Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [06/03].

[howareyanow]

Wayne was stubborn, especially when it came to things he didn't much care to think about, but, so help him, this waking up Monday morning and not really knowing what sort of place he'd be waking up in was starting to get to him a little bit, so he actually did twitch back a curtain before heading to the common room for a look outside, saw that everything looked normal again, and wondered if maybe some of all that from last week...and the week before...and the week before...was all just some sort of a fever dream or some bad eggs.

It didn't help, either, that when he did make it to the common room and checked the fridge, mostly expecting to find very little by way of appealing offerings and having to really push to make a decent breakfast out of it, he found all the stuff he remembered getting two Sundays ago that had disappeared last Monday. Which make him wonder if this Monday was actually last Monday, see: fever dream or perhaps some strange sort of other situation where the last week hadn't actually happened and he'd only thought it did.

But he still had a couple of cuts on his knuckles and probably that ruined shirt to prove otherwise.

Ah, well. If things were back to normal now....he would say he wouldn't look that gift horse in the mouth, but you knew Wayne was totally the sort of person that would inspect that gift horse's mouth so thoroughly, he might as well become a horse dentist.

But he was going to make breakfast, an actual breakfast with some real food, all the stuff for the omelettes and hashbrowns and sausage he was planning on making last Monday back and ready to be used. So he put on the coffee, got started on the cooking, and he supposed it would only be a matter of time before the girls started coming in.

Because tradition.

"OHMYGOOOOOOOOOOOOSH GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Guess who was a little excited today, Wayne? Guess!

[howareyanow]

Was it Nina? It was probably Nina. Wayne was going to go ahead and bet his whole left testicle that it was Nina.

When he was done wincing at that greeting, maybe. He might get used to that sort of thing eventually, but it didn't seem too terribly likeleh.

Still, nothing a little bit of squinting and nose wrinkling couldn't take care of, so Wayne took a moment to do just that before launching into his own brusque sort of greeting. "Nina! How are ya now?"

[bookbeltof_love]

And Nina was not the slightest bit sorry either about the abuse she put his eardrums through.

"I'm fantaaaaaaaaaastic!!!!!!!!!!!!" she bubbled, bouncing a bit. "How are you????????????"

[howareyanow]

Wayne was mildly considering maybe swinging by the store to pick up some nice earplugs to help him out before next Monday rolled around.

"Ohhh," he answered in the usual drawl, "not so bad. Have a good birthday, did ya? Managed to surive your..." So much disapproval in just one long pause, but he was already fixing her up a plate with a little of everything he made, and it was already finished and being handed over to her by the time the pause was done stretching itself out "...detention?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

So far today looked normal, and she didn't have to leave to check that nothing had exploded in the warehouse, so she figured she could spare the time to pop in here.

"Morning."

[howareyanow]

"Sabine." Wayne nodded in greeting; it was always good to see her pop in every once in a while, too, to break up the pretty consistant flood of two-blondes-and-an-alien for breakfast. "How are ya now?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Cautiously optimistic," she said, glancing towards the window. "How are you so far?"

[howareyanow]

Wayne's glance following Sabine's was his way of pretty much saying saaaaame.

But what he did say, of course, was the usual "Oh, not so bad," followed dedicatedly with, "Fix you a plate?"

[bookbeltof_love]

"SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess what's going on today??????????? GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And Nina was maybe a little excited about it! A little!

[seriesofbaddecisions]

You'd think by know Sabine wouldn't jump.

"No idea. What's going on today?"

[bookbeltof_love]

"Sabineeeeeee! SABINEEEEEEEEEEE! The animals are talking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And it was so, so great! So great!

Okuyasu had followed his nose into the common room, and it was honestly a surprise it had taken him this long to notice his roomie's monday morning habit.

"...is this all for you?" he asked, because he wasn't entirely certain that it wasn't. Wayne seemed like a man with a healthy appetite.

[bookbeltof_love]

"SIBLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nina had maybe not been as proactive as she should have been in keeping up with her sibling, but hey, he was here now.

"Good mooooooooooooooooorning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[handystand]

"Nina!" Okuyasu said, with enthusiasm that couldn't possibly match her's, but he definitely wasn't skimping. "Good morning to you too! You seem pretty happy!"

Admittedly, she had seemed pretty happy all the times they'd met up.

[bookbeltof_love]

"I am, like, super happy today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And she was! It was such a great day! Nothing could ruin it! "How have you been doing???????????? Oh my gosh, I'm sorry I haven't been checking in on you more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[howareyanow]

To be fairrrrrr, he really was, but even this amount of food would be a bit excessive even for him, even if he'd been spending a long day of nothing but chorin'.

But still, Wayne couldn't help looking over at Okuyasu, lifting a brow, and, fully knowing that his roommate was a bit made of spare parts, saying, in a very dry and very serious tone that passed for Wayne Sarcasm^TM, "Yes. All of it. Just for me."

Of course, he knew that it was hard to detect sarcasm out of someone who pretty much spoke in the same tone whenever he opened his mouth, so he helpfully added, "Just clearly ignore all the other people in the room currently eating it right now."

But, since he didn't mean it in a mean way, he then offered, "Hungry, Okuyasu? I'll fix you up a plate."

[handystand]

Okuyasu looked around, saw the other folks eating, and then beamed. "Hey, thank you, you're a good guy, Wayne," he said, completely wading unscathed through all sarcasm, because he hadn't detected it at all.

"This'll get me all energized for my class."

He was really hoping this week he'd still avoid having to do an entire obstacle course.

"This definitely beats all the weird food that was around last week."

[howareyanow]

"That's the idea," said Wayne, who was feeling like the last thing he'd want was to get Okuyasu all energized, but, fuck, at least he wasn't Nina. Either way, there was a plate, fully loaded, omelette, potatoes, sausage and fruit, being passed on over to his roommate with a nod.

"And I'm not sure half that stuff last week should've ever been considered food..."

He made do, though, and, if he was honest, he was actually a little proud of what he had been able to scrounge together last week.

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine hadn't talked to this guy at all, but she still gave a little wave when she saw him.

[handystand]

"Oh, hello!" Okuyasu responded, along with a wave of his own. "I'm Okuyasu Nijimura, it's good to meet you!"

He was nothing if not cheerful.

"Morning." Lana poked her head in, somewhat less enthusiastic than others. "Is breakfast about again? Can I help with anything?"

[howareyanow]

'Less enthusiastic' than others, which included Nina, was a pretty low bar to set there, bud.

"Lana." Wayne offered a nod. "Breakfast is, in fact, about again. S'tradition. Not much to help with; cooking's mostly done, but an extra hand for the clean-up after's always welcome. How are ya now? Fix you up a plate?"

[unusual_sith]

"I can do that," Lana agreed. "And yes please. I'm well; and you?"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"Hey, there," Sabine greeted her.

[unusual_sith]

"Good morning," Lana said, smiling. "Come to meet us for breakfast?"
