Second Floor Common Room - Monday Evening

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

The traditional finals coffee bar was set up in the second floor common room, complete with assorted goodies from J, GOB and various caffeinated beverages from the Perk.

Meg was sprawled across the couch with her eyes closed, a book resting over her stomach. If anyone asked, she was totally studying.

[Open!]

The strong scent of coffee drifting the short distance down the hallway to her room had Adah limping toward the common room out of a combination of curiosity and boredom. Leaning against the doorframe, she peeked her head in to access the situation before she made the decision to limp in a little further. She likened herself to that rare okapi, always assuring the scene is without danger or with worthy viewers before delicately joining the realm of the real.

And there would be Jamie pouring as much sugar as he can into a mug of coffee.

"Coffeecoffeecoffeecoffee!" He said in a mantra-like fashion.

Billy, for the first time in his life, had a Christmas song stuck in his head and it wasn't bothering him.

"Have yourself, a merry little Christmas," he was singing under his breath. Then he hushed when he saw the girl sleeping on the couch.

Billy waved to Adah and silently offered her some coffee.

The mythical okapi slowly remembered that she had hands, or, at least, one, and, after blinking at the kid with the eyepatch, the reason for it growing increasingly gruesome each time she saw it, she lifted that hand in an idle sort of return of his gesture. The mythical okapi slowly remembered the meaning behind such a gesture, and then considered the offering. The mythical okapi usually didn't drink coffee; she preferred tea. But it was the scent of it that drove her into the grove today, so she gave a small nod, and reached out to take the cup.

The scent of coffee had Johnny wandering down the hallway to check out the common room. He grabbed a cup and a cinnamon roll, and wandered over to the couch where he saw Meg snoozing.

Not wanting to bother her... Okay, yes, he did want to bother her, he just wouldn't cause he's a nice sorta guy... he chose to sit in the chair close by.

"Hi, Adah!" Meg said when she heard someone come in.

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg sat up on the couch. "I don't know if you need any more caffeine."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"It's okay, I'm awake." she said.

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg opened up her eyes slightly. "Hey, Johnny."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie looked at Meg as if wounded.

"No caffiene?"

He pouted.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Heyy Meg," he said, mouth full of cinnamon roll. "Litte cat nap?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you can have more caffeine if you want." she said. "Just don't want you to overdose or anything."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Oh I know my limits very well," Jamie said with a nod.

And then continued to pour more sugar in his coffee.

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I have no idea why I'm tired." she said. "I haven't done a thing all day except deliver cookies and go get coffee and stuff for this thing."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, cool then. Merry Christmas."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

If she thought that was gruesome she should see him without the eye patch. He handed her the cup and smiled. "Merry Christmas. Or whichever holiday you celebrate."

"It's finals week, everyone is tired," he said, finishing off his roll. "What days are your finals?"

Adah in the doorway gave Meg a light smile in greeting back, deciding that the familiar face was well enough to prove the situation safe. She slid into the room, but didn't go far, leaning against the nearest chair to support her.

Meg boggled at the amount of sugar he was putting in his coffee. "Just...make sure you brush your teeth really well tonight. Don't any cavities."

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

It was precisely her imaginings of what lie beneath that were gruesome, not the eyepatch itself. A small grin surfaced on the face of the mythical okapi, as she looked down into the coffee, and, out of not really having a way of saying that she didn't exactly celebrate anything, so she just nodded in appreciation for the relatively empty sentiment.

"Oh don't worry about me! I haven't had a cavity since I was eight," Jamie said with a wave and then took a sip.

"Needs cream."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"I don't have one until Wednesday." she said. "And I think that one might have something to do with a stripper pole. Not much studying I can do for that."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Merry Christmas to you too." she said. "How many finals you have this week?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"There's coffee and stuff." she said, gesturing towards the bar. "Can't study without caffeine."
