Fourth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam, not wanting to sit in his room for some handwavey reason, made his way into the common room to check things out.

He was still feeling a bit exploratory, but he settled down on the couch to watch some television and hopefully, meet some people on his floor. There was a bowl of popcorn on the table in front of him and it was totally shareable.

The TV happened to be set on a random sports channel that was currently showing a World Martial Arts tournament.

[OOC: Open says me! For I am bored.]

Kou was exploring, so he stuck his head into the unfamiliar common room to see what was going on. "Tournament! Sweet!"

He headed over to the couch, grinning at Adam. "Good taste in tv."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam couldn't but grin. "Thanks man." He extended his hand to the newcomer. "I'm Adam Park, new up and coming junior."

[tiger-bouncer.livejournal.com]

"Kou Leifoh," Kou replied, shaking his hand. "Sophomore. Which is weird, but I'm getting used to it. Are you new here?"

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"It's nice to meet you Kou." Adam smiled. "I am, yes. You too?"

[tiger-bouncer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, me too. Do you like it so far?" Kou's attention was divided between the screen and Adam.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"I do, yeah." Adam nodded. His gaze went back to the TV and he was awed by the butterfly kick the one guy used on his opponent. "I'm meeting a lot of cool people here. And the workshops I'm taking are pretty neat, too."

[tiger-bouncer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. It's not as bad as I thought it would be," Kou admitted. "I didn't want to come. And you know, those guys aren't half bad." Television was a highly distractive force.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Same here, though I wasn't expecting half the stories I heard when I first got here." Yeah, staying away from gremlins was a priority of his. "No, they really aren't." Adam admitted, impressed by their skills.

"I'm a little too jaded to pay too much attention, I guess. But I have to admit, the Sigfried and Roy thing was a little crazy." Kou was watching the television with open interest, but shifted his gaze to Adam. "Do you do martial arts?"

Having napped all day left Chad pretty awake at this point and so he was checking out what was going on where.

And hey, look. People. Doing stuff. Chad looked for the strongest-appearing chair to have a seat.

[tiger-bouncer.livejournal.com]

Kou looked up at Chad and grinned. "Hey."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad lifted his chin. "Hey." Did he know this guy? Oh, yeah, he was in sex ed with him. Chinese checkers.

[tiger-bouncer.livejournal.com]

"Been keepin' busy?" Kou asked, totally not admitting that he'd completely forgotten Chad's name.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad wasn't entirely sure he ever knew Kou's name.

"Yup."

Sleeping was keeping busy. Totally.

"You?"

[tiger-bouncer.livejournal.com]

Well, that did put a damper on knowing names. Kou still didn't know Chad's name at this time, but he wasn't going to let him know that. "Oh, yeah. Been using any of the 'advice' from class?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Not ye--"

Chad cut himself off, blinking, as he abruptly remembered something. Which didn't seem related, but it really was. "Aw, helll. I forgot to go to the clinic today." He grunted distastefully.

[tiger-bouncer.livejournal.com]

".........." Kou stared at him. Then shook his head. "...No. No. I really don't want to know." He waved his hands in the universal gesture of surrender.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

The response confused Chad for a second...until he realized what he had said. "Oh, uh, no, man, that....stitches have to come out; nothin' like...that."

Man, Chad sure was feeling really grateful for that whole dark skin hiding blushes thing a lot lately.

Adam smiled and waved at the new occupant. "Hey."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad lifted his hand, waveless-wave back. "Hey. What's up?"

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Nothing much, just hanging out." Adam admitted, grinning. "I'm Adam, by the way. One of the newbies."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Thought you didn't look familiar." Offering out his hand, Chad introduced himself. "Yasutora. Everyone calls me Chad, though."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Chad." Adam shook his hand. "Care for some popcorn?" He offered up the bowl.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Popcorn's good," Chad grinned a little and took a handful. "Guess this is when I ask how Fandom's been treatin' ya."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Guess so." Adam chuckled, munching away on a few pieces of popcorn before answering. "It's been good, so far. I've met some really cool people and my workshops are entertaining, to say the least."
