5th Floor Common Room - Thursday Evening

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

Bobby was still uncomfortable enough in The Room He Shared With A Girl that he didn't want to just hang out in there to study. Because he was totally enough of a geek to be studying during the first week of classes.

But he was also enough of a guy to be studying while watching cartoons and geeking out over the fact that his mom couldn't come in and make him turn them off because they were violent and not necessarily all that progressive especially in their treatment of women. Bobby just wanted to watch things blow up and the bad guys lose which they did with amazing regularity.

He had Hot Pockets (not the nasty organic kind), cartoons and biology homework. Life was pretty darn good.

Jason wasn't big on hanging out in the common rooms, but when he heard the sound of cartoons, he gave in to the urge to peek his head in to see what was being watched. It had been almost a week, and seeing Bobby still hadn't gotten any less strange, but at least he didn't bring out an immediate urge to glare like Percy did.

"Hey," he said from the doorway. "What are you up to?"

The smell of food called to Nico somehow. Though the look of them was odd, Nico didn't turn down potential junk food. Especially not in this McDonald's-free zone.

Then he spotted the kid and all thoughts of food were put on hold. "I would think you were a shrunken Percy, but I'm not certain he can read." Son of Poseidon and all.

Jack hadn't found Bobby in his room, so he checked the next likely place - where the food was. "I can't think of anything you could possibly be studying."

This wasn't Kitty's floor, but she didn't care. There were new kids out, and she figured the best way to meet them would be to wander out some. Like so!

"Hey there," she said with a smile.

Momoko was lured to the common room by the sound of the tv. Or maybe she was guided by her grumbling stomach? Either way, she was there.

"Hi!" She cheerily called out to the room in general as she made her way to the cabinets to see if she had to hit up the third floor one what there was for snacking. "What's on tv tonight? Ah! There's Oreos! Awesome!"

"Hi!" Bobby looked up with a big smile for Jason. "I've got hot pockets." He tried to slide his biology book away. Somehow he didn't think Jason would think studying was all that cool. "Want one?"

Bobby looked up at Nico with a near frown. "I'm not Percy! Percy's a stupid name."

[notlikebobby.livejournal.com]

"He's studying," Jack said with a raised eyebrow.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

He looked up sheepishly. "...I'm reading. Comics."

Bobby really should know better than to try to pull that one.

Bobby looked up and waved at the new person. "Hi! I'm Bobby McCallister. What's your name?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, Nico liked this kid already. "His full name's Perseus. I'd say that's even worse."

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, can I have one of your oreos?" Bobby asked hopefully. "I'll trade you a Hot Pocket."

[notlikebobby.livejournal.com]

"You're Nico, right? Doesn't like water," he recalled from class today.

[notlikebobby.livejournal.com]

He tilted his head to show he didn't believe a word Bobby said. He dropped down onto a nearby seat. "No one's going to get on your case if you don't study the first week."

"Jason, I can't believe I didn't hear there was a third person trying to steal your face," Nico said. "Take bets on Percy trying to kill him with celestial bronze?"

[notavalleygirl.livejournal.com]

"Kitty Pryde. So you're the other Bobby," she grinned, finding a seat.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"And you're...the guy who actually knows the name of a boat, yeah?" Nico was working on the name thing. "Jake?"

[notlikebobby.livejournal.com]

Jack said hello with a smile. "What drew you in? The smell of food or the outstanding company?"

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Perseus? Like in the constellation?" he asked. "I mean, I guess it's cool there. If you're gonna be the king of Mycenae."

[heromaniac]

"They're not my oreos, they're everyones! They were in the cupboard!" Momoko grinned, poured herself a glass of milk, then walked over. "But I totally won't turn down a hot pocket - what fillings do you have?" She offered him the open package.

Kitty was going to be honest. She had no idea if this was her little brother or not. So she asked cautiously, "...Percy?"

"Uh, sure," Jason said, willing to let himself be distracted by food for the moment. "Do you know how to warm them up, or are they still cold in the middle?"

[dontvotemeout]

"Studying what? We've had like, one day of each class," Jason said. Granted, he had Russian homework that totally needed doing, but that was what weekends were for. "If I call him a geek, will you get defensive on me?"

[notavalleygirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh, hey, another new kid," Kitty said with a smile. What, she liked meeting them. "Hi!"

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Mom'll know," Bobby informed him. "Then she'll yell at both of us. I'm just trying to save you." Or he really wanted to study.
