Second floor common room- Thursday night

Feeling particularly social today, Stacey had gone into the common room and made popcorn. She'd even made sure there was moddable popcorn seasoning available in case anyone else wanted some, and she could even put some on hers and not have to worry about it. Go Team Diabetes!

With snacks achieved, she found a seat and turned on the TV, and found that the channel was still on those same orange people from class. And when she went to change the channel... the batteries wouldn't work in the remote.

"...This is not funny," she decided, hitting the buttons on the remote again in case it decided to work this time.


[Idek, guys. Come on in!]

"Cool," Freddie said. "I don't think I've seen you around before so, just started this month, I'm guessing?"

"Yep. I'm a newbie," Matt admitted. "So far I've found the place fairly strange. So are you an alien? Most people I've met are aliens, know an alien or tasered and alien."

"Well that depends," Freddie said, getting his nerd on. "Because if you're an alien, that would mean I'm an alien to you. So it's sort of a relative thing. But I'm from Earth. Seattle, if you want specifics."

"Nope. Just a New Yorker," Matt said shaking his head. "I think you might be the first normal guy I've met here. And I hope you realize I think that's a good thing."

"Hey, I think of it as a good thing too," Freddie said. "I mean, it would be cool to be an alien or move stuff with my mind, but I like just being a guy. I mean, I'm sort of internet famous, I guess, but that's no big thing."

Freddie Benson used 'humble-brag'! It was... not very effective.

"Yeah, I'm a little behind the times here," Matt admitted. "Plus being blind makes it a little hard for me to access. Are you one of those guys on youtube?"

"SplashFace," Freddie said. "At least, we started out there. We have our own website and domain now. And... you know, I don't know if our show is just as good if you can't see it. I've never even thought about that."

It had actually given him enough pause to think about how they'd do a blind-friendly episode.

"Well I could always listen to it," Matt said. "What's the website?"

[identity profile] randomspanish.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
"iCarly dot com," Freddie said. "We actually film half of it live here on the island every week. We being me and Sam Puckett, if you've met her at all."

[identity profile] childhood-taunt.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Nope, haven't met her," Matt said shaking his head. "Is she cute?"

[identity profile] randomspanish.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Freddie said with a happy sort of nod. "She really kinda is. And she's my girlfriend, so."

He paused, and pulled a little face. "Wow. Never actually said that out loud before. Huh."

[identity profile] childhood-taunt.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Congratulations?" Matt offered. "I'm guessing this is a new thing?"

[identity profile] randomspanish.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," Freddie explained. "I mean, we've been friends for awhile, but the whole dating thing is new. She used to be more out to humiliate or hurt me in new and interesting ways."

Such a healthy foundation for a relationship. Really.

[identity profile] childhood-taunt.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Which is probably more healthier than any of Matt's future relationships.


"Really," Matt said with a frown. "Sounds like she's a bit of a bully."

[identity profile] randomspanish.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no," Freddie said. Actually, it was kind of exactly what Sam was at times. "I mean, she's actually stopped doing that sort of thing, so, it's cool. Now it's just boyfriend-girlfriend stuff."

[identity profile] childhood-taunt.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Well that's pretty nice," Matt replied. "I've never had anything steady like that."

[identity profile] randomspanish.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"In terms of my dating, this is a new thing," Freddie admitted. "So, yeah. It's nice."

"So, you settling in okay, even with all the aliens?" It seemed a good time to get the conversation off himself.

"Can't complain," Matt said twirling his cane a bit. "I'm a bit of a bookworm but I'm making some friends."

[identity profile] randomspanish.livejournal.com 2012-01-20 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Cool, cool," Freddie said. "I like to read too, but mostly about tech stuff. And model trains. And sandpaper. You know, the normal nerdy things."

There was nothing normal about Freddie's nerdiness.
