Fourth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had been struck by the slightest bout of homesickness earlier, which, as it had her first night in Fandom, drove her to go to the store and return to her common room kitchen with armfuls of supplies to make banana pudding.

She was fairly satisfied with her first batch, which was set aside in a two-quart dish and from which she was sampling while she carefully whisked over a double boiler. She had no idea who was going to eat all this, but it was like a rule -- you couldn't make just a little of this stuff.

She was pretty sure she could find someone to eat it. It wasn't like people around here hated sweets or anything (though she imagined that'd be an awful life.) In the meantime, she stirred, pausing to turn the television onto some old sitcom, just for background noise.

[omg I don't even like bananas and I want to make that, now. totes open. come eat pudding.]

"Aye, we took him t'have milkshakes and fries," George informed her. "Seems like they're still tasty when you're a wee bird." He grinned. "So what kind of animal would ye like t'be turned into if'n you were."

"Well. I think I'd like being some kind of bird," she said, having never thought about it until the night before when she'd just tossed out the idea of kangaroos to tease Bobby. "Just to be able to see everything from so high up, y'know?"

"Could be tryin' the roofs," George pointed out. "Though that's not th' same really."

"I'd worry about falling off, there. Birds don't usually fall," she pointed out.

"Would ye automatically know how t'fly?" George wondered.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Exactly! But humans don't! Except in planes and stuff," she replied.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Which isn't th' same," he checked.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Not at all. I've never been in a plane, but I can guess," she said, nodding.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"I don' even know what a plane is," George admitted.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Sookie really needed to stop finding these things so fascinating. "Like a giant metal bird that people fly in, kinda."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"...a giant metal bird," he repeated slowly.

It sounded much less insane when he was just going with it.

"Or like a car with wings?" she tried.

George gave her an apologetic grin. "I don't have a clue, lass. 'M sorry."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"If you ever hear a sort of 'whirrrrr' noise from the sky, look up," she offered. "It's probably a plane."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"I'll be sure t'do that then," he said quickly.

He was totally still stuck on the giant metal bird, yeah.
