Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [08/31].

[howareyanow]

Wayne didn't get a chance to chat with many of the newbies on picnic day, meaning he didn't have many chances to let them know about Monday Morning Breakfast, but, hopefulleh, the breakfast would take care of letting them know itself through the power that was cooking aromas working its way through this school's odd kind of ventilation system. Or word would get around somehow. Or he'd just have a lot of leftovers for the week, and that was okay, too, though not exactly optimal.

Honestly, though, by Monday morning (though a bit of a later start than usual since he wound up with a class first period; that was hardly going to stop breakfast, though!), he was mostleh just feeling glad that, when he came into the common room, all the stuff he'd gotten for it was there and just the way he'd left them, there wasn't anything weird going on with any of the equipments or cupboards or dishes, no abundance of weird ingredients, no lurking gremlins, no nothing out of the ordinary....which was a little out of the ordinary, but Wayne, who was about 95% sure this island was going to try and fuck up the first Monday Morning Breakfast of a new semester, was not going to complain!


...not about that, anywhey!

"Hey. Something smells good," Miles said walking into the common room. "Dude, are you making breakfast?"

[howareyanow]

"Can confirm!" said Wayne, glad to now know that the power of good old home cooking to draw in people confined to a general enclosed space was still in effect. He said this with an expert flip of a pancake before turning to the other boy and offering out a nod. "How are ya now? Fix you up a plate?"

And once there was food in Troy's stomach, therefor taking care of one basic need, he could now focus on another one like socializing. Multitasking? Never really one of his strong suits.

"S'up, Miles?" he asked with a lift of his chin to the guy. "How's it going?"

It would be kind of interesting to see if his brain had managed to get a wrinkled as Troy's own since they last talked before the bus here.

[x_discospider_x]

Okay, so, despite the one small problem of his big sibling not actually being some mystical cat that was going to give him magical powers that also did not seem to understand the meaning of the word cool, this place not only had him setting up his room like a blanket fort out of respect for rooming with a hot girl and having one class on a Monday (and not even the first one, either!), so it still got major points, and the the fact that it smelled like breakfast in the morning? He was planning on staying in bed until his one class, which was about superheroes, but then he got hit with that bacon smell and practically floated down the hall as if it was leading him there by his nose.

"I knew I smelled food!" he declared proudly, honestly just glad that it was actually there and not just a figment of all his hopes and desires getting all up in his brain.

[howareyanow]

"Can confirm!" said Wayne, who was figguring...or almost hoping, really...that he'd be saying that a lot, and he did not mind, because someone actually liked when socializing came with rote phrases and responses that didn't require too much thinking about it because it was a little easier that way. He may have done a...slight double-take between Miles and this other kid who'd just come in with a slight furrowed brow, but then plowed right on ahead with his nod and his, "How are ya now? Fix you up a plate?"

Wei Wuxian recognized the guy from the shuttle and went over to say hi. "Hey, T-Bone. How's it going?" He lowered his voice a little. "Are you rooming with a girl, too?"


[Now posted in the right place. I hope.]

[grayskollar]

Were Adora and her growling stomach following the delicious smells? Of course they were.

Was she kind of staring at Wayne sadly due to one of her many unresolved childhood traumas leading to issues with asking for food? Also, yes!

[howareyanow]

At least this wouldn't be the first time there'd been that particularly awkward presence at the door in response to the call of Monday morning breakfast and the (completely bewildering to Wayne, but there it was) reluctance to accept that it was fer everyone.

Wayne had a pretty healthy appetite, sure, but not that healthy.

So he looked over and gave the girl a nod. "Mornin'," he said. "How are ya now? Fix you up a plate?"

Look, if a greeting weren't broken, don't fix it.

[x_discospider_x]

The cute girls at this school was a problem that Troy did not at all mind having, and now that he had some food in his stomach, he get around to giving one of them a look and a lift of his chin in cool greeting.

[sparkinyou]

"Hey Adora!" Miles said finishing his breakfast and taking it to the sink to wash. "Sleep better last night?"

