Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Night

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Having had a pretty good day so far, Hurley settled in to watch some TV in the common room.

He ended up finding reruns of Exposé.

Dude, it was Billy Dee Williams and strippers fighting crime.

That was totally awesome.

[ooc: Open, huzzah! Come one, come all.]

[ETA: Hurley's player has gone to bed, but he'll pick up tags in the morn!]

"I think these tv's might be magic," Hannibal said, having wandered upstairs and down to the common room. "Where else will you find something as great as this?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, seriously," Hurley said. "This is... totally ridiculous, and yet I am loving it."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Some of the best things in life are ridiculous," Hannibal said, eyes on the television. "Ridiculous and with half naked girls? Awesomely ridiculous."

Hurley laughed. "My name's Hurley, by the way."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Hannibal King," he said, smiling at Hurley. "Nice to meet you. I live down a floor but there's no strippers on the tv down there."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Well, obviously you came to the right floor," Hurley said.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Obviously," he agreed, wandering in. "New guy?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hurley said. "Just started this semester. It's.. taking some getting used to."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"But, strippers," Hannibal said, gesturing to the tv. He shook his head. "Why do you say that?"

Coming back upstairs after a little bit of exploring, Turtle noticed the TV on in her own common room and figured it wouldn't hurt to pop in and say hi.

And that was exactly what she did. Popped in, plopped on a chair, and brightly said, "Hi!"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Hurley said. "I... I'm Hurley."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Turtle Wexler!" she responded back, promptly and brightly. "Room 513; it's nice to meet you, Hurley. I take it you live on this floor, too?"

It was, of course, an assumption. Not to be rude or anything like that, but she didn't really know if she'd place Hurley as the type of person to bother with all the stairs unless he did, in fact, live up here.

"Yeah, 529," Hurley said. "I'm rooming with Tahiri? If you've met her, I mean."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"I haven't," Turtle admitted, with a sort of expression that suggested that she felt terrible about it. "But I shall have to! I do remember reporting her name on the radio, however. Have you learned about that yet? Radio? I've been broadcasting on it for a long time. You'll have to make sure to vote when it comes time to elect this semester's broadcasters!"

Never one to waste any time, that Turtle Wexler.

"Oh, speaking of voting, what class are you in, Hurley? I bet student council elections are coming up soon, and, as a new student, it'll be important to find a good candidate to represent you, don't you think?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I hadn't yet," Hurley said. "About the radio, I mean. Though a dude at the store in town said I should get one." Pause. "Oh, and I'm a junior."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Brilliant.

"A junior? That's my class, too!" Turtle put on her best smile with happily dancing eyes as she place a hand against her chest to put extra emphasis on her, her, her. "That's great that we're in a class together! And that's my store, too! I mean, well, not my store," here, she put in a light laugh. "I co-own it with G'Kar, but I've owned it for longer than he has. And if you were in today, then you were talking to Sokka, and he's one of my best employees. He's right, you know. A radio is an important thing to have around here, so you can keep up with all the important news every night!"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude," Hurley said, chuckling. "You're a better salesman than Sokka."

With the occasional random kitten running around, Bumblebee was walking slowly when he came into the common room, wing-doors and antennae perked high and arms raised up. "Watch out! Oooh, I said you better watch out!"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley stared, completely speechless.

Dude.

Robot.

[lil-yellow.livejournal.com]

Finding the room kitten-free after a cursory look, Bumblebee made a sound very much like a sigh as he sat down beside the couch. The staring caught his attention after a moment and he turned towards the boy and gave a little wave.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude," Hurley said, finally deciding it was best to say what was on his mind. "You're a robot."

[lil-yellow.livejournal.com]

"It's very nice of everyone to keep reminding me," he said with amusement. "I'm Bumblebee, specifically."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah," Hurley said. "Cool. Ummm, I'm Hurley. I'm... not a robot."

[lil-yellow.livejournal.com]

"I would say obviously not, but I understand that some times and worlds are capable of near-human mechs," he said, tilting his head slightly. "Are you one of the new students? I don't recognize you."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm new," Hurley said. "I'm also from, like, 14 years ago. Soooo not capable of people robots."
