2nd Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[abitlowkey]

Watching television was always an interesting experience if you asked Loki. Tonight was no different as America's Next Top Model was on.

"I was far more attractive than any of these girls," Loki decided, settling in to watch them bad-mouth each other during the confessionals.

And he could walk better as either gender, thank you.

[Open!]

"We're watching models?" Tara didn't want to sound excited, but she kind of did.

[abitlowkey]

You and your models, Tara.

"It was what was on," Loki said, perhaps a bit defensive about it.

[life_inshadow]

"I'm not complaining," Tara promised. "I'm the one who was on a runway like a week and a half ago, so ... I can deal with the objectification for a little while."

[abitlowkey]

"It appears they do more whining than I had thought from that unfortunate weekend I was a woman." A beat. "The first time."

As if Butters would ever want to miss an episode of ANTM if he could help it! His mood was improved significantly more, too, when he found he and the bucket of popcorn under his arm had arrived successfully in the common room he preferred.

"Woo-hoo!" he said triumphantly. "Second floor! And the party's already started!"

[abitlowkey]

Oh, it was him. "There's no party here," he assured Butters. "Unless, perhaps, you have brought those orange puffy snacks."

Cheetos, Loki. Cheetos.

"Um," Butters looked down at his popcorn with a sad, disappointed expression. Oh! If only he had grabbed the right snack!

"No," he admitted, hanging his head in shame. "But I did bring popcorn. Is that still okay?"

[life_inshadow]

"Hey," Tara said. "Want some candy? I think there are some leftover chocolate eggs somewhere."

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

"Oh, sure, yeah!" Butters's eyes lit up easily with the prospect of sweets. "Thanks! I'd sure love some! Chocolate eggs are, like, the fourth best thing about Easter!"

"Candy! Thanks for sharing!" As one of Kenzi's hands plunged into the bucket he was holding.

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

Butters glared at Kenzi and her sticky fingers in his bucket, but the conversations so far had reminded him of the importance of the Easter spirit, so he let it slide this time.

"Of course," he said. "It wouldn't be nice if I didn't share my popcorn and everyhin'."

"That seems a little conceited," Anna pointed out. It was possible she'd been here all along. When she didn't want to be noticed she wasn't.

[abitlowkey]

"Not if it is true," Loki replied primly.

[dressedinblood]

"Well, no, it would still be conceited. But also true." Some of the girls were very pretty, though, so she wasn't sure if it was true. Of course, most of them also looked like they needed about five sandwiches.

"Hey, Anna," Kenzi had gone to get a Diet Coke and come back, and she toasted Anna. "You free tomorrow?"

[dressedinblood]

Anna rarely had what one could call 'plans,' so she said, "Sure," before she thought to ask, "Wait, why?"

There were times that Susan missed the standard meal times of her old school. Namely when the fifth floor had no food that wasn't awful in her opinion and she had to either look for more or go out somewhere.

Though it did give her a chance to glance at the television and judge whatever was on. "I don't want to know, do I?" she asked, fully well knowing the answer was no.

[abitlowkey]

"Only if you are not fond of girls making snide comments at each other when they're not in sight of each other."

A beat.

"And something with maple syrup."

[inaskinnyway.livejournal.com]

Oh, great, now she had to ask.

"Maple syrup?"

"It's taken me a few years to figure this out, but I think the students here might be fans of reality shows," Bruce joked. He figured he'd check the common rooms on his way back from a workout. Sure enough, one of them had people. And model competitions.

[abitlowkey]

"Might, big brother?"

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"Understating it for effect," Bruce said. "Even I've been known to watch some, which stuns some people. I don't know why."

Bruce was a goddamned liar.

Kenzi wandered in and plopped down on the couch with a grin. "Has anyone slapped anyone else yet? Oh, there's Tyra. Great hair."

[abitlowkey]

"Not that I have seen," Loki replied, eyeing her for a moment before returning to his purloined popcorn. "Does that happen often?"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"They get into it sometimes," Kenzi said, gleeful. "One girl drinks all of another girl's energy drink. Someone else hogs the phone for too long. Someone else sabotages another girl getting to a meeting on time. Then the yelling and pushing start, and it's all downhill from there."
