Second Floor Common Room, Monday Morning
So, this week was evil. And it seemed to be plaguing not just Gert, which was good, because it meant that probably no one would blame her for hiding out in the common room where she could blast the air-conditioner and not worry about a too-cold dinosaur.
She was also wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt for the first time in ages, and while under normal circumstances that would definitely have made her feel uncomfortable, today she was certain that it was justified.
And now she was just going to drag a floor fan over to her and blast it in front of her face, turn on the TV, and --
What.
Yeah, so this show was about a guy who thought he was a merman.
And under the circumstances, Gert actually thought he was hot. What.

Don't ask.
She raised one eyebrow at the TV. "So is finding ridiculous TV programs your specialty, or...?"

War and murder were infinitely more crazy, after all.
Although a mermaid guy was still pretty unusual.

She didn't feel like she had a lot of room to judge people for the things they liked, this week. For reasons. "And you have to admire the craftsmanship on that tail."

'If mermaids were real' was kind of an iffy statement here.

"Yeah, I'd noticed that. Somehow still no mermaids."

Oh, what Gert would give for meta powers.

"You know," she said, "whatever's in the air that's making people feel... more attracted than usual."

"Can't see why anyone would, unless they were in a sickeningly new relationship and wanted to show it off," said the girl who was both single and too young to go anyway. "Otherwise it's just designed to make everyone else feel crappy."

She drank some more of her juice. "But at least going isn't mandatory."

Natalie was pretty sure she'd be making her own choice at the very last moment.

Anyway.
"So," she said after a moment, "any other super fun events to look forward to around here?"

Like that.

She was quickly persuaded not to when her eyes fell upon the television. What...
"The boyfriend's kinda cute," she said without putting too much thought into it.

But back at the boyfriend? Why weren't they showing him again?

Wait what was that?

...Sex pollen might have been making Gert dumber.
"Someone should write an email to whoever's in charge of student recruitment," she commented. "'More hot dudes who think they're part fish.'"

"Are you sure we don't have one of those already?" Emily asked, suddenly looking around as if some merman would come flopping for her to stare at. Staring would last around three seconds though.
But nope, no merman flopped in.

Other than that awkward weather pattern, of course.
