4th Floor Common Room [Sunday, Around Midday]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela had been up late watching movies last night, so she was up late today. Most teenagers would agree that mornings were not meant for being awake for anyway. Especially not when it was a Sunday.

Eventually she made it to the common room. And now? She was dancing to whatever was playing on MTV and cooking breakfast.

Uh. Sort of. if you could call toasting ready-made waffles 'cooking'. Angela did.

[[Ooooopen, obviously.]]

"Oh, wow, morning," Lois said, feeling kind of bad she couldn't muster up the same perkiness. She didn't wake up until...3ish. "Thank god for this floor. I thought I'd have to drink this black and, ew, that would suck."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I so knew we were better than all the rest," Angela said, searching out that cream for her. She had time to kill while she waited for things to toast. "What floor are you on normally?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Fifth," Lois said, pointing up. "The one that seems to be lacking coffee accessories this morning. I guess I should be lucky I found a mug up there. I could be drinking coffee out of a bowl or something."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Well, it would be very European of you," Angela remarked, offering the cream. "Some people would be into that."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I don't think have the coordination to drink out of a bowl this early on a Sunday. Thanks," Lois said, accepting the cream gratefully. "Oh, sorry, I'm Lois."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Angela," she introduced in return. "You did radio for a while, right?" she was sure she recognised that voice.

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Yep, I'm indeed that Lois," she said, smiling as she poured a good amount of cream into her coffee. "Not that I think there's another Lois around here. You'd think I would have picked up on something like that."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"You're the first one I've run into," Angela confirmed helpfully. "So, I'm going to go with that being the case."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good. My observational skills are still in tact," Lois said before taking a deep drink of her coffee. "God, I needed that."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Busy night?" Angela asked with a little amusement.

"The opposite. Valentine's Day and I was alone so I figured I'd try to see if beer and candy tasted good together," Lois said. She paused. "The chocolate was a mistake but the Skittles weren't half bad."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate and Chinese food," Angela said, gesturing at herself with a little grin. "Great V-day companions."

"And I recommend Skittles and vodka. That makes one great combo."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, that does sound good. I might have to try that," Lois said, not that she needed much reason to drink these days. "Wow, if I had known you before today we could have gotten together and had a weird food and drink combination soiree or something last night."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure we can find other occasions to bust out the beer and Skittle vodka," Angela assured her. "Who says that's just for Valentine's day?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Seriously! Beer and Skittle vodka is for all occasions, just like chocolate and Chinese food," Lois said.

"For all the days that end in 'y'," she confirmed as she picked a waffle out of the toaster with a fork and her fingers. "We should work on that sometime."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Definitely. I'm always looking to hang out with people with the same adventurous taste as me," Lois said, hoping that Angela didn't electrocute herself when she stuck the fork in the toaster.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

No electrocution here! She'd probably done a similar move enough times to be pretty well skilled at avoiding that.

"Excellent," Angela grinned, rubbing her hands together a moment. It went with the plotting. Obviously. "You want a waffle to go with your caffeine?" she offered.

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"Oh, sure, thanks," Lois said with a smile. "I always end up burning waffles whenever I try to make them. Well. Either them or myself. Sucks either way."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, me too," Angela admitted, putting the second one on another plate for her. "Which is why I stick firmly to the pre-made toaster variety."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I think even the toastery ones might suffer disaster at my hands," Lois told her. "I have the worst luck with that sort of thing."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I have a short attention span when it comes to this sort of stuff," Angela admitted. "Easily distracted by more interesting things."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

Lois chuckled. "Yeah, that's pretty much where I go wrong too. Too many shiny things around to distract me."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Microwaves and toasters," Angela said knowledgeably. "Things with timers are key."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I think the world needs to get on creating more microwaveable food," Lois said, taking a bite of her waffle. "Or at least make the microwaveable bacon taste better."
