Fourth Floor Common Room | Sunday Evening | 5/9/2010

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

Peter Bishop was not a fan of having his worldview rocked. He typically considered himself a very smart and rational human being.

Seemingly being dumped fifteen some years in the future was not a concept that gelled well with rational and scientific thought. It honestly made him feel like he was going crazy, no matter how much his conversation with Jacob had reassured him.

So Peter slunk into the couch, unable to concentrate enough to read. Instead, he flipped on the TV and proceeded to be horrified by the program that was on. Who thought it would be a good idea to film crazy new Jerseyians and put them on TV?

Alex didn't really care that this wasn't his floor especially upon seeing some kid in this floor's common room, looking like he'd seen ghosts. Or maybe just someone's ass.

"Must be some bad porn you're watching," Alex said, ambling in lazily.

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"Bad porn would be preferable," Peter said. "No, I take that back. Terrible porn would be better than this. At least then we could justify the horrors as fiction."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"If it's so bad, why are you sitting there and staring at it?" Alex asked, wandering in and grabbing some juice from the refrigerator. "Masochist?"

Sookie, being a bit bored today, came wandering down the stairs after her own common room turned up empty. "Oooh, this looks awful," she said, just a little too happily, as she spied the screen.

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"It is awful," Peter said. "Please, pain shared is pain halved." He gestured to an open chair. "I'm Peter."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Sookie," she said with a cheery little wave as she sat down. "And it's only painful if you let it be. You could choose to look at this as amazing, fluffy candy for your brain."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"It's not porn." Alex was just in a sharing mood today. Be glad, Sookie.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, Alex," she said demurely. "I can tell that. The music's wrong, for one thing."

"Soooooooooooookie," Emma sang, spotting her fellow telepath. "What classes did you get this term, darling?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Home Ec, First Aid, Dogma," she blushed a bit there, "and the Magic of Baking. I'm TA in there. Anything exciting for you, hon?"

[omg I AM OFF TO A MOVIE! I will be back in a couple hours. :(]

Stupid Strider and his stupid 'pop quiz'. He'd been a lot more fun when he was in Bordertown.

Leda was still dressed in a very fancy Elven gown, with her hair it's natural white and swept back to reveal her pointed ears when she came into the common room and rather incongruously with her attire, flopped unceremoniously into a chair.

"Ugh, thank the gods that's over." she moaned. She didn't care that this wasn't her floor's CR.

Peter was going to stare for a moment. Pardon his rudeness.

"Please tell me those are fake," he said, hoping.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda was going to misinterpret his staring. She looked at the cute boy she didn't recognize and looked down at her dress. Crap. Way to make a first impression, dressed like some kinda princess.

"I don't usually dress like this." she assured him. Then what he'd said fully registered. "The ears you mean?"

Bobby was on a mission. A mission... for Oreos. Which the fourth floor cupboards apparently had in abundance.

"Oh god," he groaned, flopping down on the couch. "More of this stuff."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Hey now," Sookie said, tsking, "your brain needs sweet nothingness just as bad as you sometimes need Oreos."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"How long has this show been airing?" Peter asked, momentarily accepting the fact that it was a show from the future.

[icecoldfrost]

Emma was bored, and she could sense fresh meat confusion, Alex, Sookie, and Bobby all in one spot. It was like an entertainment smorgasbord, and enough to lure her down from 5th floor.

"What are we watching?" she asked as she entered, fully intent on stealing whatever food Bobby had ferreted out. "And do we need popcorn to mock it?"

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"Popcorn," Peter said, snapping his fingers. "That's what we need."

He looked over at Emma, and after a quick mental 'well hello there', he smiled and said. "I don't suppose you know where a guy can find some around here?"

[longislandiceme]

"Some awful reality show," Bobby said, sounding mostly resigned to it at this point.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"So, I've come up with a way to make up for not getting half naked for you yesterday," Alex decided, smiling over at Emma.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda waved to Emma with one hand while removing her very uncomfortable fancy shoes with the other. "Hey Emma."

Joolushko was, as usual, in the mood for something sweet. Ice cream sounded good, but walking all the way to Chilly Boulder was far too much effort when there was likely to be some sort in the freezer of the common room. So she went in search of said ice cream and was rummaging through the freezer hoping for chocolate before it occurred to her that there were other people in the room. And they were watching the television.

Television went well with ice cream, usually. Except...
"Oh. One of those series." She made a face. "If the rest of the universe saw these things your planet would probably be quarantined for the safety of other species."

Peter was stuck staring again. He was not getting an easy glide into dealing with the oddities of Fandom.

"Excuse me, did you say your planet?" he said, even though he knew she looked different.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"You mean the rest of the shit down here wouldn't do it?"

[longislandiceme]

A few years ago, Bobby might have wtf'ed at the 'your planet' comment, but four years as an X-Man plus one in Fandom meant he was totally used to aliens by now.

"I wouldn't blame 'em," he admitted.
