Third floor common room, Tuesday afternoon

It was cold and the power was out. That could only mean one thing for Claudia -- time to hit the common room kitchen and try to make her homemade chemical heat packs again.

What else was a girl to do after classes on a quiet, cold, central-heating-free afternoon? Cuddle up beside the fire with hot cocoa? Please.

[ooc: as open as a common room could be.]

Scully joined her there after the memorial, looking for a warm fire. "Thank god for fireplaces. Hey."

Scully snorted, and settled next to the fire, holding out hands wearing fingerless mittens toward the blaze to warm them up. "Seriously? It's cozy. But I'm going to go into withdrawal if I can't recharge my laptop by tomorrow." She cocked her head. "What are you up to, over there?"

She got half of it, and immediately got up from her place by the fire to go peer at Claudia's work. She blinked when she saw it. "Home-made hot packs?" she marveled. "What are you using for a container?"

Scully started rummaging for some in the cupboards, and said absently, "Did you notice the amazing appearing cocoa?"

"Cocoa seems more... personal? Something." She shook her head. "But yes, architectural randomizing is pretty bizarre as well. Do you need any help with that?" She put the ziplock baggies down that she had found, and peered into the bowl.

"So how are your other investigations going? Any sign of Artie Whatshisname?" Scully leaned back against the counter, and wondered if the food in the fridge were going bad... or if it was cold enough to count as a fridge in here. Brrr.

"Really? That was nice of him," Scully said, mildly surprised. "He just got your name, and got in touch?"

Scully folded her arms, watching Claudia's progress. "Does he remember anything about what Joshua was working on, do you think? Or how he met that supposed sponsor?"

Another cup of cocoa had appeared at her elbow, so Scully picked it up and started to drink. "Maybe he'll bring it up. What's he doing these days, still teaching?"

"Hmm. Well, it's nice that he contacted you... and for Joshua's sake, I hope he gives you a few leads." Scully sighed, then shivered. "And did you know Jacob's temperature is always about 109 degrees?"

Scully choked on her cocoa, then snickered. "Not where I was going with that, but... hard to argue," she admitted.

"I think the only time I shook his hand, I was desperately hungover." She smirked a little. "I haven't kissed him like some people."

"Yeah? On your first picnic day?" Scully asked, looking interested. "I was kind of -- impressed, and a little flabberghasted, when he just told me he was a shapechanger. Or werewolf. However you want to put that."

Scully shook her head. "He told me about it when Rosalind was a vixen for a week. He came by and she was playing with this candy I had out, and told me." She cocked her head. "How big is he, as a wolf?"

"Good grief." Scully was trying to picture that, and blinking a lot. "... I think I'm glad he's one of the good guys. That would be fairly terrifying to encounter if you didn't know him."

"Probably a good thing, if he has to deal with vampires all the time," Scully said, remembering what he mentioned. "Given that some are always going to be a threat." She remembered Jessica. "Or ditzy airheads."
