4th Floor Common Room, Friday night

[intotheout]

It was Tip's first Friday night as a high schooler, and there was no adult supervision in sight. Not that the supervision of adults had ever seemed all that functional or effective to her, but it still felt like it was an occasion to be marked with some sort of youthful exuberance or irresponsibility.

So here she was, sitting with her feet on the cushions in the common room, ready to eat her way through an entire bag of sugar snap peas in one sitting (her taste for snack foods had never really recovered from six weeks of eating out of vending machines when she was eleven) and watch MTV (not so much forbidden back home as awkward: Mom kept getting way to into the romances and J.Lo spent the whole time asking a barrage of questions).

There was some kind of supernatural teen drama on about selkies. The plot appeared to be made up of quick bursts of inexplicable action interspersed with longing looks exchanged between the romantic leads.

. . . She kind of missed her awkward family.

Hanna wandered sleepily into the room, Velcro frolicking around her ankles as she stumbled in. "Hi, roomie." She smiled and flopped down on the couch on the other side. "Can not sleep. What is this?"

"Teenage selkies in love," Tip said. "Their love triangles are extra violent."

"The shapechangers?" Hanna gave the TV screen a bewildered look. "...Is she trying to drown that girl?"

Very very violent.

"Looks like," Tip agreed. "I think the guy who asked her out earlier is the other one's boyfriend."

"So, wait, he is -- 'cheating' on her? Then why is this girl trying to drown her?"

Because TV, Hanna.

"I have no idea," Tip said, and offered her bag of snacks. "Snap pea?"

"Okay.. .oh, thank you." Hanna took one and nibbled on it, before taking a second to look at it, then nibbling more appreciatively. "What do you think of your classes so far?"

Of course! Snap peas were amazing.

"They're not bad. We had some good discussion in music and Shakespeare. And the adventuring class shouldn't be too weird." Especially if she and Ringo got to keep making up stories about the locals.
