Fourth floor common room- Thursday evening

[stacyexperiment]

Gwen figured that as a treat for surviving most of her first week here (literally and figuratively), she'd just use a little bit of the spending money she'd been given before coming here to order a pizza, because she didn't feel like trying to cook.

When the delivery guy showed up with several she'd figured they were for deliveries elsewhere, but then there was a conversation including sentences such as "I only ordered one. One small," and "I'm not paying for all these," and "How do you even make money?"

Long story short, Gwen had a bunch of pizzas and she was only one girl so someone was going to have to help her with these.

[Possibly a little slow till after work but whatever, open CR!]

Johnny had spent some time over in Baltimore today and just flew back in a streak of fire. It was a sexy streak, but a streak nonetheless.

Anyway, he landed on the roof of the dorms and started to make his way downstairs when he smelled the wonderful smell of too many pizzas. He could make it to his floor later. He needed to build up fuel after that flight.

"Thanks for getting enough for everyone, Gwen," Johnny said as he walked into the room. "It's appreciated."

[stacyexperiment]

"You're welcome? But apparently the pizza guy is a crazy person who comes armed with too many pizzas on the regular. Who knew," Gwen said, gesturing to the boxes. "Take as much as you want."

"Oh, don't worry, I was planning on it," Johnny said as he stopped in the kitchen to get some soda. "Maybe it was raining pizza on the guy and he just decided to give it all away for some reason."

[stacyexperiment]

Gwen started to speak, then started over.

"I was going to say that was a long shot but it wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've heard so far," she admitted.

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure that it didn't happen," Johnny said. "I was just flying around and didn't see anything weird like that."

[stacyexperiment]

"Probably a good thing. Imagine the poor smushed pizzas," Gwen said, taking a slice. "Did you see anything cool?"

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"I was over in Baltimore earlier, and I have to say, Maryland's kind of pretty from flying height," Johnny said, coming back and grabbing a slice of pizza. "Also, Maryland's bigger than I thought. Who knew that Baltimore was that far away?"

[stacyexperiment]

"Is it? I should probably look up where we actually are," she frowned. But then she go rid of the frown by taking a bite of pizza, because pizza was awesome.

"Yeah, it's about 90 miles, give or take. That's longer than I was expecting to fly today, so seriously, this pizza was well timed," Johnny said.

"That is a lot of pizzas." Rapunzel had only had pizza a handful of times, so she was pretty proud of herself for even recognizing it and remembering the correct name! She peeked in, Pascal perched on her shoulder, a little hesitant because this wasn't her common room (which she knew wasn't a rule or anything but still) and what if those pizzas weren't for sharing, anyway?

[stacyexperiment]

"You're telling me," Gwen said. She'd ordered one small! One! Small! What was this service? "Grab some, there's no way I can eat it all."

And okay wow, that was some hair.

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

Rapunzel grinned at her, a little relieved that she didn't have to broach the question of whether the pizza was all Gwen's. (Maybe she was stockpiling for winter! Rapunzel didn't know how pizza worked!)

"Thank you," she said gratefully, scampering over to grab some after tugging her hair in so none of it was out in the hallway, at least. "Are you new? I'm just guessing 'cause I haven't seen you before, but I also might be totally rude and unobservant, too, if you're not new."

She would feel really bad, if that was the case.

[stacyexperiment]

"Yeah, I'm new. Gwen," she said. It was weird to introduce herself to so many people. Usually she just tried to avoid them all and hope they didn't pipe up in class so she didn't have to listen to them. "Guessing you're not new then?"

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

"Only not-new because of your batch of new people," she said with a nod and a bright smile. "Rapunzel, and this is Pascal," she added, gesturing to the chameleon on her shoulder, who also waved. "I've been here a whole...summer. Already. Wow, that went really fast. But anyway, hi."

[stacyexperiment]

"Hi," Gwen said, peering at Pascal. "Is that your pet, or your roommate or something?" She knew already to ask.

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

"He doesn't like the P-word," Rapunzel said, rolling her eyes. "It's apparently kind of demeaning. But yeah, he's not my roommate. Isn't that weird, how that's a thing that happens here? Or did you not know that that's a thing? Because it is. People turning into animals, I mean."

[stacyexperiment]

"Yeah, the girl who wears the wings all the time mentioned it." And Gwen still thought Alana's wings were just a good costume. Like maybe she was boho. "This place just keeps bringing the weird."

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

"I think her wings are real," Rapunzel offered thoughtfully, tilting her head. "If you mean Alana. I've had classes with her. They're like, always on."

And she didn't see why they wouldn't be real, considering. She'd seen stranger things.

Hey, it was a girl from Johnny's class yesterday. Johnny hadn't even hit on her yet!

"The more sharing the food the merrier," Johnny said. "Hi there. You're in Thor's class, right?"

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

"You're the guy who was his own hero," Rapunzel said with a smile of recognition. "And you like spiders. Hi!"

Considering how many class introductions she'd been through, she was pretty pleased with herself for retaining anything, there.

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"You're like 80 percent there," Johnny said. "I like Spider-Man. He's a guy who dresses like an artistic representation of a spider."

"But he's not here. I am. Johnny Storm. Nice to meet you for real."

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

"I...have never heard of someone doing that, before. That's new," Rapunzel admitted cheerfully, before remembering her manners and waving brightly. "Um, I'm Rapunzel, hi. And the green guy's Pascal." The chameleon on her shoulder also waved, though less enthusiastically.

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"Hey, little guy," Johnny said to Pascal before looking back up to Rapunzel. "You don't come from a superhero world. It's different there. We're a lot of fun, though."

[likes-ducklings.livejournal.com]

"So I keep hearing," she said with a grin. "I mean, about things being different with...superheroes."

But what she hadn't heard before was someone including themselves amongst that number, so she followed that up with a thoughtful pause and a, "Wait, 'we'?"

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I wasn't kidding when I called myself my favorite hero," Johnny said. "I've saved my world a few times. I'd say it wasn't a big deal, but it really was."
