4th Floor Common Room, Sunday Eve

John sat on one of the couches, snacks on hand, bottle of pop at the ready, flipping through the channels waiting for the Big Game and the commercials to start. He's totally not bribing people with food, nor does he have a sheet for the spread.

[open like a common room should be!]
the_merriest: (oooh! neat!)

Rikku hopped in looking for free snacks, but was transfixed by the loud rock music playing. And the weird and oddly compelling guy who was singing.

"What are you all watching?" She grabbed an open chair. This was gonna be good.
the_merriest: (chitchat)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Rikku grins. "Heya! That guy's kinda weird, but I think I like this music. Where's the ball?"
the_merriest: (shiiiiiiny)

"Nope!" Rikku bounced a little in her seat. "Do you guys really not have blitzball here? That's so depressing! It's the best game ever and nobody here knows how to play."
the_merriest: (oooh! neat!)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"So wait, they took a break from the game for a concert?" She stared at the scren, then grinned. "More sports should do that!"

"Blitzball is amazing! OK, ok, ok, so. They fill this HUGE sphere with water, right?" She jumps off the couch to gesture frantically with her hands. "And there are five players plus a goalie, you know? And you have to pass the ball and take shots at the goal but the other players are allowed to tackle you or poison you or do a nap move that puts you to sleep. And if one of your players falls asleep you have to THWACK! them with the ball to wake 'em up! Just hope it's not your goalie! And Tidus could do this one sphere shot that just WHOOSH! It was unbelievable! And people get fixed at the half but other than that, boom, you're on your own! And everybody would go, to the big stadium in Luca, it was so huge!"
the_merriest: (and then and then and then)

"Well, yeah!" She bounces with enthusiasm. "You just gotta hold your breath. The quarters are only five minutes long. And for moving, you just swim around."

"Ooooh, they're kinda similar? Really!?? I'll have to remember that! Do we have any of those sports here?"

Both twins were also intrigued by this strange singer on the tv..and by those weird head banging twin-looking girls dancing around him.

"Hello.." They both mutter while watching the oddness.
the_merriest: (rock on)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Rikku smiles at the twins. "Hi! Man, this teevee thing's got weird stuff. Last time zombies, and now - whoever those people are."

"Totally. American football is strange..." Kaoru agreed with a shrug. He wasn't sure about the zombies, but sports other than baseball and soccer were kinda weird.
the_merriest: (I have a Cunning Plan (TM))

"I think I'd like more sports if they had singing bits in the middle." She squinted at the stage. "Although I don't recognize that symbol."

[identity profile] 2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com 2007-02-05 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
They both squinted at the stage too. "Is that supposed to actually be something..?"
the_merriest: (hmmmmm)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Rikku shrugged. "Maybe it's a science thing?" She grabbed a spare piece of paper and sketched it down. "I wonder if the library would have any information on it."

[identity profile] 2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com 2007-02-05 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
They gave her a strange look. This wasn't exactly the most intelligent game in the world, they doubted that some strangely shaped stage was going to actually mean anything...at all.
the_merriest: (headscratch)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
She squinted at the paper. "Does that look right to you guys?"

Teddy waved at the new person. "Hello."
the_merriest: (you betcha)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Hi there!" Rikku waved. "I don't know you, do I?"

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2007-02-05 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
"No, I don't think so," Teddy replied. "I'm Teddy."
the_merriest: (i rock)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm Rikku!" She grinned. "I'm new here, so I kinda don't know most people yet. How long have you been here?"

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2007-02-05 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Since last semester," Teddy replied. "Enjoying your time here so far?"
the_merriest: (close-up glam)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
"You betcha!" Rikku grinned. "This place is great! I'm learning about all kinds of neat machina - I mean, machines. And I've got some class with a guy who says he's a god, but I'm not sure if he really is. And you people have the weirdest things on your teevees."

[identity profile] notthehulk.livejournal.com 2007-02-05 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Teddy laughed. "Yeah, wait till you see some of the really weird stuff."
the_merriest: (confident)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2007-02-05 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Rikku giggled. "You mean on the teevees? Or around this place? Cause this place gets kinda weird. I was a fairy for a whole weekend!"
