4th floor common room, Saturday afternoon-evening-night (1/5/08)

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

After labeling and putting away all of his groceries (not that he didn't trust Michaelangelo; it was the police cadet in him), Sky had decided to seat himself in the common area rather than shut himself up in his room. His only company at the moment was a bowl of freshly-popped popcorn, the precious Grape Judas Squishy he had purchased earlier from Turtle & Canary, and the Fandom High manual, which he was in the process of memorizing back-to-front. He thought about bringing out his CD player or turning the TV on, but decided he liked peace and quiet better.

And anyway, he had a feeling "peace and quiet" didn't last too long around Fandom.

[Open to all. Common room, isn't it? If you ask Sky nicely, he may even share his popcorn.]

Dean wandered out to the common room with Hunter, giving the cat and himself a change of scenery, pausing when he saw the unfamiliar boy sitting there. "Hey," he said.

Startled, Sky jumped a little, thankfully keeping both popcorn and Squishy balanced. He looked up from his handbook at Dean, then glanced at the cat. Sky had a bit of a soft spot for cats, though he'd never admit it.

"Hi," said Sky. "I'm Sky Tate. I just moved in here yesterday. And you are...?"

"Dean Winchester." Dean gestured at his cat. "And this is Hunter. We've been here for a while."

"Ah. Nice to meet both of you," said Sky. He set down his manual and stretched, deciding to take a bit of a break. Memorizing could wait. "Popcorn?" he offered, remembering his manners and holding out the bowl.

"Thanks," Dean said, putting Hunter down to explore before taking a huge handful of the popcorn. "So, studying already?" he asked around the mouthful.

Finally having finished putting his things away to his satisfaction, Makoto had made sure that he looked good enough as a girl before wandering the dorms a bit more. He stepped into the common room a floor above his, and figured he might as well try some more socializing as a girl.

"Hello?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Dean greeted the newcomer. "New here, I take it?"

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

"Is it as obvious as all that? Or have you just been here for a while?" Makoto asked with a smile. "I'm Makoto."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Dean," Dean replied with a grin. "I've been here a while, yeah. And the pretty girls all tend to stick in my memory."

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

"Flatterer," he accused him, purposefully blushing a little, "I bet you say that to every girl."

Sky looked up from the handbook as Makoto spoke, then stood up and courteously straightened himself.

"Miss," he said politely. "I'm Sky Tate, I just moved here yesterday. And you...?"

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

He smiled at the 'Miss', it was always nice to know he was doing it right. "I'm Makoto Amano," he said, remembering to switch the order of his name around so it fit with the regular conventions in America. "And I just arrived yesterday as well. How are you finding it so far?"

"Nice to meet you, Makoto." Sky offered her the popcorn bowl before answering her question. "I'm having mixed feelings about this place, to be honest. The people here are nice enough, but hearing stories about dinosaurs and plagues... and naked people running through town to get good grades... I'm just not sure. We'll have to wait and see, I guess. It's only my second day here."

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

"No thank you," He waved off the popcorn, not feeling particularly hungry, "Ah?" Makoto stared at him, "Naked people?" Not that he was inwardly panicking over the idea or anything.

After a morning spent sleeping in, Romeo decided to at least try to meet some new people. He roamed through the dorms until he found what seemed to be the most inhabited room.

"Is this a party to which one ought to be invited?" he asked as he leaned in the doorway.

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"It's a common area, so... no, no invitations required," said Sky, raising an eyebrow as he greeted Romeo, offering a hand to shake. "I'm Sky Tate, a new student here. And you?"

[withoutverona]

"Romeo Montague," he said, taking the hand. "I did not know what the custom here was, so I thought it better to ask. I am also new -- this is to be my junior year."

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Hey, it's better to ask than do anything wrong," said Sky with a smile. "It's nice to meet you, Romeo. Do you like it here so far?"

[withoutverona]

"It is quite different from my home, but yes, I believe I do," Romreo said,. "It seems peaceful. And you?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Nah, just a common room to hang out in," Dean told him. "Come on in."

[withoutverona]

Romeo came on in, and perched himself on one end of the couch. "I'm called Romeo," he told the young man. "And I have been here but one day."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I'm Dean. I've been here.... uh, many days."

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

"I see no reason you can't come in," Makoto offered, with girlish smile and flip of his hair.

[withoutverona]

Oooh, pretty girl with long long hair. Romeo aimed an especially lovely smile at her. "Well, if you see no reason, than I must," he announced. "I am Romeo, and what name is yours?"

[notreallyagirl.livejournal.com]

"It's Makoto," he said, smiling at Romeo, "Have you been here long? I just got here yesterday?"
