3rd floor Common Room, Monday evening

[heromaniac]

Bored, bored, bored!

Momoko was sick and tired of being sick and tired. She was in no mood to sit in her room a minute longer than necessary, either, so after dropping off her books, she headed straight for the common room.

A big bowl of sharable fresh popped kettle popcorn later, she was relaxed on a couch, flipping through a magazine while the TV was on scan, looking for something that could draw her attention way from tomorrow's horoscopes, today's hairstyles, and yesterday's shoes.






[OPEN! come visit! have some popcorn. complain when the scan hits the snowy channels.]

"Whatcha doin'?" Jaime asked as he wandered into the common room and spotted the hyper redhead. He wasn't sure if he should regret not seeing her during the Halloween candy spree, or be grateful for it.

[heromaniac]

Momoko glanced over the ad for a really cute pair of sandals. "Jaime! Hi!" She grinned and turned the magazine around to show him. "Reading about totally cute shoes! I got bored of being in my room. How have you been? I've totally missed talking with you!"

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime leaned forward to examine the ad. "I don't think those are really my color," he mused. "But maybe they'd work for you. And it has been a while, huh. Why haven't you visited me?" Because it was totally Momoko's fault.

"What's goin' on in here?" Hayley said, wandering in. She was wearing a white tank with suspenders. It just seemed to suit her. "Aaaanything fun?"

[heromaniac]

"Hey! I've been sick. Why haven't you visited me?" Momoko smacked him lightly with the magazine for his silliness, then looked him up and down a moment. "And they'd be for me of course! Although, you with the right colour dress..."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Hey," Jaime's whine didn't really match his amused smirk. "And I didn't know you were sick! You totally should have told me and I'd have made you soup or something."

[heromaniac]

Well, if you considered talking to people, having popcorn, reading fashion magazines, and over a hundred channels of an alternate world's television programming to scan through for something interesting fun, then, oh, heck yeah!

Luckily Momoko did. She grinned and waved.

"Hi! I'm Momoko, have we met yet? Want some popcorn?"

[heromaniac]

She shrugged. "I was sick! You should have just known that there was something wrong with the whole balance of the universe!" Momoko blew a sigh and pouted at him a moment, then winked. "And if your soup is as good as your chili, you don't have to wait until I'm sick to make me some. So, what's up with you lately?"

She made room for him to sit if he wanted to join her on the couch.

"I don't think we have," Hayley admitted, after thinking a second. She grinned back. "I'm Hayley, and I think I'd love some!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"I ate too much Halloween candy. But now I'm thinking about bakingsome brownies." But he still flopped down on the couch, bumping her lightly as he did so.

Her ginger senses were tingling, so Jean happened to pop on into the common room in search of Diet Coke and maybe something low fat to eat.

Because she was sickening like that.

"Oh! Hello."

[heromaniac]

"It's really good! Not at all burnt, I promise! I made sure to listen for the pops!" Momoko ensured her as she waved her over. "Come on! Yay, new person! I'm always surprised at how many people there are here that I don't know! And it's such a small school, too!"

[heromaniac]

Momoko shivered at the words 'diet' and 'low-fat' waved cheerily at the fellow redhead. "Hi! If you want any, I've got a bunch of popcorn over here! Already popped and everything!"

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you already got it made..."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I guess it's cause this isn't normally my floor," Hayley said. "It's a nice floor, though. Nice and... homey."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Hiiiii!" Hayley said, waving enthusiastically. "Come, join us!"

[heromaniac]

Momoko wasn't sure if he meant that bump or not, so she drew deep upon her training and experience... and elbowed him in return. "I managed to get dressed on Halloween night, but then I felt so bad I crawled back into bed again, so I missed the whole thing." She wasn't whining, her voice was just still a bit wobbly from the cold, yes. "No sweets for Momoko."

[weldedtomyspine]

"That is horrible," Jaime exclaimed while rubbing theatrically at his (oh-so-bruised-and-broken-now-thanks) ribs. "Then it sounds like there definitely has to be some brownie baking."

[heromaniac]

Momoko nodded. "Maybe! Well, welcome to the third floor! It's the best floor, of course!" She was a bit biased. "Which one do you live on?"

[heromaniac]

Oooh. Momoko heard some reluctance? "Already made and would totally be a WASTE if you didn't help eat it all. I made way too much. I don't want to throw it away..." Would that help? She tried to hold back a wink. Tried.

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Jean replied, waving back. "Is it a party?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, well, the fourth one," Hayley said. "It's pretty nice. But if this is the best floor, I guess you're right."

She found it easy to believe people.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I don't know about party," Hayley said. "But it sure is fun here."

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"In that case," Jean said with a grin. "I'm Jean."

[heromaniac]

Pleeeeeeeeeease?

"A week with no sweets makes Momoko sour," Momoko nodded solemnly. Then stuck out her tongue and grinned. "Quit it, I didn't hit you that hard! You really like to cook and bake, don't you? Do you maybe want to be a chef when you graduate?"
