Third Floor Common Room: Afternoon

[isourking.livejournal.com]

In between bites from a giant sized bowl of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, Ron would be seen smashing the keypad of the remote in an effort to find something decent to watch.

Eventually he settled on the BBC and watched in horror as two British women attempted to clean what had to be the most disgustingly dirty house he had ever seen.

"Bloody hell. That's actually someone's carpet?"

Perhaps eating food while watching this show was a bad idea.

"A lot of people watch the box," Viki noted, poking her head into the common room.

"It beats studying," Ron said after gulping down his bite of food. "And it's called a TV."

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"It is, though, a box," she noted, still cheerful. "No matter what else you call it. And box is easier to remember. What have you to study that you're avoiding?"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Nothing really at the moment. It's summer workshop stuff," He said looking out the window. "Not that I ever study. And really with all the snow it's not really summer at the moment."

Agnes waved cheerfully to Viki.

"Good afternoon," Viki bubbled. "I had class this morning, did you?"

[finding-x-dream.livejournal.com]

"No, I've managed to have a day free from classes, today. It's very relaxing -- back home there's no end to chores that need to be done."

"Ew," said Jen as she wandered in and caught sight of the house on the TV. Then, upon spotting the Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, "Ooooo."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Help yourself," Ron said offering the box. "Though you might not want to watch the show while eating."

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Jen said, and went to go find a mug or something to use as a bowl. She settled for an Abyss Boy-sized plastic Kwik Stop cup, but didn't fill it quite to the abyss point, and dug out a handful to start munching.

"Nah," she said blithely, "I think I'll be okay." She figured she'd seen it all.

That lasted about ten seconds before -- "Oh my god."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"You should have seen the kitchen," Ron said in commiseration. "I think they'll circle back to that in a second or two."

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon!" Viki chirped at the girl.

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Jen said, glad for the distraction from the Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bomb she'd been contemplating and working up the nerve to eat, thanks to a particularly disgusting corner of the house on the TV. "New kid, or not-new kid I never got around to meeting?"

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

She blinked.

"...how new is new?" Viki asked curiously. "I got here on the weekend."

Agnes totally had this television thing figured out. Mostly. But the concept of a reality show totally threw her for a loop. "Why would anyone perform theatre about this?" she asked.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"I think it's real," Ron said. "Which makes all the more disgusting."

[finding-x-dream.livejournal.com]

Agnes made a face. "I've seen goats that are cleaner."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Most goats would run away from this place."

Angela was innocently looking for people when she found her way to the third floor common room. She wasn't quite expecting the assult of revolting imagery on television.

"Oh my God, ew," she declared, after just a couple of moments staring at the screen. "Is that for real?"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"I wish I could say it was fictional, but I can't," Ron said shaking his head. "Frightening, isn't it?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I wish you coulld've said that too," Angela said with feeling. "People got dirtier in the last few years."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Oh? You one of those time-misplaced students too?" Ron asked and then put his bowl of food away in disgust when the two women pulled... something out of the bathroom."

As he trotted into the common room with a few herbs and spices in his hands to cook something or other, he looked at the television.

Then shuddered.

"And now I know why the keep had stone floors..."

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Viki chirped brightly. "Carpets are softer though."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"You get used to stones soon enough, though. And blankets will do the trick."
