3rd Floor Common Room [Saturday Evening]

[longislandiceme]

True to what he'd said last night, Bobby was spending tonight doing much the same thing: that is, hanging out in a common room with a bag full of chocolate, aimlessly flipping through channels and hoping people would stop by and be entertaining.

Sookie was bored. Thus, she wandered all the way down from her own floor until she found one that had someone or something interesting in it.

Thankfully, this one had Bobby and chocolate. Score. "Are you sharing?"

[longislandiceme]

"With you?" Bobby grinned. "Always."

"And what if I brought Tina down here? Would she get any?" Sookie paused thoughtfully as she found a spot on the couch to sit. "Wait, can cats have chocolate? Is that a thing? I know dogs can't."

Tara, restless after a few days and no more word from Kennedy, took Mr. Moxy and went in search of company.

"Hey," she said, flopping onto a seat and staring at the TV with the kitten still on her lap. "So, uh, are we watching anything?"

[longislandiceme]

"Nothing in particular," Bobby admitted. "Only thing interesting on is that crime show where they do autopsies a lot," he wrinkled his nose. "Can't watch that while I'm eating," he gestured to the chocolate.

Tara wrinkled her nose. "Yeah, it makes my tummy all icky," she said. "I'm -- not such a fan of blood. And I'm not even eating."

"The TV," Sookie said with a smile. "But aside from that, I'm not sure we're being specific tonight. Who's this cutie?" she added with a nod to the kitten.

"Oh, you haven't met Mr. Moxy yet?" Tara asked, setting the kitten (half-grown cat now, really, but forever a kitten to Tara) on the ground to pad up to Sookie. "Sookie, this is Mr. Moxy. Moxy, this is Miss Sookie. M-make friends."

Moxy ... was a cat and, as cats often do, looked unimpressed.

Leia had spent a good part of the day reading up on the Queen Elizabeth they'd learned about in class on Friday, and now she finally ventured out into the common room to find something to eat. "Hi, Bobby," she said. "What are you watching?"

Two dimensional TV was so archaic.

[longislandiceme]

"So far?" Bobby shrugged. "All we've done is rule out the gross crime show."

[likes_scoundrels]

Leia wrinkled her nose. "Good," she said. "There must be something better than that on."

Sookie wasn't sure if she'd ever actually met the other girl, but she waved at her brightly anyway. "We have chocolate, too."

Well. Bobby had chocolate. Sookie was just going to volunteer it for him because she was helpful.

And Leia deeply appreciated Sookie's helpfulness. "I find it remarkable that chocolate is the same in this galaxy and mine," she said, giving Sookie a pleased smile.

Tara's cat wandered toward Leia, followed by a sheepish Tara. "Hi," she said. "Hope you aren't allergic or anything. He's, um, f-friendly."

"Not at all," Leia said, reaching down to pet the kitty. "What's his name?"

Mat was bored and hungry.

Oooh, a common room with people and food!

Mat was so lucky.

"Good evening, all," he said, smiling.

[likes_scoundrels]

"Hello, Mat," Leia said with a smile, tossing a piece of chocolate (stolen from Bobby) in his direction.

Mat snagged the chocolate neatly out of the air and bowed at her. "Thank you kindly."

[longislandiceme]

"Yo," Bobby greeted, flinging a chocolate egg at Mat. Funny how the girls hadn't received that particular greeting.

Sookie tossed a piece of chocolate at the guy.

"...the others did it first," she said, shrugging.

[life_inshadow]

Everybody else was throwing chocolate, so Tara tried to too.

It landed a good three feet shy of Mat.

"... sorry," she said, going pink.

"Hey peeps," Hurley said, wandering into the common room that was very much not his own.

He paused when he got to the fridge.

"Oh crap, I forgot to go to work today," he declared.

[bloody-luck.livejournal.com]

Mat, having been greeted in the same manner, tossed a piece of chocolate at Hurley's head.

"That's how you get left on the side of the road with nothing but your boots to call your own," he said.

There wasn't unemployment where he came from.

[life_inshadow]

"Are you going to get in trouble?" Tara asked, concerned.

She was almost convinced she'd get fired every time she missed a day at the Magic Box.

[longislandiceme]

"That's... not good," Bobby observed helpfully.
