Second Floor Common Room, Friday Evening

[glacial_queen]

After a long day out fighting creepy zombie piranha fish, Karla had fought her way to the castle, beyond the goblin city to Pizza Planet, in the vague hopes that perhaps someone had decided to go in early and gotten stuck. Or something.

Much to Karla's surprise, Pizza Planet was actually open and mostly staffed. The denizens of Fandom were even more jaded by the invasions than the students, and apparently decided a paycheck was more important than the piranhas.

They hadn't been particularly happy to see her. Probably because it had been a very light day for them, work-wise.

But she'd shown up and hadn't moved until they completed her order and now Karla had a giant stack of pizzas to feed people along with a few two litres of soda and a giant salad. After a long day of fighting (or even not), she figured that fresh, hot food that didn't come from a microwave would be appreciated.

She was still debating turning on cheesy horror movies like she'd talked about with Ben, though. That might be a bit much after today.

[Open!]

"Oooh, do I smell food?" Bobby asked, flopping down on the couch as he took a swig from the bottle of water he had with him. "Please tell me you're sharing and not just taunting people with it."

[glacial_queen]

"Well, I was mostly going to eat it in front of people and laugh," Karla responded, "but since you're my fiancé, I guess I can make an exception."

[longislandiceme]

"Our love is a deep and abiding one," Bobby said, placing a hand over his heart and fluttering his eyelashes at her. "My thanks, dearest."

[glacial_queen]

"Of course, sweetums," Karla said, handing over a few slices of whatever was closest to hand. "I couldn't bear it if you were to wither away to nothing."

She raised a dramatic wrist to her forehead. "What about...the baby!"

"Oh my god, I think you're my hero," Sookie informed Karla with a bright smile as she wandered in. "I'm not up to cooking tonight."

[longislandiceme]

"Yeah, but does she get a poem?" Bobby mused. "I got a poem."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie was quiet for a moment, her lips moving as she clearly counted on her fingers, before offering, "Karla is the best/Because she feeds me pizza/I am hungry now."

That's right. Haiku.

[longislandiceme]

"Not bad, not bad," Bobby said thoughtfully. Not as good as the poem Gabrielle had written for him, of course, but that went without saying.

[glacial_queen]

"I shouldn't think so, if the occasional purple flash I saw was you like I think it was," Karla said, handing a slice over, even as she did. "Kiss kiss, Sookie."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Hi," she said, taking the slice and setting it aside for the moment. "Can I get a hug, by the way? I've barely seen you since you got back, and you gave us quite a scare here, missy."

"Were you wounded?" Elphaba asked, even though she didn't know the girl. the concern was still there, given today's cirumstances. There were so many blonds about, she was having trouble keeping them straight in her mind. "Or is there another reason?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Nah, just sleepy," Sookie said with an easy smile, tossing off a little wave to the girl she recognized from her symbolism class. Kinda hard not to recognize her, really, but Sookie wasn't going to comment. Lord knew she was used to being different. "I fought the stupid fish for awhile. Kinda takes a lot out of a girl, you know?"

Robin was feeling a little cooped up, but since he had no intention of going out while there were any kind of non-music-playing zombies around, he put up with it.

But hey look, now there were people to hang out with in the common room! And pizza!

"Hi everybody!"

[glacial_queen]

"Kiss kiss," Karla said, waving back. The wave turned into a lazy gesture towards the pizzas. "Help yourself," she said.

Karla was ensconced in a chair and had no intentions of getting up anytime soon.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Thanks! How was your journey to and from the pizza place?"

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"Are the things gone?" Elphaba asked, stepping in to the common room. "I was trying to avoid windows while they were still about."

[glacial_queen]

"Not yet," Karla said, glancing out the common room window just in time to see another swarm wing there way by. "Most invasions like these don't last more than a day or two."

There, that was comforting, right?

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"Then I think I will still stay away from the windows," Elphaba said. "I have no desire to parade myself like a bun in a bakery window."

She eyed the pizzas. "What strange food is this?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi Elphaba! How are you liking Fandom?" An invasion of Zombie Fish might not be the best time to ask that question.

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"Are you referring to the island, the school, or my general experience?" Elphaba asked, brow furrowed in thought for a moment. "It's a different answer to each, and I would not care to bore you with answers to something you did not ask."

[talks-backwards.livejournal.com]

"Hey roommate of mine~ I hope the flying fishes didn't bother you." Because she would never forgive herself for not taking part of the offensive.

"Hot choco?" She had a lot left.

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

"I stayed safely indoors," Elphaba said. "And away from the windows. The fish were... displeasing, to say the least. Some animals were not meant to fly."

This would be Zatanna handing Karla a mug of hot chocolate. She didn't look overly pleased with it, but she didn't look like she had poisoned it. Word.

"You were down there kicking dead fish ass." And that would be a statement. "So...uh, nice work." Karla was either going to grab the mug or make her feel ridiculous. Options, options...

[glacial_queen]

Karla was leaning heavily towards Option Two, but her conversations with Tara and Dinah and her more recent conversation with Robin about not holding other-Raven's actions against her were fresh in her mind.

So rather than do something horrible, Karla just calmly reached up and accepted the cocoa with all the graciousness she could muster. "Thank you," she said, stirring her mug.

And probing it with Craft. Duh.

"This was quite thoughtful of you. Help yourself to some pizza." Perhaps Zatanna would be a little disconcerted by the polite, if nothing else.

[talks-backwards.livejournal.com]

Zatanna had totally watched Rumor Gal with Raven, she could take Karla's...graciousness. Sorta.

And the probe should come clean; Zatanna had disposed of the last of the enchanted chocolate. She had totally drank it all, actually. Hmm, choco.

"Well, I should have been out there, helping. And I wasn't." She got scared, alright? And the whole election thing...excuses. "Oh, pizza~" Her mind really did changed targets rather fast. "So, nobody badly hurt, I hope?"
