Third Floor Common Room- Thursday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina had decided to go home for the weekend, and at the moment, she was packed, caught up on everything she had to do for the moment. She came out to the common room, intent on dinner, then gave up after a quick search of the fridge and just ordered pizza. Really, she was going to spend a while eating military rations and something like gruel. She was going for something good tonight, even if there was way too much for just her.

And once channel surfing landed her on a Mythbusters rerun, she decided this was a pretty good way to spend a night before she had to go be all militaristic and professional.


[Open! Pizza is shareable and I need to do something that has nothing to do with RL.]

"Yo," Kennedy said, wandering in like this was her common room. "That pizza for sharing?"

[solo_sword]

"As long as there's still some there, go for it," she said, waving vaguely towards the pizza. "I should probably have gotten something smaller, but I think that goes against common room law."

[brat_inslayage]

"There's food, it's a common room, it's fair game, right?" Kennedy snagged a slice in each hand and sprawled out in a chair. "Hey, are they blowing things up on this one?"

Mythbusters was one of her favorite things about living in the future.

"Probably," Jaina said. "I guess it's the YouTube special? I have no idea what they're doing on any of this." Because Jaina was not cool and did not spend her life online.

Ben had been out for a wander when he noticed a familiar presence. He ducked back downstairs and returned with a box. Inside was a slightly heavy flight helmet and a joystick.

He held it out to Jaina. "Happy belated birthday," he said, blushing.

[solo_sword]

Jaina smiled as she took the box. "You didn't have to do that," she told him.

"I would have been on time if I could keep track of how fast your calendar keeps moving," he said. "I'm sorry."

[solo_sword]

"Don't worry about it. Not only is my time going kind of weird, but I didn't really tell anyone," she assured him. "Can I open this here?"

Yakko ran into the common room and suddenly stopped.

"It's that time again!" After a brief pause, he continued, as if addressing someone who wasn't there. "No, it's time to learn the day's lesson! And to find out what it is, we turn to... The Wheel of Morality!" Yakko motioned towards the door, where a large wheel with 'The Wheel of Morality' written on it in huge letters drifted in.

"Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn," Yakko recited as he spun the wheel. "Tell us the lesson that we should learn." As the spinning wheel slowed down and landed on the number 2, a sheet of paper was printed from a slot on the side. Yakko went to his next line as he grabbed the sheet of paper. "Moral Number Two. And the moral of today's story is... Where there's a will, there's a bunch of relatives arguing in a lawyer's office."

Yakko shrugged, darted out of the room, and the wheel disappeared out into the hallway a moment later.

Jaina watched this, head tilted, and for a moment after he left, she just frowned.

"That actually makes a lot of sense," she said.

[momslilassassin]

"That doesn't stop being strange," Ben commented as Yakko ran off.

[brat_inslayage]

"What the hell?" Those were the first words out of Kennedy's mouth as soon as she was done staring. Which took a while, for the record. "God, this place is freaking crazy."

"What's goin' on in here?" Hayley said, peering in.

"Is this that show where they blow everything up?"

[solo_sword]

"It is," Jaina said. "It's that kind of night."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley bounced in. "Can I join ya?" she said. "I'd love to watch it too."

[solo_sword]

"Sure. Grab some pizza if you're hungry," she offered.

Bobby was still feeling out of sorts about today's Ethics class, so he wandered in to the common room in search of distraction. And found pizza! Excellent.

"I hope you didn't make this yourself," he teased. Yes, he could see the takeout boxes. He was just being a pest.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Well, at least if she did, you didn't!" Hayley teased, waving from her spot on the couch.

[longislandiceme]

"I've seen Jaina try to cook," Bobby pointed out. "It might be an improvement, but not by much."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Pretty shallow praise," Hayley said. "Would your mom like you talking like that?"

She grinned an innocent grin.

[brat_inslayage]

"Yo, Boy Scout Bobby," Kennedy called, waving. She was never going to stop calling him that ever. "Haven't seen you in a while."

[longislandiceme]

"Kennedy," Bobby rolled his eyes in lieu of a wave. He was not a Boy Scout damnit. "I've been practicing my invisibility powers, that's why."

[brat_inslayage]

"You have--" Consider the scowl adequate payback for the eyeroll-inducement, Bobby. "You're trying to mess with me, aren't you?"

[solo_sword]

"Don't worry, I don't hate everyone enough to cook for them," she promised.

[longislandiceme]

"Awww, I don't rate food poisoning. I'm glad you think so highly of me, Jaina. And our fellow students," he waved a hand dismissively. "But mostly I'm glad about the me part."
