Second Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

Molly had no idea what she was doing up this early, but decided to celebrate by wandering into the common room to get a bowl of cereal and glass of juice before she figured out what to do with the rest of her weekend.

Maybe she'd catch up on her Thaumaturgy, since she'd missed Thursday. Or maybe she wouldn't.

She turned the television on and began to surf lazily, right up until the remote stopped working and she got stuck watching some kind of CID marathon, because obviously she wasn't getting up off the couch to change the channel.

[ooc: Open like a common room. And this was always on the right floor, for realz.]

Malcolm wandered in, head tilted back and mouth open as he studied the hallway and the common room in very apparent wonder.

"Woooooooooooooow," he said. "They remodeled the school overnight!"

Molly glanced over, then frowned. She didn't know the guy, but he did look kind of familiar. This was going to bug her all day. "No, they didn't."

[lovemykilt]

"Then why does it look all different?" Malcolm wondered.

"Maybe you're on the wrong floor? Where do you usually live?"

[lovemykilt]

"In the dorms, of course. With Jake! But I did wake up in a girl's room. Gosh, I hope I didn't do anything!"

"Aha!" The Count declared as he entered a room different than the others. "More things to count!"

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Knock yourself out," Molly offered, waving a hand around the room. She didn't know what was going on, but her weird-o-meter was finally going off.

"One, one teenager." He started with the kids in the room.

Black Canary was heading toward the lobby of the dormitory she'd found herself in, hopefully to find a phone and information on where she was. On her way down the stairwell she heard voices, and paused, considering, then went into the Second Floor Common Room.

Teenagers; so at least the information from the operator about this being a boarding school seemed consistent.

She nodded to the students in the room. "Good morning. Could you tell me who is in charge of this dormitory?"

[grasshopper-mol.livejournal.com]

"Uh, hi," Molly answered, then tried to think of the answer. "Um. Either Principal Washburn or Dean Deadpool?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Black Canary blinked at that last name, but decided its weirdness might not have any significance, and nodded. "Thank you. I'm Black Canary, I'm with the Justice League. Have you noticed anything strange here at your school in the last 24 hours? Explosions, light shows, earthquakes, portals, anything that could be taken as strange natural phenomenon?"

No reason to panic the girl, but if she'd witnessed anything, it'd be better to know before searching out the Principal or Dean.

Weird name. "Nope. Do you ask this every time you enter a room, or are you just taking a survey?"

Black Canary's lips twitched, and she said dryly, "Somehow I ended up here in Maryland when I woke up this morning, when I'm supposed to be on an orbiting satellite. I suspect magic is at work but I'd like to confirm it as soon as possible. It's probably nothing to worry about," or at least, not an immediate danger, although the repercussions were worrying, "but I'd like to get it cleared up as soon as possible."

He really was in the girls' dorm. That explained it. He'd never been there before, just outside when he walked girls home from dates.

"Hi! I don't know who runs this dorm."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Black Canary nodded to the boy, wondering how long he'd been a student, then said, "Have you noticed anything ... strange here, in the last 24 hours? Or in the town?"

[lovemykilt]

"They remodeled the dorms!" Never mind that Molly had just told him that wasn't true. That was Malcolm's story and he was sticking to it.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Interesting." Black Canary considered him, and asked, "Remodeled them in what way? Are they larger, smaller...?"

The Count began to count the bowls in the cabinet.

"20! 20 bowls! Hahahahaha!" Was that thunder?

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Black Canary assumed a defensive stance, and sharply said, "Who are you?"

Then blinked. Whoever he was, he was... small.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Ah Greetings! I am, The Count. They call me The Count because I love to count...things."

Marco had woken up in a strange room with a lot of strange things and his clothes. Who wouldn't blame the boy for being a bit jittery? "Um...hi?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Black Canary nodded, giving him a careful look. "Are you a student here?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco was a bit mesmerized by the outfit. "Yes?" He figured it was the safe answer. "No?" Unless it wasn't. "Um..."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Are you unsure?" she asked, keeping her tone kind. "There's been a rash of appearances and disappearances, apparently. I'm Black Canary, with the Justice League."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco's brain short circuited. "Wha? I uh..." He cleared his throat and tried again. "I'm Marco, where are you? Er...we?"
