3rd Floor Common Room, Monday Afternoon

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

Viki was sprawled out on her stomach, on the ground with a pillow serving to add comfort, the illusion box was turned on and prattling about music, while she idly flipped through a bunch of magazines, absently doodling extra mustaches on some of the celebrities. It wasn’t that she was bored, oh no, she was just deviating from her routine. Normally she’d be at the beach, just wandering, and well, she’d wanted a change.

This was a nice and easy one. Nevermind that it wasn't her common room, that was part of the change.

And eating cookies straight from the box. As you do. She certainly did after all.

[Open, of course!]

There was a lizard-thing wandering through the common room, a lizard-thing that couldn't count stairs and thought it was the second floor.

Jack saw Viki and head-nodded a "hello".

...

Viki glanced over, rather dubiously. "A student?" she guessed.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

He nodded, and grumpily sat down, curling his tail around himself. He quirked his head at the magazines.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"They were boring," she explained, holding up one though she didn't know if lizard-things would even be able to see it. "So I decided I ought to add to them."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

He laughed at the mustaches. They needed glasses, too. And evil goatees. He'd do it himself if there were an extra pen.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

There were several extra pens laying about though she didn't know if a lizard could even hold one, and would not have thought of it.

"Just so," she said mildly, unfazed by talking to an animal. "They look much more interesting now."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack scrabbled over to an extra pen, and took great care to place enormous glasses on some young starlet, and an eyepatch on her date. He took a few steps back, cocked his head, and added a Dramatic Birthmark as well.

She simply watched, mildly amused, and went back to another magazine with a comment of: "Creative, one supposes."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

If Jack were a dog, his tail would be wagging. As he was not...his...well, his tail was still wagging. He nodded at Viki and looked around, trying to figure out if this was his floor.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Are you hungry?" she guessed, judging from the looking around. "Would you care for a cookie?"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

...make it back to the room, see if Robin had anything to eat, and--

Cookie? Forget going back to the room. He nodded, walking closer to the cookie. He didn't want to be rude and just walk over, doodle in magazines, and start eating someone's cookies. He was raised better than that.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

She snagged one of the cookies from her box of them, set it on a napkin, and placed it a few feet from her.

"For you," Viki offered.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Thank you!" Jack said, in Lizard, scooting forward a bit to nom that om.

He was licking the cookie crumbs off his lips when suddenly...he looked a lot more like Jack Burton. Luckily, he was still wearing his pajamas.

"Thanks for the cookie?" he stated. Questioned. ...He hated this island so much.

Hurley poked his head into the common room, half wondering if he'd spot Penelope.

"Oh, hey Viki," he said.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Hurley," she said, grinning up at him from her spot on the floor. "How are you?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I'm doing good," Hurley said. He entered the room properly and went to sit down cross-legged next to her. "You?"

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Avoiding routine," she said airily. "And it seems to be going well enough. I had the company of a lizard earlier, and he seemed to like cookies."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Dude, who doesn't like cookies?" Hurley said. "Cookies are awesome."

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Would you care for some?" she asked, pushing the box in his direction. "They're chocolate chip."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Hurley said, snagging a couple. "You know, I always thought they needed a mustache." He nodded at the magazines.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"They're much more interesting with them, don't you think?" she asked, with a bit of a laugh. "At the very least, this way, there is more to laugh about than simply what some of them appear to consider fashion."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Most of them could use a few cookies, too," Hurley commented.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

That got a laugh.

"I don't think you can feed a magazine though," she noted, eyes dancing. "Though here, perhaps, it might be worth it to try."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley took one of the cookies in his hand and tentatively reached over and tapped it against the lips of the woman in the magazine.

"Shucks, didn't work," he said with a grin.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Or possibly they're like the story of the dolls that come alive only when no one is watching," she mused, giggling. "And we ought to leave cookies out for them to try."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Like you do for Santa," Hurley said. "Man, that would be kinda... weird and awesome."

[ooc: ack, stepping afk for awhile. will be back, sorry!]

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"And rather disturbing," she added, considering, "depending on what they got up to when no eyes were on them."

[NP!]

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hurley said. He nibbled absentmindedly on the cookie he'd just attempted to feed to the magazine. "Let's just hope they stay normal."
