5th floor common room - noonish

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

No classes today meant that Jake had been sleeping in (not that this was a new concept). He'd woken up eventually, stomach grumbling and well... he needed food. Honestly, that wasn't a new concept either.

Instead of going to buy something in town however, he'd found some eggs and bacon and was making food. The television in the common room was on and tuned to the Formula 1 practice race because this time of the day, there was little interesting on. For him anyway.

[No work is fun.]

Bod was without classes today and he'd heard Jacob get up even if he hadn't gotten up himself at the time. Now though, he was awake and dressed which meant he could wander into the common room.

"Are you cooking?" Bod didn't really care if he was stating the obvious here. It was just something he'd picked up on. "I didn't know you could cook."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Yeah well, I wouldn't want you to start thinking you could use me as your personal chef," he joked, not that he imagined Bod doing anything of the sort.

"It's nothing fancy. Just edible and you don't get sick from it," he continued more seriously.

[therewaslife]

"Well, you already are my personal alarm clock," joked Bod, padding closer to peer at what Jacob was making. "Being my personal chef would just be another useful talent to add to the list."

Bod had no such list and had no intention of making Jacob cook for him unless it was offered and he hadn't already eaten.

"It's more than I know how to do," he added. "I can manage toast and things in the microwave but anything beyond that is unfamiliar. It smells good though."

"I'm actually impressed you manage to sleep longer than I do," Jake snorted and glanced at Bod. "Eggs are pretty much the easiest thing you can make. You just need to put butter in the pan, let it melt and then add the eggs. There's not much to it."

[therewaslife]

"I wasn't really sleeping," he confessed, smirking a bit. "I was more just laying there because I didn't have anything else to do. All of my classes are on Monday and Tuesday. I've a lot of free time now."

He supposed he could do some extracurricular studying but there was just...so many other things to do, most of them more interesting and fresh to him.

"But, if eggs are truly that easy, maybe it'll give me more of an incentive to get up early. I should learn to cook some things for myself. Silas isn't here to bring me takeout anymore."

"Hey Jacob," Layla said as she wandered into the common room with damp hair and wearing a wench costume from class. "how's it going?"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Starting to look up now that there'd food," he said, right before he actually looked over at her. It was a good thing he wasn't currently chewing as it already looked like he was choking.

"Why are you dressed like that?"

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"I'm taking a class taught by Captain Jack Sparrow," Layla said grabbing a soda and flopping down on the couch as if she did this kind of thing everyday. "So I'm just rolling with it."

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"And your homework is walking around..." he frowned. "Exactly what are you dressed like?"

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Tavern wench," she said with a smirk. "Actually our assignment was to walk the plank and go for a swim. I just kept the outfit because I liked it. So you finally drag your ass out of bed and you're only watching racing?"

Some people had already had a class today. And lunch. People like Kate, who was now entering the common room and striding purposefully towards the fridge. She wanted vanilla pudding for dessert, and her stash on her own floor was already gone.

... Yes, she'd stored some pudding cups in this floor's fridge earlier in the week. No reason.

The TV got a glance. "Eww." She was such a chick sometimes.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Jake glanced up from where he was sitting on the couch, his plate in his lap. "Ew to you too."

[vanillajello]

"You're watching that?"

Kate, of course, could recount entire episodes of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, so she probably shouldn't have judged anyone when it came to television.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Let's see," he looked around. "I'm sitting on a couch, facing the television. Huh. Seems so," he nodded. "And no, you're not getting the remote."

Just so that was clear. He wasn't going to watch some chick show.

Bod hadn't quite left the kitchen area after learning how to make eggs from Jacob. He wasn't still cooking but he was leaning against the counter and eating there when she came in.

He smiled at first and watched her path to the refrigerator. He stayed quiet until she was closer and then said, "Hullo, Kate. You look intent about something in that appliance."

[vanillajello]

Kate was pretty concentrated on the idea of pudding apparently. She didn't quite jump, but sort of twitched once with surprise at hearing his voice, then laughed and kind of grinned at him.

"Hi. Yeah. Pudding cups."

[therewaslife]

"Eggs," he said, tilting his own plate towards her and giving her a brief smile. "You've pudding cups up here? I should have borrowed one."

Ariel had slept in today, as well, a combination of no classes and practically exhausting herself on exploring all there was out therein this fascinatng world. But eventually, she woke up, and the smell of something down the hall made her stomach rumble and order to her feet to get moving.

So it was a still sleepy Ariel, red bedhead and a pink nightgown, who shuffled into the common room, looking for what smelled yummy.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Which would be the food, even if Jake thought he smelled yummy too. Modesty wasn't his greatest assest since he'd turned werewolf. Go figure.

"Morning," he said. "Not that it's morning, but who cares?"

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel smiled a little at that, yawning a great deal, stretching with it and being polite in covering her mouth as she did so. She blinked, then shrugged her shoulders, to make it clear that she wasn't one to care either.

"Yeah, I'm thinking of having a nap after this," he nodded, not sure what to make of the silence. "Are you new?"

Tim came back to the common room after his pirate class. He considered his kitchen options and decided on a bowl of cereal. He sat down on the couch with his food. "Hey," he said to the very tall guy. "Oh, racing, cool!"

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Jake nodded, gaze fixed to the screen and that was a way better response than Kate's ew. "Good to know someone here has some sense of what's fun."

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

"What's not to like about fast cars?" Tim asked.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

"Beats me," Jake shrugged and glanced at Kate. "Chicks have weird logic."

And he was aiming to get hit over the head or something.
