Fourth Floor Common Room, Sunday Evening

So, everyone was back from Skyrim safe and sound, and no one (at least, no one Joker knew of) had come down with dysentery, or Legionnaire's, or botulism, or tetanus, or anything. Success!

Beyond that, however, there was something much, much more important to celebrate: Eleanor's birthday!

As soon as they got back to the dorms, Joker picked up the flyers he'd put together weeks ago and started posting them in the halls, and then he got started on decorating the common room. This party was going to be EPIC! Or... well, they'd just had a week that was epic, and it wasn't as fun as it ought to have been. So, this party was going to be AWESOME!

Eleanor had been wanting to watch good movies for a change, so he'd lined up some of the best for the evening's entertainment. Snacks, pizza, cake, and ice cream rounded out the party's backbone, and all that was missing was the people.

Oh, and of course, because of the day's special surprise, Joker had scribbled "BYOB (Bring Your Own Baggage)" on the bottom of every flyer before he posted them.

(open post is open!)

"An abomination?" Eleanor asked, frowning. "Why are you afraid that you'll be an abomination?"

A small matter called tact occurred to Eleanor a moment later, forcing her to add, "That is, if you feel comfortable telling me. You don't -- have to, if you'd rather not."

She'd offer to share her own thoughts on 'FREAK,' but having been to Rapture with her, presumably he could fill in those gaps himself.

"It's nothing personal," Anders assured her. "An abomination is a mage who's been possessed by a demon. Usually it happens because someone tried to get some type of advantage from a demon, and you can't dabble with their kind just a little bit. Ask one into your life and it'll take all that you are."

Anders Disapproved of such behavior, clearly.

"Under our religious law, I'm a risk just by being a Circle runaway, and then even more of a risk because I haven't been tested to become a full mage yet -- I'm still an apprentice. Half the Templars would tell you I should be cavorting with demons nightly." He watched Eleanor as he spoke, hoping she would follow what he was saying.

Eleanor frowned, hoping that she was following along properly.

"So ... they keep mages locked up because of what they're afraid you might do," she said. "Is that it?"

"Well ... yes," Anders said. "Especially what we might do with demons."
