Fourth Floor Common Room, Afternoon

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Anyone who came into the fourth floor common room would be greeted by the site of a chimp, sitting on the couch and watching TV. He wasn't just watching it though, he also had a bowl of popcorn for throwing at the TV when it got too stupid, and a remote for changing the channel when he got bored.

The chimp was actually have some trouble staying on one channel and seemed to be changing them every few minutes.

[Open!]

Tony's dorm exploration got him to the fourth floor common room, but he froze when he saw the chimp. He tried to remember what he knew of chimps. Were they dangerous? Well, this one appeared to be domesticated and it was likely someone's pet. He took a step closer. "Hello," he said to it, cautiously.

"Ooooh oooh oooh!" Marco the chimp said excitedly.

Joan was still pretty annoyed about her wake up call and decided to go exploring.

She wandered past the fourth floor common room, poking her head in to see if there was anyone she knew.

And she boggled when she saw the chimp.

Tony wasn't sure if that was chimp for "glad to see you" or "I'm going to bit your nose off." He eased forward slowly and took a seat on the opposite end of the couch. "Good boy," he said in a low, hopefully soothing voice. "Or girl. Good chimp."

"Oooh oooh oooh!" The chimp greeted her with a wave.

Marco nodded at the first statement, though it was a bit hard to tell. "Oooh oooh oooh!" He switched the channel, yet again.

Tony waved. "I see you survived the first day."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Um... are you a student?" Joan asked.

See, she was trying that whole open mind thing.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan smiled. "Yeah... and I think my sanity is intact, but I'm not a hundred percent sure."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Oooh oooh oooh!" Marco informed her, neither agreeing or disagree, but still being excited. Everyone makes their fun their own way.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea if that's a yes or no," Joan said. "Or if you even understand me."

[wantstodirect]

Tony laughed. "Yeah, this place is pretty nuts, huh?"

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"I met a talking frog, my roommate has a wolf and, well," she nodded at the chimp.

So that's a yes.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

The chimp sighed and face-palmed. Face-pawed? Either way, there was face-appendage. "Oooh?"

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan tilted her head. "I'm guessing that means you do understand me."

[wantstodirect]

Tony looked at the TV. "Fan of the Food Network? You do a lot of cooking?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Oooh oooh oooh!" Marco agreed and offered a hand to shake. Paw. Thing.

[wantstodirect]

"I met several people from other planets," Tony said.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco glanced at the TV and would have rolled his eyes. Instead he gave another "Oooh!" and changed the channel, yet again.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan smiled uneasily and shook the paw. "I'm Joan," she said. "Um... obviously you can't tell me your name. But, it's nice to meet you."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan shook her head. "I'm not convinced this isn't all a bad dream. Did you have any sort of preparation for this?"

[wantstodirect]

"I'll take that as a no," Tony said. "Any good movies on?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Oooh oooh!" Marco nodded enthusiastically.

[wantstodirect]

"Sorta," Tony said. "I have some experience with weird. Not quite this level of weird, though."

Talking to a chimp was not something Joan ever expected to be doing. But then again, there were a lot of things in her life she never expected to be doing.

"So, I'm guessing you are a student here? Though I'm not quite sure how you'd take tests."
