Third Floor Common Room - Sunday Evening

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

Chuck had some time to kill before Emmett dragged him off to do radio so he decided to hang out in the common room to make himself easily available. He didn't want to be in his room when that happened; Emmett had the habit of knocking so hard that the door almost came off the hinges. Chuck decided to make himself comfortable while waiting and he had ordered some Chinese food and was now poking at lo mein while watching a movie.

It was really unfair that the chubby kid from this movie ended up with Rebecca Romijn.

[I'm bored omg. And Stand By Me is really on CMT right now fyi]

Eric had contemplated coming home and making waffles. In fact, that's what he'd planned to do -- but he'd been so frustrated after working, having walked by the spot where Merlin turned him into a mouse, that he'd forgotten to stop for more eggs, and so couldn't make any more batter.

Which means scrounging through the common rooms. He stopped by the third floor on his way up, having caught the whiff of Chinese. "Got any extra?" he asked Chuck, flopping down into a chair.

Joan was both bored and grateful that whatever had been going on in Fandom for the past few days finally seemed to be over.

As such, she wandered down to the common room to see what was going on. "Hey, Chuck."

Joan waved, recognizing Eric as one of the TAs for her Sexual Anthropology class and man was she glad she hadn't had that during whatever was going on.

"Yeah, have whatever you want," Chuck said, gesturing with his fork at the food on the coffee table.

"Hey, Joan," Chuck said, waving his fork at her. He was capable of using chopsticks but he was really too lazy to put in the effort of using them. "Before you ask, yes, you can have some food."

[notasuiciderisk.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Eric said, smiling and returning the wave. "Joan, right?"

[notasuiciderisk.livejournal.com]

Eric grabbed a container of beef-and-broccoli and a pair of chopsticks, digging in. "Thanks," he said. "This was an odd weekend. Sure, I had sex with Arthur. But then I got turned into a mouse."

Somehow, he didn't think Chuck would mind much the overshare.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, and you're Eric?" Joan said. "I've seen you around, even though I don't think we've gotten a chance to talk."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"So I heard," Chuck said, almost sad that the weekend had been fairly normal for him. "How was Arthur in bed? He's pretty hot."

Important things first.

"Oh, thanks!" Joan said, helping herself to some food. "Excellent movie," she remarked, sitting down in a chair. "So what's new?"

[notasuiciderisk.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I don't think so," Eric agreed. "You're in Professor Brennan's class, right?"

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Yeah."

Joan sighed. "My mother picks my classes, much to my dismay."

[notasuiciderisk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that got a grin as Eric remembered. "Well, I'm not one to kiss and tell," he said. "... At least, not details. It was... pretty fantastic, though."

While Sam had thoroughly enjoyed spending the last few days in his room, he'd gotten back to the point where going out to find food wasn't a hardship. Of course, that didn't mean he wanted to go far, and he was going to search the common room kitchen until he saw who was already in there. Sam waited in the doorway for a second, quietly trying to decide if he could sneak back out before Chuck saw him.

"... Your mother put you in a sex class? I thought only my mother was that cruel."

To be fair, his mother could very well have been trying to teach him not to make the same mistakes she had, but it was still embarrassing.

Rose got back from Fight Club and showered, but she totally wasn't ready to hang out in her room thinking about how she couldn't give Lissa a call until early tomorrow morning so she found a common room with people in it.

"Hey big brother," she said lightly, going over to investigate the cupboards for food. "And people I don't know."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Nothing out of the ordinary," he said. Chuck smirked. "Which is actually the odd thing considering everyone else had gone kind of insane."

It's not like Chuck hadn't been affected by the sex pollen. It's just he was used to being out of control horny all the time and knew how to deal with it.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Sit down." Chuck had excellent peripheral vision, thank you.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"For the second time," Joan said with a huff. "The last one was Sex Ed: The Abstinence Only Approach."

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Hello, little sister," Chuck said. "How are you?"

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Joan flushed a little. "Yeah, the last few days have been kind of nuts."

But she figured that a guy like Chuck wouldn't have a problem with that.

[notasuiciderisk.livejournal.com]

Eric looked at her for a moment. "Right! Sorry, I'd blocked most of that class from my memory, or I think I'd have remembered you from there, too. He was... ... Um. An... interesting professor."

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Sam," Joan said, waving at him.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Thought so. Arthur looks like he'd be good in bed." Chuck had a talent for being able tell that sort of thing. "And the mouse thing?"

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah," Joan and her mun had almost forgotten that Eric was in that one too. "At least the final was fun."

You know, given that the final was kissing Chuck.
