4th Floor Common Room [Wednesday, Afternoon]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Somehow, senior year, Angela had ended up with fewer classes than ever. She would never complain about that one. Ever. But it left her with tonnes of free time. Which she probably could've been filling with prepping her portfolio for art school, but instead was... not.

What? It was the first week of semester. It was allowed.

She'd had her lie in, actually got dressed, and was finally sorting out some lunch for herself (making sandwiches, because she really just couldn't mess that up), and watching (and, okay, humming along to) the weird music videos on whichever channel she'd flipped to. Just how much drugs were the people who came up with these things on?

[[and open, like a common room is!]]

Hurley wandered into the common room, a boggled expression on his face.

"...Music videos got really weird in the past ten years," he said.

"I hear it's all about impact," Angela commented, looking over at him with a grin. "Hey, Hurley."

The sounds drew Beka towards the common room. She'd never heard music quite like this one and she couldn't contain her curiosity. She'd expected a small band to be inside the room, not one girl without any sort of instruments.

"Where's that coming from?" she asked in confusion.

Pounce didn't seem to care a whole lot. His nose had picked up on food and always the mumper, he trotted over to inspect those sandwiches.

"The impact I'm getting is more like 'Man, I wish this music was as good as the video!'," Hurley joked.

Angela pointed towards the TV with her free hand.

"Television," she supplied, and offered the cat a little piece of her ham. "Not from around here?" Just a wild guess. "Or now?"

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

Pounce sniffed the food only once, then gobbled it down eagerly.

"Mumper," Beka muttered under her breath. The sarden cat was making her look like she hadn't fed him the whole day. "Both, I'm guessing," she said to Angela. "I'm Beka Cooper."

Angela snickered, layering some ham onto her bread. "Would you at least remember it for that?"

Hannibal didn't have a class until Friday so, knowing that, he'd sneaked off early this morning to try and attempt some super sappy sentimental anniversary thing (or one of the things he'd do).

Of course, Angela made it easy to find her when he spied her in the common room and he stuck that super sappy thing behind his back and wandered in.

"Hey, you," he said, grinning. "Being gourmet?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I guess," Hurley said. "...Ooooh, sandwiches."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Angela Montenegro," she offered in return, shooting the other girl a grin. "Hi."

"And, don't worry, there's not really tiny people in there or anything." Because she'd seen that assumption before. "Just images."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Had lunch yet?" she asked, "because, if you decide to trust my sandwich making skill, I'm sure I can make for more."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"That's a relief to hear," she replied, moving towards the television just to make sure. "It's like those pictures my roommate has," she observed. "Only moving."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"As I ever am," she said, shooting a grin over her shoulder and giving a nod. "Ham and salad and bread has got to be gourmet to someone."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Like that," Angela agreed, yanking open a drawer to dig out a knife. "You just arrived a few days ago?" Her first newbie this time around!

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"It's gourmet to me," he said even if he did make a face at the salad. Ew, healthy food. "But toasted Pop Tarts are gourmet to me."

"On Saturday," Beka replied, she was still watching the television, fascinated. Twas an excuse not to have to look at the other girl too. She'd really have to talk to Emma to see about getting different clothes, these ones were making her stick out too much... So was the way she was looking wide-eyed at everything.

It's not magic, Pounce told her as he moved over to glance at the television too. He didn't sound confused about it, at least not to Beka who could hear actual words instead of cat-speak.

"How do they do this?" she asked. "Or will I get a headache from the answer?"

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

Mat could only stay in his own room for about twenty minutes before the wall color gave him a headache, so he was out for a wander.

Oooh. Pretty girl. Wandering can be over now!

He gave her a smile as his eyes drifted over to the television. "Burn me, what is that?"

Welcome to 'break in the new kids' time, Mat.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Thank god you're easy to please." Because, while her level for gourmet was quite a bit higher than that, her cooking rarely reached that standard. "Want some?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Hey, man," Hannibal said, giving Hurley a wave. "How's things going?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela grinned, recognising 'new kid' shine with just that one comment. "Television," she told him. That seemed to be the question of the day.

"You don't have that where you're from?" she assumed.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Headache," Angela answered. "Even I don't understand it, really, and they do have them where I'm from."

"Technology does some impressive things, around here."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Of course," he said, wandering closer to her. "I've got something for you first. It's not food, I promise."

[provostsdog.livejournal.com]

"I don't try to understand magic either," Beka reasoned, taking a guess that it might be similar. "What's it purpose?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Ooh, definitely interesting enough for her to put all her attention on him, and none on those sandwiches.

"You do?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"It's all for entertainment," she said, looking over at what was playing at the moment. "Just like if you were watching them live, but a lot less money and effort."
