Second Floor Common Room; Thursday Afternoon [01/20].

[white_oleander]

Astrid had been thinking of ordering some food, but when she got to the common room to make sure there weren't already too many leftovers in the fridge already, she suddenly felt really disenchanted with the whole idea and changed her mind. So, instead, she drifted over to the couch, dropped into it with a sigh, and tucked up her legs, feeling really pensive about...everything. About her mother. About whether or not she wanted to go to New York with Paul Trout, about whether life was just a dead end at a certain point or if she'd just keep drifting between one thing to the next...

...at least this place was a little nicer than Rena's place, but she did sometimes miss everyone there. And the hustling here wasn't nearly as good.

[[ look, it's my favorite event, I have the day off, and I don't even need to feel bad about making whoever has radio suffer because that person is me. Everybody in the pool! Open common room is definitely open! ]]

Kurt had wandered in heading for the kitchen to drop off some leftovers that didn't fit in the fridge in the room. Hey he and Guillermo had been handwavely trying out some new recipes so there was a lot left to go around that even he with his supped up metabolism couldn't manage.

He stopped when he saw Astrid sitting on the couch and held up a bag of food. "Got fresh leftovers if you want any" he said simply, still feeling a little off despite all the cooking that had been going on so far that day.

Astrid, who was suddenly feeling much more like herself again and not that strange version of herself that had stayed in California instead of coming to Fandom, had to grin over at Kurt a little and let out a little laugh.

"That's....actually what I came in her for," she admitted, shaking her head with another small chuckle. "I got...distracted."

Sure, if that's what you wanted to call suddenly turning into the grimdark canon version of yourself for a hot second, go for it.

Kurt was about to invite her over to help herself when she found himself sitting on the couch beside her all of a sudden. He blinked in surprise for a moment before holding the bag out to her instead.

"Got a mix of German and Hispanic in there so, you have options at least" he said, still trying to figure out what was going on.

[white_oleander]

And before Astrid could even really blink her confusion in response to Kurt suddenly being there, she felt that meloncholy settling back in just as quickly as it had left her a moment ago, and she sighed, looking down and brushing her hair back behind her ear.

"Thanks," she said quietly. "I think I'm okay, though. I'm not...really hungry."

[furrybluefreak]

Kurt gave a slight huff of frustration and then shrugged and set the bag of food down on the table b the couch.

"Well, it's there if you change your mind..." he might had added the word 'again' under his breath there at the end

[white_oleander]

Look. Astrid really couldn't help it if she was feeling much more malleable in mood than usual today! Not that she really realized that yet, but....

She just sort if looked over at Kurt somberly for a moment, and nodded.

"Thanks," she said. "Again."

And after a quiet, awkward moment, she asked, "How's your day, Kurt?"

[furrybluefreak]

"Odd... at least... it seems to be."

Give the boy some credit. A few weeks into his stay on the island and this was what it decided to give him as his first Fandom weirdness experience.

[white_oleander]

And, really, his big sibling really hadn't done the best job of getting him prepared, either.

But she did beam at him in response, as if pleased by his answer.

"That's pretty much what you can expect!" she said brightly. "Around here."

[furrybluefreak]

"Will take your word for it, Big Sis" he said with a grin and wink, though he had no idea why he was winking at Astrid right then.

Harry walked into the room with Dumbledore. Yep, nothing to see here, just an old wizard in the dorms.

[white_oleander]

"Hey, Harry," said Astrid, who clearly found old wizards in the dorms to be quite the amusing novelty. "Who's your friend?"

[imawizard]

"Oh, that was Dumbledore," Harry sahd. "...I don't know why he was here."

[white_oleander]

Astrid was a little disappointed and surprised to see the old man disappear, turning her head and considering what that might mean.

She looked back at Harry. "Does he do that often?" she asked. "Just show up and then disappear without reason?"

[imawizard]

"He can if he wants to, but no," Harry said, pulling out his wand. "Is it dark in here? Lumos!"

No one needed that but okay.

Guillermo wasn’t to sure what was happening today only he seemed to be covered in blood and surrounded by dead bodies, “this is so weird!” he remarked as he looked at the chaos and destruction around him.

[white_oleander]

Well, that was certainly one way to make an entrance, and Astrid frowned at Guillermo as he walked in. "What happened?" she asked, already thinking of several potential answers, each of them seemingly gloomier and darker than the last.

[guillermothegreat]

“I..I’m not sure!” Guillermo blinked, “but I can look it up on my computer and see if there’s any answers?” now that his computer had appeared in front of him.
