Third Floor Common Room [evening]

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

Kaylee honestly didn't understand this whole Thanksgiving thing beyond 'there'll be lots of food.' It was fairly archaic in her time, after all, and it wasn't like she'd been formally educated in history.

She was trying to do some research, as best she could, but rather than do something intelligent like either asking someone who might know something more about the holiday or, you know, cracking a book, she'd found something on television.

She didn't know how something could be semi-homemade, and why that woman was so...terrifying, but for some reason, she couldn't look away. Well, mostly. She could look down at her lap to check that Popples wasn't getting ready to run away or anything, since she'd figured this was as good an opportunity as any to get her new pet out to visit places other than her room.

[I've been meaning to do this post for like three days, dude. open!]

A very confused and despondent Cal shuffled into the wrong common room and blinked at that TV.

"It's not on in this one, is it?" he asked.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"What isn't?" she asked curiously, blinking up at him. "D'you know what a tablescape is?"

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Rumor Gal," Cal answered. "I tried to watch it upstairs, but some other, stupider show was one."

One that only managed to hold his interest when that chick who kind of looked like Jaina with a scarier voice was on, which wasn't enough. He frowned at the cooking show on the TV; after what happened earlier, he was depending so hard on being able to just plug into mindless Rumor Gal and not think about it.

"And no, I don't. Do you?"

Chuck came in with Sweetie chillin' on his shoulder. He needed ice for his scotch.

"Hey Kaylee," Chuck said. "You're not watching Rumor Gal, are you?"

He hated that show.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Why's everyone askin' that? No, I'm watchin' some scary lady who's makin' special Thanksgivaling drinks," she admitted, glancing over.

And then she saw Sweetie.

"...you have a monkey!"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck smirked. "Yeah, I have a monkey. You have a...thing."

No, he didn't know what Popples was.

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Dude," Cal said, glancing at Chuck and gesturing toward his shoulder, "you've got a..." More gesturing.

He was just wondering if Chuck realized it.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I'm aware," Chuck replied. What was with people here and thinking he wouldn't notice a monkey on his shoulder?

Lion-o was only running to the common room to get something from the fridge, but he stopped dead in his tracks when he noticed what was on the television. "Why is that woman talking funny?" he asked.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Because somethin's wrong with her," Kaylee guessed. "I don't got no idea what, but she's kinda scary."

[lordofthecats.livejournal.com]

"Why is she so scary? She seems pretty annoying, but not scary," said Lion-o.

Firekeeper was bored and it was getting too cold for a furless wolf like herself to really enjoy running in the forests outside, and so she and Blind Seer wandered in to the common room.

There was a smile and a friendly nod for Kaylee- from Firekeeper at least. Blind Seer just leapt up onto the couch and curled up.

"What is?" she asked, tilting her head curiously at the television.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Scary lady," Kaylee said simply, nodding to the TV. "She's cookin' but she's bein' real scary about it.

She tried not to wince when Popples quilled her, because, you know, wolf.

[weetuskenraider]

"Hey, Firekeeper," Tahiri said, sparing a wave for Blind Seer. "Do you think that lady's freaky too?"

[weetuskenraider]

"Wow," Tahiri remarked as she wandered in. "I don't know what it is, but she's kind of freaky."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"Ain't she just?" Kaylee asked in horrified agreement. "I'm kinda scared she's gonna catch her hair on fire."

[momslilassassin]

"Think she needs to be smote?" Ben asked. "'Cause I can do that."

[solo_sword]

"You see what you've been missing back home?" Jaina asked, gesturing at the TV.

[momslilassassin]

Ben walked into the common, stopped and stared. "Is she evil?"

Because he was pretty sure she was, yes.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I ain't sure yet," Kaylee said, completely honestly. "Ben, come meet Popples!"

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

Firekeeper nodded at the unfamiliar boy.

And, after a moment's consideration, followed that up with a "Hello,"

She was still kind of learning this whole 'manners' thing.

[solo_sword]

Jaina was still playing catchup with work the night before leaving to go back there, and she'd actually had one of those moments where if she didn't get out of her room she was going to have to go crazy or something. If anyone asked, she was just getting water from the kitchen.

Also, frowning at the TV. "I don't get cooking in front of a camera."

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

"I don't get cookin' that in front of a camera," Kaylee replied. "She just used four kinds of sugar!"

[momslilassassin]

"You mean you don't watch reruns of that weird Wookiee cooking show?" Ben teased.

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

"Is bad thing?" Firekeeper asked, having only the vaguest idea of what a camera was. And none as to why cooking in front of one would be bad.
