Third Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

[vanillajello]

It had been a long, long fucking week for Kate Gregson. But she'd had a good newbie picnic, and she'd gotten an absolutely adorable new fake sib, and so today she was actually feeling pretty good about things.

Good enough to wander into the common room after waking up (still in the tank top and pyjama bottoms she'd slept in, but at least it wasn't shorts) to make breakfast to share with people. Nothing fancy, just a simple fruit salad. But there was enough for a lot of people.

And the rest of her chocolate coins were in a bowl on the table too. She'd missed a couple newbies yesterday and anyway, if she kept them in her room she'd just eat them all by herself.

At least here she was actually partaking of the fruit salad while lounging on a couch. Mmm, fruit salad and a lazy Sunday morning.

Sunday was just not a day to get seriously dressed before wandering into the common room in search of breakfast. In Chuck's case, wearing just a t-shirt and shorts. Teenage boy, it was a miracle he was awake at all.

"You have some dedication to the welcoming thing," he commented, taking in all the fruit.

"Making up for being a cat the last time around," Kate said, though about half of that was mumbled around a spoonful of fruit salad. Manners were for someone else. Or some time that wasn't Sunday morning, anyway. "Hey, Chuck."

"Right, as you have to around here," he joked, and proceeded to flop onto the nearest couch. The "Morning Kate," that came out a few seconds later was a little muffed by cushion.

"You should see the welcome basket she made my brother. Dedicated is putting it lightly."

"I can actually imagine," Chuck said with a laugh. "I got plied with chocolate my first day here. Guess whose fault that was." The gesture towards Kate was probably unnecessary at this point.

"And that was just for the luck of ending up on this floor. Not even a fake sibling."

Calvin actually swallowed his mouthful of cereal before greeting Chuck, this was truly a great honour. "Hey."

[knowsnokungfu.livejournal.com]

As a fellow food-scoffing teenage boy, Chuck could totally appreciate effort like that, and raised a hand with a return grin of his own.

"Not into the health food thing either?" he guessed.

Jack's sleep schedule would soon be destroyed by his lack of timetable structure, but for now he was awake and dressed. He wasn't ready to show up in public in his sleep wear yet. He was all casual though with a t-shirt, track pants and running shoes. "Is there really food in here or do I have to find the cafeteria?"

[vanillajello]

"Well, I made some fruit salad that's meant to be shared," Kate replied helpfully, gesturing at the bowl on one of the tables. "And there should be like cereal and stuff in the cupboards you can just take."

[notlikebobby.livejournal.com]

"You're a one person welcome wagon," Jack noted and went to help himself to the fruit salad. "Are you always this friendly or is the first weekend a special occasion?"

[not_tylerdurden]

Oh, look, another half-awake, half-dressed teenage boy.

Calvin waved at Kate and glanced at the fruit before making a beeline for the cupboard to look for the Chocolate-Coated Sugar Bombs.

[notlikebobby.livejournal.com]

"Good morning to you too," Jack called.

[not_tylerdurden]

Discovering a fresh box of delicious sugary goodness, Calvin decided it was too much effort to actually find the bowls and milk and just started eating from the packet. "New kid?" he asked around a mouthful of something that claimed to be cereal.

[vanillajello]

"What's with all the dudes this morning?" Kate wondered with a wave of greeting. "I'm pretty sure some chicks live on this floor too."

[not_tylerdurden]

"Maybe they're in another floor's common room?" Calvin suggested. "Which is dumb, because there's chocolate here."

He had his priorities in order.

Alex wandered into the common room dressed in a tank top and sweatpants (Sundays were meant for being lazy, after all) on the hunt for caffeine.

"Ooh fruit salad, nice," she remarked, as she sought out the coffee pot. That was why she loved her floor. "Also, hi."

[vanillajello]

"Hi, the fruit salad's meant for everyone," Kate greeted. "Are you making coffee?"

She'd had been too lazy to do anything about caffeine after making the salad, but that didn't mean she wouldn't like coffee.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Well, that solves my breakfast dilemma then," Alex replied. "I am. I'm not sure I could last the day without it." She was only half-joking. "I can make you a cup when it's done, if you want?"

[not_tylerdurden]

Calvin waved. "Morning."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Morning," Alex smiled, returning the wave. "How's your weekend so far? Meet any of the new kids yet?"

[knowsnokungfu.livejournal.com]

Chuck waved at her from his sofa flop-point.

"Did the fish get a name in the end?" he asked. Having been completely unhelpful on that front, he felt he should ask.

It might have been more normal to start with a 'morning' but... Well. What was normal, really.

Nothing seemed to be going on on his floor, so Robin tried the next one up, and sure enough, there were people doing things here.

"Good morning." he said. "Ooh, fruit salad, cool. Any pineapple in there?"

[vanillajello]

It was the third floor. Of course it was totally happening.

Or so Kate would have everyone believe, anyway. "There's some pineapple, yeah," she said. "Morning, Robin."

Elphaba was not the most social of people. Despite being one floor below her own, she had come into the common room hoping someone would direct her to a place that she could find breakfast. She'd eaten so lightly yesterday, what with all the rush of emotion and confusion. Her stomach was empty and she needed to eat. She thought about contacting Zack, but it seemed such a small thing to bother him about.

She tried to remain off to the side, just to be courteous.

"Excuse me," she said, trying to be nice about her interruption. "Can I ask where you got your fruit?"

[vanillajello]

Kate didn't actually look up before she started replying. Eating required concentration, or something. "Bought them from Turtle and Canary, it's a-- Oh."

And she looked up at this point, of course. And did a kind of a double take. But it wasn't like she hadn't seen green people before (Jen had been green a lot) and hadn't just been talking to a frog, so she got over it quickly enough. Managed a polite little smile and everything.

"Turtle and Canary," she continued, nodding. "It's a store in town."
