Fourth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

After discerning that the men of Fandom were getting in touch with their feminine sides today, through her interaction with Worf this morning and a quick -- overwhelming, but thankfully quick -- mental scan of the dorms, Sookie made her way out to the common room with a mission in mind.

First, she had obtained copies of a few movies -- The Journal was where she was starting, but she figured that a little social experiment about whether chick flicks would appeal to the boys in their new bodies was worth attempting. She'd brought out tissues, too, considering that she knew she'd need them, if no one else. She'd heard about this movie.

Secondly, she had a bag of little individually-wrapped chocolates. Again, social experiment. She was just curious. And completely willing to share.

[open like a common room. The Journal = The Notebook, which missed_the_gate HATES, somehow! I think she has no soul.]

Griff had bathed (for a very long time) and conditioned and combed and was wearing clothes that he wouldn't tug at and feeling a little more human when he wandered into the common room.

And then he saw Sookie. "Oh bloody hell!"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"...evening," Sookie said, blinking a little at that greeting. "Are you a boy-who's-a-girl, or always shaped like that and we've just never met?"

She wasn't touching the swearing.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Boy, yeah," he said, torn between having a seat and getting over his issues and fleeing down the stairwell and hiding from vampires he'd stabbed in the back. "You're always a gel, right?" Might as well confirm things.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "I'm Sookie. Chocolate?" She held out the bag, curious about the twitchiness but staying in her own head, politely.

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

She would know those ears anywhere.

"..."

That, of course, was the sound of a goddess staring.

"Can I help you?" Griff could tuck his hair behind his ear and try to pretend like he wasn't himself to avoid awkward conversations, right? It was sure to work.

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

Oh the tucking just didn't help here.

"You're pretty."

...for some reason, this was all that came out.

Tara was wandering ... well, because she was, and she noticed the movie when she came up to the fourth floor. She took a spot on the floor to watch.

"I love this," she offered, with a shy glance to the blond girl to make sure she didn't mind company.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I've never seen it!" Sookie replied with a grin. "Want some chocolate?"

[life_inshadow]

"Sure," Tara answered, reaching her hand out for a wrapped piece. "I th-thought everyone had seen it. Like it was a requirement."

She peeped up at Sookie. "I'm Tara."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Sookie," she offered, smiling down at her. "I guess that answers my question 'bout whether you're normally a boy. And I just haven't seen it 'cause I'm from 1999, and our big chick flick requirement was like, that movie with ship sinking and all. I hadn't gotten 'round to this since coming to Fandom."

Zayne made his way to the common room, still not terribly comfortable in his new, impressively soft skin. But hey, when did mild embarrassment ever stop Zayne Carrick from trying to be social? Never, that's when.

"Good evening," he said to the room.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Hiya!" Sookie called cheerfully. "Are you normally a girl, or is today extra-special for you?"

She liked not peeking into their heads to see which was right. It was like a game!

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Extra-special," Zayne said. "Don't tell me you can't figure out who I sm."

He felt the robes were probably a dead giveaway.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie studied him for a moment, taking in the robes, and discerning that this probably wasn't Ben, what with the brunette thing and all.

"Zayne, honey, is that you in there?" she giggled.

Hannibal had to get out and flaunt his hotness so it was so convenient his common room was busy tonight.

"Hey, Sookie," he said, not even explaining the appearance.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"And who are you normally?" she asked, smiling over at the girl who she didn't recognize.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"You don't recognize me?" he asked, pretending to be hurt. "Can't imagine why!"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"You look a little different than the last time I saw you," she said, tsking at herself.

Fiona wandered up, mostly because Nyx kept getting a sniff of her down the hall and meowing pitifully just loud enough for her to hear. There were quite a few new 'girls' but she was trying her best not to bother them. She was well aware that overnight transformation could be startling, after all.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Hi there. Wanna watch The Journal with us?" Sookie asked, waving to the new girl. "And are you always a girl?"

[cutsthestrings.livejournal.com]

She eyed the television for a moment before nodding.

"Since I was born, anyway."

Bobby had finally, finally worked up the courage to actually go out and face the world like this. And as long as he was outside of his room he might as well go for broke and actually head somewhere with people, right?

"Hey, Sookie," he said with a little wave as he flopped down on a couch.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Hmmm. I don't recognize you," Sookie observed thoughtfully, tilting her head, "so that must mean you're not normally a girl. Right?"

[longislandiceme]

"Definitely not normally a girl," Bobby informed her. "But now you're gonna have to guess."
