Hermione's reached a point where she's just bored. She's out of things to read that she hasn't read a dozen times already, she's out of yarn for knitting, her workshops are almost over and they're not really the studying kind, and Crookshanks hasn't been around all day to play with. Not that he plays voluntarily, but shut up.

So this is why she's in the common room, resorting to the television. It may rot the brain, but at least it's noise. She turns it on, flipping channels, and... ooh.

Hermione's found the Discovery Channel. Someone should probably stop her before the addiction sinks in.

Current Mood: bored

Adam was feeling a bit tired when he made his way into the common room. He made himself a bowl of popcorn and turned on the television, looking for nothing in particular.

Which was why he was now staring at the television in what looked to be a mix of horror and genuine surprise. Adam really didn't know what to make of what he was seeing. "Abaranger?"

Yep, the boy was stunned and now wide awake.

[OOC: So very very open!]

Current Mood: tired

Aravis was curled up on the couch, watching the television with a faint mixture of horror and interest.

She had discovered cartoons tonight, you see, and there was a Looney Tunes marathon on.

She had to admit that she really didn't understand why anyone would trust these ACME people anymore, considering the faulty wares they sold.

And she was torn on whether she preferred that annoying, noisy bird, or the poor stupid dog thing that seemed to be indestructible.

[open as common rooms tend to be!]

Never leave decorating for a party to the mellow. There were some streamers tossed around and one of those fold-out crinkly hanging ball things dangling from a string that was duct taped to the ceiling. A stack of festive party hats tilted rather precariously on top of Jude's displaced stereo, which was playing something bouncy and probably from before he was born.

Food, however, was an excellent thing to leave to the mellow. Well, to the Jude anyway. A mismatched array of bowls held a mismatched yet delicious array of snacks and there were drinks of all kinds "liberated" from every common room that had anything in the fridge. Sadly, there were no milkshakes. Most of Jude's efforts had been put into the cake. The triple-layer (the base in chocolate, the middle slab in white, and the top in orange) cake decorated in as many clashing colours of icing as Jude could find. There was bright orange trim with purple and blue rosettes wherever he could fit them, and 'happy birthday, Rikku' in shaky cursive across the very top in hot pink. Sprinkles, marzipan, and gum drops were present in abundance. It was a cavity waiting to happen. And Jude was making sure no one touched it until all sixteen candles had been blown out.

Of course, until then, he was just going to sing "Sixteen Candles" to himself. A lot.

[[Rikku's impromptu birthday party is now open! OCD ~~coming~~ up, go and play!]]

Chris was up early and decided to take his cup of hot chocolate, his notes, and the Book of Shadows to the main campfire.

He still hadn't managed to figure out what was attacking people in the woods, and after last night's radio, he was more determined than ever to figure it out before more people got hurt. He wondered if anyone else had had any luck. He hoped that sitting in such a visible place, he'd run into them and be able to ask.

[ooc: open to all; but primarily for the researchers/finale folks. If you need to be recruited for the finale, this is one place you can be (Conner's post which will be going up later is the other). I'll be AFK from 11:30 EST to 5 EST for work, but Wyatt has complete modding rights over Chris and will be here to help organize things ICly. Any questions, feel free to drop either of us an email!]

[ETA: *KICKS LJ* I'm not getting comment notifications, sorry.]

It had been a long day at the Photo Hut. During his first ever shift, John had actually managed to read a few pages of his book. He thought that deserved some relaxation, so he sat poking the campfire with a stick, hoping to see some friendly faces.

[ooc: come say hi!]

Cally had her feet kicked up, a book in her hands, and was lounging, listening to her iPod.

Camping wasn't so bad, right?

[ooc: So very open!]

After making sure her replicates had set up her things in Chimera A4 ~~is that okay with everybody?~~ to her satisfaction, Z headed out to the campfire to see what was to be seen and finish off the last of her stolen pie. Mmm, pie.

((Open, as campfires tend to be.))

im-afrog.livejournal.com

Adam had finally arrived. He had made sure to check in, sample some apple pie and then dropped his belongings off ~~handwavily~~ at the cabin he'd been assigned to.

Now, he had decided to explore a little, starting with the dorms and the grounds. He wanted to get a feel for this place. So far, so good.

Adam had a feeling he was going to be meeting some interesting folks as the day went on.

[OOC: For the Power Rangers of Fandom! Kind of short, sorry... writer's block sucks.]

water-wonder.livejournal.com

Tori was camped out in the common room, attempting to study for finals. She only had one on Monday, so it wasn't so bad, but she wanted to at least brush up on the other two classes.

The television was on, and it just so happened that it landed on the Food Network. And it happened to be Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals. So now, instead of studying, Tori was watching intently, jotting down notes about what Rachel was making.

