Third Floor Common Room [Tuesday night]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie, so far, had had very good luck with not sharing her various secrets with the world.

Clearly that had to change.

Since she wasn't particularly concerned about the honesty issues, she was curled up on the couch in the common room, watching TV and writing a letter home. She wasn't paying much attention to either, but it seemed a pleasant enough way to spend an evening.

Ha. Oh, dramatic irony.

It was likely a stupid move, going to see what was happening in the common room, but there were only so many letters home Adora could write that were brutally honest about everything happening in Fandom.

"Sookie! Please tell me whatever on the television isn't going to cause anyone to blush or whimper!" Oh, completely stupid move.

"What's on television tonight? I keep wanting to call it a vid screen," Zayne said, walking into the common room. He wasn't sure why he said that part.

"Not that I know of. Hi, Adora!" Sookie said happily. "How are you? Your hair looks really shiny today."

She hadn't meant to say that, but at least it was nice.

"What's a vid screen?" she wondered. "Is it a drug thing?"

Sookie would not have asked that if not for today.

And Claudia's influence.

"It's what we call screens like that back home. And why do people keep talking to me about drugs?" Zayne asked.

"Claudia said you're on them," she said. "I don't believe that but she was real worried about it."

"Thanks, Sookie. I use this really great thing called conditioner but it says it's supposed to be Bed Head even though I would swear it looks nothing like when I wake up in the morning," Adora rambled, smiling lightly in apology. "That was over sharing."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"She's very strange," Zayne said, looking horrified that he actually said that. "She's also completely wrong, so thanks for your faith in me."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"It's all right. I'd probably still hear it even if you didn't actually say anything," Sookie replied easily, then looked alarmed.

"I think she's coming around. I told her I'm telepathic and she was fine and I never tell people that except I just said it now," she said, blushing.

Claire emerged from her room to find dinner in the common room. "Hi, Sucky, are you really watching that?" she asked.

That ... would not have been far off from her normal greeting.

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"How would that even work?" Adora shook her head, no one could hear what she was thinking.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I'm telepathic and I can hear what you're thinking. Like right now, when you thought no one could hear what you were thinking," Sookie informed her, covering her eyes with her hands.

"Not really. I'm writing a letter to my best friend, except I accidentally just called her a loud-mouthed bitch in it, and I didn't mean to do that at all." Sookie frowned deeply at her page.

"I didn't expect you to start telling people," Zayne said. "Why did you start now?"

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Adora," Zayne said. "I haven't talked to you in way too long. I need to get out of my room more often."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"People here are strange and I'm not the only one," she said with a little shrug. "I've told a few people but normally I don't just blurt it out in conversation like that."

"I sent my brother an email going on for like 200 words about what a condom was since he seems to have forgotten," Claire said. "And then called him a fucking moron. I meant it, but ... not quite that strongly?"

Brooke was bored, so she came up from her room in search of people. "I'm bored and need more friends I don't sleep with," Brooke said, and stopped. That last part was not so much planned.

"Vid screen sounds like retro sci fi," Claire observed. "Zayne, right?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Hi Brooke." Sookie didn't even have to mentally scan to figure out which one it was. "You can sit in here and stuff, because I promise I'll never sleep with you."

Which was true but she probably could have phrased it differently.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I don't even swear," Sookie said, confused. "Except when I'm really mad because people can be such assholes."

...

"And now, apparently."

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"You do! I've missed seeing you around. Did Claudia's clothing cause you to go blind and lapse into a coma?" Adora winced, not meaning to be so harsh about her friends.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"So you haven't even been leading up to it first?" Zayne asked. "That's bold."

[fabulous-secret.livejournal.com]

"Oh my!" Adora gasped. "Then you can hear when I think about transforming into," Don't say it, don't say it! "She-Ra? Oh no, I said it!"
