Second Floor Common Room, Saturday Afternoon

[wantstodirect]

Tony put the DVD for the Roman Polanski version of The Scottish Play into the player and went to make popcorn while the FBI warning came up on the screen. He plopped down on the couch with his popcorn and pop and waited for a few people to arrive before starting the movie itself.

[Open to all!]

Ender wasn't that fond of the idea of going out at all today, but the vid might make it easier for him to focus on what he was supposed to do for the role. On some theoretical level, at least - it came down to text interpretation most of all.

But he made his way down to the common room and took a seat none the less.

"Hey Ender!" Dinah said while she was getting stuff ready to cook. "Congrats on being in the play." She knew Valentine a lot better despite being in the same cabin as Ender for a week, but figured she'd see more of him with the play.

Dinah was here for the Play. Dinah was also here for the Date. Maybe-date. Date? Call it a date for now. Making dinner with George.

Ignore the singing of "Rehab" as she pulls peppers and mushrooms out of the fridge. It's just stir-fry!

[wantstobehuman.livejournal.com]

"Dinah!" George said, grinning as he saw her. "Ready to cook?"

[wantstobehuman.livejournal.com]

George wasn't involved in the play, but he had said he would come by to cook stirfry. ... And said that it was a date. He wasn't sure if it was a date or not! In fact, he was rather just a little bit flailing about it.

But he was there, ready to cook with Dinah! And also to watch a movie. And make movie-snacks, maybe?

Jack, having decided he could make himself wait another week to see Sebastien, was in the common room, stealing some popcorn and taking up rather more space on the couch than a short boy probably, strictly speaking, needed to.

He would probably be on the quiet side due to RL, but he's open for SP.

[wantstodirect]

"Hey," Tony grinned.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Hi Jack!" Dinah said, giving Tony a quick glance as he walked in. Sooooo cute. No touchy! No. That would be weird. "Have you seen The Scottish Play before? And do you want some stir-fry when we're done making it?"

[icecoldfrost]

"Mr. Priest," Emma remarked, clearly amused. "While I'm sure you're a growing man and all, do you really need that much space on the couch?"

It would not be entirely accurate to say that Firekeeper had remained unaffected by whatever had been going on. But since she was pretty much devoid of anything resembling sexual desire, it translated in to just being much more cheerful and willing to be social than usual.

And so there she was, along with Blind Seer, wandering in to the first inhabited common room she could find.

"Hello," she greeted the room. "What television is we watching?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Blysse, Blind Seer, hi!" Dinah grinned from the kitchen island where she was making stir-fry with George, and said, "It's The Scottish Play, Tony got it for us. It's the one we're doing this summer in town! Magic and revenge and murder. How've you guys been?" And she had to ask, curious. "Have you been feeling... weird, this week?"

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"I haven't missed the part with the witches yet, have I?" asked Harper, sprinting into the common room and finding an empty seat.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Nope, they're still praising MacFinlay, who's still off-stage," Dinah called from the kitchen area. "And hi! How're you doing?" And have you jumped Eric? Dinah wanted to ask, but managed to button her lip in time.

[iamnotallgirl]

"Hey, Harper," Jill said with a little wave especially for her roommate.

Diana was once again prowling the school, desperately hoping to find somewhere that her skin didn't feel five sizes too small. "Isn't the school putting this on as a play?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Diana," Dinah said, waving a serving spoon at her. "It's being put on, yeah, but it's the community theater in town, not the school. A lot of us are in it though. How's it going?"

[puppy_fair]

Zack was thrilled to get out to watch the play! He'd been invited, after all, and he'd take just about any excuse to get out of his room and hang around with people.

It wasn't that Zack was unaffected by the weird pheromones floating about, lately. It was that... Well. He was Zack. He hadn't noticed. He was already made of wiggly puppyness and UST.

Also, he'd brought Pixy Stix. It was an addiction, by this point.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Oh God. Dinah's first immediate reaction was to go over and hug Zack, which she now had worked out was her mind's way of getting her to touch people. And her second was to ask him to come over and give *her* a hug. And... Date! On a date!

"Hiiiii, Zack." Okay, she couldn't help the breathiness. But she could stay right where she was. Next to the food. "How are you doing?"

Please don't be sexy over here?

If there was one thing that Firekeeper was more than familiar with, it was puppyish enthusiasm. Which is why she can't help but smile at the guy she recognizes from Lady Ghanima's class as well as the Reserve.

"Hello," she said. "You is in play also?"

[lovemykilt]

Priestly hadn't given up on attempting to understand the play.

It wasn't easy, what with how . . . distracted he -- and apparently everyone else -- was today, but he was determined.

At this rate, though, he'd be lucky if he didn't tell Geoffrey that Berto was a porn star.

Perhaps watching the movie would be good for him.

[I've totally been here the whole time, shut up. . . .]

[wantstodirect]

Tony waved. "How's it going?" he asked.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah spotted Priestly, did a deer-in-the-headlights, then waved. "Hi." Umm. "We have food!"

[iamnotallgirl]

Jill wasn't in any play, but she'd woken up yesterday in possession of her body and missing memories again. The thing was, they were memories of days she should've been her. And, since she'd woken up, she'd felt...odd.

She was sure it was all somehow Jack's fault.

Her instinct was to hide out in her room and not deal with people, but she knew that was a bad idea, so she'd ventured out to the common room. "Uh, hi, guys," she said with a little wave.

[wantstodirect]

"Hey," Tony said to Jill. Wasn't there something... oh, crap. Right. "I think I owe you coffee," he said.

[icecoldfrost]

Emma could smell popcorn from her room on third, and being Emma, was hardly going to pass up the chance for free food.

"What are we watching?" she asked, leaning against the door frame to check out the room before walking all the way in. "Anything interesting?"

[wantstodirect]

"The Scottish Play," Tony said. "Witchcraft and murder in ye olde Scotland."

[glacial_queen]

Right. Karla has nearly forgotten they were supposed to watch the Scottish Play tonight. Which meant an end to her lovely, self-imposed exile, which had been interrupted by guests anyway. "I smell food!" she half-sang, coming in. "Up for grabs?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Up for everyone!" Dinah said, pointing to the stir-fry and snacks she and George had been making. "Chicken and veggies and noodles, want some?"