[snowdroplace]

She wasn't new, but she didn't think that Wayne would mind her showing up.

"Good morning!" Elli said brightly as she wandered into the common room.

[howareyanow]

Wayne would absolutely not mind Elli showin' up at all. Matter of fact, it was real good to see her.

"Elli!" He gave her the brusqueness of a Wayne-style cheerful greeting. "How are ya now?"

[sparkinyou]

"Hi," Miles said blinking a bit as Elli entered the room. "Have we met? I'm one of the newbies. I'm Miles."

[legionqueen]

Jules (and Cam, naturally) made their way into the common room, drawn as they were by the scent of breakfast cooking.

"Wayne!" she said cheerfully, flopping down on the couch, resting her crutch on the edge. "It's so good to see you."

She probably looked a little different than the last time they'd spoken: hair a little shorter, muscles a little more defined... and also her left leg was now missing from just above the knee.

[ooc: okay, so I'm off to work shortly, so it'll be SP, but did I wake up early specifically so I'd have time to ping in here? YOU BET.]

[howareyanow]

"Jules! Camden," Wayne started, turning his head from his cooking a moment as he greeted them...

And, well, he wasn't the type to really notice something like the length of a girl's hair that much, and he certainly wasn't in the habit of noticin' muscles on girls that weren't the one he was dating, but even he could notice the crutch and the assumed reason fer it, so when his "How are ya now?" came out, it was significantly more uncertain and concerned that it may have typically been.

And it'd be interesting if he actually got a 'good'n'you' back fer that one.

Elli noticed the mountain lion first.

But, hey, she no longer burst into tears at the sight of Camden and that was progress even though she remained uneasy about the whole mountain lion thing.

... She was probably never going to get entirely past that.

"Goddess!" Elli said, as she noticed the other important thing. "What happened?!"

And then her brain caught up with her mouth and she flushed.

"That is, I mean, if you're willing to, I--"

She was just going to shut up and study her plate now, yes.

Arabella gave the other girl a curious look out of the corner of her eye. Back home she would immediately have clocked her as a Prime Animal Mage, like Cornelius' sister Diana, who rolled with two panthers when she had other Primes to impress. But here the rules were out the window, so who knew? Maybe the mountain lion was another student.

[scoffs_at_tradition]

"Happy first day of classes!" Shuri said, skipping into the room.

[snowdroplace]

"It's always a good day, isn't it?" Elli said, smiling.

Not that she had classes until later in the week but... details.

[howareyanow]

"Happy first day of classes," Wayne repeated back. He was pretty sure that wasn't anything remotely traditional, but it was coming from Shuri, so it got a pass.

"Shuri." And he was skipping the plate fer now and going right for handing her a mug of coffee first. "How are ya now?"

[toottootmagicflute]

Wei Wuxian got up, dressed in his black and red robes, tucked his flute in his belt and went looking for the dining hall. He followed the smell of food and sound of people and it led him into the common room. "Hello!" he said to Wayne cheerfully. "Is this where the students eat?"

[snowdroplace]

"Good morning!" Elli said, smiling at the new student from where she was sitting on a couch, nursing a cup of tea. "Happy Monday!"

She'd leave the food question for Wayne, not wanting to over-step.

[howareyanow]

"It is on Monday mornings!" said Wayne, with a brusque pride that squared his shoulders and he gave the (assumed) new student a nod. "How are ya now?" he asked. "Fix you up a plate?"

[thebeastofhouston]

"Oh, hey," Arabella said as she followed the delicious smells into the common room. "Eleanor wasn't kidding about this, either."

She was coming to accept that Eleanor hadn't been kidding about anything.

[snowdroplace]

"It wouldn't be very nice to kid about breakfast," Elli said, smiling. "So I'm glad it's as it should be! Welcome!"

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"This is busier than I've seen in a while," Sabine said as she walked in.

[snowdroplace]

"Oh, hello, Sabine!" Elli said, with a little wave from where she was on the couch.
