3rd Floor Common Room [Tuesday, Late Morning]

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy... was not generally a morning person, by any stretch of the imagination. Not unless she hadn't yet been to bed.

So it was mid-morning at least on a day she didn't have a workshop to think about, before she surfaced enough to pull on some clothes and bothered to find something to eat: toast. Well, toast and tea. A master chef in the making, this one.

The TV was on, for all she claimed she hated that sort of thing. She was watching for the mocking potential of their little dramas. That was all.

[[bored bored, and so open!]]

Effy shook her head, tucking her feet up under her.

"Weird American cereal doesn't go with this." In her experience, the stuff in those cupboards tended to be fluorescent and bizarre.

Of which Layla seemed to be taking cereal from each box and mixing it together in one big bowl before taking yogurt out of the fridge. "It's not weird. It just has toy surprises inside," she replied. "And will put you into a sugar coma with the right mixture."

"Working on that already today?" Effy asked, watching her fill that bowl.

"I have to work today," Layla replied as she started mixing the yogurt with water. "I'll need the extra energy. Being hyper makes the day go faster."

"Where'd you work?" she asked after a moment.

She could see how being hyped up on sugar might help a little, whatever it was. Might've chosen something stronger, herself, but each to their own.

"Things Reborn," Layla replied as she poured the yogurt/water mixture over the cereal. "It's one of those used things shops. Vintage clothes. Old record players and stuff. Quiet place to work and the money is fairly decent."

"Think I've seen it." When Effy didn't want to spend time cooped up in the dorms (or cabins, for that matter), she wandered.

"Bric-a-brac sort of thing?" Never could tell what you might find in somewhere like that.

"That would be it," Layla said coming back to the couch with her bowl of cereal. "I like it. Plus the boss is pretty laid back so I can do whatever I want to do as long as the work gets done."

"Not bad." Effy nodded slightly as she watched her make her way over.

"Don't think that sort of work would be for me." She'd have to sit still and take orders from people. Neither of which she was particularly good at.

Layla kind of chuckled at that. "I'm not sure there is a job you'd enjoy," she said sitting down and beginning to wolf down her cereal. "Unless they paid you to smoke."

Effy could hardly deny that, and gave a bit of a laugh.

"You hear of one of those, let me know."
