Second floor common room, Wednesday night

[lovemykilt]

Priestly had finally called his mom back after cheerleading practice.

Yeah, that conversation hadn't gone well. Well, okay, it had, but only because Priestly lied out his ass. According to his mom, now, the school'd made him get a haircut, he was back to playing football, and her little plan to get her good little boy back on the straight and narrow was working.

So now he was sprawled on the couch, taking up as much room as humanly possible, Ramone flopped out on his head between the twin lines of his hairstyle of the day, flipping through channels at high speed while pondering what sort of bizarre and assuredly not "straight and narrow" dish to make himself for dinner.

"What do you think, Ramone? Maybe a fondue? People love fondue."

Priestly had no idea how to make a fondue.

"In my experience," Eric said, wandering in on a whim, "you only find fondue at parties with old, boring people, or university students who are trying to be hip and retro. Although maybe you can make them make a comeback?"

"Fondue?" asked Jen, wandering in when she overheard. "Don't ask me to make it. I'm lethal in the kitchen. Plus I've never had it."

Tonight was Darkest Night and so of course Firekeeper and Blind Seer showed up at the second floor common room.

Firekeeper frowned slightly when she saw Priestly flipping through the channels. That was just wrong. There was only one channel anyone should be watching tonight!

"You should be turning it to Darkest Night," she informed him, completely forgoing any sort of greeting.

"Dude, it's hot, melty cheese that you dip shit in. What's not to love?"

[lovemykilt]

"I was thinking I'd make it. But you're welcome to try if I manage it."

"I'd love to," Jen said, perking up. "I'm starting to feel like I haven't branched out nearly as much as I should have, food-wise."

[lovemykilt]

"Right, the vampire detective show you're addicted to. But what if I wanted to watch something else?"

[lovemykilt]

"An adventurous palate. Good to hear."

Eric shrugged. "Nothing, I guess," he said, with a bit of a smile. "I'm too used to the Upper East Side, I guess. Parties there need to be... of a certain caliber. You wouldn't find anyone our age planning a fondue, not if they wanted to be taken seriously socially."

It's possible that Eric's opinion of this is a little skewed. On the other hand, it is the Upper East Side.

Firekeeper's frown deepened, because why would anyone want to watch anything else? "If you was wolf, I would just fight you to prove my way was better," she said. "But, you is not wolf, so... you can choose what we is watching after?" she suggested. "Please?"

[lovemykilt]

"Dude, I wear torn jeans and joined cheerleading. Not exactly one who cares a whole lot about being 'taken seriously socially'." Cared a fair amount about not being taken seriously socially, in fact.

[lovemykilt]

"I got here first," Priestly said, a little petulantly. "I haven't decided what I wanna watch."

"Hey, I only had pizza and cookies for the first time two years ago," Jen told him. "There's a whole millennium's worth of food I haven't tried yet."

[notasuiciderisk.livejournal.com]

"Well, true." Eric laughed. "Social suicide on the UES, but then we're not on the UES. So. Fondue. Any idea how to make one? The school has everything else, we've probably got a fondue pot in here somewhere."

Francine didn't actually float downstairs when Darkest Night time rolled around, but her usual clompity was definitely lighthearted tonight. "Hiiiiii!"

[lovemykilt]

"Can't be that hard, right? Melt some cheese, make some dippy stuff. . . ."

Dinah headed down a floor to meet up with Tony, and maybe make some popcorn. Or whatever. "Hey, Priestly!" Someone she hadn't embarrassed herself with yesterday definitely got a cheerful greeting.

[lovemykilt]

"You'd never had pizza or cookies?" Yeah, he knew there were people from all over history, the future, the universe, and all the other universes, but still. That just blew his mind.

[lovemykilt]

"Fran!" Priestly liked to give people nicknames. "How's it going?"

[kestrelswolf.livejournal.com]

"Francine!" Firekeeper waved.

Tony returned from J, GoB with a strawberry cheesecake (he'd felt like having something sweet tonight) and found the common room already full of people. He gave a general wave to everyone.

"Jen, hi," Dinah said as she came in, smiling. "You survive yesterday with sanity intact?"

[lovemykilt]

"Dinah!" A girl who hadn't confessed her undying love -- or at least a crush -- yesterday. "How you doing?"

[lovemykilt]

"I'm totally about to get out-voted on choice of viewing options, aren't I," Priestly observed.

"A lot better than yesterday," Dinah admitted, rolling her eyes at the memory. "I hid in my room until late afternoon. Did you hear Radio last night? Do you think Emmett can be intimidated by anything, anywhere?"
