Second Floor Common Room; Monday Morning.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

An excited squeal pre-empted a very excited Turtle Wexler bursting from the door of 210 and making a beeline for the common room, where she excitedly plopped on the couch, snatched up a remote, and went to the news channels as if to confirm what she had read in her WSJ.

Another squeal followed.

Up! It was going back up!

It was like Christmas! She happily bounced as she sat on the couch, buzzing and barely even able to focus on anything more than the little up arrows on the tickers going across the screen. She snorted at all the nay-sayers talking about its instability.

Not long after, another excited squeal could be heard approaching the room from upstairs.

"EEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!" Something small and green burst in and began bouncing around.

Which, despite the fact that Turtle was just squealing herself, earned Robin a weird look. Turtle didn't think he was into the market, so she wasn't sure if their joy was over the same thing. "119.17 points?" she asked, head tilted, checking to see if it was the same squeal-inducing event.

"Eeeeeeeeeeee...." Robin stopped squealing and bouncing, and caught his breath. "Pardon?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"199.17," Turtle repeated, although not surprised by this response. "How much the Dow Jones Industrial Average went up. I'm going to guess that's not what you're 'Eeeeeeeeee!'-ing about."

"Oh, no, no I didn't know about that. But I'm glad, since, it sounds like a good thing?" Yeah Robin didn't know anything about the stock market.

"Very good," Turtle informed Robin with a nod. "Especially with how it's been. But, if that's not it, what are you being all 'zohmigawd!' over?"

"I got into the play!" he squeed with a bounce.

"Oh, yay!" Turtle chuckled a little and bounced a little on the couch for him. "What part did you get?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Ralse." Robin announced proudly.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"And he is....?" Turtle asked, unfamiliar with the play.

Actually Robin was too. as was his mun cause I think it's a fake one So he'd looked it up, and could therefore handwavily describe the role to her.

When Robin described the role to Turtle, she was a little wide-eyed at first. This moment lasted about a second before she just busted out laughing. "Oh, maaaan. This is going to be quite possibly the best play ever."

Robin bounced excitedly. "I know it's gonna be soooo much fun!" He was a little worried about how well he'd be able to pull off a villain role, but he wasn't about to back down from the challenge.
