2nd Floor Common Room | Sunday Evening

So, Jim had missed the picnic.

He didn't really have a good excuse for it other than 'I was out late last night and my ass slept all day' either. Granted, it had been really good sleeping but not at all that exciting. It meant spending all day with his bed and his roommate's creepy stuff. He would have rather spent it outside, enjoying the free food and checking out the new students.

But, managing to wake up, tame his hair and put on clean clothes was going to have to suffice. Even better, he'd made his way down to the common room and found a box of cereal that hadn't gone stale that was going to be his dinner.

Cereal poured, Jim flopped down on the couch and put his feet up on the coffee table. Maybe there was something good on television. Space Battles was always on somewhere, right?

[Open, of course. I missed the picnic because of family commitments, woe. So, I post now because why not?]

"Good evening," Ulrik greeted cheerfully. "And what is on tonight?" he asked, gesturing at the TV.
pursuedthestars: ([neu] chill outside)

"That's a good question, man," Jim said, glancing up at Ulrik. He kept hitting the button to change the channel. "I haven't found anything interesting yet. It's kinda sad."

[Sorry, passed out hard just before this ping came through.]

"How do you define interesting, then?" Ulrik had to know.

[ooc: THAT'S FINE I will just make you SP if you're up for that :D]
pursuedthestars: ([neu] deep thoughts)

"Able to keep my attention for more than five minutes," Jim quipped, flipping a few more channels. "So far, the closest I've come is some movie where a zombie blew up a tank."

[Totally up for it!]

"And what, precisely, is a 'zombie'?"
pursuedthestars: ([hap] all smiles)

"Dead person come back to life," Jim said around a mouthful of cereal. "They usually wanna eat brains or skin or something. Sounds appetizing, doesn't it?"

Yeah, right.

"Sounds slightly blasphemous," Ulrik said, making a bit of a face. "Please tell me it's just fiction?"

"Well..."

He weighed the pros and cons of what to tell Ulrik about things like that. He came from a place where aliens were chummy (sometimes) with humans. Hard to disbelieve in zombies.

"Honestly, I'd never say anything is fiction. Better to keep an open mind so not to be freaked out."

[identity profile] nomelancholy.livejournal.com 2013-01-06 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, clearly Ulrik had yet to set foot in Caritas. "I don't know, I think this place has a way of surprising even the openest of minds."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] distance)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-01-06 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I think we can agree on that," Jim said and even gave a little salute with his spoon. "Besides, I don't think you have to worry about zombies too much. From what I've seen, they're kinda...slow.:

[identity profile] nomelancholy.livejournal.com 2013-01-06 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's a relief," Ulrik said. "Because I'd really rather like to keep my brains inside my head and off someone else's plate."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] lean)

"You find me one person that doesn't want that and I'll be shocked," Jim snickered, finally settling on...some sort of movie. There was blood and guns. It looked promising. "You go to the picnic today? Am I the only one that missed it?"

[identity profile] nomelancholy.livejournal.com 2013-01-06 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"Quite possibly," Ulrik said with a nod. "It was quite a crowd- or perhaps it just felt that way, given the weather. The majority of us spent the day huddled around a bonfire."
pursuedthestars: ([hap] doofus)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-01-06 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Cold, huh?" Stating the obvious there, Jim. "Anyone good in the new bunch? I mean, obviously, it's gonna be hard to to my group because of me but, you know."

He was pretty damn shameless.

"There was a girl from even farther up-time than you," Ulrik shared. "Or, at least. Her pet dinosaur was. I'm not sure if that means she was as well."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] stupid words)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-01-06 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Jim glanced over at Ulrik for a second. "How is a dinosaur a pet? Aren't they huge?"

[identity profile] nomelancholy.livejournal.com 2013-01-06 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't ask me," Ulrik shrugged. "I didn't even know they existed until yesterday. It was about yay high," he demonstrated, holding his hand up above his head as far as he could reach, "and teeth like you wouldn't believe."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] stare)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-01-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh."

Well, that sounded like something to see.

"Was it friendly?"

[identity profile] nomelancholy.livejournal.com 2013-01-06 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I still have all my limbs," Ulrik said with a shrug. "So, I think I'll have to go with yes."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] hey there)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-01-06 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"And I'm very glad to see you have all your limbs," Jim said, snickering. "Talking to you while you were favoring a bloody stump of a leg would be weird."

Also gross.

[identity profile] nomelancholy.livejournal.com 2013-01-06 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why?" Ulrik said innocently. "I'd take care not to bleed on you, after all."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] forward)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-01-06 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because --" Jim snickered. "Well, if you've got a bloody stump, I'd hope you'd be in the hospital unless you're just that tough of a guy."
