S'what happens when you settle somewhere a while," he shrugged. "Man, graduation." The thought had escaped his mind for the last few days because he'd been trying not to think about it, but now he couldn't help it. "Stickbugs are gonna need new recruits with you, me and Cam gone."

"You sure? They're preeetty good pancakes. Best in all of Fandom. Well, all of the common rooms. If the bakery has pancakes, I can't beat them."
