3rd Floor Common Room [Monday Evening]

After dinner at Luke's, Bobby was still feeling sort of restless. So he went to his room, grabbed a stack of Rebel Justice Unleashed comics and headed back to the common room.

Sprawling lazily on one of the couches, he got to work catching up on the last few issues. Of course, he wouldn't object to company- that was kind of why he was out here instead of reading in his room.

Valentine didn't have much to do tonight, either, except maybe work on Demosthenes' piece for the paper, so she decided it was common room time, too. That way, she could at least be pretending to socialize, and maybe even actually do it. Laptop under her arm, she drifted in, giving Bobby on the couch a little wave as she made it toward a chair to flop in.

"Evening."

"What're you reading?" Sookie asked, flinging herself onto a couch in a manner that clearly indicated her own boredom.

It was also a mark of said boredom that she'd gone down two floors in search of entertainment.

"'Cause you know me, I only read deep and meaningful things," Sookie said very seriously.

"Nope," Valentine admitted easily, curling up with the computer in her lap, flipping it open and turning it on. "Just technological dependency."

She then returned the question with a nod toward Bobby's comics. "Literature?"

"Which I then reread. For more fun."

"I use a thesaurus, too, to make sure I'm using as many huge words as possible," she added.

So Gabrielle lived on the second floor. As if a simple thing like that would stop a girl who habitually roamed all over the country back home?

"Bobby!" she greeted him, clearly in one of her prime perky moods. "I haven't seen you in a while."

This, obviously, was a tragedy. Of Greek proportions. And she knew Greek proportions.

Valentine grinned a little. "A true devotee of literature could probably take anything and B.S. their way into a logical criticism that talks about how deep and important for our time it is. I'm sure all that blowing stuff up is just a metaphor for society or something."

D'awwwwwwwwwwwwww. Cue the grin that, even though Gabrielle wouldn't know what a watt was, was about 10,000 of them bright.

"It's very good to see you too," she said, perching on the arm of the sofa. "How have you been?"

"Making . . ." Bear with Gabrielle a moment, while she boggled. "What?"

[identity profile] justwantsquiet.livejournal.com 2009-09-15 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"How else do you expect me to use a minimum of thirty-four footnotes, Bobby?" she asked, tsking.

[identity profile] justwantsquiet.livejournal.com 2009-09-15 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Oui, monsieur," she said prissily.

Now Valentine had to snort. "Oh, it's even worse on the Nets. They'll let anyone post things there."

"That's . . ." Gabrielle considered. "An unusual hobby. Is it fun?"

Yes, Gabrielle, it's all about the fun.
