Fourth Floor Common Room | Tuesday Evening

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

For once, Caroline actually had a project to do! She was kind of excited about the idea of making signs for the sibling she hadn't technically gotten yet, but felt certain she deserved, so of course she was going to get one, it was simply a matter of time. And so Caroline had gathered a ton of supplies from the shop in town, and okay, since there were vikings all around, there was a total Icelandic theme going on. Makers, glitter glue, and construction paper in colors she had deemed within the viking spirit were laid out all over the floor in the common room.

Sorry people who had hoped to walk by.

Caroline wasn't certain about her first attempt, but that was why she had more poster board, duh. She brushed a bit of glitter from her bare knees as she got to her feet, surveying the work she'd done so far. She took a few steps back to see if her sign was readable at a distance and nodded, pleased with her work. Now if only she had a name to add. Fill in the blank was kind of hard.

But then, maybe someone was taking the whole big sibling thing a little far.

[So totally open as CRs are!]

"...that Jake knows her better than me?" Bobby replied, eyes widening. Danger, Will Robinson, danger. "He got all frowny and RARR and stuff at me for going with her?"

"Oh really?" Caroline was filing this information away, oh yes. "Did he growl?" She was betting she already knew the answer.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Uhhhh," he suddenly wondered if he was doing something stupid like telling Missy that Jack had kissed Courtney...

"Oh come on, you can tell me," Caroline replied, pointing at him with the glitter glue. "Unless you want me to put you to work on my posters."

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"I still don't know what the posters are for ...I don't think he growled. But he told me he was a werewolf, and if it hadn't been really cool, it would've been scary? But I'd never met a werewolf before," Bobby said, still a little uncertain but more worried about the girl with the glitter glue.

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

Bobby made the right choice as far as Caroline was concerned. "He's so not like normal werewolves," she scoffed. "And you shouldn't let him scare you. I'm way scarier and that's even without bringing the whole vampire thing into it. Um, but don't put that on the posters. They're for my little sibling, yet to be named."

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"I didn't let him scare me!" Bobby argued. "Which, okay, maybe was kind of stupid now that I think about it, but it made sense then." He couldn't help grinning. "Well, yeah, you're a girl. And you have glitter."

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Wait, which is the scary part, girls or glitter?" Caroline wondered, giving Bobby the side-eye. There was clearly a proper answer to the question.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

Bobby looked slightly hunted, unsure of what he should be saying here. "...girls?"

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"See, and that is why I hoped if you had a girl, she'd be a sweet thing," she replied, thinking she understood why Bobby would be afraid of girls. And really, he should be terrified of girls like her.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

Which was pretty funny since the only girl Bobby had ever dated was very definitely not the sweet little thing type.

"I'd just want to date someone who likes me back," Bobby pointed out. And possibly that was too much talking about girlfriends he didn't have. "I might get to be a big sib too! Isn't that cool? Do you think I should make a sign?"

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"That's not asking for much," she said, chuckling a little and reaching for a fresh piece of poster board to swing at him. "And yes, you should absolutely make a poster. Because you and I would make the most amazing big sibs for people, having learned from the master and all."

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

Bobby caught the poster board, grinning a little. "Yeah, but then it's a lot of measure up to, you know? What if I suck at it?"

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"If you suck, then you just blame it on the little sib, right? Because obviously they just aren't cool enough to be paired with you."

The real question was how her sib was going to react to her amazing poster. "I wish I knew if I was going to have a boy or a girl so I could personalize this a little." Other than the massive 'Welcome to Fandom!' currently displayed.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"I think that might work better for you than me," Bobby said reluctantly. Especially since he wasn't cool at all.

"Maybe you could make two? One girly and one for a boy and then you could pick the one on the day?" He was starting to think about this too much. And grabbing markers to make his own sign.

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"I guess I could do that," she said, getting a fresh poster to make something more masculine. "What do boys like in posters? Other than no glitter." She'd gathered that much on her own, surprisingly enough.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

Bobby gave her a sidelong glance. "I don't think a boy is going to be looking at the sign...?"

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"What? Is it not flashy enough?" Caroline said considering her marker selection again. "I could reconsider the glitter thing. Boys are totally drawn to shiny objects."

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"We're not moths!" Bobby protested. "Uh, I mean, not that glitter is light, but it's sort of the same thing."

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Are you sure?" Caroline asked. "Or is it more boys are drawn to large..." Could she say breasts in front of Bobby? "Chests." Better.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

Proving her point, Bobby's eyes dropped down to Caroline's...chests then looked away quickly as he realised she was wearing a lower cut shirt.

"Um. I mean, I don't think all boys are the same or anything so it's kind of hard to answer the question?"

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Ha! You totally looked!" Caroline said, pointing in victory at having caught that. "Thus, you have proved my point and I totally win!" Something.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry!" Bobby squeaked, blushing a bright red, thank you, Caroline. "I didn't mean to! You said - just - and I - Sorry?"

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

"Dude, Bobby, you so don't have to apologize for checking me out," Caroline told him, reaching over to give his arm a pat. "It's only natural to look when someone mentions breasts. Just, you know, don't accidentally trip and grab them." Nathan had done that once.

[notlikejack.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I don't think you're supposed to touch unless invited," Bobby said, still flushed and looking everywhere but at Caroline. "Um, I mean for everything, but...yeah. So, glitter?"