[OOC: OPEN!! Come hang, I'm around.]

At first, the sudden appearance of so many wee ones had caused Gwynn no small amounts of confusion.

There were so many... and they were attaching themselves to other students -- calling them Mom or Dad.

...

Okay. This was one of the weirdest things she had seen since coming to Fandom.

After getting over her shock at so many small children being in Fandom, she had started watching them... and being very relieved that no wee ones had shown up and called her Mum.

Currently, she was sitting out in the common room, watching people.

Marie was manning the table today. Juniors and Seniors could stop by to purchase tickets and all students could stop by to nominate for the Prom Court.

[ooc: Please use OCD! See note here about my avail. Nominate Juniors and Seniors for Prom Court here.]

notafairmaiden.livejournal.com

Gwynn was dressed in her best dress and her hair was carefully done. There was no sign of her usual leather wear or her boots. In fact, there was nothing with her that even looked like she was the daughter of Robin Hood. She was sitting on the couch with her legs tucked up under her and she was reading what might have been a magazine. From the slight blush on her face, it was obvious that it wasn't your run of the mill magazine.

[[OOC: Gwynn has been Mind-Whammied by Witch!Lana. Here would be the first place to run into her and have the wacky hijinks!]]

Current Mood: feminine and lusty

connernotconnor.livejournal.com

Conner was slouched in a chair in the lobby with T-Rex the laptop, idly web browsing and trying not to think too much about his embarrassing behavior with Gwynn a few days ago, when he got a ~~handwavey~~ email telling him to meet up with a few other people . . . hey, in the lobby. That was convenient. He kind of really didn't want Gwynn to get dragged back to ancient England and hanged, because that would suck.

He was still a little worried about the whole "human opponent" issue, though. He was totally fine beating up on a conglomeration of a shark, a flower, and car parts, but this was a little out of his comfort zone.

[OOC: Mainly for plotty folks, but hey, lobby and all, so open.]

connernotconnor.livejournal.com

It was NCAA basketball playoff season, so Conner had resigned himself to watching basketball on TV. Of course, basketball not being his favorite sport, he was watching the women's tournament.

Why?

Well, at least he could check out some cute girls while he watched a sport he really didn't care about . . .

[OOC: Open, despite the uninspiredness of my narrative!]

As Santa brushed crumbs from his fingers, he realized with growing panic that he had less than twelve hours to deliver presents. He walked quickly* towards the dorms and down to the basement, where he packed up his bag and slung it over his shoulder, ready to deliver gifts to the good boys and girls of Fandom.

*Santa never ran. It was undignified.

[ooc: Tannim thinks he's Santa. He's not wearing a costume, just walking around with a bag of "toys" and trying to get into all the rooms. If you want him to get into your room, please tag into the post with your room number and whether it's occupied when Santa arrives. You're also welcome to run into him in the hallways.

[ETA: It's afternoon when he's running around the dorms, but his delusional mind thinks it's later at night.]

Current Mood: jolly

Tori was situated on the couch, laptop in her lap and a bowl of popcorn next to her. The television was on, but she wasn't paying attention to what was on the screen.

She was browsing websites on surfing ~~what a surprise~~ to see if there were any competitions hosted near Fandom, for the spring. Tori wanted to get back in the water and she was up for competing, when the weather became more appropriate.

[OOC: Open as common rooms are!! <3! Company is welcome!]

Hunching down in the couch and trying to appear inconspicuous in a way that a six-foot-tall woman giant dressed in a leather skirt, man's dress shirt, and no bra or shoes, cannot, Seely flipped through the channels trying to find a movie to watch. He eventually settled on a taping of an amateur production of Twelfth Night.

[Open!]

Current Mood: uncomfortable

connernotconnor.livejournal.com

Apparently Conner was a glutton for punishment, or something, because here he was, in the common room, waiting for Relic Hunters Adventure Squad to start. He couldn't believe he was actually going to willingly subject himself to that theme song again, but it was sort of like a trainwreck. Besides, Bobbi and Lily were hot.

Also, he wanted to see if O'Reilly was going to be any less of a dork this week. Conner was very concerned with upholding the Red Ranger image. Even if they were fictional representations, see.

[OOC: Open 'n stuff, woo!]

l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com

Billy wasn't experienced with throwing parties. Fortunately this wasn't a party. There was pizza and soda, but that was it.

Except for the writing materials and even a sketchpad or two.

He wondered who would show up. Was there anyone else that he didn't know about?

slr-mercury.livejournal.com

Ami was taking it easy. And trying to figure out if anything from what she remembered is important. There was the map she saw on the wall of the corridor she was being dragged through.

Getting a piece of paper form her bag, she sat down on the couch and started sketching what she remembered of it.

