Fifth floor common room, Wednesday evening

The last week or so had been considerably less than fun for Seregil. At first he thought someone might have cursed him, but he finally came to the conclusion he just had come down with a incredibly terrible case of the flu. He was finally on the mend though and felt strong enough to venture out of his bed.

So here he was relaxing on the sofa watching that show of Tyra's, just glad to be somewhere other than his room.

Tony had a craving for Kinder Bueno candy bars and hadn't been able to find anything similar in town. He decided to check the other common rooms for something hazelnutty, which was why he was on the fifth floor.

"Hey." Tony waved at Seregil on his way to the kitchen cabinets.

"Hello," Seregil replied, looking up from the tv.

"How's it going?" Tony asked. "Didn't see you at rehearsal this week." He found hazelnut creamer in the fridge and Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs in the cabinet and decided that was the best chocolate/hazelnut combo he was likely to find today. He checked the cabinet for cereal bowls.

"I was busy dying," Seregil replied.

Tony glanced over at Seregil in concern, but he seemed all right now. "What happened?" he asked.

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I was laid low by the plague," Seregil explained.

Tony winced. "Oh, man, that sucks." He gestured at the couch. "Okay if I join you?"

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Seregil gestured grandly. "Of course. I don't think I'm contagious anymore."
wantstodirect: (Relaxed in pink)

"Good," Tony said. "I really don't want to get sick." He settled on the couch with his chocolate/hazelnut cereal concoction and took a bite. Not bad. "What are you watching?" Tony gestured at the TV, which was on a commercial at the moment.

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Tyra," Seregil said. "It was one of the first shows I came upon when I first came here and discovered television." He smiled. "I have since learned it's not actually a competition for this land's Street of Lights."
wantstodirect: (Hiding smile)

Tony nearly choked on a mouthful of cereal. "No, not quite," he said. He supressed a snicker and gulped the food down. "Do people do that where you come from? Have that kind of competition, I mean?"

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Not anything so... official." Seregil chuckled. "It would certainly be a spectacle if there was."

[personal profile] wantstodirect 2008-10-23 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Unofficially?" Tony asked, curious.

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"There is always competitive spirit between various Houses," Seregil said. "Who gets the most patrons, or sometimes an attempt is made to woo a particularly alluring professional from one House to another."

"I guess it's like any other business, in a way," Tony said.

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
"It is," Seregil agreed. "And much better run than a lot of them."
wantstodirect: (Not happy)

[personal profile] wantstodirect 2008-10-23 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"If there's a product to sell, someone's making money off it," Tony said. He wasn't bitter.

Okay, maybe a little. He gulped down another spoonful of cereal.

"The dark side of human nature," Seregil said. "The trick is to be aware of it and then figure out how you can work the system to your advantage."

"Yeah, well," Tony gesture at the TV with his cereal spoon, spattering a few drops of hazelnut creamer. "That's what reality TV is all about. Taking advantage." He mopped up the creamer drops with his sleeve.

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
"You don't approve of it?"
wantstodirect: (Leaning on fence)

[personal profile] wantstodirect 2008-10-23 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
"They use 'real' people so they don't have to pay actors, pay their staff and crew the bare minimum and won't let the unions on their set," Tony said. "It's not about approval. I just think the people who run these shows are assholes."

Helen wandered in feeling terribly bored, but brightened when she saw Seregil. "Hello."

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Hello," Seregil, looking up and smiling.

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
"How are you?" she asked. "I haven't seen you in a while."

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
"That's because I've been busy dying," Seregil told her.

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Her eyes went wide. "Dying?"

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Not literally," he was quick to assure her. "Though it certainly felt like that at the time."

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, you were quite sick, then," she said, looking relieved. "I wish I'd known, I might have been able to help."

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Are you a healer?" Seregil asked curiously.

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Not really," she said, looking a bit embarrassed. "I am a cleric and a magic user, but I don't really have much skill in that area. I do have great skill in making things like chicken soup, though."

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Seregil smiled. "Most of the time I was ill, that would have just gone to waste. But if you want to make me some now that I'm on the mend..."

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"You'd like some?" she asked. "I'd be glad to if you'd really like."

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"I do need to build my strength back up."

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
She nodded and smiled, pleased that he would let her do that. "In that case I would be glad to. Is chicken soup all right or is there some other food you would prefer?"

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Chicken soup sounds about the right speed for me right now," Seregil said. "I'm not about to try to run before I walk."

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
She nodded. "I can do that. Is tomorrow night soon enough? I work during the day."

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Tomorrow would be lovely," Seregil declared.

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Tomorrow night then," she said with another smile. "Shall I bring it to you?"

[identity profile] therhimineecat.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Seregil smiled. "In my weakened state, it would be appreciated."

[identity profile] elephantgadget.livejournal.com 2008-10-23 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
She laughed. "Very well then. And where shall I deliver it to?"
