Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Evening

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley sat on a couch in the common room, though metaphorically he was still on cloud nine.

He was a man now. It was totally awesome.

The TV was showing some TV show where this giant basketball player was playing other people at their own sports. He wasn't paying too much attention, admittedly. He was paying more attention to his nachos.

He had enough chips and cheese and stuff for other folks to have nachos, too.

Elle was bored. This was nothing new.

However, instead of being grumpy about said boredom, she was attempting to sit in one of the common rooms -- her own, for a change. That was kind of shiny and new.

"Hey," she greeted as she walked into the common room, pulling her hair up in a ponytail.

"Oh, hey Elle," Hurley said. "You want some nachos?"

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, sure." Because like Elle was going to turn away free food? Ahaha, right.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"You been cool and stuff?" Hurley said, smiling. "I've been pretty good."

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Eh." Elle shrugged. "Been okay. Nothing much been going on." she grinned. "Am so looking forward to the newbies."

Because brain breaking? Was kind of Elle's hobby.

"Yeah?" Hurley said. "I guess so. There should be some cool people, right?"

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Or at least people who aren't completely lame," Elle said. "Because it's bad enough that they'll be newbies, they don't need to be lame newbies, too."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I've yet to meet anyone here that's completely lame," Hurley said. "Some jerkfaces, but nobody lame."

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

Elle thought about that for a moment. "Yeah, you've got a point," she said. "Nobody lame. At least, not consistently so."

Because more than a few people had their moments, in her opinion.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Hurley said. "Got any specific hopes for the newbies?" He was mostly joking.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Innocent people," she decided after a moment. "Like, completely not used to this weird crap. They're more fun to watch."

"What, like... people most likely to freak out?" Hurley said.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," she said with a nod.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley had to admit, it was kinda fun. "Let's just hope they handle the freak out okay," he said, with a little chuckle.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Because breaking them that badly their first few days here would probably be frowned on, after all."

Which would be pretty much the only thing keeping her from doing it. She'd kind of like to not make teachers write home about her just yet.

"Well, yeah," Hurley said. "Plus... kiiinda mean."

Om nom, nachos.

"Hey," Alex replied. She added in a wave, once she was sure she wasn't about to knock over her nachos.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

Elle gave a slight wave, sprawling out on the couch she'd claimed as her own. "I have no idea who you are," she said cheerfully.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

Alex couldn't help but laugh at that. "I'm Alex Russo," she replied. "From 301," she added, just in case she wanted to know.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Elle Bishop, from 519."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you, Elle," Alex replied. "Looking forward to new people arriving?" She was. If only to see how varied their reactions might be.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Oh, definitely," Elle said with a nod.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"I wonder how many brains will break before classes even start," Alex mused.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Kinda depends on the fresh crop and how resilient they are, I think," Elle said.
