5th Floor Common Room - Monday, late afternoon

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette was laying on the couch, on her belly, ankles crossed; a pillow shoved up under her arms. She was flipping through the television channels, not really paying attention to what was on. A minute here a minute there, nothing really snapping out at her. Her mind was too preoccupied thinking about who and what she met and talked to over the weekend. It was totally...mind consuming.

Frozen pizza was in the oven cooking. She knew she could do that. Just had to take the plastic off and stick it in the oven. She forgot to read how long it took to cook though. When she could smell it good, then she would know it was done. Hopefully. Annette wasn't too bright in the kitchen department.

"Hey 'oomie," Cally said, sitting down next to Annette on the couch.

"Hey, Cally. What's up?" Annette said, scooting back a bit so she wasn't hogging the couch.

"Old friend is back in town," Cally said. "So... good stuff, actually."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Who's that?" She asked, mildly curious.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Xander Harris," Cally said. "He graduated 'n May." She relaxed up against the couch.

Annette pushed her pillow up under her chest more, angling her elbow on the couch, her chin in her hand. "He back just for a visit?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shook her head. "Looks like he's here to stay, actually," she said. "Very, very 'ool."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"That's great, Cally," she said with a little grin. "You guys close?"

Nadia wandered into the common room after dropping off her package for Walter. "Hey. What's cooking?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"The flesh of 'irgins," Cally said, deadpan.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Nadia," Annette said from her comfy spot on the couch. "Pizza."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally nodded. "Kinda. 'e was my Homecoming date, last year."

Nadia tried not to wince visibly. It hadn't been like she was avoiding Cally . . . not really. That would imply she'd put some conscious effort or decision making into not seeing the other girl for awhile.

It was just that, well, seeing Cally made her feel guilty.

Not that she'd let her know that.

"Okay, please tell me that's a joke and you didn't get stuck as some kind of flesh eating demon after this weekend."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Cool. Hopefully I can meet him sometime or another." Annette replied. "What's he going to be doing while he's here?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Exciting. Glad things are back to normal?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she said without much enthusiasm. "And ohhh yeah."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I think he's workin' at the apartment building," Cally said. "He was behind the desk there, today."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"If I got stuck as a flesh eating demon after the weekend, do you think I'd let myself look 'ike this, still?" Cally asked.

[nadiathesaint]

"You okay? You look a little tired."

[nadiathesaint]

"Maybe it's to lull us into a false sense of security?" Nadia said flippantly, hiding another wave of guilt.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She nodded, "I'll make a point of going over there sometime, introduce myself." Yeah, she was good at that sort of thing. She liked to call it being curious instead of nosey.

She smiled a bit, "I'm wore out, Nadia. I did so much this weekend I don't think I will ever be bored again in my life. Just from the memories."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"...no one would choose to be like this," Cally said. "False sense of anything."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"He's kinda... older, now," Cally made sure to mention.

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah? What'd you get up to?"
