Third Floor Common Room, Late Sunday Evening

[the_merriest]

Rikku had no idea why she was up. She should be tired, but she wasn't. Go figure!

Luckily, her Monday class wasn't until after lunch, so it was okay if she stayed up late. She'd even remembered to bring snacks this time. Lots of sugary goodness and crunchy stuff.

The TV said it was a Movie Monster Marathon and Rikku was learning all kinds of stuff. She felt like taking notes. She'd have to ask someone later if any of these creatures were real or not. Most of them weren't anywhere in Spira, that was for sure.



(so very open!)

Seely also wasn't so much with the sleeping, he flopped down onto the couch next to Rikku. "Hey."

[the_merriest]

"Hey!" Rikku bounced. "Did you know werewolves need silver bullets to kill 'em? I so didn't. Are werewolves real or is that more of a swamp monster thing? Oooooh, did you want some snacks?"

Rikku: far more hyper than anyone had a right to be this late.

"Yeah, I knew that," Seely said, and shrugged. "They're not real around my neck of the woods, but this is Fandom, so..."

Z also should have been tired, but wasn't. So the common room it was! "Hey, what're we watching?" she asked as she entered the room.

"Hey Z," Seely waved. "Men in bad rubber costumes and worse special effects."

[the_merriest]

"Hiya!" Rikku waved towards the screen. "Monster Movie Marathon! Lots of black and white and zombies and werewolves and I think some guy who was a vampire. Creeeeeeeepy, but I think it's all fake."

Aravis had learned that one of the risks of staying out late and coming back to one's room late was that you might wake up to find your roommate's horse there.

And yet, she wasn't tired and she was seeking company. So that was why she wandered into the third floor common room, took one look at the television, and said, "...are those factual reports? Or is this more fiction?"

"Aravis," Seely grinned and perked up a little. "Monster movies, pretty damn fake."

[the_merriest]

"Aravis!" Rikku waved. "I think it's fiction? I'm gonna ask someone later who knows. The swamp-monster thing was fake, but zombies are real, so it's kinda confusing. Snacks?"

[multiplez]

"They're fake," Z told her. "Or at least, here they are."

Hamlet had spent a lot of time to himself as of late. He wasn't entirely sure why; maybe he was feeling the change from being a regular student to being a alumni and TA hard than expected. In any case, he found that he couldn't sleep on this Sunday evening, and decided to wander down to the common room at the end of the hall. He was somewhat surprised to still find a group in there at this time of night.

"Mind if I drop in for a short while?"

[the_merriest]

"Hamlet!" Rikku bounced excitedly. "Don't be silly, nobody minds. Hey! Do you know if any of this stuff is real? 'Cause zombies are, even though they're weird-looking. And this all looks fake."

"Hey," Seely waved.

Aravis ducked her head slightly. "Good evening. We are watching something about creatures that don't actually exist, though I'm not certain I believe that."

[multiplez]

"No, you're not welcome." Z rolled her eyes. "The more the merrier, come on in! Watch. Mock."

Mel doesn't bounce. Really.

But she does look pretty damned happy as she enters the common room wearing a new leather duster (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_trips/16939.html?thread=2974507#t2974507). "Hey gang. What's up?"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Firelady Mel!" Seely waved, then whistled. "Nice jacket."

[the_merriest]

Rikku's jaw dropped. "Whoa. Duuuuuuuude. That coat rocks."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis raised an eyebrow. "You're not overwarm in that?"

[multiplez]

"Ceiling," Z responded before twisting around to see Mel. "Whoa. Nice coat."

Donnie poked hie head into the common room when he heard the television going - it sounded like something Mikey would watch, but if he was disappointed not to find his brother there, he covered it well. "Evening?"

[the_merriest]

"Donnie!" Rikku waved. "We have monster movies, and snacks! Join us?"

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Donnie," Seely waved.

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Good evening," Aravis said with a smile. "Come help me prove that these could be real creatures!"

[multiplez]

"Why yes," Z said with a grin. "Yes, it is."
