Second Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[wantstodirect]

Tonight by some wacky coincidence was the airing of the season (and series) finale of Darkest Night and the last Monday Tony was going to spend in Fandom. He'd thought of getting some special foods for the occasion, but really, what could be better than pizza, pop, ice cream and popcorn? Plus, getting to see your best friend play Dead Girl #1 on TV!

By equally wacky coincidence, Jack had bounded away from Emma and down the stairs. The terrier pup lay down on the floor at Tony's feet, tag that read "Jack Priest. No, really. Call Rose or Emma if found." neatly affixed to the navy collar round his neck.

Tony read the tag and grinned. He scratched the pup behind the ears. "You make a cute puppy," he told Jack.

[bitten_notshy]

Jack made a low, resigned growling sound in his throat, then settled in under Tony's fingers.

The petting thing wasn't all bad.

Like Karla was going to miss the series finale--even though she'd missed most of the season. But whatever. That wasn't enough to stop her from heading to the Common Room to enjoy the last night of teevee with Tony and Dinah before they headed off to the wild blue yonder.

Karla hated the wild, blue yonder

"Kiss kiss," she called. "There's plenty of popcorn for throwing, right?"

[wantstodirect]

"And eating!" Tony said. "How's it going?"

[glacial_queen]

"Great!" Karla said, giving Tony a bright smile. And thanking the Darkness his powers didn't extend to any kind of mystic empathy. "I've been looking forward to this all season. Dinah's so proud!"

[wantstodirect]

Tony scratched him down his back. "You can sit on the couch with me, if you want," he said. "I don't think there's any rules against it."

[wantstodirect]

"I know, she had a lot of fun with it," Tony said. He threw a bit of popcorn at Karla, just for fun.

[glacial_queen]

Karla batted it back at him with a hand. And then used Craft to make more fly up out of the bowl at him. "And since Dinah's going to be busy with college for the next few years, the next time you need a body for something you're working on, keep me in mind, all right?"

[wantstodirect]

Tony chomped at a mid-air piece of popcorn. "I will. But I'll be in film starting in August, so I won't need to use your body any time soon." He blinked, thought about what he'd said, then shrugged.

[bitten_notshy]

Jack put his paws on the couch, boosting himself up beside Tony, and rested his head lightly on Tony's leg, whining a bit.

This was not how he had planned to spend time after graduation.

[glacial_queen]

"You don't make films in film school?" Karla teased, also deciding to just take that comment in the spirit it was meant. "What do you do instead?"

[wantstodirect]

"You mean you'd still work for me if it didn't involve the fame and glory of a syndicated vampire detective show?" Tony asked.

[glacial_queen]

"Of course not!" Karla looked offended. "Clearly I'm in it for the money. Keep up, Tony."

[wantstodirect]

"Well, fine," Tony said. "There goes my plan to shoot my student stuff on Fandom Island and save a fortune on special effects."

[glacial_queen]

Karla laughed. "What if I'm willing to do it for half a fortune?" she asked. "It's practically a deal! And you'll still be saving money in the long run!"

[wantstodirect]

"That does sound like a bargain," Tony agreed. "I'll consider it. You got any big plans for the summer?"

[glacial_queen]

Karla shook her head. "Other than bringing you guys for another trip to Kaeleer?" Karla asked. "Not really. I'll be in the next play, of course. Enjoying the workshops. Laughing at newbies. I signed up for another little sibling this semester. How about you? Coming back to the island after the trip?"

Dinah was there after a delay, boo work and determined not to mope. Good-byes were starting, and they sucked, and Merlin wasn't here for the finale (boo!) but still. Dead girl!

"Foooooood."

"We're gonna need to throw it. Except for the part where I'm dead," Dinah said. "I'm wearing a really great dress!"

[wantstodirect]

Tony shook his head. "Going to New York to hang out with Lee for a bit before school starts," he said. "Wish I could do both, though."

[wantstodirect]

Tony threw popcorn at her.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah ate it, then threw more back at him. "What'd I miss? Tell me I didn't miss anything important."

[wantstodirect]

"Some dead girl. Blonde. Very familiar," Tony teased.

[glacial_queen]

"So, you're saying that you acting as a corpse is the highlight of the episode?" Karla teased. "That's not filling me with confidence, you know."
