Third Floor Common Room - Thursday Morning (After Period 1)

With class done with for the day, Lucas settled on the couch in the third floor common room with pizza. Yes, pizza for breakfast. And he wasn't stupid, either. There was plenty to go around in case the smell attracted other like-minded student types.

Ooh and hey, Rescued by the Alarm was on.

Claire would be one of those like-minded student types. She was attracted partly by the smell of pizza, partly because It was Rescued by the Alarm, and she kinda sorta had a crush on DC when she was a kid.

So she waited in the door for a second, then came in.

"All that pizza for you?"

Zack flopped down on the couch. "Hey."

Donatello wandered in, holding his hands against his head where one would assume his ears would be if you could see them. The reason was likely the song that seemed to be playing around him, rather jauntily considering the lyrics.

"If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet...
"

"As fascinating as this is, I think I'm going to have to invest in earmuffs," he grumbled.

"Cool," Claire said, and used that as an invitation to sit on the couch and grab a slice.

"I'm Claire."

Claire was proud of herself for not staring at all at the giant turtle. Instead she chose to direct her 'wtf' face towards the ambient music.

"What is that?"

"Thanks," Zack said, snagging a slice. "Is it just me or are our teachers stranger than usual this session?"

"It's that obvious, isn't it?"

That was a confirmation, and Claire's still smiling. "Yeah, only had one workshop so far. Still trying to convince myself it's not as freakish as everyone makes out."

"Morning announcement says 'random background music'," Donnie said with a sigh. "Ooh, pizza!"

"A song about a mad scientist, I think," Donnie said, giving Claire a somewhat sheepish smile. "It seems to have decided it likes me."

Zack frowned and tilted his head to the side. "That singer sounds familiar."

Which would be when yet another jaunty song started playing around Zack.

Last week I left a note on Laura’s desk
It said I love you signed anonymous friend...

Zack waved to Claire. "Morning."

"Does he? I don't think I've heard him before," Don said, blinking at Zack's song as his own seemed to turn up the volume a little in response.

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don’t like it
What’s with all the screaming?

"They showed up in Professor Lyman's class," Zack said. "They thought I was in the mafia."

"I think it's the same singer as my song," Zack said, glaring at the blank space around him as it became even louder. "It keeps playing."

Cause it’s gonna be the future soon
And I won’t always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away ...


"HEY!"

Claire eyed the middle distance in that way one does when one needs to eye music and has do direction to eye it in.

"Is this one of those 'it's just Fandom' things?" she asked, hopefully

[identity profile] savedfornow.livejournal.com 2007-07-12 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh huh," she replied, highly skeptical and therefore sarcastic. "Cause the rest or life is so logical."

"Morning," Claire replied, imitating the wave. "How's it going?"
