Third Floor Common Room [Tuesday Evening]

[longislandiceme]

Right, so. Bobby had a teddy bear tucked under one arm as he made his way into the common room. He had a homework assignment and by jove (whoever jove was), he was going to actually finish it before the last minute.

It helped that it wasn't a difficult assignment. Well. In theory.

"Okay, little guy," he said, holding the teddy bear out in front of him and regarding it thoughtfully. "Time for you to do something awesome. Any ideas?"

The teddy bear was not being terribly forthcoming. In fact, he seemed to be downright reticent about the whole thing, staring back at Bobby with a closed-lip expression. Or it would have been closed-lip if the bear had actual lips instead of just a stitched-on smile.

[ooc: soooo very open.]

Zack was wandering! Nobody had died terrible deaths at the reserves meeting, which was a bonus, and he was still feeling social, so today was very much a 'pop his head into common rooms until something interesting happens' day.

"Little bro!"

Hey look! Something interesting!

[longislandiceme]

"Zack!" Bobby grinned, tucking the teddy bear back under his arm. "What's up, big bro?"

[puppy_fair]

"Not much! Just kinda wandering around, you know? It's all... Tuesday, today." Zack gave a solemn nod. That sort of thing totally made sense. Really. "New friend, there?"

It was cuuuuuuute. Aww, bear.

[longislandiceme]

"Very Tuesday-ish," Bobby agreed, which meant he was bored because he didn't have class again until Thursday. "Yeah," he held him up and made the bear do a wiggly little dance. "History project, actually. I'm supposed to take a picture of him doing something awesome."

[puppy_fair]

And there went Zack, laughing. Okay, he totally needed to get in on this.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Because Awesome Bears totally deserved Awesome Things To Do.

[longislandiceme]

"No," he grumped. "I tried asking the bear himself but for some reason he's not very talkative," Bobby rolled his eyes.

"Well, okay, that's not true, I can think of plenty of awesome things he could do, like skydiving or parasailing, but I don't exactly have an airplane or a boat handy," he complained.

[puppy_fair]

Zack leaned his head back, seriously considering the options, here.

"How do you feel about swords and fireballs?"

Because there was totally no way something like that could ever go wrong.

[longislandiceme]

"Uh," Bobby blinked. "I've never given it that much thought. Whyyyyy?" Someone was a little slow on the uptake here, sometimes.

[puppy_fair]

And there was that grin of Zack's that just-so-happened to mean that he was about to suggest they do something very stupid, yes.

"Because I happen to have a sword. And a Fire Materia. So, really, we've got both really, really readily at our disposal, so long as we take it out to the beach or something."

[longislandiceme]

Well that sent the little hamster-on-a-wheel in Bobby's brain spinning. Spin, hamster, spin!

"Sure," he grinned. A pause, then: "...what's a fire materia?"

[puppy_fair]

"It's like a big marble that lets me throw fireballs," Zack replied, looking all proud of himself. "I have a Blizzard one, too. Guess what that lets me do!"

[longislandiceme]

Oh now that definitely piqued his interest. "Snow or ice, I'm guessing?" he said, trying to sound casual.

[puppy_fair]

Zack grinned and did something that could only rightly be described as a 'noddle.'

"Big chunk of ice! Just appearing in thin air and smashing down on the heads of my foes!"

Why yes, that totally required a pose be struck.

"Oh, oh, I've got an idea!" Jaime proclaimed from his apparently-comfy spot on the couch where he was munching on a muffin.

[longislandiceme]

"Sharing is caring, Jaime," Bobby replied. "Whatcha got?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Okay, I lied," Jaime admitted. "But I bet if we put our heads together we could come up with something awesome."

[longislandiceme]

Of course it did! "That sounds... pardon the pun- kinda cool," Bobby had to admit. "Don't suppose I could see that one in action sometime?" he asked hopefully.

[longislandiceme]

Bobby stuck his tongue out at Jaime. "Way to get my hopes all up, dude," he said dramatically, flopping down on the couch.

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime looked up from where he was sprawled out lazily diligently (somehow) on the couch. Oh, hey, a person!

"Hi," he called without actually sitting up.

[puppy_fair]

"Oh, man, I'd love to show you! I haven't had a chance to bust out my Materia since those big sewer alligators tried to take over!"

That had been a while ago. He wanted to throw fireballs and drop shards of iiiice!

"I've got a Cure Materia, too. Which is a healing spell. Really handy for when you're in battle. Oh! And Yuffie gave me Mug for my birthday!"

He could babble about these things forever.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Yeah, I'm terrible, I know..."

Then, suddenly... "Hey! Maybe there could be an epic prank!"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Bobby, sweetheart," Sookie said with some concern as she entered the room, "I'm not sure the bear's gonna talk back."

[puppy_fair]

Oh, hey! A guy on the couch!

Zack grinned and waved a little hello.

"Hi there, couch-guy!"

[intraspective]

"If it talks back will you scream and run like a little girl?" Ino asked, poking her head into the room and grinning. "I mean, seriously, that'd be creepy."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Couch-guy," Jaime repeated musingly. "I like that. Makes me sound like a super-hero, huh?"

"You could have a seat and be my side-kick or something."
