4th Floor Common Room [Friday, Early Evening]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

So, it turned out there was definitely a reason it was called Black Friday. Wow, people were crazy and vicious when they really wanted a good deal. Angela could've sworn it had never been that bad back home.

Earlier in the day she'd had every intention of going out tonight, then she realized how tiring just going shopping could be, and ended up just flopping on a pile of cushions on front of the television in the common room. She had large quantities of Chinese food, she had TV channels to flick through...

No, there would be no moving for her right now.

[[Open, of course.]]

"I think so," Angela agreed with a little grin. "If you want some it's pretty much pot luck what you end up with."

"Well, I do like to live dangerously," Chuck said, scooting off the armchair to join Angela on the floor. He was actually dressed comfortably today. Well...comfortably for Chuck. Meaning no suit.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"It's more interesting that way," she agreed, grinning as she lined up his options. Which was basically three take out boxes, but there was still a choice there.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Decisions, decisions..." Chuck mused. He eventually choose the box on the right.

"You enjoy your thanksgiving?" Angela asked, smiling at him and poking at her own tub of food with chopsticks.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck shrugged and grabbed a modded mwahahahaha set of chopsticks so he could eat. "My father is in Japan so I spent it here. No family drama and all the food so I guess it was pretty good. What about you?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Lots of food and the right people to spend it with, so..." Angela nodded cheerfully. "I call it a good holiday."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck smirked and took a bite off food. He nodded approvingly. "This is actually pretty good. Living dangerously pays off yet again."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"That'll be because all I had to do was order," Angela said with a laugh. "Usually can't go too far wrong with that."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Good point. I have seen ordering disasters before though," Chuck said. "Usually when someone orders something like Cantonese for the first time and have no idea what they're doing."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"The only Chinese I know is directly off the back of a take out menu," Angela shared. "Ironic, considering."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I won't hold it against you," Chuck said, smirking. "Mostly because I don't know any Chinese myself. Just Japanese. And whatever French I managed to retain from school. Which isn't much."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I know enough of French to get me by when I'm there," Angela said with a broad grin. It probably means she knows enough to hit on someone. "I don't think I really need to know much more."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Know all the dirty words, huh?" Chuck asked with a sly grin. "Me too."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Well, it is the fun way to learn a new language," Angela said with a laugh.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"It's really the only thing you need to learn anyway," he said, waving his hand dismissively. "English will do you just fine for everything else."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"That and a bit of charm, and you're pretty much set," she agreed brightly.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"And we've already established that we're both full of charm," Chuck said, smirking. "Have you ever been to France?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela nodded. "Paris," she replied. "About this time last year. My dad was there for a one off show and took me along."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Your dad in the entertainment business?" he asked.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Music," Angela replied. "So yes, it comes under that heading."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck nodded, looking impressed. "That beats real estate on career day, that's for sure."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"It has a certain level of cool," Angela allowed with a little smirk. "But it does get old after a while."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I'd imagine so," Chuck said, taking another bite of food. "Still, it's a good talking point if you're stuck with boring people at parties."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Please, like conversations with me are ever boring," Angela told him with a broad smirk.
