Second floor common room- Sunday afternoon

[mummyspromdate.livejournal.com]

Was it bad that this place didn't take as much getting used to as expected? Sure, day one was filled with a lot of information and surprise and everything. Maddie was rooming with a girl with time traveling parents and a dinosaur, she'd gotten the rundown on the possibility of turning into a boy from a talking pink pony who held mirrors, there was a girl from an alternate universe of where she came from and also at least two Avengers hanging around, one of which was supposed to be dead in Maddie's time. When she went to bed last night, she wasn't sure she was going to be sticking around.

And then this morning she woke up, remembered that she'd been a superhero-in-training two days ago who was going to be a walking ghost in like ten years, and she realized she wasn't really in a different situation than she was before. Well, here they weren't going to ask her to save the world at all, which was exactly the thing she'd been trying to get away from anyway.

Since her side of the room still looked too depressingly empty to want to hide out in there, Maddie ventured out into the common room to check it out. Where "check it out" meant "find a seat on the sofa and make sure they had cable."

"'Dear Principal Winchester, There are too many places to be stabbed these days. We require adequate warning systems to prevent such a thing. Sincerely, Currently Unstabbed Students of Fandom High,'" Jessica recited. "I think that will work well."

"I can't see why anyone would be against not getting stabbed," Toby said. "Clearly, this will work."

"Go ahead and draft the letter and I'll be along to sign it after you have, too," Jessica said.

"Don't think I won't," Toby said solemnly. "It's a cause I can get behind."

"Anti-stabbing? I think it's a cause everyone can," Jessica said. "The sooner it's written, the sooner we can improve the safety of those corridors."
