Fifth Floor Common Room, Friday Afternoon

Jeremy was getting a fake little sibling tomorrow. He was pretty pumped about it, because his three elder siblings and a twin sister meant he'd never been a big sibling before. Even a fake one. And he was taking this new responsibility very seriously.

By lounging on a common room sofa, sipping coffee and dictating stuff into his phone about everything he thought he should remember to tell the new kid.

"-- oh, and the deer? Are apparently actually that color just by nature."

Now if he could only get someone to type his ramblings out and make a coherent list of them by tomorrow.

[ooc: Open common room!]

Topher walked in just in time for that last bullet point and he raised his eyebrows.

"Dude," he said. "Whoever you're talking to should really get outside more often."
stars_and_money: (Trust in me.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Jeremy looked up, a mildly confused expression on his face. "Huh? Oh, I'm not talking to anyone, dude," he explained, waving his phone at the new guy. "I'm dictating. Taking notes."

Using a pen and paper was too much of a hassle.
dollpocalypse: (lol: tryin' not to laugh)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh.

"So... you're telling yourself that the deer are supposed to be that color?" Topher clarified, amused. "'Cause that might be worse."
stars_and_money: (Say something good.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"No," Jeremy replied, frowning and sounding amused at the idea all at the same time. "No, man, they're giving me a fake little sib tomorrow! I'm just trying to figure out what I should tell a newbie about this place and how we roll here."
dollpocalypse: (lol: ahaha plzleave)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
OHHHH.

"Gotcha," Topher said, clicking his tongue. "So, what, you're gonna play the recording for whoever you wind up with, or what?"

As far as notes went, index cards were a standby for a reason, Jeremy. Psh.
stars_and_money: (What to say.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well no," Jeremy said with a slight thoughtful twist to his lips. "I thought I'd at least listen to it later and just... Y'know, soak up the information again."

There was a slight chance he'd end up playing the recording to his little sib, yes.
dollpocalypse: (awk: bye now)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"So... studying." Topher raised one eyebrow. "Dude, that blows. It's break week."
stars_and_money: (Like I could do that.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not studying." Oh, sound a little more defensive about that, Jerms. "I'm just figuring out what to say. I'm making observations about our surroundings and thinking about what weirded me out when I got here."
dollpocalypse: (obnox: so do you get me the fridge or...)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"So you're recording your thoughts and then reviewing them," Topher summarized. "In other words, studying."
stars_and_money: (Uhh no.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Dude, how is that studying?" Jeremy wanted to know. "I'm not learning anything new."

Though to be fair, that tended to happen even when he was studying.
dollpocalypse: (!?: oh hey whassat)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Is that how studying was supposed to go? Topher didn't really do that.

"I always thought studying was supposed to be, you know, rehashing old stuff," he guessed. "Isn't it?"
stars_and_money: (That doesn't please me.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
And now Topher was getting a weird look. "Uhh, no?" Jeremy said. "How are you supposed to rehash stuff you haven't even learned yet?"
dollpocalypse: (conv: not too star trek is it?)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, see, you're supposed to study stuff they teach you in class," Topher said, although this was still just a guess because hey, genius. "And that way you know it better. Or some crap. I don't know."
stars_and_money: (Just another day and night.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm not studying," Jeremy decided and took a sip of coffee. "I'm just getting prepared, like a good big brother. It's a responsibility."
dollpocalypse: (conv: not too star trek is it?)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Topher laughed. "Ooookay, dude, whatever you say." He flopped down on the couch to make himself more comfortable. "Although? Maybe you should write it down."
stars_and_money: (So that's how it is?)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe," Jeremy allowed, though he didn't look like he was really considering it. "That just sounds like a lot of work."

Ariel definitely made sure that her trip home concluded in time for her to be back for the big exciting newbie picnic, but then she found that she had too much time to wait until then. She supposed she should enjoy the quiet before the storm, but she just got restless and went to find some good distractions.

Common rooms. Always a good place to start. "Hey, everyone!" she offered a smile as she slipped on in and found her way to the couch. "What's going on?"
dollpocalypse: (genius: at the computer)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Topher sighed, exasperated. Did he have to do everything? "One sec," he said, then made his way out of the common room and down to his dorm.

When he came back, he had his laptop tucked under his arm and reclaimed his spot on the couch as he opened up a word processor.

"Alright," he said. "Lay it on me."
stars_and_money: (What to say.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Jeremy looked mighty confused when Topher just took off like that; he was thankfully pretty fast in getting what was going on once the guy came back.

"Well, the island moves around," he said. "That's definitely the first point to make."
dollpocalypse: (lol: cute as a button)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeaaah, that was just his style. Sorry, Jeremy.

"Aw, you're just going to tell them that?" he said, wrinkling his nose. "That's no fun. Wouldn't it be more fun just to let 'em, you know, find out on their own?"

Jeremy threw a smile her way in greeting. "Not much," he said. "Just figuring out stuff for my new little sis or bro."

He was hoping for a girl, for the record. He liked girls.

"Other than that, just chillin'."
stars_and_money: (Uhh no.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Jeremy gave him a sceptical look. "I don't think that would be very responsible of me, dude." And Jeremy really was doing his best to be as responsible about all of this as he possibly good. Within the bounds of his laziness. "I don't want the kid to come up to me later and asking why I held back important info. I wanna be a totally wet big sib."

And one that was luckily willing to explain his personal slang.

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Ariel gave a nod. "That's probably a good idea," she agreed. "There's a ton of stuff to remember. Do you think you're going to try to ease him or her into things by starting out small and slowly building up to the weirder stuff, or do you think you'll drop the weird bomb right away and go from there?"
dollpocalypse: (lol: are you shitting me)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-07-01 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...Wet. Oookay.

"Right-o," Topher said, and typed it up. "Alright. Island moves, and you're... wet. Good to know."

Not dirty.
stars_and_money: (Lazing about.)

[personal profile] stars_and_money 2011-07-01 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Jeremy considered this for a moment. "I don't know, I think I'll just go all in," he said then. "I mean, I think it's good to get that out in the open straight away? And --" He raised his coffee cup a bit for emphasis on that word. "-- there's the chance the kid comes from someplace weird and won't even be shaken by any of it."
