Third Floor Common Room [Saturday Morning]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

True to her promise to Dinah, Claire slipped quietly out of the room when she woke up on Saturday morning, wanting to give her roommate time to get rest and completely unaware of anything amiss in Fandom.

She decided to make pancakes and figured the smell of food would draw in people, so she started making a rather large batch.



[open common room is open with pancakes. mmm pancakes. Claire is herself, obviously.]

Eddie was looking around for an exit when he was distracted by the smell of food. Hopefully free food. And not just because he couldn't find his wallet.

He threw a playful little dance step into his walk when he saw the blonde. "Good morning."

"Hi," Claire said, turning to look at... well, okay then. He sounded like Priestly or Dean but he certainly didn't look like either of them at the moment. Maybe Priestly was gremlin bit?

"Um, would you like some pancakes?"

[lovemykilt]

Dean or Priestly if one of them had eaten a giant ball of smarm, sure. "I would love some pancakes. It's so nice of you to offer." He danced in a small circle, looking around. "Is there a radio in here? We need music!"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sure," Claire said, pointing in the direction of said radio. "Are you new around here?" she asked.

Dinah Lance, aka Black Canary, had awakened in costume, in what looked like a college dorm room. Some investigation had determined that the room was in Maryland, and probably a school named Fandom.

Aaaand Oracle wasn't answering her calls. Great. Time to investigate.

She headed down the hallway, and paused when she reached a common area near the stairs. "Hi. Those smell good." She tried a rueful smile. "Do you mind telling me, where am I, exactly?"

[lovemykilt]

Ooo, and a fancy set up that was, too. Eddie G. might be in luck. "Very," he said, making his way over and flipping through -- what was that noise? -- until he found something with a decent horn and string section. "Which explains how I haven't noticed you around, before."

[lovemykilt]

"You," said Eddie G., "are in luck." She'd found him, hadn't she? "Hellooo there."

Seriously, there were like, waves of smarm coming off this guy.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

That... sounded like a come-on. Oh boy.

Claire gave him a faint smile. "What brings you to Fandom?" she asked.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire frowned a bit at the girl. There was something familiar about her.

"You're in Fandom," she said. "It's a school."

Apparently it was one of those weekends.

Dinah gave him a deadpan look in response. Okay, she had terrible taste in men, but there were levels she wasn't going to explore... again. "Hey," she said with some reserve. "Nice kimono. I'm Black Canary. Know anything about this place?"

[lovemykilt]

"No idea," said Eddie G. cheerfully. "I suspect it was probably a bottle of champaign."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah and the Black Canary looked alike in that could-be-cousins, might-be-sisters way, but the expressions were different; plus the Black Canary was a good ten years older than Dinah. (Well, more. Let's not talk about that trip into the Lazarus Pit. It was upsetting.)

"In Maryland, I figured that part out... what kind of school?" Dinah asked warily. "And how would I have gotten here without realizing it?"

[lovemykilt]

He could work with deadpan. "Woke up in a room where this --" he gestured to the kimono while doing a little rhamba kind of thing, "-- was the classiest thing on offer. Thankfully I had the wisdom to go look for better things."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire nodded. "You want me to put on a pot of coffee? Also, I'm Claire. I didn't catch your name?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Okay, so not just her. And unless supervillains were getting very weird (and let's face it, they did that every other week) she couldn't see what she and Kimono Boy had in common. "I'm Black Canary. So I'm guessing you haven't run into any drug runners, weapons dealers, or aspiring terrorists who brought you here and left you a snazzy dressing gown in order to throw you off fighting crime?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's a little harder to explain," Claire admitted. "Chances are you're only going to be here for a couple of days though. Weird things tend to happen around here."

[lovemykilt]

"Mmm, you know just how to talk to a man." Eddie G. continued to dance, but flashed her grins whenever he was facing her direction. "Eddie G., at your service. Has anyone ever told you you should be in movies?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Really," Black Canary said, eyes narrowing in interest as she leaned forward.

Also, there were pancakes. And crimefighting required calories.

"Like what kind of weird things?"

[lovemykilt]

Eddie G. laughed. "Fighting crime? Why would I want to do that?"

Kate had already had a few yet to be played out weird encounters by the time she made it to the common room.

Which would explain the "Oh please tell me you're Claire" that escaped her lips as soon as she spotted the other girl.

She came in, frying pan held loosely in one hand as she opened the door of the fridge, pulling out an egg out and turning it over in her hand.

"This is your brain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyXFN4ocN_o)," she began, setting it on the counter carefully before launching into the rest of her tirade, destroying some dishes which had not been there a moment before.

When she was done, she dropped her frying pan on the counter, looking at everyone in the room. "Any questions?" she asked, before turning and walking out of the room.


[Yes, Makita is the 'Brain on Drugs' girl. This is what happens when people enable me in chat.]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

And there would be a vastly confused Claire staring at the girl.

"Gee, thanks for leaving me your dishes!" she called out when the girl left.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Who's Claire?" she joked. "Sorry, Kate, yeah it's me. But, um, you and I seem to be in the minority."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Black Canary quirked an eyebrow at him and said dryly, "No, you're right. I can't think of a reason why you'd want to fight crime either. You're so pretty just the way you are."

[vanillajello]

Kate groaned. "So it's full-on insanity again, huh? Fucking Fandom."
