Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Lazy was taking a new form of extreme when John decided to just chill in the common room after making a fresh pot of strong coffee.

Sure he was completely capable of walking all the way back down the hall and collapsing on his own sofa but that would take effort he wasn't willing to put out right then when he was already collapsed and close to making out with his coffee mug.

Besides, he might need more coffee and then where would he be? Far from the coffee, exactly.

[I am bored. BORED.]

Buffy was either on the hunt for people or junk food, whichever made itself available first, which was how she ended up two floors above her own. "Hangover?" she guessed when she saw John.

"Only if hangovers extend to dancing," John replied. "But the need for coffee is strong. You?"

"I smell coffee," Aravis said, after trekking up the stairs in search of it. Her head hurt too much to try to make tea.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Then your nose is working," John informed her. "Had it been broken long?"

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

"Noooo," she said, shaking her head, not sure how to even go about touching the dancing thing. "Well, the coffee's good, but I'm happy and hangover-free. Also, no food poisoning. So we're clear."

Hurley wandered into his own common room.

"Coffee? This late?"

He could smell it, after all.

"Hey Aravis," Hurley said with a wave. "Happy New Year."

Hurley waved to Buffy. "Happy New Year," he greeted.

"Did I miss a food poisoning threat somewhere?" John wondered. "Should we all avoid Outback for a few weeks?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Blasphemy! It's never too late for coffee," John chided his neighbor.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley chuckled. "I'm just sayin', dude. Last night was the one for staying up super late."

"There was sushi out for a while last night.... Never mind," she said, shaking her head. "Good new year so far? Besides the coffee jones?"

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

"Happy New Year," she grinned. "How's it going?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'm liking it better already. Were you happy to leave last year in the dust last night?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, I apologize in advance if I keep you up making a racket from across the hall," John said, sounding apologetic.

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

"Hm, how to answer that without sounding crazy. 2008 wasn't too bad for me, but 1998 could suck it, so yes and no," she said thoughtfully.

"Pretty good," Hurley said. "You go on the Endor trip?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley laughed. "Hey, I'm a pretty sound sleeper. You mess with Tahiri, though, I don't know what'll happen."

Aravis made a face at him. "Shhhh, I've a headache. I believe you're permitted to state the obvious when you feel as ill as I do."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

"And to you," Aravis said with a small smile. "How are you today, Hurley?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Ah, that does sound sorta crazy," John admitted. "But it's Fandom, so I think I can skip calling the infirmary."

[iruinenglish.livejournal.com]

Buffy frowned. "Bo. Where's that, South America?"

She may have mixed it up with Ecuador.

"Yeah, it makes me happy that at least the lightsabers are in lockup," John grinned.

"No, uhhh, it was this other planet thing," Hurley said. "Bunch of us went to build a village for these aliens that were kinda like big teddy bears."

"Too much to drink?" John whispered. "We could get you some champagne to fulfill that hair of the dog that bit you thing."
