2nd Floor Common Room - Thursday Evening

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

George didn't usually pay a lot of attention to the flickering box in all the Common Rooms, but when he wandered in to find some food this evening, the box caught his attention.

It seemed to be some kind of sports match?  With the little men on ice hitting each other and whacking at a little black puck.

Huh.  He sat down on the couch, curious at the little men.  Oh yeah, totally cheering for the guys in red. They just looked so much cooler.



[Shut up, I have been waiting for new hockey for SO LONG.]

No longer wanting to be stuck in his room, Alex wandered down the hall and spotted someone in the common room. When he realized it was someone he didn't hate, he stepped inside, eyes going to the television.

"Hockey, really?" he asked, the words coming out a bit more snappy than intended. He needed to sleep.

"Is that what 'tis called?" George asked. "Twas just on. They're flyin' around."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Uh, yeah," he said, nodding. "They gotta put the puck in the net while figure skating."

Not quite.

"...Hockey?" Jennifer said, peeking into the common room. "Oh, hey George."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Jen," he said with a little smile. "Tha's what Alex an' the teevee says."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Well, I always trust what the TV says," Jennifer said. "Plus, it does look like hockey. Or a boxing match on ice."

Bobby was not in the greatest of moods (thank you, Ethics class) when he wandered into the second floor common room. But hockey was enough to brighten said mood, at least a little.

"Who's playing?" he asked as he made his way to the couch, forgetting for a moment that George might not actually know that particular detail.

"Th' guys in red against th' guys in white," George informed him helpfully. "I'm likin' the guys in red though. Hi Bobby."

[longislandiceme]

"Detroit," Bobby said, after glancing down at the bottom of the screen. "Other guys are Chicago." Because that would mean so much to the guy not from this world. "Hey, George," he added after a second.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea," Jennifer said. "Hey Bobby."

[longislandiceme]

"Detroit and Chicago," Bobby answered his own question after glancing at the screen. "Hey Jennifer."

"So do you have any idea what's going on?" Zach asked. "I don't know anything about hockey."

[streetartsurfer.livejournal.com]

Zach was pretty sure it was okay to go into common rooms on other floors, so he didn't feel bad about wandering into the one on the second floor. "Oh," he said, "hockey." He frowned for a moment at the screen, but decided that not knowing the game was no excuse to avoid being social.

"Is it any good?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"I'm likin' it," George said. "Never did see any before. Th' men in red seem t'be th' best. But they're down by a net now."

Even though his room was on five, Jack still tended to wander down to the fifth floor at mealtime. And so it was that he was here tonight, watching men skating in pursuit of a black disc.

"What game is this, then?" he asked the room idly.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Evenin', Jack," George said with a little wave. "They're callin' it hockey? Th' guys in red are th' best."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Jack," Alex said, giving him a nod. "How's it going?"

Sookie peeked her head in, eyeing the TV. "Aw, you had to pick the one sport I know nothin' about, huh?"

[longislandiceme]

"Yup," Bobby said cheekily. "It was George's idea."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Twas already on!" George protested.

If Zayne were from the freaking forest moon of Endor, Zayne might somewhat recognize what was happening on the screen. But he wasn't. So he didn't.

"What are you watching?" Zayne asked, curious about the skating.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Tis hockey, 'm learnin'," George told him. "Th' little men on skates do fly around on th'ice and try t'score."

[streetartsurfer.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Zayne!" Zach said brightly, happy to see someone he knows his big sibling. "How's it going?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I hear cheering." Robin said, coming into the room. "What's on?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Where's th' cheering?" George asked curiously.
