Second Floor Common Room [late evening]

After hearing about Jim and his very exciting Homecoming date -- which she was totally okay with, really -- Pam didn't feel like doing much of anything.

Which was why late Thursday night found her camped out in front of the television, focusing on absolutely nothing on the screen. But she was totally okay with Jim going out with some random girl. Really. Toooootally fine.

[Pam's here to run into someone in particular, but open to other night owls.]

Blackheart had absolutely nothing else to do tonight. He didn't exactly sleep, so wandering about as opposed to being locked in his room all night was generally the game plan.

It occurred to him that the antics of the weekend had left him behind on his homework for Pop Culture. The homework being, of course, to watch television.

No better time than the dead of night to do that.

"Anything good on?"

"I'm learning all about how for $19.95, I too can own my very own defective-looking juicer," Pam replied, glancing over at the guy she didn't know. "Hi."

"There are better things to spend twenty dollars on in this world, I'm sure," Blackheart mused, nodding at the girl he, likewise, did not know. "Hi. Usually up this late?"

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
"No, not really," she replied, smiling a little. "I can't sleep."

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Sleep is for the weak," he chuckled, grinning.

He meant it.

"Any particular reason you can't?"

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Disappointment," she said, seeing no real reason to lie at the moment.

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
"What a sin," he said, crossing his arms. "Is there anything that you need to make it less disappointing?"

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
"A Homecoming date," she said dully, flipping channels.

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah." He looked at the television as she flipped from one program to the next. "I don't have one of those, either."

Not that he had been looking, per se. But company wasn't always so bad. Generally.

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
She looked over at him, surveying. "That's interesting. I'm Pam. Nice to meet you."

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, it's a pleasure," even Blackheart had manners. He took note of the fact that she was looking him over. "My name is Blackheart. And before you ask about the name, yes, my father does have issues."

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
That made her smile a little more genuinely. "It's not that bad."

She kind of thought it was that bad, yes.

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
He laughed a little. He was pretty certain that she was lying.

He kind of liked that.

"You don't have a date, then? For Homecoming? Were you looking for one?"

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe. Are you offering?" she asked slowly, thinking he was absolutely cute enough to maybe make Jim jealous. Not that she was really making that a priority or anything.

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
"I... could be?" She really wasn't bad looking. For a mortal. And it was bad form to show up to such things without a date... "Maybe I am. If I was, would you say 'yes?'"

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
She shrugged. "You seem nice and I need a date. Sure."

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. So this is how dating worked, topside. Blackheart would have to make a note of that.

"I'll see you tomorrow evening, then. Where should I meet you?"

This was bound to be interesting.

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm in 214, or we could just meet at the dance?" she suggested.

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll see you at the dance, then," Blackheart said after a moment of consideration.

He was actually almost looking forward to this a little. Somewhat.

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
She smiled. "I'm wearing green, but you don't have to match or anything. See you there."

[identity profile] way-black.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Blackheart considered.

He probably owned some green, somewhere...

"Good night." He grinned, nodded his head a little, and then turned to leave the common room.

There wasn't anything good on TV right now anyhow.

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Night," she called after him, smiling to herself.

Jim was going to be sooooo sorry he had asked Random McWhoreygirl rather than her.

She didn't actually know Faile. It didn't really matter to her.

Irulan had a book with her and decided to search out for coffee.

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
"You can't sleep either?" Pam asked, smiling a little.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Irulan smiled, "Yes, I thought to finish reading my book." She raised a copy of 'Empires through the Ages'. "Yourself?"

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Not really tired," she said vaguely. "Are you going to Homecoming tomorrow?"

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Irulan nodded, "I shall attend but again, I think I shall be in the sidelines since I do not have a 'date'."

There was something weird saying 'date', in her time there was no dating just: 'Meet so-and-so and by the way, he's your future husband' sort of thing.

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I just got one," Pam said, looking a little smug at that. "But there's nothing wrong with going alone."

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
"That's good for you!" Irulan said, suppressing the slight twinge of envy, "I suppose it is better I do not have a hate, else my Father would look too harshly on him. I think he has prospects for my soon-to-be husband."

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Pam made a face. "Ew, arranged marriage."

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Irulan let out a small laugh, "I suppose, yes, to other cultures it would be. Enough about me, tell me about your man!"

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
"He's not," she said, shaking her head. "I don't even really know him. We just decided to go because...I kind of wanted a date."

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh," Irulan frowned, "but you like this date of yours?"

[identity profile] keds-champion.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
"He seems nice," she said, shrugging.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-10-05 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, if you think so then." Irulan said, trusting her judgement. "I just hope we both enjoy the homecoming."

She offered Pam the handwavy coffee she was making. "Here, it is not too sweet but I think it will help us."
