3rd Floor Common Room: Sunday night [6-8-08]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana had gotten a tad too much sun yesterday so she'd spent most of today in her room. However, now she was feeling the need to get out a little, so she'd made a batch of popcorn and was curled up on the couch hoping to find something interesting to watch. Several of the tiny little monkeys were curled up with her. They were surprisingly good company.


[Open as common rooms are!]

"Those monkeys look pretty cozy," Luke said, settling into a chair.

"Hey!" she said smiling brightly at him. "How are you? And yes, yes, they are. I'm told I'm pretty good to snuggle with."

[wanna-be-lucas.livejournal.com]

"I can attest to that," he agreed. "I'm kinda whatever lately. What's it like being a graduate?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

She smiled at him. "Good to know. You're welcome to repeat the experience whenever."

"Being a graduate..." she let out a deep breath. "It's exciting and boring and nerve-wracking. It's weird still being here and not taking classes. And I'm both excited and terrified about going off to college. Another new place, no one I know... And I'm not the best at making friends."

"I hear that," Lucas replied. "It can be tough to get out there and meet people. I need to practice myself."

Lana nodded. "Guess it's sink or swim once I get there," she said. "I mean, I suppose if I go back to Smallville, Lex would take me in, but I don't have a home or family there anymore, so I'm kind of on my own."

[intraspective]

Ino wasn't entirely looking for Lana, not really but there was a bit of that in her reasons for wandering down to third floor.

"You know," she said off-handedly, heading for the cupboards and looking for granola bars, "it'd be a pretty paltry friendship if I needed apologies when you were just speaking your mind."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Still nice to offer them, just in case," Lana said with a quiet smile. "Keeps friendships strong."

[intraspective]

"Maybe," Ino said dubiously. Where were the granola bars? "But I'd think, really, that an apology for something like that is still on the low side of being needed."

Aha! Victory! Ino tugged a box of chocolate chip granola bars out of the cupboard and snagged two of them then glanced at Lana. "Want one?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana held up the popcorn. "Got this instead, but thanks."

"And... better safe than sorry?"

[intraspective]

Ino made a bit of a face at the popcorn. So not want she wanted tonight.

"Suit yourself! More for me!" Not that she was planning to eat more than the two she'd already taken out, but whatever. Hush.

"...possibly," Ino noted. "Though I'm pretty sure I'd be bad at that way of thinking." Just a bit.

Feeling a bit more prone to restlessness lately, even with all sorts of friendly little monkeys to play with, Chad and Prince Oscar Pedro and went to the common room to see what's up.

"What's up?" he asked.

Prince Oscar Pedro, from one shoulder, meowed.

A small flock of albino monkeys on the other shoulder also chittered a greeting

"Hey Chad," Lana said with a smile. "Just... trying to find something not terrible to watch."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"You do know that most TV is terrible, though, right?" Chad asked, not unkindly, simply curiously. The meow Prince Oscar Pedro gave seemed to beg to differ, and the monkeys bounced a little to agree with the cat, although Chad figured they were just being little lackeys, because he doubted the monkeys actually watched that much TV.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but I was tired of being in my room, but too lazy to decide on a movie to bring in with me," Lana said with a smile.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"I got the entire first three seasons of Carnivorous Kingdom on DVD if you're interested," Chad offered, although he realized that very few people here had ever even heard of that show, which was a shame, because it was probably one of the best ones ever.

Rivaled only, perhaps, by ANTM.

[intraspective]

"Your kitten is," Ino said impudently, with a grin. "Really, really up."

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Not as far up as my head, though, imouto," Chad pointed out, although, really, this statement was not without want of trying. Prince Oscar Pedro just found it a lot easier to balance on Chad's broad shoulder rather than the top of his head, although it was a little flat on top.

[intraspective]

That got a laugh. "True enough. How've you been Chad?" Ino tugged her hair as she realized that it had been... quite... awhile since she'd seen him. Ooops.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad shrugged; for the cat and the monkeys, the world shifted. One monkey nearly fell from the great height, but saved himself with a last minute clinging and the very monkey-like ability to climb back up. "Been okay," he said. "Can't really complain." Or, rather, he could, but he wouldn't. "How about you?"

Peter much like his mun was enjoying air conditioning today so a night out defined as 'staying in and watching TV' suited him just fine. He hunted around for an occupied common room, and wandered in. "Hey."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Lana said with a smile, dislodging a couple of monkeys to be able to wave. "Come on in. Popcorn?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm pretty sure those are monkeys," Peter replied. He liked to think he was funny.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana rolled her eyes and grinned at him. "Sooo funny."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." Peter took a seat. "So you see those too, huh?"
