5th Floor CR, Tuesday Night

[withoutverona]

Romeo ventured into the common room late Tuesday evening, drawn by a desperate need to get Halloween candy early. He found a bag of miniature Snickers and settled in on the couch, fortified with chocolates and a showing of Absolutely, Perhaps that he was pretending was drawing him in less than it did.

He was rooting for the brunette.

Eve was still playing the "let's think about things" game and had come to the conclusion that it couldn't hurt to sit in the common room and see who came in.

Okay, so she wandered up to her old common room, but still. Socializing!

"Hey," she greeted as she plopped herself down in a chair.

"Good evening, Eve," Romeo returned with a nod of greeting. "I have candy, if you want."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, candy." She held a hand out. "Gimme."

[withoutverona]

He passed her a good fistful of Snickers. "I know it's not Halloween yet, but I didn't see any point in waiting."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"It's close enough," Eve said, careful not to let the little Snickers fall. She set them in her lap and unwrapped one. "And this place is weird enough that it should count no matter what time of year."

[withoutverona]

"You have a point," Romeo agreed. "Though at least the island spared our guests last weekend any plagues of rampaging gerbils, or the like."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Eve said with a nod. "Because if it had dumped the usual weird on us, I could easily some of the parents pulling their darlings out of here."

"Hey," Dick said as he walked into the room. Then he saw the bag. "Trick or treat?"

[withoutverona]

"Good evening," Romeo said. "Treat for me, trick for you if I don't share."

Which he was going to do. Probably.

"Come on, please?" Dick asked. "I'll be your friend."

[withoutverona]

"You wouldn't be much of a friend, if I had to pay you off," Romeo pointed out.

[laidanegg.livejournal.com]

"But the payoffs are cheap," Dick countered. "Cheap payments can make for great friends."

[withoutverona]

"And I can't eat the bag by myself, anyhow," Romeo admitted He passed the bag over. "If you're ever mean to me, I'll demand restitution."

Buffy had decided that patrolling here was more like "a brisk walk around the island" and therefore cut it short. Which was why she was back in the dorms looking for entertainment. "So what are we watching?" she asked, taking a seat.

[withoutverona]

"Movie," Romeo said. "The man is getting a divorce and he's telling his daughter the story of the great loves of his life." A beat. "I couldn't find anything else worth watching."

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

"That sounds... really kind of depressing," she considered. "The chocolate might be a good companion comfort food."

[withoutverona]

Romeo passed her some candy. "It's not, mostly," he said, considering. "Sad for the little girl, I suppose, but the people are all interesting and no one's too horribly stupid."

"I'm Romeo, by the way. I think you're in my Hunting class."

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

"Oh, thanks," she said, taking the candy and loving Halloween. "Yeah, I thought I recognized you. I'm Buffy. ...Also from Hunting class, yes."

[withoutverona]

"Interesting class," Romeo commented. "I'm pleased that I remembered rightly, it would have been embarrassing not to."

"What is this about?" Aravis asked, wandering into a common room that actually had some people in it.

[withoutverona]

"A man who's telling his daughter far too much about his love life," Romeo answered. "But we have chocolate."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Ew. But chocolate can make me forgive such things," she decided, coming in to sit down with a grin.

[withoutverona]

Romeo handed her the chocolate and the remote. "You can see if you can find anything better, if you'd like," he said. "Though chocolate makes up for many things."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate, in my humble and fairly new opinion," she told him as she took some but let the remote be, "can make up for everything."

[withoutverona]

Romeo flashed a grin at her. She was a pretty girl; he'd agree with her about almost anything. "Anything on the scale of a bad movie, at least," he said. "But new? Why were you deprived of such?"
