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."

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Andrew replied with a sigh, gazing dreamily at Hanno on the screen.

John gave Andrew a sideways look and teased, "And here I thought you'd dig the Duke Lucas type."

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]

"Duke Lucas!" Andrew was affronted. "I mean, sure, he might be gifted with the Inertia, and while I've read many an intriguing blog on the possible tantric implications of that particular power, I could never get past the whining!"

This coming from Andrew.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Tantric applications?" John asked, eyebrow raised. "Or do I not want to know?"

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you know." Jeff made some weirdly nervous gestures with his head. "Going."

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you know, mind control, hypnosis..." Andrew decided to stop there. He was turning red.

"Oh look, a Rothan," he exclaimed, pointing at a random character on the screen.

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

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"At least there aren't any classes this week," John offered, wondering why Jeff was always so weird. "Though, people are probably going to be really crazy by Friday."

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

Jeff shot an equally forced smile back at Andrew. He probably would have to placate him to survive.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Tantric Inertia, using mind control and hypnosis... John thought Andrew really needed to get some action. And soon.

"Those guys are pretty nasty, remind me of a lit teacher I had once," John said, following Andrew's subject change.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

Jeff winced, hiding his head underneath his arms. "Don't talk about Friday," he groaned, "It might forget."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"What might forget?" John asked, thinking he probably shouldn't have.

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Hey! That was encouraging!

Andrew's smile was a little more genuine as he asked, "How's the dog?"

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Friday. It might forget it was supposed to happen." He hid further. Kind of like he was turtling.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"She ate my homework," Jeff informed him. He felt it was safe mostly because of the distance.

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"Many Rothans died to bring us this information..." Andrew intoned in a grave mocking voice. "I mean, Rothans are supposed to be pretty bad ass and all. Was this an awesome lit teacher?"

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? I had a Snapu demon eat a fifteen page research paper once," Andrew commented. It had also eaten his aunt's cat, but he decided not to share that information. He still felt pretty bad about it.

"Did you, um, have your homework saved?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Nah, just ugly," John snickered. "And not very fond of me. Can you believe that?" Because John was the model student, right.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"...Saved?" Jeff blinked at him. "What, like in a jar?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Somehow I don't think Friday's going to forget happening," he said. "Unless you don't want Friday to happen."

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew had to laugh. "No, silly. Like on your computer. Or do you not type up your homework? Or was it they kind of homework that you don't really type up, like a craft thing? Are you into arts and crafts? I tired to take up knitting, but I almost poked my eye out with a knitting needle and now it just scares me..."
