Fifth Floor Common Room: Monday Afternoon

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

It was an exciting Monday afternoon in the common room. There was a Space Battles marathon on the movie channel and absolutely no classes to worry about.

Andrew and John were sitting on the sofa, engrossed in the program. And probably geeking out a little. "Dude, Hanno totally shot first, I hate when they show the special edition," John complained. Okay, a lot.

"I choose to block out most of the changes," Andrew admitted. "They pain my soul in ways I can't begin to describe."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That's probably healthier than yelling at the TV every time I see it," John agreed. "But this change really takes away from his credibility as a badass pirate."

Perhaps this human would be helpful? Berthold extended a tentacle and poked his back.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"What changes?" Sokka asked. "It looks the same as it did the last time I saw it..."

A Jeff peered into the common room.

Seeing Andrew, his head withdrew.

Then popped back in.

Space Battles. Weird bloke. Space Battles.

He padded over to the spot furthest away from Andrew and sat down. Some things, you just had to compromise your integrity for.

John looked amusedly at Jeff. "How's it going?"

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew smiled and waved at Jeff. Sure it was forced, but he could try, right?

There was another human who might be a potential source of ice cream. Berthold reached out with two tentacles and attempted to grapple his feet.

Jim wandered up and saw what was on TV. "I haven't seen this in a few years," he said. "What part is this?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Part four," John informed him. "That planet's about to explode with the new special effects."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

More humans! One could never know too many, especially if they could find him ice cream. Berthold sniffled sadly and wiggled.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"The awesome part."

Sokka nodded sagely.

A tentacled monster hidden under a blanket slithered out into the common room in search of ice cream. One of the humans in his room had disappeared recently, taking most of the tasty clothes with her, and the other one had not remembered to bring ice cream often enough.

John stared at the blanket that seemed to have ventured into the common room on its own. Strange.

Mel had slept through most of the morning and was going floor to floor in an effort to find her favorite flavor of Pop tart.

Having found it (frosted strawberry) she flopped down in one of the comfy chairs.

"What show is this?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"This is none other than one of the greatest movies ever," John said geekily. "You know, Space Battles!"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"You still haven't killed me," Jim mused. "Even after telling everyone on the radio that you would. I think you like having an arch-nemesis."

No classes meant a bored Anemone, so she wandered the dorms in search of entertainment.

Drawn to the noise that seemed to be coming from 5th, she wandered in and flopped down on the floor. "I haven't seen this show before. Is it any good?"

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jim said. "Really good movies about people fighting in space. Highly entertaining."

Even though he didn't appreciate it on a highly geeky level.

A rather bored Pam had been wandering the floors looking for something to do or watch. "Oh, yay. We're watching the good ones."

[fat-halpert.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Jim said, smiling widely. "You don't care for the newer ones?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco was bored, which was enough reason for him to wind up in a common room that was not his. "Oh hey, is that the first one? I mean, the real first one?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It is," John replied. "Can you give me a soda?" That was never gonna get old.

Fifth floor was not one of Neil's usual haunts but he was on the search for snack food.

Spying Andrew and John geeking out engrossed in their movies, he chuckled and headed towards the pantry to complete his raid.

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

It didn't take Andrew long to notice Neil. Peeking over the back of the couch, he took a moment to just enjoy watching the other boy move about the kitchen area.

"Greetings and salutations." Billy waved to those in attendance. "What's on?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You've never seen Space Battles?" John asked, surprised.

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"DUDE! SPACE BATTLES!!!"

Sokka hopped onto the couch excitedly and promptly started humming the Superguy theme. Or it might have been Space Battles. Sokka couldn't carry a tune, and John Williams only had one tune, anyway, so it was kind of hard to tell.

"Could Duke be more annoying?" Luke whined whined as he flopped down onto the floor and focused on the movie. "And that's totally not what it looks like when you fly through an exploded planet."

Irulan entered the common room and was immediately taken with the movie. "What movie is this?"
