Fourth Floor Common Room - Friday Afternoon [6/26]

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

Jon was hanging out in the common room today. Some video channel was playing on the television, but he wasn't really watching it. Nope, he was organizing photos on his computer. Photos taken at the fashion show.

Maybe he would consider becoming a photographer.

Sorry, no free food from him today.

Karla was bored and wandering. And lo, there was an occupied common room. And, even more lo, there was someone she even knew--and liked! "Kiss kiss," she said, sauntering into the room. "Whatcha up to, Jon?"

Jon waved, because the greeting immediately told him who it was. (And he'd be really confused if anyone else started saying it.)

"Going through the pictures from the fashion show. Sadly, I think Arthur has a future in modelling."

[glacial_queen]

Karla wouldn't know whether to be pleased or pissed if her catchphrase started actually catching on.

"What do you mean?" she asked, coming to stand behind him and peer at his laptop. "Is it because all the models looked hungry and holier-than-thou?"

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

Jon laughed and shook his head. He pointed at one pic of Arthur. "He looks just like one of the guys on that modeling show did, and he won the challenge or something."

He may have just let it be known that he watched crappy reality television.

"...I have no idea what you're talking about. Is this some kind of Fandom duplicate-face thing?" Karla asked flatly, never having been introduced to the 'wonders' of reality TV.

A good friend would help keep her that way.

Jon was probably a very bad friend then. "No, just the guy on the show had the same angry look. I think he was pissed at the host of the show or something. He won though."

[glacial_queen]

So long as he doesn't decide Karla needs to see one, all will be forgiven.

"All the models I saw looked that way," Karla said, making a face. "I think it was because they were hungry. I get really bitchy when I get hungry."

It may bear mentioning that Karla's Sapphire speeds up her metabolism, this making her burn through food much faster. On the other hand, some folks might have been able to figure that out by her last sentence alone.

"I'll show you the show later."

Jon grinned at her. "What's your excuse for all the other times?" he teased.

[glacial_queen]

Karla gasped, and then burst out laughing. "Trying to follow in your footsteps, obviously," she said, snickering. "Bitch!"

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"I am not! I'm a manly man," he insisted. No matter what anyone said.

[glacial_queen]

"Of course you are," Karla soothed, smirking at him. "Does that mean you'd prefer me to refer to you as a prick or a bastard then?"

Karla was pleased. His comment had been worthy of a Warlord Prince.

Jon eyed her for a moment and then went back to clicking through pictures. "How about jerk? The first one works though, if you need to."

[glacial_queen]

"Who said anything about 'need'?" Karla asked, sitting on the arm of the sofa nearest to him. "Jerk will work fine. I'm trying to find a term I can call you in amusement without giving offense. Do you have such things here? I usually get bitch or harpy. Not that I can imagine why."

She leaned over to look at the pictures. "These are pretty good," she said. All the pictures sh'd managed to take had her thumb over half of them.

Robin was in need of human contact. Well he often was, but anyway, that was why he'd found his way into the common room.

"Hi! What's on?"

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

Jon looked at Robin and then looked at the television. "Old 'Remote Control' reruns, it looks like."

It was really sad that he knew that game show.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I don't know that one. Maybe it's from after my time."

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

Jon had to ask. "When's your time?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"The early 80's. Though, it's closer to mid 80's now I guess."

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"About the right time. I think the show started in 87 or 88."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Should be starting pretty soon then." Robin said thoughtfully. "Is it any good?"

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"It's dorky, stupid and all about pop culture. Which means that yes, I think it's good," Jon admitted with a grin.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, I like dorky and pop culture." Robin said happily. "A lot of my uncle's show was like that."

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"Your uncle had a show?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh, the Muppet Show. It was a variety show with celebrity guest stars."

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"Sounds kinda of cool. Were you ever on it?"
