Fourth floor common room: Saturday night

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal had dragged his blankets and pillows down to the common room, because they were supposed to be having a slumber party and some last lingering vestige of common sense told him he'd maybe tried Aravis' patience enough for one day.

It didn't matter, anyway. He was sure no one would come and it would just be him all alone in the common room and he didn't even know what he was supposed to do at a slumber party.

:Would you stop?!: Altra glared at Karal and leapt up to sit on the top of the fridge.

And now Altra was mad at him. Karal pushed some couches and chairs into an inward facing square in one corner of the common room, then went and sat in the middle of it, wrapped in his blankets.

John drug his pillows and blankets downstairs with him. He hadn't seen anyone all day and was feeling rather lonely. (Not that he'd left his room at all.) At least Karal and Andrew would pay attention to him.

"Hey," he muttered, making a pile of his stuff on the floor and laying down on top of it.

"No one talk to me," Gavin snapped as he came into the common room. "And give me some room! Stop crowding me!"

It was logical to him.

"You came!" Karal sounded pathetically grateful. "I thought I'd be here all alone."

Karal peeked out over the top of the couch and stared at Gavin. "Are you mad at me, too?"

"I call dibs on the chocolate!" Luke whined, dragging his blankets and pillow into a new common room.

And still in his pajamas.

"Now who's the fat one?" John snapped back, sitting up to smirk at Gavin.

"I just need space," Gavin snapped and took a seat, looking sour. "And why would I be mad at you? Did you steal my slippers?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"I like your water weight," Gavin snapped sourly.

"My room was lonely," John said weakly, rolling to face Karal. "You look like crap."

Jaina had been on her way up to the fifth floor, but all the complaining caught her attention, and she found herself stopping on the fourth floor. "You all look comfortable."

"You don't have to be so mean about it," he muttered, wrapping his blankets more tightly around him. "I didn't take your stupid slippers."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It looks better on you," John retorted. "Should we call animal control? You're sounding rabid."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"You don't have to talk to me like that," he said defensively. "It's not my fault."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"I don't have any chocolate." Karal sounded incredibly sad about it, too. "No one told me there was supposed to be chocolate. It's not my fault if I didn't know."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"How do I know that?" Gavin grumbled, glaring at Karal. "You could have! Someone took them and it could have been you."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Shut up," Gavin groused. "I feel like crap and I just want fruit smoothie and a blanket."

Andrew wondered in with a backpack, his pillow, and a stuffed teddy bear. He crawled over a couch and plopped down in the middle of the guys.

His eyes were red and puffy. "How much Tylenol can you take at one time?"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"It's not comfortable. I can't get comfortable," Karal grumbled. "Everything's awful and people keep being mean."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Only what it says on the bottle." Karal was happy to see Andrew - Andrew knew what was supposed to happen at slumber parties and Andrew wouldn't be mad at him. He hoped. "You're not mad at me, are you?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Who are we blaming, I'll yell at them about it," John replied. "I might feel better after yelling at someone."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, now that sounds good," John said. "Make me a smoothie and I'll lend you a blanket."

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"I could never be mad at you," Andrew said, crawling over towards Karal. "You are a beautiful man, a bright spot in an ugly, ugly world."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Andrew! I'm so glad you're here!" John exclaimed, dragging his pile of pillows and blankets closer.

"I dunno how to make smoothies," Gavin said and god, that depressed him to the point where he nearly started crying. "I don't know how to make smoothies!"

Well now, this was the first time she was seeing Karal like this. "Who's being mean?" she asked him.
