Fourth floor common room, Tuesday afternoon

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

In an effort to keep himself from dwelling on things he didn't want to dwell on, Dean had abandoned his room and was sitting on the couch in the common room, listlessly flipping through the channels on tv. He paused on one of those court shows and shook his head after watching for a few minutes. "Okay, now those people are freaks."

Isabel was also not dwelling on things she could be dwelling on. Hence, common room and hopefully a distraction. "Five words," she said, coming in taking a seat. "The gene pool needs chlorine."

"I hear that," Dean said.

"Seriously, nobody should be that stupid. What are they arguing about today?" Isabel asked as she tossed a piece of chocolate towards Dean. "Here. It help keep your brain cells from dying from exposure to the stupid."

"Thanks," Dean said, shoving the entire piece in his mouth at once. "Something about a coin on Ebay, I dunno."

"Thrilling," she said, nibbling a piece of her own. "That's what happens when you buy from dealers that don't have a good rating."

Lana waved at Isabel. "Hey," she said quietly.

"Hey Lana," Isabel replied with a small smile. She'd heard radio and could only imagine how Lana was feeling. "You doing okay?"

Lana shrugged. "As well as can be expected, I guess. With a little extra feeling stupid for really thinking this time would be different."

"It's not stupid to want things to work out," she said.

Lana wandered in aimlessly. "Wow, You look almost as good as I feel," she said to Dean. "Is the crazy TV helping at all?"

"It's a distraction at least," Dean said, gesturing at the couch in an offer of a seat.

"Thanks," she said, taking a seat. "Distractions are good. I need lots and lots of distractions."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I think half the school's looking for distractions right now," Dean said.

"I almost think I'd have prefered Fandom crazy over my weekend," Lana admitted. "You get caught up in the amnesia stuff too?"

Jenny stood in the doorway watching for a moment before she said, "Don't these people have better uses for their time? Like counseling?"

"Dr. Phil's on at four," Dean replied.

[ashockingbitch]

"Oh, ugh, pass," Jenny said. "He's such a troll."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Nah. I've fought trolls. He's nowhere near ugly enough."

"Now there's some quality television." Meg said sarcastically when she entered the common room.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Only the best to rot my brain with," Dean replied with a grin.

"I prefer the shows with the paternity suits." she said. "Those people are crazy."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"See, that's what I've been saying. You want to look for the real freaks, that's a good place to start."

"It's up for an Emmy," Isabel chuckled. "Hi Meg!"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" she said. "How are you? Barring this weekend, I mean."

"As far as wacky weekends go, this one wasn't too bad," she laughed. "I only thought I was engaged to be married in two weeks."
