second floor common room | late morning | thursday | january 14

After getting into it with Griff last night, Alex had gone straight to the mainland. A few hours, a lot of alcohol and one warm bed later, he was back on the island, eating cereal and watching something mindless on television.

All things considered, his face didn't look too bad. A few bruises, a split lip, and some minor pain could be considered a minor success considering Griff and his stupid powers had sent him head first into his desk. Still, didn't mean he wasn't still pissed off. He was just trying not to show it.

Nope, he was fine. His classes were done, he had cereal, his hangover wasn't that bad, and he knew he'd gotten in a good few punches in on Griff. Just fine.

[of course it's open!]

Jack wandered downstairs to make himself a sandwich, and gave Alex a second look before opening the fridge. He'd seen the squirrel notes about the fight, of course, but it was hard for him to imagine Alex or Griff genuinely trying to hurt the other.

Karev's face wasn't horribly beaten or anything, but he could see enough to surmise that he was at least half wrong about that.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, sounding a shade more concerned about Alex's well-being than he normally was. He shared girlfriends with the guy; in a weird way, that made him almost family.

"Eh." And since it was Jack, Alex could be a little more honest with how he was feeling. He didn't mind the other guy knowing if he was having that bad a day. "The cereal's good, at least. Can't find a damn thing on television. I can't even find a good game show."

It was fun to make fun of the contestants, okay?
bitten_notshy: ([neu] vaguely bemused)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-01-14 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Isn't it time for that one where people have to guess the prices of things?" Jack asked, slightly bemused by Alex's answer. Acknowledge the bad day and move on, yes. "I don't hate that."

"Hey, you're right," Alex said, grabbing for the remote and flipping until he landed on the game show in indication. "I love this one. I suck at it but I still love it."

He didn't know exactly why but it was a lot less grating than the one with the big wheel. "What's up with you, Jack? Gonna be hearing that voice of yours on the radio every week now?"

"Morning."

Ender occasionally had to make a show of venturing out of his room. This was it.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] intense + golden)

"At least you grew up with this kind of money," Jack pointed out, waving at the screen. "I have no perspective. But it's funny to see how excited people get."

He shrugged at the question. "I don't think so? I guess I'll know if the squirrels grab us again next week. How did we sound?"

... the ego demanded that question.

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Morning to you too," Alex said, glancing over at Ender. "Welcome to the common room. We have cereal today. It's decent."

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not too bad. I only listened this morning though," he admitted, shrugging. "Too drunk and busy last night. Whales having sex with each other would have sounded fine to me last night. You two have a good back and forth, though. I wasn't bored."
bitten_notshy: ([neg] unimpressed in hat)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-01-14 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Jack was appropriately impressed, yes.

"Morning," he returned. "Are you any good at this game?"

On the TV screen, some housewife was biting her nails to the quick as she tried to decide if a washer-dryer cost more or less than a flat screen TV. Jack had no idea whatsoever.

"And here I was hoping for stale," Ender deadpanned, walking into the kitchen.
endsthegame: (is a little brilliant)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-01-14 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm good at a lot of games," Ender said, shooting the TV a wry look, "But I'm not sure I see the point of getting a handle on this one."
bitten_notshy: ([neu] on the edge)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-01-14 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well," Jack said dryly, "I'm glad we were more interesting than whales having sex. And thank you."

He glanced over at Alex again. "I see the notes about your fight weren't totally the product of a squirrel's fever dream."
bitten_notshy: ([neu] considering this)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-01-14 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"It'll help the next time you buy large appliances?" Jack suggested, after a show of thinking hard about it. "Which I'm sure was high on your agenda for the weekend."

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"You look hard enough, I'm sure you could find stale and alive in one of these kitchens," he said, propping his feet on the table and crossing them at the ankle. "Looking to chip some teeth this morning?"

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, you noticed that?" Alex asked, joking a little and trying not to grin too much. That did make his lip hurt. "And here I thought I covered it all with my makeup."

Or not.

"Something like that," he said, then added, lightly, "My roommate made me a droid that fetches me breakfast. Figured I needed to show him I was made of sterner stuff." Not true.

Ben poked his head into the common room, hair still damp from the shower after his weekly ass-kicking by his grandfather.

"Is there anything to eat?" he asked with a little smile.
endsthegame: (*snerk*)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2010-01-14 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'd like to think that if I buy large appliances, they'll be clearly marked, taped and stapled for the ignorant likes of me."

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Droid?" Alex asked, having not been exposed to any real mechanical geniuses. "Like an android?"
bitten_notshy: ([neu] always on guard)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-01-14 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Unfortunately I have very keen eyes," Jack said, not entirely joking. "Don't worry. You're still the prettiest."

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"I found cereal," Alex told him, holding up the bowl. "It's not gourmet but I haven't keeled over yet."
bitten_notshy: ([neu] listening)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-01-14 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"And here I thought you would build anything you wanted in a cave, from a box of scraps. You let me down, Ender."
momslilassassin: ([pos] heh. i laugh at you)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2010-01-14 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sounds like an endorsement to me," Ben replied, rummaging through the cabinets and coming out with a box of his own. "Do you mind if I make coffee?"

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I knew that," he said and laughed despite the pain. "The notes weren't wrong though, no. Every guy needs to get his hand dirty every once in awhile, right? Chicks dig scars. Makes them want to provide some comfort."

In some cases it did. Alex knew of a few who'd take a look at him and just laugh and say he'd gotten what he deserved.
bitten_notshy: ([pos] 'cause I'm cute)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-01-14 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"And I made a cheese sandwich," Jack added. "Also neither gourmet nor fatal."
