Third Floor Common Room: Thursday Evening

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

There was a sign near the entrance to the CR.

Single Zone:
No couples or significant others allowed.
Any couple coming in and acting cute enters at their own risk

Anyone venturing past the sign would find Mel watching horror movies. Specifically horror movies where young couples in love end up getting killed.

There was also a mug of something she was drinking that was definitely not alcoholic. Really.

[Open of course. Even to OTP couples. *glares*]

Doom, needing a break from his work, came down to the common room.

"Excellent choice for a sign," he complimented. "This false holiday has no place here."

"I don't mind the holiday," Mel said. "I just don't need to see any forced cuteness. What's up with the outfit? The masquerade thing is tomorrow."

"This armor is what Doom wears," Doom said. "Doom has no need for dances."

[the_merriest]

"Hiya!" Rikku bounced, not recognizing the dude with the metal suit thing going, but eh. Fandom, right? "Did you want some candy?"

She held out her bag jammed full of Reese's Peanut Butter Hearts, tiny candy hearts with sayings on them, and all sorts of obnoxious cutesy Valentine-oriented things like that.

"I have lots," she explained.

"Doom has no need for candy," Doom said. "Take it away."

[the_merriest]

Rikku peered in, a few now-wilted roses still bouncing in her hair, holding a huge bag of candy. "Hiya! Ooooooooh, is this Bloody Teenage Massacre 4?!"

What? Her ex liked horror flicks.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Five," Mel said. "Or six. Does it matter? They all die and that's what's important. Gimme candy."

[the_merriest]

"One of 'em had that girl in it, you know, the one who almost looks like that other one?" Rikku said, tossing some of the sugary goodness over to Mel and cramming some into her mouth. "And I was sure she was dating that one guy but everyone says it's just a cover 'cause he's gay. But it's not her anyway and I think it wasn't this one."

Ferris took a running jump and flopped onto a spare couch. "This is the life."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"You said it," Mel said kicking her feet up. "We all need some sort of refuge from all those couplese."

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"I used to be one of those couples. I think I like this Valentine's Day better. I've spent a lot less money."

[the_merriest]

"Hiya!" Rikku bounced. "Want some candy? I have lots."

She had already eaten a lot, given her current state of extreme hyper, but that didn't mean she didn't have plenty left. She shoved the bag of Reese hearts and tiny slogan hearts and just about anything else moddable you might find kicking around the Sugar Overdose aisle near Valentine's.

"I've never been known to turn down a free sugar high. Candy me up."

"Jumping onto furniture is the life?" Doom asked. "Bah. You do not know what living truly is."

[takingthedayoff.livejournal.com]

"And a metal-clad guy does? I know my fashion is 30 years out of date, but seriously, metal? That's bold."

Zack wandered into the common room. "Evening."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Robot guy!" Mel said in greeting. "Grab a seat. Some bimbo is about to be impaled."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"That sounds painful," Zack replied, taking a seat.

[the_merriest]

"Hiya!" Rikku waved cheerfully. "Candy! Want some? It's goooooooood. I even froze some of the Reese hearts and they are so good frozen that it's not even fair."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Zack said, waving back. "I've never frozen candy before."

'I do not date, dammit' was still Reno's creed. And he thought this was a pretty stupid holiday.

Except for the orange rose that was clipped into his lapel, but that just made him feel like he was big shit, and wasn't at all romantic in the least, shut up.

There were things dying on the TV. Far more important.

He nodded to the television.

"Nice."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"I'm all for dismemberments," Mel said nodding at Reno. "Grab a seat. Rikku's got a ton of candy."

[raspberryturk]

"Dismemberments and sugarcomas. What better way to spend a pointless holiday?" Reno nodded and took a seat. "So, what's the stock evil killer of the movie? Cannibal? Vampire? Cheerleader gone bad?"

[the_merriest]

Rikku blushed a little at the lapel and waved. "Hiya! Candy?"

She resisted the urge to greet him as "Dork."

[raspberryturk]

"Candy." Reno the Dork would have to be hard-pressed to turn down free candy. "They ain't gonna hit me with a mini or confuse or somethin'? I got my fill of status ailments this week, yo."
