Second Floor Common Room, Friday Afternoon

[arsenicmauls]

In the semester that she'd been here, Gert had learned that there were basically two reasons to be in a common room: to watch a bad movie or to try to pawn bagels off on people. Today, shockingly, was an example of neither.

No, today she had Chinese food to give away (seriously, what was it with the delivery guys in this town and bringing way more food than any one person needed?) and the movie she was watching, about a fish looking for his son, was actually pretty good. Imagine that.

Old Lace seemed personally moved by this movie. She was making whimpery noises at the sad parts and everything.

"See, then the thing is, wouldn't the bear have some kind of weapon besides its... bearness?" Gert wondered. "If it was going to rob a bank, you'd think it'd at least be armed."

What even was this conversation?

"Maybe they have super sharp claws made of steel." This really was the strangest conversation Alex ever had. It probably would not be the strangest by the time she graduates.

"Or laced with poison or something," Gert guessed. "I think I've seen that in a movie. Please don't turn out to be a supervillain and use that."

"I'll try not to," Alex said, chuckling. It was more likely something the villains she'd know in the future would do.
