First Floor Lobby - Throughout the Day

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

There was a cart set up in the lobby. Not just any cart, no, but a magical cart of caffeine and sweet sugary goodness. Oh yes, it was Student Council's Finals Week coffee cart, and the Perk and J. GOB had outdid themselves in their offerings to the magical cart of caffeine.

Also George was around when he wasn't taking his Sex Ed final. And if you thought he wasn't overdosing on caffeine and sugary goods, well, clearly you have never met the magical cart of caffeine and sweet sugary goodness.

"Hello, George," Mat said, coming down the stairs. "Is the food free?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Tis," George said with a nod. "Tis for Finals because yer s'posed t'be keepin' up yer strength."

Or...something.

Mat blinked. "Was I not supposed to be eating the rest of the time?"

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"I jus' think they're not so worried about it other times?" he reasoned. "But mayhap everyone jus' needs caffeine if they're worried about their tests?"

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

"Am I supposed to be worried about my tests?" Mat replied. "Deadpool's mad and we might very well be fighting giant enraged stockings of some kind, but I cannot see how worrying will help matters."

George shrugged. "I think some of them from this world might be? Jean keeps talkin' about some school ye have t'get into after this one."

Mat wrinkled up his nose. "No thank you. Reading books isn't for me."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Nay," George agreed. "Though tis useful of a time, but not th' books th' classes give."

He paused. "I do be wantin' t'fight enraged stockings now."

Mat had read a book! Once! Maybe!

"Maybe later this week," Mat said with a laugh. "It would be more interesting than the hats that showed up yesterday."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Aye, well, if they're goin' t'be things stuck t'me head, I want 'em at least t'be interestin'," George agreed.

Not that he could think of anything.

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

"Like horns or something?" Mat asked.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Long as they go away eventually," he said, snickering. "They'd be a bit noticeable. Hard t'sneak around wit' somethin' like that."

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

"We could get you a really nice hat," Mat decided.

Oh look. It was Mat. How grand. Karla tried to hide behind her coffee cup, but her cheeks were probably lit up like a warning light. Now that she was no longer enchanted, she realized what a right idiot she had made herself out to be with him.

Hell's fire, Mother Night, and may the Darkness be merciful.

Okay. She just needed to go over there and explain.

...In a minute.

Mat took a sip from his cup of coffee and nearly spit it back out.

Half was because it was his first cup of coffee ever and he hadn't been prepared for the bitterness, but the other part was because he'd just spotted Karla.

He wandered if he could smoothly make a break for the door.

[glacial_queen]

Karla could tell when Mat had spotted her. The spittake was a giveaway, as was the caged panic that rose in his eyes. "Wait!" she said, holding up her hand. "Don't go! I don't love you anymore!"

Way to yell that across the room like a holdover from the previous weekend, Karla.

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

Most people don't look that relieved to hear it.

"Oh, thank the Light," he said.

[glacial_queen]

"Well, I usually thank the Darkness, but the sentiment's the same," Karla assured him. "There was a spell. It's been removed. I'm not in love with you. I'm not in love with anyone."

He was still pretty hot handsome though. And a good kisser. Karla wasn't blind.

"Sorry for scaring you?" she offered.

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't scared," Mat said loftily. "I just wasn't expecting to hear you say something like that."

Big liar.

[glacial_queen]

"You weren't?" Karla asked, arching an eyebrow at him. "Then why did you yell like a little girl the other day? Not planning on joining the Brotherhood of the Quill, are you?"

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

"The which?" Mat asked. Unwisely.

[glacial_queen]

"Never mind." Karla had a feeling that this was probably not a conversation they should have right now. "A group back home. Of males. Who've been shaved. You know, I'm just gonna stop talking about it."

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

Mat, thinking of the Seanchan and their ridiculous haircuts, just nodded along like he had any idea what she was talking about. "We could just agree that the other day never happened?" he offered.

[glacial_queen]

"What day?" Karla asked, shrugging her shoulders. "I don't think I've really seen much of you since Kellermans."

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

Mat's grin looked much less strained. "And how have you been?" he asked.
