Second floor common room- Monday morning

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine only had one class on Monday, and she had just planned on getting some caffeine before having to go, except she walked into the common room to find puppies. Random puppies. Adorable, tiny, fluffy baby puppies.

She didn't know where they came from and obviously they wouldn't be staying, but could anyone blame her if she ignored the caffeine to pick one up and cuddle him? (The answer was no, not unless they were a monster.)


[Snow day! You need puppies, come play.]

Nina didn't even know the other girl and she still gave her a doubtful look.

"You're never going to drink again??????????"

A beat.

"I'm, like, Nina, by the way!!!!!!"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Sabine," she returned. "And I'm not planning on it. Can't think of any reason I'd want to."

Because it was funny to read, Sabine.

"I guess so," Nina said, still dubious. "Like, you could still have a drink at a party though, if it's just the one."

"Maybe. But I also don't go to a lot of parties," Sabine said.

Except for this, clearly a puppy party.

"There haven't been that many parties, I don't think, since I got here," Nina mused, picking up one puppy to nuzzle. "Maybe there, ought to be like, I don't know, monthly dorm parties????????"

"People might actually go for that," she said thoughtfully, scritching this puppy right behind the ears. "We end up in common rooms either bored or looking for food anyway, I hear parties fix both things?"

"That's the theory of them, anyway," Nina agreed cheerfully. "And, like, we could even do them themed if they hit around an Earth holiday, and if not just be like 'hey, it's time for a party, who needs a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I'm not quite up on the holidays," she admitted, and she wasn't sure she was a fan of the current ones. "There is one coming up soon, though."

Which would actually be perfect!

[bookbeltof_love]

"Is there???????????"

Nina wasn't from Earth either, so holidays were not yet a thing she was up on.

"That makes the time work out really nicely though!!!!!!!!!!"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I'd have to read up on it... and find out when it is. But we could make it happen." And maybe Sabine needed distractions like this that she could really focus on.

[bookbeltof_love]

"And we should, like, totally make it happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Another girl might be concerned about railroading someone who was basically a stranger into party planning with her, but not Nina.

"How about we do a few days research and then touch base to, like, see what we've come up with?????"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine was proving pretty easygoing with this stuff as long as she might be able to make something for it, anyway.

"Great, sounds like a plan."

Surely this would go well!