[ooc: open, duh. come, ask about aliens :)]

water-wonder.livejournal.com

The hallway seemed to be somewhat quiet and peaceful, probably due to it being break and all. Suddenly, just like what happened last night, a humming noise could be heard and a blinding white light shone in the hallway.

The light disappeared and Tori was left on the floor, in a crumpled heap. She was wearing the clothes she had been in yesterday. Her hair was matted with blood and if someone was close enough, they could see she had bruises and cuts, on her arms and a few on her face, that would need to be looked at.

Her clothes seemed to be intact for the most part, except for her shirt being torn slightly at the shoulder and stomach. Her jeans had been ripped at the knees.

Tori lay in the hallway, alive but unconscious.

[OOC: Mainly for

connernotconnor. But open, if others want to see her in the hall.]

Current Mood: sore, hurt

Conner sprawled out on the couch, scowling at his cell phone as if he expected to be able to intimidate it into ringing. He still hadn't seen or heard back from Lana, which was starting to worry him; trying to convince himself that he was being paranoid was kind of difficult.

In an attempt to distract himself from worrying into a panic, he turned on the TV and started flipping through channels until -- wait, what?!? "No freaking way, he muttered, and turned the volume up just in time to hear . . .

"Coming up right after this, don't miss the hourlong world premiere of Relic Hunters Adventure Squad, the brand new series based on the true adventures of the Overdrive Power Rangers!"

"Hi there, what, excuse me?!?" sputtered Conner, sitting bolt upright and staring at the TV. "Overdrive, what? Who are these guys?" From the tone of his voice, you'd think he thought they were imposters or something.

"Yeah, he was going to be camping out right here for the next hour and a half, because this he had to see.

[OOC: Yes, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive premieres tonight, so I just couldn't help myself. Relic Hunters Adventure Squad is gonna be the meta for both OO and Boukenger; thanks to

blessed_twice and

untouchableskin for helping me come up with meta character names. The top thread is for certain people who know who they are, but otherwise wide open, as common rooms are!]

otherside-miley.livejournal.com

Miley was bored. Bored enough that she actually opened one of her school books to study.

That was enough to convince her that she was in serious need of some TV time. So she flopped onto the couch in the common room and started flipping channels.

"Oooh! Hollywood scandals!"

[Open like a common room]

lovelylana.livejournal.com

Lana wasn't sure if Conner was going to be joining her today since they hadn't discussed it, but she really needed to get out and run. So she's here, stretching and getting ready.

[OOC: Open to anyone who wants to go running with or stop by and talk to Lana.]

water-wonder.livejournal.com

Tori flopped onto the couch, deciding on the common room instead of her and Angela's room. She turned on the television and flipped through the channels, until ESPN caught her eye.

They were rerunning the surfing competitions from the 2003 Summer X Games. Tori grinned and watched with elation as Kelly Slater took to the waves.

And no, that wasn't Tori taking down notes on technique and style, while watching Kelly own the waves. ~~But it totally was.~~

[OOC: Open!! SP - heading out around 3PM EST for taping at school TV station!]

Current Mood: awake

Dawn's plan had been to go to J,GoB's in town and get some breakfasty things before Sam woke up, so she could yell at him for leaving her behind when he went to do dangerous demony things the night before on a full stomach. It was freezing, but it was just external cold and not the cold that had almost frozen her from the inside during the week, so she didn't mind so much.

That plan very quickly changed the first time she got hit in the head with a falling meatball. "What the--" She looked up as she watched the meatball roll away from her into the grass, and managed to avoid the second, and the third, but not the fourth or most of the ones after that.

So, she ran much more quickly into town and picked up some brownies, but mostly she invested in a bunch of sub rolls and some napkins. She stepped out of the bakery, brandishing the sub roll at the sky with vigor and a slightly maniacal gleam in her eyes. "Back! Back, if you don't want to be eaten!" Then she held another (open) roll over her head as she ran back to school.

Dawn dumped the bag of rolls on the floor of the lobby and headed out to catch herself some breakfast.

[ooc: Open to all. Feel free to catch your own meatball sub. If soda rain starts, feel free to say that cups are supplied as well.]

Setsuna was having a severe craving for bad kung-fu movies after finally finishing reading through the Sparrow Heart trilogy, so she went down to the common room with her copy of Expert of the Soaring Chopblock and curled up on the couch. After all, who could go wrong with a movie about a blind martial artist who's weapon was a lampshade imbedded with blades with which he decapitated his enemies?

There was a bowl of popcorn waiting if anyone wanted to join her.

[[ very open, though I may be slow-ish to respond at points ]]

After facing the shadows and succeeding in banishing them from Fandom and back to their world, Tori, thought extremely exhausted had a craving for hot chocolate.

