Third Floor Common Room - Sunday Morning

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris had spent most of Saturday sleeping off the effects of the shadow attacks. So he was awake early today and decided to go and hang out in the common room.

He wasn't about to try to cook, but he did root through the cupboards and pull out a variety of cereal boxes, as well as getting bowls and spoons down and making sure the milk and juice were in the front of the fridge.

After fixing himself a bowl of cereal, he sat down in front of the TV and started flipping through channels to see if there was anything interesting on.



[ETA: getting dragged AFK for a bit; will pick up tags when I'm back! Err, forgot to say I'm back now :)]

"Okay," Chris shrugged. "I'm Chris, by the way. I don't think I've met you yet."

"Don't think so," Mac agreed, she then smiled at him, because making a good first impression would probably be a good thing. "I'm Mac. You're... new, I guess?"

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"How'd you guess?" Chris asked.

"Wild guess," Mac replied pulling her feet up so she was sat crosslegged on the sofa. "After a year or so around here, you start to know people, at least by sight. How'd you like it so far?"

"It's a lot better now that I'm not disappearing," Chris said. "So you've been here a while? Did you know Piper Halliwell?"

"I still do," Mac said twirling the apple between her hands. "Went out to California to see her and Veronica a couple of weeks ago."

"Really? That's cool," Chris said. "She, um... she's my mom. Well, not her exactly, but an older version of her."

Mac arched an eyebrow and scrutinised him for a moment. "Can kinda see the likeness," she said after a second. After everything she's seen, that's... not the weirdest thing.

... apart from, "Piper is and older version of your Piper? How old are you?"

"No, no!" Chris said. "She's younger than my mom would be. I was born in 2003. I'm from the year 2020."

"Oh." Mac seemed to take that in, nodding slowly. "Still weird," she said. "Then again, my timeline's all screwy, so I'm not really one to talk."

"This place seems to be full of that," Chris pointed out.

"What do you really expect from a place that rains meatballs?" Mac said shrugging and taking a bite of her apple.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"Especially when people are just taking that in stride."

"It rained pudding this summer," Mac said once she'd swallowed her mouthful. "Chocolate, and vanilla."
