Common Room, 5th Floor, Monday Morning

[seeshowyoudie.livejournal.com]

After washing her unmentionables and hanging them around the room to dry solely to make Stannis twitch himself into a frenzy, Miriam wandered out into the fifth floor common room. She was rapidly becoming a big fan of the common room kitchen. As long as somebody's name wasn't on it (and maybe even if there was), she was quite happy to help herself to whatever she found. She poured herself a bowl of some chocolate crisp cereal and milk that was a day or two past its expiration but it didn't smell bad so what the hell, then plopped herself down on the couch with the remote control.

She flipped through the channels until she landed on a dumb horror movie. "Death does have a conscious plan," some gothy emo kid was saying, "and that it's been set into motion. Great. So, Newton's Third Law of Motion and well, look, I'm just guessing that it goes for Death, too, when he's working in our world. Newton says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, that means that if Death has taken action, so can we. And that that action may thwart Death's intent."

Miriam rolled her eyes at the screen. "Yeah, right," she said. "That's not how it works." There had to be something better on than this crap.
