Third Floor Common Room - Saturday Morning

[datemyavatar.livejournal.com]

Codex had survived two weeks in Fandom. This, in her opinion, was a great feat and a little distance from her fellow Guildies was doing her a world of good. She didn't have to worry about them showing up randomly (plane tickets were expensive) and things could go back to them being contactable only through the computer. It was a winning situation really.

As a treat for surviving, Codex was out of her room, on the couch and watching TV with a nice bowl of some kind of cereal that looked like a rainbow puked into the milk. Only less gross.


[OOC: The meta of Hercules & Xena: The Battle for Mount Olympus is on the TV because it's on mine. Method RP!]

Leto was also looking for breakfast, although he choice would be slightly less colourful.

"Good morning," he said as he entered the room, heading for the kitchen area.

Codex looked up, a big spoonful of cereal crammed in her mouth. "Hi Leto," she said around the cereal. A small bit of milk dribbled out the corner of her mouth, which she hurried to wipe away before he saw. "How has your week been?"

[future_sandworm]

"Oh, well enough," he said. "And are you settling in?"

He arranged some bread, cheese and dried fruit on a plate and proceeded to make some spice coffee.

"I have my desktop and refrigerator set up and plenty of food. I'd call that settled in well enough. For now, anyway." She drifted off into thought for a moment. "I need to buy more soda today." Then she was back paying attention. "Did you get all of the classes you wanted?" Classes were a safe topic. She could absolutely talk about classes without sounding stupid.

Listening to her words, Leto asked: "Is there a food shortage where you're from?"

And then he continued: "I did. I take Logic and Oceanography. And yourself?"

Why did she seem so nervous?

[datemyavatar.livejournal.com]

"No, no food shortage," she assured him. "I just don't like going to the store much, so if I make sure there's food here or in my room, I don't have to go far when I'm hungry. It's a convenience thing," she added as a weak explanation. "I took Classical Genre and How to Win Friends and Influence People."

[future_sandworm]

He nodded at her explanation, not questioning this.

"And how do you like your classes?" He took the plate and his coffee cup and walked over to the couch, taking a seat next to her.

Didi roamed into the common room to pick out her own bowl of cereal. It was early; she hadn't drawn on her eye makeup yet, and sleep had her pale even for her.

The ankh, though, still glimmered beneath her short black terrycloth robe.

"Mmmm," she said, adding milk to her cereal. "Morning. Watching anything?"

[datemyavatar.livejournal.com]

"Nothing interesting," Codex replied. "I don't even know what this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQFVRBPHyvc) is. But the blonde girl turned into a giant bald eagle and I'm not sure why."

[living_endless]

Didi squinted at it. "I think they're kind of making up Greek mythology as they go along. Cute."

She found a chair, cereal in hand. "I'm Didi."

"Codex," she replied, completing the introduction. There was a brief pause as she contemplated whether to correct herself to Cyd, but she went with Codex. No one had given her a hard time about it yet (another minor Fandom perk). "I didn't think it was possible for anything to be even more cracky than the live action series," she glanced at the TV, "but I stand corrected. Sometimes I wonder how these things get funding."

[living_endless]

Codex. Well, it wasn't any weirder than Turtle.

"Probably from people who watch them and buy more bright orange cereal," she suggested, poking her spoon at her bowl.

[datemyavatar.livejournal.com]

"There are so many good shows that get cancelled before their time. Or webseries that never get off the ground. I wish they had bright orange cereal to keep them going."

[living_endless]

"Are there?" Didi wondered. "I don't really watch a lot of TV."

[future_sandworm]

The girl must be a new student whom Leto hadn't met yet.

"Good morning," he greeted her.

[living_endless]

"Morning," Didi said with a smile. He had pretty eyes. "You a cartoons fan too?"

[future_sandworm]

"No," he replied, a little surprised by the sudden question. "Are you?"

[living_endless]

Didi shook her head, surprised by his surprise. "Just asked because it's what Codex is watching. I like the old ones, like Bugs Bunny."

[future_sandworm]

"I have to admit I'm not familiar with Bugs Bunny," Leto replied, smiling a little. "I don't believe we've met. I'm Leto Atreides."

Leda hadn't been able to sleep, so she thought she might try to see if there was anyone about.

Oh look there was someone. "What's this?" She could have been asking about the movie, or the cereal.

[datemyavatar.livejournal.com]

"A bad cartoon with very little plot," Codex replied. "I'd try to explain it, but I don't even know where to start." That was when she actually looked up and saw who was talking to her. Cue staring. "You're...you're..." Words failed her. So did manners apparently. "Hi."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"An Elf." Leda smiled. "Hi. My name's ridiculously long, so I go by Leda."

[datemyavatar.livejournal.com]

"Codex," she managed to say. "A real elf. What kind?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"The lines are a little blurred these days I guess but Seelie." Those were the only two kinds of Elves that she knew. Well except for Wild Elves but even Elves didn't know if they still existed. "Pleased to meet you Codex." Where Leda came from most people had different names than the ones their parents gave them.

[datemyavatar.livejournal.com]

Okay, not the Elves she knew, but still. ELF. Real life elf right here. "Pleased to meet you too. Are you a student here?" Stupid question and she knew it the moment it left her mouth.
