Second Floor Common Room: Monday Afternoon

After "Awesome" class Layla found herself in the common room sitting cross legged on the counter roasting a marshmallow on a stick with the marshmallow in question inserted into a very hot toaster oven.

And in between making and eating "indoor s'mores" Layla would spend her time writing down random haikus in her Hello Kitty journal as she thought about the events of the last week.

True, she could have gone to the campground and lit a fire but this was so much less work.

Fiona was feeling the need to be out and about, mostly because she was feeling better about life, which found her in the common room, blinking at the other girl. Once she understood what she was doing, there was less blinking, but she still wondered what was just so wonderful about marshmallows that people might feel the need to do that.

She waved off the offer, blinking as she... hadn't actually thought she knew the girl before pulling someone out from under her hair to put her on her lap. The kitten pouted at her before she started scritching it's ears.

"Sorry. I, uh, don't seem to remember your name. Thank you, though."

A faint smile.

"I don't eat," she said with a shrug, "but thanks. Is it really worth the trouble?"

Firekeeper and Blind Seer made their way into the common room- still getting used to the fact that this was their floor now, after nearly a year on the 3rd.

Firekeeper tilted her head at the toaster-oven s'more making. "Did not know such was possible," she admitted.

To be honest Firekeeper thought campfires were easier than microwaves and such, but to each their own. "Good now that sleeping problem others have is fixed."

Yeah, nothing she could comment on.

"Everything tastes like sawdust to me," she explained, "so there's not much of a point. But I remember eating. I liked it. Just kind of pointless now."

Trying not to be bitter, trying not to be bitter-- ooo, kitten. That was the best idea ever. Just look down and there's fluffy adorableness that can make you forget that you can't enjoy things like food anymore.

Nyx got a scritch just for that.

"So I see," she said flatly, trying not to sound annoyed. There was enjoying things and then there was being polite. Then again, she really had to learn to settle herself around people more often, not get so upset.

"Glad things are back to normal at least."

They could share that, couldn't they?

"I not know what many of your words mean, so I 'take your word for it' as they say," Firekeeper replied with a nod.

Okay. What was that?

"Exactly," she said after a few minutes, "'here' normal. There's no such thing as real 'normal', I don't think."

"Is there anyone like that? I don't think I've met anyone who isn't, well, a little weird in one way or another."

[identity profile] kestrelswolf.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Did not," she shook her head. "And could not be much help with looking in books, here. Did not much like this doing nothing."

"What would you define as normal?"

She was curious.

"I haven't really dealt with her much other than while everything was going on."

Maybe she should try and correct that a little.
