Second Floor Common Room, Friday evening

Dinah had managed to get a copy of Richard III and cued it up, and now had big bowls of popcorn ready for throwing or munching. She'd sent out a handwavey e-mail to fellow cast members, in case they wanted to watch it too.

She hadn't noticed it yet, but one of the bowls was about to walk off as a hat worn by an adorable little fuzzy thing.

[open to all!]

Jennifer paused as she entered the common room.

"...That bowl is moving," she said, not noticing the fuzzy thing.

"The bowl is-- hey!" Dinah turned, and held out a hand to TK the bowl back to herself.

The little fuzzy kept walking, then realized it was missing its food-hat, and turned around to object in squeaky tones. "What the...?"

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Jennifer was just as startled.

"Whoa. Fuzzy food thief," she said. "Don't think it's a fellow student, do you?"

The little guy blinked at them cutely, then toddled forward, arms out toward the popcorn bowl again, chirruping. "I don't think so... Hey, little guy. You anyone we know?" Dinah asked, throwing a kernel of popcorn at it.

It hopped up and caught the popcorn in its mouth, then giggled and rubbed its tummy. "Awwww."

"Well, whatever it is, it's cute," Jennifer said, walking closer. "You lost, little guy?"

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Dinah noticed another one determinedly heading for the other popcorn bowl, and started to laugh. "Okay, if we feed you guys, will you leave the popcorn here?" The second, lighter-colored one peered over the sofa at her, then started to bounce. "Cool. Jen, you want a drink?"

Griff couldn't hide out in his room forever. Dinah was so lucky she'd set up on the second floor. He fell onto a chair and lifted a hand in greeting. "What's on?"

And then spied the small fuzzy. "Other than more odd Fandom stuff."

"Please," Jennifer said. "So what are we watching... is that Shakespeare?"

She tilted her head. The visual interpretation was definitely... striking.

Dinah grinned over from her place at the fridge, and said, "Shakespeare. The movied of the play we're putting on this semester. Want a drink?" She'd grabbed a Beaver Buzz for herself. "Good to see you, Griff."

"Richard III," Dinah said, wandering over with her drink, and taking a handful of popcorn as she settled in on the couch. The cute thing sat next to her, and peered at the TV screen. "The play we're doing at the Boards this semester. Sam's playing Richard. Tony's supposed to be here pretty soon, we always watch the movie early on in the run so we can figure out kinda what we're doing."

"Sure, drinking anything special?" Not that he was normally picky, though alcohol would be nice. "How're you feeling?"

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Beaver Buzz," which probably came out a little too wistful. "Um. Super-caffienated cola and citrus drinks." Dinah popped the top on one and said, "Good as new! Have some popcorn, too." She floated a bowl over to him. "I never came by to say 'thanks' for everything last week. I really, really appreciated it."

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, cool," Jennifer said, taking the drink. "I'll definitely have to see that. So this is sort of the... search for inspiration?"

[identity profile] youcantfollow.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"No worries," he shrugged, accepting some popcorn from the bowl. "Wasn't all that difficult or anything - just what I do." Griff thought he was doing an excellent job with having a conversation where he didn't feel the need to yell, hit someone, or flee. Dinah rocked.

Jennifer gave Griff a nod. "Dinah's the one in charge of the TV, I think," she greeted.

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
"And translation." Dinah grinned a little. "It's not like the language is exactly easy to figure out. You really do need to see it in person, not read it. Even after three plays, I'll take any help I can get on these." She cocked her head. "So how are you classes going this semester?"

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, the 'jumping', maybe not. Even though I know you try to keep that private." Dinah hopped over the back of the couch, and sat down, handing over a drink to Griff. "But hanging out afterward-- that was cool of you. Or Azula and I might have gotten into it again as soon as I got taped up." She toasted him with her drink. "So cheers."

[identity profile] youcantfollow.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Cheers," he agreed, popping his soda and lifting it in turn. "Azula seems pretty cool. She stuck up for me in class this week."

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Good point," Jennifer said. "I'm no actress, so I hadn't even thought about that. Very smart of you, actually."

She smiled, settling into a seat. "Classes are good. Law and Order was a little weird today, though, wasn't it?"

[identity profile] youcantfollow.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Probably for the best, I never can keep up with any of the programs," Griff admitted.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Me either," Jennifer said. "I keep missing episodes because of work or studying. Good thing I'll get a second chance at this year's TV, right?"

Dinah managed not to choke on her drink, then made an equivocating gesture with her hand. She took another sip, thinking, then said, "She can be. You caught us on one of her bad days there, but. She was a good teacher, while I was studying stuff with her." She gave him a cautious look. "You gotta be careful with her, though."

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
"A little," Dinah said, shaking her head. "You know who those two guys remind me of?" Aside from a dog and a rabbit, that was. "The weird weekends we get here, sometimes. Hard to know how real they are."

[identity profile] youcantfollow.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Training accidents can happen with anyone," Griff pointed out, not so easily cautioned away from things.

[identity profile] not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com 2010-01-23 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Jennifer said. "It's like they walked out of... I don't know, a Saturday Morning cartoon. The kind your parents didn't want you watching."
