4th Floor Common Room [Friday, Afternoon]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

After making an appearance in class, Angela was in need of something to cleanse her mind of the zombie movie clips. With everything going on, watching all that just made her feel a little ill.

That was why the television was tuned firmly to Nickelodeon, for something silly and distracting.

She was clutching a mug of hot chocolate, and had that hockey stick she'd picked up lying across her lap. Better safe than... something else.

[[it's a common room, and it is open.]]

Chuck was still sticking to the dorms but had gotten bored of raiding the third floor fridge so here he was, moving up to the fourth. Of course he didn't make it to the fridge once he spotted what was on TV.

"Are you watching...cartoons?" he asked.

"It was one of the least gory things I found," she replied truthfully. "So, yes."

"Hey, Chuck."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Hey," he said, deciding to forgo the food at the moment to flop down in an armchair. He eyed the field hockey stick lying across Angela's lap. "If you're planning to play field hockey, I'll have you know that the tiny skirt is a requirement. It's in the rules."

It so was not in the rules.

"We survive the weekend, and I will take that into consideration," she told him with a nod.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you'll survive," Chuck said with a wave of his hand. "Just don't be an idiot who leaves the dorms to try to be a hero."

Oh thank Jim Henson, something completely not-scary on the television. After rehearsal last night Robin had barely managed to get the nerve for the return trip, and kinda never planned to leave the dorms again.

"Is there anymore hot chocolate?"

"I am definitely not one of those," Angela said firmly. "The less I see of those things, the better."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela nodded. "Plenty on the side, sweetie," she told him.

"Congratulations, we're smarter than about seventy percent of the student body," Chuck said, giving her a salute. "The good news is if everyone else dies and we have to repopulate the school we are going to make some good looking kids."

Never let it be said that Chuck Bass didn't look on the bright side of things.

Angela couldn't help a laugh at that, which was more than the cartoons had managed. Go Chuck.

"Very true," she had to agree, tucking her feet up onto the couch. "That, and chock full of charm."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Naturally," he agreed, happy that he got her to laugh. "So there's nothing to be worried about. Either this clears up quickly or you and I have good looking, charming children. It's win-win."

"Thank you." Robin went and got himself a small (well for him it was big) cup of cocoa and joined her on the couch. "How are you holding up?" he asked. He himself was still a tad shaky after last night.

"Anyone ever tell you, you have an interesting outlook in times of crisis?" Angela asked with a slight smirk.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I'm not holed up and crying."

That was positive for you.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"I think this is the first time I've been in a time of crisis," Chuck said honestly. Teen drama aside, he had led a pretty relaxed life. "So you get to be the first."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, me too."

Cause, it was very tempting.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I always wanted to be a trendsetter like that," she joked. "Life's ambition. Hopefully it catches on."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Not many people get to say they've been my first at something," Chuck said with a wink. Though plenty of people could say Chuck had been their first.

"Oh, I take it as a great honour," Angela assured him, patting her chest.

"I'll try not to let it go to my head."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck smirked. "Oh I'd totally show it off if I were you. Having an ego is never a bad thing."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I'm just not thinking about it, staying right here, and watching cartoons."

Master plan.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"So long as you can still move under the weight, right?" she said.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I like it." Mm, little marshmallows. "So, are you looking forward to the new batch of students coming in May?"

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Chuck said, snickering. "A little confidence never hurt anybody."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"I think it depends a little on what you're confident in--" Angela mused. "And if it's well placed confidence, or not."

"But yeah, I can agree with that."
