3rd floor common room | late afternoon | wednesday | 20 january

Jonas was finished with classes for the week. Despite having been on the island for awhile now, having copious amounts of free time was still a foreign concept. He wasn't expected to volunteer everyday in preparation for his Assignment or to spend set amounts of time anywhere. He could just do what he wanted.

That thought had led him into the common room to be able to spread a few books on a few different subjects out. Some of the books were hidden (because they were...embarrassing to say the least) and some were more outwardly visible (and less embarrassing).

Of course, despite the multitude of things to keep him busy, Jonas kept letting his mind wander off into next week's class and what might his greatest fear might be. The answer was hidden deep inside his mind and Jonas was steadfastly ignoring it.

Turning on the television helped that. It also meant his reading kept distracting from the television and the television from the reading. It was a vicious circle.

"Hello, Blysee. Hello, Blind Seer," Jonas said, giving them each a smile. "How are you both today?"

"Well enough," Firekeeper admitted. "Just- there is little to do. So, we look for company."

"You've found me. I don't know how I qualify as far as company goes but I'm here," he said, laughing a little. "Are you finished with classes for the week too? My last one was today."

She nodded. "Mine is only on- first and second day," she frowned, pausing in the middle there to try and remember the names of the days, and then giving up.

"You have more free time than I do, I think." It probably evened out in the end but it still seemed like longer. "I almost wonder if it's better to be in class when something like this is on."

He nodded towards the soap opera silliness. "I have no idea what's going on."

Firekeeper just stared at the screen, trying to follow what was going on in the story.

"They was yelling only moments ago," she observed. "And now they look as if they are about to mate." Human behavior was so strange.

"Yes, exactly!" Jonas whole heartedly agreed on the human behavior. "They've done that a few times. And when they're not yelling or kissing, they're crying. I didn't know that many emotions could be expressed in such a short amount of time without getting whiplash."

"I have seen such, in those who was- not well, in the mind," Firekeeper admitted. "Perhaps these ones is also so?"

"It would make more sense than thinking they're right of mind and that this is normal," Jonas said, shooting the television a look of confusion. "I guess this qualifies as entertaining for some? I can't see it."

"I enjoy much television," Firekeeper admitted. "It is nice to have stories without reading. But these stories-" she wrinkled her nose at the screen. "Are not so good."

"They're not." But he glanced at her curiously. "What sort of television do you like? I haven't really found anything that's caught my attention for long."

"Darkest Night," Firekeeper told him. "Is a show about vampires. It is very not-real at times, but in a way that is fun," she frowned, hoping that explanation made sense.

"Vampires?" The word pinged familiar but it took him a moment to remember what exactly a vampire was. "That's a...person who drinks blood? Supposedly, I mean."

Firekeeper nodded. "Creatures in stories from this world," she said. She knew they were real, in some realities at least, but was pretty sure such things weren't supposed to be general knowledge. "Most is supposed to be wicked creatures, but this one is a 'detective', who help people."

Jonas figured if Firekeeper liked something, he'd probably like it too. He made a mental note to find this program. "And people don't yell and then kiss every five minutes, confusing everyone attempting to watch it for the first time?"

[identity profile] kestrelswolf.livejournal.com 2010-01-20 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Firekeeper laughed. "There is none of such," she assured him. "New episodes is coming soon!"

Her enjoyment was obvious and Jonas couldn't stop the grin from appearing on his own face. "Perhaps my brain will have forgotten this show by then. I'll have time to prepare. I am glad to hear there is good entertainment here. I was beginning to think books were going to be all I had."
