Fourth Floor Common Room; Thursday Evening.

[by137.livejournal.com]

A.J. was having one of those days again, where he had a ton of creative energy coursing through him, but wasn't exactly sure how to release it. He tried working on plans for his room in his room, but it was too quiet. It was a social kind of energy. So he moved into the common room on his floor, flopped comfortably on the couch with his sketchpad, and started sketching, hoping some people might drop in to keep him company while he drew. Sometimes, the best pictures came out that way.

He thought that, if he wanted people to come be social, he should be making food. But then he remembered that probably no one really wanted that. He could make a pretty mean bowl of Ramen, though...

Hoping for some free food from the common room gods, Teddy wandered over to his floor's one. No food.

Damn it.

But there was a newbie there so he might as well be social. "Hey."

A.J.'s eyes flitted upward for a moment. "Hey," he greeted back with a smile, before his gaze quickly danced back down, having hardly broken the movement of his pencil through the careful curve of a bent arm.

"Teddy! You're a boy again!" Charlie grinned as she came in, giving him a wave as she sat down. "How'd that happen?"

Donatello waved at the guy he hadn't met, trying a friendly smile. "Yo."

Hearing the name Teddy from someone else, Naminé turned. "Are you Teddy, then? I've heard that you're an Emperor."

Charlie came in after her shift at Groovy Tunes was over, and flopped down onto a couch in the Common Room. "Hey. Hi." She curled her legs under her and yawned a little. "What are you drawing?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"A picture," A.J. answered with an unforgiving grin.

Donnie was surprised to find people in his own common room. Never mind that he didn't go to them that often to know if it was actually weird or not.

"Hope you don't mind more company," he said as he took a seat, settling back with a sigh.

Please forgive him; he's still quite new, but A.J. couldn't help but staring.

"Dude," he breathed out in awe, "the craftsmanship on that is incredible." He'd never seen costuming that looks so...amazingly....lifelike...

"Hey, Donnie," Charlie said, watching him through half-slitted eyes. Yay for color-coordinated masks, making it easier for her. "How goes the designing?"

Honestly, Anne was fifteen, and if Marilla or Mrs. Lynde had known she'd been hiding under her covers for two days straight they would have been utterly -- well, 'scandalized' wasn't nearly a strong enough word for it. She hadn't felt so helpless and bewildered since her first night in Green Gables. Oh, she was comfortable enough among her fellows in Avonlea, but Fandom thus far had proved to be well outside her native element.

But ultimately it behooved her to make the most of her lot, and so it was with a tragically determined air that she finally emerged from beneath the bedclothes, dressed, and decided to attempt a brave social foray. So it was that a pale, red-headed girl in a plain brown gingham dress made her hesitant way into the common room and sat cautiously down on the edge of the sofa.

"Hello," she offered in a voice that to her credit trembled only a little.

A.J. looked up at the sound of a slightly timid voice and offered the somewhat shy looking girl an encouraging, but equally shy, smile. "Hey. You new, too?"

She had to be new, acting almost like he was feeling some of these times.

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Charlie said, waving the remote at the new girl. In a... hunh. Interesting dress. She'd found a new spy drama and had it on the TV with the sound on low. "Welcome, come on in. I'm Charlie."

Johnny waved at the nervous redhead in the odd dress.

" 'S alright, you can come on in. We won't bite," he said cheerfully.

Dean gave the shy new girl a friendly smile. "Hi."

[turtle-techie.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Donatello said, smiling at the girl in sympathy; she seemed kind of shy and he knew it could be sort of a shock to see him the first time.

Dean wandered down to the common room with his cat Hunter sprawled over his arm and shoulder.

"Hey, people," he observed as he came in.

[by137.livejournal.com]

Someone A.J. recognized was always exciting. "Hey, Dean!"

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie's face immediately brightened. "Dean! Hey! Oh, is that Hunter?"

[turtle-techie.livejournal.com]

"Hi Dean," Donnie greeted, tilting his head. "Is that your cat, or did someone...?"

Naminé stepped into the common room and gave the boy on the couch an amused glance.

"I see you've come much for the same reason I have," she laughed, holding out her own sketchbook.

[by137.livejournal.com]

A.J. beamed at the girl a little. "Why, yes, I do believe that is the case," he said, biting his lip against a smile. He shifted over a little on the couch because having a sketchbook meant she had to sit next to him so he could see.

Donnie waved at Naminé from his seat, smiling.

Only a couple of days in, and Johnny was already starting to get restless. He decided to work out his energy by wandering around the dorms until he ended up in a common room with people in it.

"Hey John," he said, sinking into a couch. "You workin' on something?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Hello fellow John type," A.J. grinned back. "Not really working, just sketching a little." And he titled the sketchbook so that Johnny could see the group of figures there in. They were just sketches, but they were sketches made with an acute knowledge of how to build them into something more.

Jenny wandered into the common room in search of something to eat. Foiled in this search, she shrugged and appropriated a chair for herself with a wave of greeting to everyone else around.

Donnie waved back, rather bemused; he'd done more waving in one evening than he had in several years, he thought. "Evening!"
