2nd Floor Common Room - Tuesday Night

Meg was way too awake for it being so late in the evening. She headed down to the common room to fix herself a bowl of cereal and watch some TV until she got tired.

Now if only there was something on...

[It's open!]

"You look bored," Meg's roommate observed with a bowl of cereal of her own and a grin.

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Bored and awake." Meg said. "I figured I'd be less bothersome in the common room."

Cassandra's grin widened, "I won't be ready to sleep for hours yet. I don't think I've had more than four hours of sleep at a time in years." She shrugged, "After a while you get used to it."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I wish I could live off that little sleep." Meg said. "I need my eight hours."

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
"You should do something to make you tired then," Cassandra offered practically.

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Hopefully the TV will help." Meg said. "But I can't decide what to watch."

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I used to just watch whatever was on." Cassandra was never really a discerning sort of television viewer.

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"That's the thing; there's nothing on." Meg said, continuing to flip channels. "You'd think there'd be come fashion police show for the Emmy's but nooo. All there is is wrestling and football."

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, if there's nothing on, you could try something else?"

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
"What do you do to get tired?" Meg asked.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
"Practice," Cassandra rolled her shoulders. "Can make you tired pretty quick."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess I could practice cheerleading." Meg said. "I could use the exercise. I've been taking advantage of the free ice cream in the freezer lately."

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"There's ice cream in the freezer?" And Cassandra missed it!? How did this happen!?

"Or I could teach you to kick people in the shins properly. If you want," she offered.

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah! Good ice cream too." Meg gave the freeze a longing look. "But I can't eat anymore. Can't."

"That'd be great!" Meg said. Not that she really wanted to kick people. But it'd be good to know just in case someone asked again.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
"How about," Cassandra smirks, "We work hard enough that we can have some ice cream."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Meg grinned. "That's pretty much the best idea I ever heard."

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"I usually practice on the roof. Want to try it?" She held out a hand, offering to take Meg's bowl of cereal (and dump it in the sink since Cassandra doesn't really know how to wash dishes).

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah!" she said, handing Cassandra her bowl. Someone would clean it up. There had to be janitors here.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Good thing too.

"Okay," Cassandra said as she came back from the sink sans bowls. "Let's go."

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Cassandra!" Hermione said, happy to see her. "Hi!"

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, Hermione," Cassandra grinned hugely. "How are you doing?" She didn't really have to ask, but it was a polite thing to do.

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Good," she said, and meant that. "I'm sorry I didn't manage to find you earlier. How are you? Are you settling in all right?"

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"I am," she nodded. "I like my roommate. And Katara is teaching me to read. And... classes are... interesting?" And a bit weird, but...

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
"That's good," Hermione smiled. "What are you taking?" Standard question for her now.

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Um... I'm taking communication and career choices and... interdisciplinary something?"

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Those are good!" she said, impressed. "So you think you'll be here for a while then?"

[identity profile] iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"I think... I think so. At least for a little while." Maybe longer.

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hermione had been on her way up to the third floor when she heard the TV, so she decided she could poke her head in for a minute. "Hello."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Hi!" Meg said, waving. Hopefully Meg's cheerlead-y cheerfulness wouldn't scare Hermione off.
smartestone: (in the common room)

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Hi," Hermione said, thinking she looked sort of familiar. "Are you watching anything in particular?"

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Not really. I'm just trying to make myself tired." Meg said. "Oh, I'm Meg by the way. I don't think we've met."

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Hermione," she said. "Good to meet you. I highly recommend the Discovery Channel. People might say it puts them to sleep, but it's also educational."

...Dork.

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, I love the Discovery Channel!" Meg said. "I was actually watching it in here last week. Everyone called me a dork but whatever, it was interesting."

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes!" she said, way too excitedly. "It's good to be able to learn from television. If that doesn't interest people, I worry for them a little."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Exactly! It's better than that stuff they put on MTV." Meg said, making a face. "I think that actually kills brain cells."

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Hermione liked her. "I watched a commercial once," she said, sitting. "It felt wrong, like I had to reread a history book in order to make up for it."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"You're lucky you saw just a commercial." she said. "My friends back home are obsessed with MTV. I have seen way too much of it."

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm so sorry," Hermione frowned. "People are usually at least a little more... here." Better to skip the word than insult anyone.

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I've noticed that and believe me I'm thankful for it." Meg said. "You know Dick Casablancas? My hometown is just girl and guy versions of him."

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
"I've heard radio," she said, and frowned harder. "Really?"

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeeeeeeah." Meg said, nodding slowly. "I mean, they're sweet people once you get to know them just not very...intellectually stimulating."

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hermione shook her head. "One of the major pluses I've found to being here is that people actually understand intellectual concepts. Some will even try to compete using them." Hi, Rodney.

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2007-09-19 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Really? Thank god!" Meg said. "I was beginning to think such a thing didn't exist."

[personal profile] smartestone 2007-09-19 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"I was the same way, and I don't think my friends from home believe me," she said, and leaned forward a bit so she could drop her voice. "Don't tell anyone this, but Zack even confused me once."
