Fourth Floor Common Room; Saturday Afternoon.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Cal had slept in for three reasons: the first was simply that it was a Saturday, the second was because yesterday had been a very long day, and the third was because he had trouble sleeping anyway. It was being in a new place, with a lot of new people, in an entirely new situation. He was used to it, of course, so he was used to losing sleep over it at first.

Besides, it was nothing a little coffee couldn't fix. He rubbed the back of his neck as he drifted down the hall and into the room with the couches and the TV and the kitchenette and started rummaging around for what he needed.

While...trying not to step on the tortoises.

Wait...

Cal frowned at the little golden tortoises swarming at his feet right now.

Hopefully that was something a little coffee could fix, too.

"Cool; you been here a while, or...?"

"I've been here for about a year," Adam answered, smiling. "This place continues to surprise me," he chuckled.

"Don't tell me that," Cal deadpanned. "I was hoping it might stop after a certain point."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Oh, my bad," Adam winced, his eyes betraying his amusement. "Of course it will stop at a certain point, what was I thinking?"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"That's better," Cal nodded. "Next week. It'll all stop next week, is what I keep telling myself."

"Things will turn back to normal," Adam nodded. "I just hope we don't get too bored," he winked, having found the tea. As he made himself a cup, he wondered what Fandom would be like if everything ended up being normal. No invasions, no AU!kids, nothing of that sort...

"Hey. There's always tiddlywinks," Cal offered, clearly well prepared and content for any sweeps of boredom that might blissfully come along.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"You know, I've heard of that but I've never actually played it," Adam admitted. Boredom was bound to happen, but it never got quiet for long around here. That was the draw, or drawback for some, of Fandom.

"Neither have I," Cal admitted. "Euchre. I'll teach everyone to play euchre, then."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"I'm game for that," Adam admitted, smiling. "No pun intended."

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"That's too bad; that was a good one."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Adam laughed. "I'll be sure to save it for a late time. Who knows? Maybe I'll get to use it again."

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Exactly; chalk it up for later use. A good pun doesn't go bad. It can be milk it for all it's worth. I definitely am up to egging it on."

Okay, those were kind of long shots, but Cal liked them well enough.

Adam grinned, laughing lightly at the puns Cal used. "Hmm, I may have to remember those. They seem like winners."

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Cal grinned back. "I have way too much time on my hands..."
