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.]

"I have had nothing but free time for four years," he informed her. "I've read a lot of everything. Not all of it good."

"I like stupid romance novels," Sookie sighed. "They're like candy for your brain."

"I got some terrible novels at the library the other day - romance mixed with the supernatural," he shared.

"Yeah?" Sookie perked right up. "What kinda supernatural stuff?"

"Uh, vampires, actually," he said, sort of watching her for reaction, like she'd sprout fangs and go into attack mode at the mention of the word.

"Oooh." She didn't go into attack mode, but she did look interested. "I've read a couple like that! There're vampires at home, and lots of people find 'em romantic and sexy and stuff."

"But you're not a vampire, right?" He had to check, okay? There was some trauma.

"Oh, heavens, no," Sookie said, shaking her head and laughing. "I've never even seen one at home!"

That was a relief. "Oh good. Yeah, the novels are all about the good ones versus the bad ones and they so are just playing to whether or not you're hooked on the couples in the stories," he said, talking about the books again, yes.

"I might have to pick these up," she said, smiling widely. "Sounds like they're right up my alley."
