5th Floor Common Room, Monday Night

[trigons_child]

Raven had a secret, one she hadn't shared with anyone. It was even more closely guarded than the whole being a demon thing. Raven, you see, had developed an addiction...to Rumor Gal.

So come Monday night, she slipped out to the common room, pleased to find it empty. She wasn't sure how to explain her obsession with the show. Some of the characters did terrible things to one another, but it was so rich with so many powerful emotions, and she enjoyed experiencing them vicariously. She was particularly drawn to the bad boy of the show for some reason, and, though she'd never admit it, she was anxious to find out if he and his girlfriend were involved in the threesome that was supposed to happen tonight.

She sat down on the couch, curling her legs under her, and flipped on the TV, munching on a plate of vegetables as she waited for the show to begin.


[*sigh* It's canon. Raven watches Gossip Girl religiously. :D Up a bit early so I don't forget, like I have for the past three Mondays.]

"Oooh, are you watching?" asked Hoshi, grinning when she saw Rumor Gal on the television. "I brought Thai food from that place in town if you're hungry."

[trigons_child]

Raven blushed. "Thai food? Do you have some without meat?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh! I have Pad Thai with tofu," said Hoshi, pulling a take-out container from her bag.

[trigons_child]

"Thank you, I would love some," Raven said, accepting the container. She glanced at the TV and said, "Is there something you wish to watch? I just sat down a moment ago."

"No, this is just fine. Rumor Gal is one of my favorite shows and there's a new episode tonight," said Hoshi, getting settled on the couch.

[trigons_child]

Raven was relieved; she didn't want to change the channel. "How long have you watched it?" she remarked casually.

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"I saw it for the first time last year, but I didn't really get hooked until I started catching up with the first season," said Hoshi. "I'd love to know who the Rumor Gal really is. Then again, I like spreading gossip myself."

[trigons_child]

"How were you able to watch the first season?" Raven asked, perking up. Someone needed to explain DVDs and Netflix to her.

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"I managed to get it on video," said Hoshi. "I'm sure you could get it on DVD, but I managed to download it on my last trip home. I've got all the previous seasons on a data PADD back in my room, if you ever want to borrow it."

"Oh, this show," Hayley said, making a face from the doorway.

"Cal really liked this."

[trigons_child]

"You do not like it?" Raven said. But now that she had the excuse of Hoshi wanting to watch it, she wasn't going to offer to change the channel.

"Oh, I didn't say that," Hayley said. "Just makes me think of him, I guess."

She sighed a little. "He was nice."

[trigons_child]

"I did not know him," Raven said. "I am sorry you miss him so much."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"OH, I wouldn't say that," Hayley said. "He was nice, but he wasn't that dreamy."

[trigons_child]

Raven was never sure how to read Hayley. Sometimes she was so confusing. "I see," she said slowly.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"He was nice, but there's plenty more where he came from, you know?" Hayley said, grinning.

She was hard to read probably because she was... unstable, really.

[trigons_child]

"I do not know where he was from," Raven said.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"It's a sayin', silly," Hayley said, giggling. "You know, there's plenty of other gorgeous people at the school."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"It's actually kind of weird to be watching it without Cal," said Hoshi.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's not like he owned the show or anything," Hayley said. "So I guess it shouldn't be weird."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"And I'm sure I got past weird the first time I had to run the newspaper meeting instead of him," said Hoshi. "Oh well. So, how are you doing? I haven't talked to you in a while."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm just peachy," Hayley said. "I been having lots of fun and everything. How about you? Kiss any girls lately?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Nope. There's been a sad lack of kissing in my life lately. My date at Homecoming didn't even kiss me, but that might have been a little weird if he did," said Hoshi.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"What a horrible date!" Hayley said. "That's not how you treat a pretty lady."

Hayley harrumphed. "Boys here are just so stupid."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"In his defense, his girlfriend just left, and according to radio she came back this weekend. So I'm glad he didn't try to kiss me. I feel awkward enough about it," said Hoshi.
