Third floor common room, Monday night

[solo_sword]

Jaina was on the bored side. Even Jaina realized that Jaina on the bored side was not necessarily a good thing. This was why she was in the common room, vigorously flipping channels and occasionally muttering things like "...There's a channel for cooking?"

She obviously didn't spend a lot of time watching stuff like this back home.

[All open!]

Sure, he was from the fifth floor, but John wandered into the third floor common room in his boredom. "Hey, what's on?" he asked the girl who was totally in one of his classes.

"Is there supposed to be a channel for shopping?" she asked. "I've decided people have too much time on their hands."

"It's a strange concept, I know," he nodded, sitting down on the sofa. "You should try the food network. It's educational."

"Why do I need a channel when I can just use a food synthesizer? Save myself a lot of trouble," she said. "Besides, it's time better spent listening to music on a television."

Pam was bored like a big bored thing, so she wandered upstairs to see if there was anyone around.

"Hi," she said, waving as she shyly took a seat.

"What's a food synthesizer?" John asked. "And the point of a TV is to watch and listen, not just listen."

[solo_sword]

"Hi," Jaina said. "Did you know people ride things called bulls for entertainment? And they broadcast it?"

[solo_sword]

"It basically processes the food for you. Much easier, trust me," Jaina said. "And you know, that's what I would have thought, but the channel that says it's Music Television lies."

"Rodeos," Pam said, nodding. "And in some bars? You can ride a mechanical bull. It's supposed to be fun."

Tori was feeling wide awake, so she decided to check out the common room. She had a feeling she find a few folks in there.

John really wanted to pretend he hadn't seen Pam, but he couldn't be rude. "Hey, Pam. I promise there are no turnips here," he said holding up and waving his empty hands.

Pam bit her lip. "It's okay, my ex-boyfriend's kind of into the...." She mimed taking something up to her lips between her thumb and forefinger, and inhaling. "I understand."

"Right, MTV show videos that," John started to attempt a bad explanation and stopped himself. "It's all really weird, actually."

Liz hadn't been very social lately so she decided to change that. "Hello," she said as she entered after finding a common room that had people in it.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no. Not that. It was...it was for a movie, but that's not important," he shrugged.

Far less slimy than yesterday, Zack wandered into the common room. "Evening."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"You were serious about the movie?" Pam said, blinking. "Oh. So you're sane and not actually on drugs? And you were having a turnip hit on me on purpose?"

[solo_sword]

"That just makes me want to hear you explain it more," Jaina grinned. "I'm listening."

[solo_sword]

"I was right. People do have too much time on their hands." Though really, Jaina would probably do it. "I'm Jaina, by the way. I don't think we've met."

One day Jaina might stop immediately thinking of Tori as "Uncle Luke's girlfriend." And the day after that, she might get used to it.

"Hey," Jaina greeted her. "Want a turn at the remote?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Pam," she sad, waving. "And yeah, people completely do. It's kind of sad. Are you new?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Unfortunately, yes. It was on purpose for hilarity's sake," John cringed a little. "I'm sorry I seemed totally insane."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Okay," John said slowly. "People make these mini-movies to go along with their songs. Sometimes they show pictures of themselves singing their songs, but it's not a requirement. They call the mini-movies music videos and play them all on the music television channel."

"Hey Jaina." Tori smiled. "Nothing good on?"

[solo_sword]

"Hi," Jaina greeted her. "I've found movies in languages I don't know."
