Second floor common room - Friday afternoon

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

Faile sat crossed-legged on the floor in front of the TV. She tucked her divided skirts around her bare feet and leaned forward a bit more.

"Do it again," she commanded John who sat on the couch behind her, holding the remote control.

"What, change the channel?" John asked, hitting the channel up button again.

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

Faile smiled, not answering as she tried to figure out what was happening on this channel.

It was The Weather Channel.

"Oh!" Faile said in amazement. "How does the man know what the weather will be?" Faile knew some Aes Sedai could tell what weather was coming, but she knew that any man who had the power would quickly be destroyed.

Chad was on the second floor; he thought he was on the fourth floor. Not that it really mattered when he peeked into the common room, distracting himself from the original goal of finding Teddy's room.

"Are we teaching a new kid about TV?" That was always fun.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey big brother," John said. "I'm always willing to teach people about culture." Even if John was no master of the explanation.

Faile turned and grinned up... and up at him. "Yes! It is quite fascinating. I'm still not sure if I understand how it works, but it is incredible."

And then there was a crazy looking fuzzy muppet entering the room with a giant bowl of popcorn held over his head.

"POP-CORN! POP-CORN!"

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

This? Was enough to get Faile to stop staring at the TV. Speechless, she just blinked at Animal.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Popcorn?" Chad asked, as if verifying something that wasn't already insanely obvious.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey," John greeted Animal. "Popcorn's my favorite, can I have some?"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Hello again, fuzzy-funny-thing." Anemone eyed the bowl of popcorn greedily. "Is that a tasty thing for sharing, or some form of entertainment?"

Sabriel was holding her borrowed copy of The Amethyst Flower when she entered the common room. "Oh, hello." She waved vaguely to the others. "Is there anything to drink here?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Sabriel," John smiled. "You looking for soda drink or water drink?"

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Faile said, giving Sabriel a small wave in return.

Anemone was preparing to go exploring when she heard the familiar voice, and popped her head into the common room. "Hi Faile! I'm going exploring. Do you want to...." She trailed off as she saw the t.v. "Oooo! Vidscreen! I was starting to think this place was absolute stone age."

[abhorsentobe.livejournal.com]

"Vidscreen?" Sabriel repeated, puzzled.

John looked up at the unfamiliar girl. "Hey, wanna watch some TV?"

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Anemone." Faile greeted her roommate with a smile. "John says it is called a TV. Are you familiar with it?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"New girl!" Marco called out. "Welcome to electricity!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Robin waved cheerily to Anemone. He liked her. She'd asked him to dance.

On his way out of the dorms, Marco noticed a television that was on and took a detour. "What are we watching?"

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

"Everything," Faile said with a smile for the new boy.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Marco," John said with a grin. "Can I get a soda?" He was still hopeful that Marco was a vending machine.

After the park this morning, Annette wandered up to find Dick. She checked the common room first since so many people seemed to be in there.

"Uh. Hi. Everyone."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Annette! Join the mindless TV watching." Marco said from his spot on the couch.

"Mahna mahna, doodoo, doodoodoo. Mahna mahna!" Robin, as he often was, was singing. "Hi everybody!"
