Fourth floor common room, Wednesday evening

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean had popcorn, candy, soda and the remote control to the tv. He wasn't exactly sure what was on -- but he figured he could flip channels until he found something interesting.

He also had a toy mouse and a grey cat that would chase said mouse every time he threw it. He looked down at Hunter as the cat brought it back for the umpteenth time. "Shouldn't you be getting tired right about now? What, did you manage to find the kitty equivalent of Red Bull or something?"

Hunter didn't answer beyond staring intently at the toy mouse in his human's hand.

"Your cat retrieves?" Helen asked curiously from the doorway. "Isn't that more a dog thing?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"It's not like he does it on command," Dean said. "But he's worked out that if he doesn't bring the mouse back, I won't have it to throw it again."

His room was boring so Hannibal wondered down the hall and into the common room. It wasn't deserted, which was nice, but he didn't recognize the guy in there.

"Petsitting?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Only if that applies to your own pet," Dean said, looking at the newcomer curiously.

Helen smiled at him. "Hello."

Hurley wandered in, mainly because he heard people on his way up the stairs.

"Dude, kitty," he said.

"Hunter," Dean supplied. "I'm Dean. He's mine."

Harvey was exploring each floor one by one, trying to map out the place in his head and, of course, look for new people to meet.

"Cute cat," he said to the guy he didn't know.

Helen smiled at him. "Hello."

She was working at all this pleasantry stuff.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Dean said. "I think so."

"Person that I don't know!" Hannibal greeted. "Welcome to the common room!"

Meg was finally getting around to checking out the other floors of the dorm. She stopped in the doorway and smiled at the cat, suddenly missing her own cat Vanessa. "Cute cat."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Dean said. "You're cute too."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude, seriously," Hurley agreed. "Oh. Uhhh, hi. I'm Hurley."

Jess was wondering if all the common rooms looked the same, so he figured he'd take the risk of getting out of his room for a little while and go upstairs to check. When he saw there were people there, he stayed near the door, just observing and keeping out of everyone's way.

Helen nodded when she saw him, wondering if he was like Warren.

"Hey, Pet-" Dean started then frowned. "You either got even lamer hair or you're not Peter."

Tahiri had been wandering the dorms again, trying to keep her mind off Ethics class yesterday by a little bit of exploration. The dorms weren't nearly as interesting to explore as the temple at Yavin 4 had been, but she was restless, as she usually was, and it was something to do.

"Oh," she said, catching sight of Hunter and pausing in the doorway. "Is he yours?"

It was a lame question, but she had to say something.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Dean said, smiling at her. "He's Hunter, I'm Dean."

[meg-powers.livejournal.com]

Meg was pretty sure she recognized the girl from yesterday's class so she gave her a small wave.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"And I haven't met you either," Hannibal said, offering her an easy smile. "My bad luck."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Heeeey roomie," Hurley greeted.

Firekeeper and Blind Seer had no real reason to be up a floor from their room, except perhaps for Firekeeper's own unwolflike curiosity. And so there were two wolves (though to the untrained eye, they might appear to be one teenage girl and one very large wolf) who wandered in to the common room.

Firekeeper blinked, not expecting quite so many people. And the cat.

"Hello," she announced. "Am allowed in?" she asked, remembering that many of the visitors to her own floor's 'common room' had done the same.

Tahiri waved to her fellow barefoot orphan, though she'd never gotten the girl's name.

"They haven't kicked me out yet."

Andros could occasionally be social, he could even occasionally venture beyond the second floor.

"Hello," he said as he came in.

"Hey," Dean called out from his spot on the couch.
