Fourth Floor Common Room - Sunday Afternoon

Emmett had spent most of the night exploring the dorms and enjoying being able to walk around without the smell of humans being too overpowering. He was thinking about going into town but decided to pace himself when it came to exploring. If he saw everything too fast then he got bored and when he got bored he tended to make houses out of cardboard and play "General Sherman is burnin' everything" in the yard with Jasper (well, Emmett played. Jasper glared). He had the feeling burning the dorms down by accident would be frowned upon. So around 5 am he staked out a place in the common room and started to watch TV.

Now there was football on! Emmett had his ass on the couch, a football in his hand and was watching the Dolphins playing the Ravens. Then the Eagles were playing the Vikings at 4:30. God, he loved Sundays. He was tossing the football quickly between his two hands but making sure it was at a human's pace just in case anyone came in.

[Open, yes. I hope Miami wins...I think I jinxed them omg]

"Maybe glitter will be frightened of you too," Ned said thoughtfully.

"I have a good working relationship with sparkly things," Emmett replied. "Why? The glitter here poisonous?"

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't think so," Ned said carefully. "There are just...rumors."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Emmett scooted forward on the couch, clearly intrigued. "Rumors of what?"

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh, are you sure you want to know?"

Because he was a guy.

And a huge one at that.

"Well now I've got to know," Emmett said. It was all built up now.

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, there's a rumor that, if you get hit by glitter on this island, it'll make you kiss boys," Ned said.

There was a good five seconds where Emmett just stared at Ned with a confused look on his face.

"You're kidding me."

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just rumors but yeah," Ned said and shook his head. "I mean, it's never happened to me but I've heard it's happened."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"So stay away from the glitter, check," Emmett said with a nod. "I don't know why someone would throw glitter on me but I'll be on alert now."

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, people don't usually go around throwing glitter but glitter seems to be prevalent around here," Ned said. "It's just one of those things to look out for. And maybe it is just a rumor. Maybe glitter will just make you twinkle."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Twinkling's not so bad," Emmett said, knowing from experience. "Still, I'd rather avoid it all the same."

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"You and me both," Ned laughed. "I don't mind twinkling. I know someone who likes shiny things a lot."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Who doesn't like shiny things?" Emmett joked. "Is there any other inanimate objects I should be worried about?"

"Well, some mistletoe came to life sort of a few weeks," Ned said. "And was really pushy when people got under it."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mistletoe that forces people to make out," Emmett mused. "I don't really see a problem with that."

Other than Rosalie beating the hell out of him for kissing someone else afterward.

"No, no, it wasn't bad," Ned agreed. "Just the fact that it was alive was the weird part."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, yeah," he allowed with a nod of his head. "Nice to know every weird thing isn't all bad though."

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh no, not at all," he said. "It's rained down chocolate a few times too."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's pretty cool," he said hesitantly. Yes, Emmett, chocolate was cool. "Nothing like getting free food."

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"That happens a lot around here," Ned said. "The food, not the chocolate. People are almost always cooking in these common rooms."

Ned, personally, thought Emmett didn't need to eat much more lest he grow into a GIANT.

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Considering that Emmett felt like he was living in a free buffet, he fully believed Ned when he said there was a lot of free food around.

"That's nice of everyone," he said. "I can't really cook. Well. I've never tried so I'm guessing I can't."

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Everyone can cook," Ned said immediately. "When people can't say they can't cook, it just means they haven't tried, exactly. All you'd need was working equipment, a recipe and materials."

[identity profile] mauledbyabear.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"I take it you like to cook?" Emmett guessed.

[identity profile] death-and-pies.livejournal.com 2009-01-04 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe a little," Ned admitted. "Did I make it obvious?"
