First Floor Lobby | All Day | December 17

Alex was not wearing the Snuggie he'd woken up to this morning. Hell no. He was not an eighty year old woman or a hipster who thought it was cute or something. Everyone else could entertain him with their bad fashion sense.

Alex had restocked the coffee cart for the last day of classes, making sure there was plenty of coffee, tea, cider, hot chocolate, espresso, and cappuccino. He'd also made sure the pastries were all refilled so people could eat and drink if they so desired.

Once that was done, he grabbed a cup of coffee from the cart and took a seat, foregoing any books to just sit and people watch for the most part.

[Open for your coffee cart or Alex needs!]

Quinn had ditched her snuggie as soon as she woke up, too. She figured it would make a nice Christmas present for her grandma.

"Happy last day of classes," she said, mulling over the treats until she decided to make herself a mocha. "Are you out of here soon, or sticking around?"

"Sticking around," he said, shrugging. "My family doesn't really do Christmas. Everyone's too spread out."

Foster homes, psychiatric hospitals and an island on the east coast was pretty spread out.

"You?"

"I want to stick around long enough to go to work Monday, but then I'll head out," Quinn said. "Probably won't stay in Ohio until the New Year, though. It gets pretty boring."

Especially now that she didn't have a Finn to keep her busy.

"New Years around here can be pretty awesome, actually," Alex said, sounding almost surprised. "They usually go pretty all out. And I don't mean sparklers and apple juice in the park."

"Yeah?" At home, Quinn would be stuck sipping a beer and pretending to still have something in common with the rest of the Cheerios. Being in Fandom was sounding better. It wasn't like Alex was easy to impress. "Like ... bigger than Homecoming?"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"A lot bigger," Alex said, nodding. "Last year, we got a trip to New York City, stayed in some badass hotel and got to wander around during the day and party at night."

"I have no idea where the school gets its money, but right now I like it," Quinn decided. "Okay, so I'll definitely be back before the new year. And if it's punch in the park while we freeze I'll blame you for overpromising."

"If it's punch in the park, you'll find me on the mainland in a bar, finding my own fun," Alex said, shrugging. "You're welcome to come, if you want. Ever been in a bar that's not Caritas?"

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Not ... exactly," Quinn said slowly. "I'm not really a big drinker. Caritas doesn't count, it's not like there's a lot else to do here."

"Depends on the bar and the company," Alex said, shrugging. "I've been to bars where I don't drink. I tend to make fun wherever I go though. Just gotta have good company."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"And I count as good company?" Quinn arched an eyebrow. "This isn't a date thing, is it?

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I don't do dates," he said and rolled his eyes. "Look, you wanna see a bar or not? I can be your good company and I can fucking punch someone that tries to be a skeeze."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I want to see a bar," Quinn said, rolling her eyes right back. "Just checking. I figure I can give an evening to anybody who will punch people for me."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"See, was that so hard?" Alex asked, amused. "You wanna go after you get back from your trip home? I ain't got nothing going on."

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"Why not?" Quinn shrugged, faintly embarrassed about the 'date' thing. "It'll be better than hanging out here. I'll call you when I'm around."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I'll be around," he said because he had nowhere else to go. "Sounds fine to me."
