Fourth Floor Common Room | Afternoon | Sunday | May 8

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

Earlier today, Nathan had shoved all of his things into bags and piled them up near his bed. He'd left just a few things out for tomorrow (clothes, cigarettes, small bottle of alcohol, and wallet) but other than that, he was ready to go.

But, he wasn't leaving right yet. He still had a whole day to do nothing but kick his feet up in the common room and relax. He'd dug out a bag of chips that clearly wasn't his (or was it?) and was flipping quickly through various channels in the hopes of finding something halfway decent to watch. He didn't want to be preached to or bitched at or lectured. He just wanted something mindless but Sunday mornings were proving harder for that than he'd originally thought.

Eventually, he settled on some news program. The broadcaster was some older, distinguished lady wearing a see through top and Nathan was counting the number of times her chest pressed hard enough against that top and made it able for him (and everyone) to see things. He was up to four so far. Who knew news was so entertaining?

[It's an open CR and this might be the last time Nathan's out and about before he leaves. He's probably going to sneak out and not tell anyone and then go die. Oops. Anyway, yes, wide open.]

Angelica was hungry, so she ventured out to the common area on the fourth floor. "Um, hi," she said to the boy who was already there. "Is the food in the kitchen for everyone?"

Sam wasn't great at concepts like personal property -- when it wasn't her own, anyway -- and had already concluded that common room fridge food was for everyone. She spared Nathan a quick "hey" while making a beeline for the fridge, in search of something to snack on.

With a can of Cherry Coke in hand, Kate made her way up one floor. Possibly looking for Nathan, though she'd probably not admit that if asked.

Unceremoniously, she flopped down beside him. "What are we watching?"

Due to some weird blip that made no sense and could not be explained, Ariel had no idea why she didn't get to meet as many of the new kids at the picnic as she was hoping to, but she hadn't, so she had some working to do. She bounced downstairs to see if any of them had discovered the common room yet.

"Hey, new ki--" And then she spotted Nathan there and her shoulders sunk in disappointment. "Oh," she said, trying hard not to let it show, but it did. "You're not a new kid..."

"Are you educating yourself about the world?" Ramona asked curiously, wandering in to find a seat. She crossed over to steal some of his already-pilfered chips first, though. "On purpose and everything?"
