Second Floor Common Room | Tuesday Evening

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

Griff had apparently missed the Darkest Night premiere the evening before. This was probably because he spent too much time reading stupid novels in his room.

So tonight he was in the common room, his tiny self flopped on a sofa, and discovering there really was nothing interesting on the television. "I should've brought a book with me," he lamented into his coffee mug.

It would be wrong to teleport back to the room for one, right?

[OMM it's been too long since I've done one of these!]

Sookie wandered in after perusing her own common room and deciding, uncharacteristically grumpy at the lack of people upstairs, just wandered down floor by floor until she found someone.

"Griff," she lamented, heading for the fridge, "why is the week after vacation so boring and empty?"

His head lolled against the back of the sofa, leaning to see her in the kitchen. "Because vacation was too great for normalcy to even start to compare?"

"I think that has to be it. I had to go down three floors to find someone to talk to!" she said woefully.

"What's up, roomie?" Alex asked, giving Griff's head a flick before sitting down beside him. "Sulking?"

Mirax was just opening her mouth to say when she looked at the TV and realized, "You know I don't know that I've ever been in a common room when the TV was off?"

"Karev," Griff greeted him with a sigh. "There's no sulking when you're around."

"Usually I find them full of television watching and food combined. Unlucky for you, I don't cook," Griff replied with a little tilt of his head.

"I know, I am the life of the party," he said, propping his feet up. "Thought maybe you'd miss me. You can't seem to get enough of me, after all."

"Obviously the second floor is the place for people...with nothing better to do tonight," he said with a little smile. "But talking fixes that, right?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"You're the one following me," Griff pointed out. "Not taking advantage of the lack of me in the room."

"But why would I need you to cook when I can do it myself?" she pointed out. "See, I'm plenty lucky."

"What, were you hoping I'd find a girl to bang while you were down here?" Alex asked, snickering. "Jealous?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"And the TV?" she wondered, tilting her head.

"We're all bored," Sookie told the unfamiliar boy, smiling cheerfully at him. "Did you bring entertainment?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I don't provide the entertainment," he said, taking a nice long look at the new girl, "I partake in it."

"Nothing on TV at all?" Jennifer said. "Wow, the future is lame sometimes."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"I dare you to find something watchable," he told her.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"And what would you consider entertaining?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I don't like being in here by myself without some sound on," Sookie contributed. "And then people file in from there."

"I'm never jealous of you, Karev," he said, smiling in spite of himself. "We've got differing tastes."

"Tuesdays are bad, hon," she said, shaking her head. "Your best bet's gonna be like, VH1 or trying to find a movie."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Ah, then you should make something," Griff decided. "Since you cook and all."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Or just Tuesdays," he countered. "But my lame might not be your lame."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"What're you offering?" Alex asked, leaning back and getting comfortable. "This like a thing with you? Meeting new people with some entertainment?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Even that channel that shows Space Battles on a constant loop seems to have tonight off," he sighed. "I don't know if Behind the Blow would counter that."
