Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Night

[trigons_child]

Tonight was the season finale of Rumor Gal, so of course Raven had commandeered the common room to watch it. It was going to be the perfect distraction from her father and Sebastian and strange boys on roofs telling her she was going to turn evil.

Unless the characters' actions got her all riled up. That could be a problem.

Touch the remote at your own peril.

Tim came into the common room and picked up the remote. "You're not actually watching this, are you?"

[trigons_child]

Raven stared at Tim in horror. "Please, do not change the channel!" she said. "This is my favorite television show!"

"What, seriously?" But he put the remote back down.

Dan was bored as hell and decided to be sociable for once. Nobody die of shock.

"Um, hello," Dan said when he came in. "Mind if I join you?"

[trigons_child]

"Yes," Raven said, letting out a breath of relief she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "It is a study in human emotions. I have found it very helpful in understanding those who let their emotions guide them."

Tim looked at the TV. Looked at Raven. Looked back at the TV. "I don't know if this show is really the best representation of human emotions."

"Hey," Tim said. "Are you on this floor? I don't think we've met."

[trigons_child]

"Certainly," Raven said, giving him a smile. "You are most welcomed to join us. But do not change the channel, please."

[trigons_child]

"Have you ever watched it?" Raven said. She had a bowl of popcorn and held it out to Tim. "It is fascinating."

Tim accepted a handful of popcorn. "No, I can't say I've really given it a chance," he said.

"Uh, no, I'm on the second floor. There's just absolutely nothing going on between here and there," Dan said. "I'm Dan."

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

"Oh no problem." He didn't watch much TV so he didn't have many favorite shows he'd want to change the channel to. "What are we watching?"

"Tim Drake," Tim said. "Welcome to the fifth floor. Are you one of the new batch, too?"

[trigons_child]

"The characters often do things that do not seem to make any logical sense," Raven said, gesturing at the TV. "They allow their emotions to influence their decisions, and take courses of action that often seem foolish and risky. But many times it is the right thing to do."

That's because the writers wrote it that way, Raven.

"Rumor Gal," Raven said. "It is the season finale tonight. I hope there will not be a cliffhanger. I do not like having to wait to find out what happens." She offered Dan some popcorn.

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

"No, previous batch," he said. "So I've got a few more months experience than you. Not that it helps much when it comes to weird stuff."

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

"Oh. That show. Yeah, I've heard of it," Dan said, not looking very pleased by that. He grabbed a handful of popcorn. "Thanks."

"You do know it's fiction, right?" Tim asked.

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

"Where are you from?" Tim asked.

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

"New York City. Brooklyn, to be more specific," he said. "You?"

[trigons_child]

"Is something wrong?" Raven said, looking him over. "You are displeased for some reason."

Hoshi was still upset about not hearing from Hurley. But it was Monday night and there was a tradition that must be upheld. So she made her way to the common room and found herself a seat on the couch.

"Hey Raven," she said with a wave. "Ready for the finale?"

[trigons_child]

"....yes," Raven said. "But people must draw on real life to create the characters and situations and dialogue, do they not?"

[imonscholarship.livejournal.com]

"It's nothing. Nothing that's a big deal, anyway. The show just hits a little close to home," he admitted. "I used to go one of those snooty private schools."

[trigons_child]

"Of course," Raven beamed, passing Hoshi the popcorn. "I cannot wait to see what happens."
