5th Floor Common Room, Tuesday Night

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

Claire was in one of her once-a-semester random domestic moods, and tonight that meant cookies.

Okay, so they were from the refrigerated dough -- half chocolate chip, half the red heart-shaped ones that she'd bought the day after Valentine's Day -- and she was eating half the dough without baking it. She was making a lot of cookies, she was totally allowed to.

The TV was tuned to some miraculous MTV offshoot that was actually showing videos Claire didn't hate, and if people didn't come in to eat the cookies, she'd ... probably eat them herself and get really, really fat.

[OOC: Open CR, yep! Om nom nom cookies.]

"Uh, no," Claire said, because she wasn't dumb even if Cal was her boyfriend. "That's a good way to get every disease known to man."

They had hygiene in the '70s, right?

"I think," Turtle said, "every disease known to man is a little much, but it is still definitely gross. Not to mention rude."

"You probably can't get cancer that way," Claire conceded. "Gross, anyhow." And now she was going to have to ask Cal for his side of it; he'd mentioned it but it had been a while ago.

She shuffled her feet a little awkwardly; it wasn't hers to apologize for, but she also wasn't sure where else to take the conversation. "Good weekend?" she finally tried.

At least Claire could ackowledge the fact that her boyfriend was gross. Turtle nodded.

"Yeah, the Valentine's Day dance and the flowers turned out to be a really good success for Student Council. And nothing weird happened!"

"I know, it was like this nice little oasis of normal high school stuff," Claire said, and if she sounded a little indecently happy for it to just be normal high school stuff she was thinking of, so be it. "And next week there's that cruise, and that can't be too weird, right?"

Ah, Claire. Wishful thinking.

"Last time we went to Mexico," Turtle said, easily gaining a grin as she remembered all that sun. "It was niiiiiice."

Claire made a little whimpering noise. "I'm from L.A.," she said. "I've been to Mexico. It's all warm."

Yes, the cruise would be too. Just ... different warmth!

"I almost wish I was here last year."

"The cruise will still be pretty awesome," Turtle assured her with confidence. "Were you here at all during the summer? With all the moving around?"

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

"Nope, I got here in September," Claire said. "Everybody says summer was a lot weirder, with the whole 'hi, the island moves' thing."

Turtle's head bobbed in a nod. "Yeah," she said, helpfully, "you definitely missed out there. But, hey, a cruise will be like a mini version of that without all the cold stops."

"Yeaaaaah," Claire drawled. "Did you guys really end up in Antarctica? I can watch penguins on the Discovery channel."

"It was coooold," Turtle said. "And that's saying a lot from me. I'm from Wisconsin!"
