3rd Floor Common Room - Saturday Morning

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

Even four...five..six weeks in Fandom hadn't shaken the early riser syndrome out of Neil. After a shower, he pulled on some casual -for him- clothes and grabbed up his Traditional Fairy tales books and headed out to the common room. He had been working in his room all day yesterday and just needed a change of scenary.

Dropping the books on the couch, Neil headed over to make a little breakfast first. His usual fare, bacon, oatmeal, toast and coffee. Fairly soon the common room was filled with the scent of frying bacon and oatmeal with maple syrup.

[ooc: No need to say that a common room is open, right?]

River woke early too, and wandered down the stairs, hoping to find an occupied common room. She smiled when she saw Neil, and the smell of food was making her hungry. She approached quietly. "Good morning."

Neil jumped a little, as he had in no way heard River approach but at the sound of her voice he turned and smiled.

"Good morning, River."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Up early too," she said, looking at the breakfast he was preparing. "That looks tasty."

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

"Old habits." Neil admitted, then he grinned. "There's plenty to share, would you like me to make you some?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

It had been quite obvious she'd really like that. River nodded. "Yes. Please."

She'd seen his books on the couch and continued: "Studying today?"

Billy was once more clearheaded enough to try to cover up whatever he might be thinking. It wasn't just for secret keeping, that stuff was traumatic enough for him, he'd seen how they could effect her.

Day by day,
Day by day,
Oh dear lord, three things I pray... That was why a song from Godspell Dietytrance was now playing in his head.

River gave him a quiet nod, appreciating the music more than the memories. She had enough of painful things in her own head right now.

Cassie was starting to wonder if people hung out in her common room, when she wandered up to the third floor today.

"...there aren't creepy shadows here, right?"

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

Neil looked over from where he was fiddling with the dial on the radio, getting some music playing and he grinned a little warily.

"Not that I'm aware of?"

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Well, not that I thought there would be. Just... yeah. Nevermind. I'm being crazy," Cassie said. "How're you doing, prep school?"

[iftheseshadows.livejournal.com]

It took Neil a half beat to realize Cassie was talking to him and then he gave her a playful smirk and chuckled.

"I'm good, Lang. Want some breakfast?"

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Got anything good?" Cassie asked.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Thanks I was hoping someone would creep me out this morning."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Well, glad I could help," Cassie said. "Eyepatches really are an in thing around here."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"And that has to do with shadows how?"

Nova had been cooped up in his room for a while, so he decided on a change of scenery. He headed to his floor's common room and sat on one of the couches.

He was hoping to work out his story for writing class a bit more and maybe test out his draw skills (that were nothing near Rukia's). He didn't think anyone would mind if his notebook and pencil appeared out of nowhere.

"Duuuude," Jude greeted Neil as he wandered into the common room. "Awesome spread. Total bonus points for the syrup. I give it a seven out of ten on the breakfast scale."

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Nova had bypassed the breakfasty things, but he couldn't help but silently watch all the people coming into the common room. Peaking over the couch, he tried to draw the people he saw. He didn't have much else to do.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

He got a mellow wave when Jude noticed him.

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Nova returned a nervous wave of his own. He thought he was being stealthy, but it seemed that he was noticed by someone. He thought he recognized this person from class.

Billy rose early with the notion of running the remaining turmoil from the past two days out of him. He'd slept with the lights on in his room last night, which bothered him. What was he five?

"Morning." he greeted, coming into the common room before heading out.

Nova noticed that William guy from before. He decided to draw him. He especially enjoyed drawing in the eye patch.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy waved to Nova.

[00-nova-00.livejournal.com]

Nova waved back and returned to his drawing/writing. The story could definitely use more people with eye patches.
