Third Floor Common Room [evening]

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

Evey had found her room with little difficulty, and after tossing her bag towards one of the (thank heaven) two beds, she'd memorized where she'd be returning and wandered out to see what she might find.

And naturally, the there was the common room on her floor, with a television (granted, much older than she was accustomed to, but it would do.) And where there was a television, there was news, and ways to catch up with the fact that she was twenty years in the past.

As a result, Evey was curled up on the couch, quietly flipping through channels and trying to acquaint herself with a world that seemed somewhat different from her history lessons. Perhaps her memory was just a touch fuzzy.

[open! come watch TV yay!]

"New person!"

A.J. might be doing a lot of bouncing today. He couldn't help it. There was just this...energy about New Person Day.

"Hi. I'm A.J." He gave the girl watching TV a bright smile before glancing in the TV's direction. He turned a little red with realization that she might have actually been, you know, watching something. "Uh, I'm not interrupting anything, or anything, am I?"

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

She hadn't been, thoroughly distracted as soon as he bounced in. "No, you're not," she assured him with a smile. "Hello, A.J. I'm Evey. You're not interrupting anything important -- I've just found I'm twenty years in the past and I like to be informed about the world. Whatever year it might be. And that includes...." She glanced at the television. "Infomercials about remote light switches. Huh."

A.J. did a poor job of biting down a lopsided grin at that. "This craaaaazy decade," he said, holding up his hands and shaking them a little, and then went to plop comfortably down on the couch. "What haven't they thought of. Y'kno, in my time, the big thing were these lights that went on and off when you clapped." He put his hands together for two, brief claps. "Inventive. I'm from ten years back, y'see, so, welcome, fellow time traveler."

Seregil was exploring the dorms and was drawn by the sound of voices. His attention when he came in was immediately drawn to the box showing people talking. "That is amazing."

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

She glanced up. "It's an advert for bleach," she replied, eyeing him.

"I haven't seen this type of magic before," he said, staring at it. "There's messenger bubbles, but..."

Trying not to grin too much at that good old TV-fascination, A.J. waved to the other guy and introduced himself with a light, friendly sort of smile. "Hey, other new kid. I'm A.J. Nice to meet you."

"Seregil i Korit Solun Meringill Bokthersa," Seregil said, tearing his eyes from the box to look at the other boy. "Just call me Seregil."

After checking out her room and having no problem finding it, Alex wandered a bit. She found herself in the common room and noticed that it was all ready occupied.

More people to meet. She liked the idea of meeting new people. You never knew who you'd come across.

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

Evey glanced up, gave the newcomer a shy smile, and flicked her gaze back to the television. She wouldn't greet her if the other girl didn't wish to be disturbed.

Alex hadn't wanted to disturb the other girl, but seeing the smile, she decided to be friendly.

"Hi," she waved slightly, not wanting to seem rude.

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

Seregil smiled at the newcomer. "Hello."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Alex smiled back, wondering if this entire place was filled with cute boys. So far, so good.

"Hi, new person!" A.J. lifted a hand in a wave at the girl. "I'm A.J. Good to meet you."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Alex couldn't help but laugh a little at his greet. "Nice to meet you too, A.J. I'm Alex."

Amber was on her way up to the fourth floor, but she was checking out each floor, and each common room. This one had people in in. While shy, she still walked in and declared to the room at large, "Hi!"

[therhimineecat.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Seregil replied, with a smile. "Are you new here too?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber returned his smile and nodded. "Yes. I'm Amber Atkins."

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Evey said, blinking a little and offering a small smile.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Are you a new student also?" she asked, walking over to a chair and sitting down. The TV really didn't interest her so Amber's attention wasn't drawn by it.

"Hey, new person!"

No, that wasn't ever going to get old. It was just going to get to a part where the new people wouldn't be new and he couldn't call them new anymore.

"I'm A.J."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" she repeated. "I'm Amber Atkins! Nice to meet you A.J."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

Noticing the girl, Alex smiled and waved. "Hey."

Artoo came whistling into the common room, stopped with a surprised screech and zipped out almost before he could be noticed.

Far faster than should be possible, he returned, pushing a disgruntled Luke before him.

"Ow, Artoo, what?" Luke asked, staring at the droid before making a much more important scan of the room.

He went very, very pale as he stared at one new but very familiar face. "Padmé?" he asked quietly, moving closer.

"...sorry?" she asked, staring at the unfamiliar boy and the...beepy thing.
