Third Floor Common Room; Monday Morning [01/04].

[howareyanow]

Well, Wayne hadn't really gotten much of a chance to get the word out about Monday Morning Breakfast to any of the new kids, but, fuck, there were only four of them, and where word of mouth failed, it seemed this place had a good habit of spreading word of nose once things really got cooking. And he felt much less crunched for time now that he didn't have a first period class (or any class on Mondays, fuck!), so he coudl really enjoy just a good solid morning full of making food and feeding friends.

With it being the first MMB of the semester, he stuck with all the usual, often moddable classics, especially the pancakes and the bacon and the eggs and potatoes, but also some fruit for more healthfully minded, plenty of juice and milk in the fridge, and, of course, some good fucking coffee in the pot.

It was, after all, the most important meal of the day, especially when that day was Monday!

“Oh. Something smells wonderful!” Enola exclaimed as she entered the common area. “Is this for everyone or is there members only breakfast club here of some sort?”

And then she blinked remembering her manners. “I’m sorry. So rude of me. I am Enola Holmes.”

[howareyanow]

"Well," said Wayne, "do I look like fucking Molly Ringwald to you?"

But, that said, he looked up from his pancakes to preen slightly over this newly established, maybe-not-so-elite breakfast club.

"Only requirement fer membership," he declared staunchly, "is bein' a students here, and, even then, we'd be likeleh to consider exceptions!"

Then his head turned from the mystery spot in the far distance he'd been staring off into to the new face, and he nodded. "Enola," he greeted. "M'Wayne. How are ya now?"

[notfinishedyet]

Well. That was a little vulgar but Enola was not about to turn down a well cooked breakfast. “I’m afraid I’m not aware of this Molly Ringwald but I will assume you do not resemble each other in the slightest,” she replied cheerfully as she started a cup of tea. “Is this something that occurs everyday?”

"Goooooooooood moooooooooorniiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Someone was excited for her class tonight. And the start of the new semester. And, like, had really just woken up in a good mood.

Guess who.

[howareyanow]

Was it Miss Dozy? Sir Foomy? This pancake Wayne was flipping?

"Nina." She got, of course, the usual nod. "How are ya now?"

[bookbeltof_love]

It was definitely the pancake.

"I'm wonderful!!!!!!!!" she gushed, bouncing a little. "And you?????????"

It was hard not to add extra words but, like, traditions had to be observed.

[notfinishedyet]

Well, Enola was already familiar with that voice and volume.

"Good morning, Nina," Enola said cheerfully behind her cup of tea. "You seem rather chipper today."

[bookbeltof_love]

"Enola!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi!!!!!!!!!!" Nina said brightly. "Like, what's not to be chipper about today??????????? It's the first day of new classes and I'm teaching tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Yes. Yes, they let her teach, Enola.

Elli was not nearly as exuberant as Nina though she smiled upon hearing the other girl's excitement for the day.

She wandered into the common room.

"Good morning, Wayne!" she said brightly.

[howareyanow]

No one needed anyone to be even remoteleh as exuberant as Nina was, anywhey.

"Elli!" The greeting came with Wayne's own brand of exuberance, which meant there was slightly more cheerful intonation in the gruff greeting than there may have otherwise had been. "How are ya now?"

[snowdroplace]

"I'm well, thank you!" she said, with a soft laugh. "And yourself?"

[notfinishedyet]

"Hello!" Enola said getting up to introduce herself. "I am Enola Holmes. Brand new student from another time period. And you are?"

[snowdroplace]

"Oh, Goddess!" Elli said, with a little bit of a laugh. "But that is one way to get it out of the way, isn't it? It's a pleasure to meet you, Enola! I'm Elli, from another universe, and I've been here nearly a year."

Without a first period class on her schedule this semester (and thank god for that; she was going to scream if she wound up in another creative writing class where the specter of her mother's ire would be looming over her the whole time), Astrid was a little excited to maybe make it up to Monday Morning Breakfasts again despite the almost certain ensuing SP.

"Morning, everyone," she greeted the room as a whole with a soft smile before making her way over to grab something to drink first.

[howareyanow]

"Astrid!" It was good to see her pop 'round again, but, really, Wayne was glad to see anyone pop 'round for MMB, and it was practically tradition that people returned out of the woodwork at the beginning of a new semester fer a bit, too. "How are ya now?"

[snowdroplace]

"Happy New Year, Astrid!" Elli greeted cheerfully. "And good morning as well!"

[white_oleander]

"Happy New Year, Elli," Astrid couldn't help smiling a little at the brightness in the greeting. "I hope it's going to be a good 1995/2021. You ready for the new semester?"

[notfinishedyet]

"Good morning," Enola responded. "How are you? My name is Enola Holmes. New to the school."

[white_oleander]

"I had a feeling," Astrid smiled a little, because, well, new faces and everything. "I'm good, thanks. Astrid Magnussen. Not so new to the school. It's nice to meet you, Enola. Do you like it so far?"

[legionqueen]

Hopefully there was plenty of that bacon, because where else would Jules and Cam be but the third floor common room this morning?

"Good morning, Wayne," Jules greeted, as she found herself a spot to sit.

[bookbeltof_love]

"Hiiiiiiii Jules!!!!!!!!!!" Nina chirped. "Hi Camden!!!!!!! Happy Monday!!!!!!!!!"

[howareyanow]

Not only was there plenty, but there was some in both proper and spare parts forms!

"Jules! Camden!" They both got a nod in greeting. "How are ya now?"

[notfinishedyet]

Enola almost spilled her tea at the sight of a large cat. "My goodness!" she exclaimed. "Is that a mountain lion? In the dorms?!"

[unusual_sith]

Lana smelled the Monday morning breakfast and came up to join in. "Good morning, Wayne." She smiled at him. "How are you this morning?"

She was so close!

[howareyanow]

Wayne had to pause.for a moment, eyes.closed, until a faint sound of dismay managed to escape.

Somehow, when it was.close, it almost made it worse.

But he would soldier on.

"Good. N'you?"
