5th floor common room- Monday evening

[inaskinnyway.livejournal.com]

Susan knew that this place was much different than her own world- it still felt strange to think of it that way but she supposed that was the best way to put it- and she was determined to adapt as quickly as possible. The most glaring differences were the technological ones, and so she'd started there.

She'd quickly decided that anyone who took longer than five seconds to deduce what a light switch was for and how to work it was an idiot. With that accomplished, she moved on to the common room, testing out whatever it was she didn't immediately recognize and see if she couldn't figure it out. To her surprise, it hadn't been difficult to work anything. It was almost as if she already knew how to turn these things on and make them go, which she knew was ridiculous. She'd never seen these devices before, so there was no way that she would know how to operate them, and therefore they just had to be simple to operate.
The only thing that was causing any trouble at all was the television. Susan knew that pushing the button would make it turn on, and she'd figured out that pushing these other buttons would make whatever was on the screen change. Of course, anyone coming into the room would find her doing so by standing next to the television and making the channels change that way. She was already deciding everything on this thing was drivel. There would never be any reason to learn to use the remote.

"It's not acting evil again, is it?" Jack asked as he came into the room with a armful of snacks. "Because if it's showing that purple dinosaur again I'm taking a bat to it."

"Oh, good!" said Rosella, poking her head in through the common room door and deciding to come right in, smile on her face. "More people! Figuring out the television set, are we?"

Yes, she might be a little proud of the fact that she knew all about what that was.

"Oh, hey," Petra said from the doorway, "is Vampire Prom on?" Not that she was a big Vampire Prom fan--she had personal issues with pop culture vampires--but she needed something familiar. Badly.

"There's rarely anything worth watching on," Elphaba remarked as she entered the common room. She'd enjoyed her evening here yesterday, and so it only made sense to come back up. She had a small bowl of apples in her hands, which she set on a table. "You're more than welcome to an apple, if you like."

"Is this a welcome to the world of technology?" Bruce asked, strolling into the common room. He liked getting out a lot at the beginning of semesters. So much to learn about people at that time. He made that guess because, really, who didn't use the remote?
