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!]]

"I like it," she confirmed simply. "Usually quiet, good views, no one really cares if you smoke."

"Heh," Hurley said. "Like the quiet, huh?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes," she answered easily. "Also like the loud. Depends on the day."

"You don't?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Depends on the day," Hurley said, smiling. "I mean, you can't like anything all the time. Except chicken. And certain people."

"There aren't some days you don't like certain people?" Effy asked curiously.

She couldn't think there weren't certain moments she wouldn't dislike even people she loved, like Tony.

"I meant, like, there are certain people you like all the time?" Hurley said, thinking that made sense.

"Even the people you like can fuck up," Effy pointed out. "Maybe it's only for a minute, but it's still there."

"Oh," Hurley said, realizing that was true.

"...good point."

Vaguely depressing, that.

Little ball of sunshine, that was Effy.

She shrugged. "Still got chicken, right?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hurley said. "Not like it can ever act stupid, right?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy huffed a little amusement. "Should hope not." That... would be weird.

... And not entirely unusual in a place like this.

"...maybe I shouldn't say that too loud," Hurley said. "The island might jinx it."
