4th Floor Common Room, Sunday Eve

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

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!]

Free food? Teddy was so there.

He flopped down on the couch and waved at John. "Hey, John."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yo dude, what's up? How's the wife and kids?" John waved back.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Good, good. Got turned into a ghost for a day."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I heard that was going around. You okay, though? You look pretty alive. And solid." John throws a Dorito at him to test.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

He wasn't a ghost. Chad and him spent mose of the weekend making sure of that, mostly through a lot of cuddling and... other things.

The Dorito did not pass through him, and was eaten instead. "Went back to normal Friday night."

John is not jealous that Teddy had someone to care about his solidity. Totally not. "I tried to help a bit on the research. Not sure how much I helped. Good to have you back."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Good to be back," Teddy replied. "Passing through objects? Much less cool than I thought it was."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Hrm. I figured it'd be cool. Maybe it was the way it was done? I mean, if you could be selectively unsolid, that'd be a hell of a thing. Spell or mutation or tech. whatever."

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Teddy suppressed a shudder at the thought of being like that again, even if he could control it. "I think I'd still have to pass. Being solid is much nicer."

He nodded to the television. "Who's playing?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I dunno. I mean, I'd love to have some sort of super power or something. I feel like a nobody here. I'm... human. No powers. No magic. No tech. No nothin'. I mean, I'm not even displaced by much, just about 3 years. All I can do is hack. And fight. And guns. And... people like that are a dime a dozen."

John flips to the pre-game.

"I wish I was a normal person," Teddy admitted, grabbing the totally modded bowl of popcorn. "Less crap to deal with then."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, we all want what we can't have. LIke, a normal life." John pegs another Dorito at AlienMcMutantHead.

"So what's it like, being an alien mutant?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Free food the twins were all over.

"John~" They called out once they got up to the fourth floor, having just finished work.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Yo. What's up, Twinzors?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Who, in turn, threw a fistful of popcorn at John.

"Not a mutant," Teddy said. Because back home there really was a big difference. "And I don't know. I only found out about the alien thing just before I came here.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Fine." John threw several Dorito-shurikens. "What's it like being an alien? What's it like to be a Teddy?"

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

And Teddy responded by throwing afew pieces of popcorn at John's face.

"Dunno. Met another alien like me over Thanksgiving. It was awkward."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Fighting over the same drumstick?"

John threw a fistful of popcorn back and ate a few.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"No, more like weird bowing and stuff. Really rather not have that happen again."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Tired." They flop down on the couch and let out long sighs.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"What, you prefer curtsy and hand kissing? What else? I mean, being a soooopaah powerful alien mutant lovechild crossover thing has to have some benefits."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"You two look terrible. What happened?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Other than nearly disappearing Friday, we've been sleeping..." Hikaru let his head flop back onto the couch.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"I'd prefer to not have anything like that happen. Ever," Teddy replied, eating some popcorn. "And unless you count inter-galactic wars being threatened, not really."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"I hear that. I've been tired, and I wasn't even ghostey."