And what was she currently doing? Making hot chocolate in the common room. She would definitely take a nice, long hot shower in a bit, but she wanted the cocoa first.

And lots of sleep were in order as well.

Tori hoped Annette, Cam and the others were okay, since everyone seemed to be slowly turning back to normal. She had noticed the bit of warmth gathered after the shadows had been defeated. So, hopefully, it was being given back to everyone who had been attacked.

[OOC: Open for everyone!! Still wide awake after plotty goodness!! SP is welcome (since I'll probably head to be around 2:00 AM EST)!]

Current Mood: tired

water-wonder.livejournal.com

Not wanting to stay in her room any longer, Tori walked into the common room, her comforter wrapped tightly around her.

She took a seat on the couch and huddled up in a ball, still chilled. She didn't want to be alone, she hoped people would flock to the common room, which they usually did.

It was really freaky, what had happened and she wondered who else beside her and Annette had been attacked.

[OOC: Open post!!!]

Current Mood: drained

water-wonder.livejournal.com

Tori, feeling a tiny bit restless, decided to change scenery and move from her room to the common room, bringing her laptop with her.

She took a seat on the couch and opened up her e-mail, attempting to write a detailed e-mail to the guys. There was just so much to describe, so much had happened and she had met so many people.
Tori stared at the screen, her fingers hovering over the keys.

Oh yeah, it was going to be a long e-mail.

[OOC: Open as common rooms are! Come interrupt her! I know I put this up kind of late, whoops. SP is love!]

Current Mood: thoughtful

lovelylana.livejournal.com

Lana was out on time, stretching and warming up, wondering if Conner was going to show up. She wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

[OOC: Lana's waiting to go running with Conner, but anyone's welcome to stop by and say hello before or after.]

Polexia slept in late after her night out at Caritas.

But when she woke up, she was bored and ended up wandering down to the common room. She figured out how to work the television and was very excited to find something called MTV that was showing music videos.

She dug through the cabinets and fridge and found some suitable snacks and settled in to watch this fascinating thing.

[open, as common rooms are. Marie is Polexia from Almost Famous, so she's from the early 70s. She also doesn't have Marie's mutation, so she's not covered up and she can touch people.]

water-wonder.livejournal.com

Tori walked into the common room, unable to sleep after having encountered her friends, who were somehow different personalities. It made no sense. And she felt like Lothor would show up any minute... she almost wished he would, because it would explain what was going on in Fandom.

She crashed onto the couch with a sigh, wondering just what the hell was happening here.

Tori figured she might contact Cam and see if he had any theories and if there had been any activity at the Abyss of Evil.

[OOC: So totally OPEN!]

Current Mood: confused

After finally being released from Detention, Nefertiri went down to the salle to practice with her knives and staves. Perhaps the naked dancing boys are down there. They had to be somewhere, after all.

She stripped down to her loincloth and camisole, and began a series of passes with her knives, mask in place.

water-wonder.livejournal.com

Tori entered the gym and finding the punching bag to be unoccupied, she smiled. She started laying into it, still somewhat reeling over the fact that she'd tried out for the cheerleading team.

Not that cheerleading was a bad thing, she wasn't thinking that at all, just that she'd never imagined doing something like that. It was just... different.

After going at the punching for a bit, she'd hit the mats and go through some routines she'd learned at the Wind Ninja Academy.

[OOC: Post is open. Obviously the gym is open! :) SP is love.]

lovelylana.livejournal.com

Lana got out to the gates a little early to be sure she had enough time to stretch out well before she and Conner went running. It was chilly, but all-in-all not a bad day for running.

[OOC: For running with Conner, but feel free to stop by and chat while Lana's stretching out or ask to tag along as they they run.]

l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com

There were Pizza rolls fresh from the oven, and billy was idly munching on some with a pad of paper on his lap, and something on the TV. He was jotting things down on the paper and not really paying much attention until the announcer said:

Tonight on Larry King Live, we talk to General Clayton Abernathy, former commander of the recently de-classified Anti-Terrorist Task-Force code named, G.I.Joe.

Billy facepalmed. Man that was a lot of hyphens.

billy will very much not mind changing the channel.

swerval_zero

After realizing she hadn't taken her turn at feeding the voracious hordes recently, Zero made a trip down to Ching Tai and returned with prodigious amounts of Chinese takeout, which she set up in the common room. Then she helped herself to some ginger chicken and lounged around watching "Mighty Capin' Justice Magicians" on the TV. Her good deed for the day was done.

((Open to all, as common rooms usually are. :D))

bridge-carson.livejournal.com

It's the last day before classes start, and Bridge is... reading. Go figure. He's curled up on a couch in the common room, absorbed in a comic book. ~~But not literally, that was a previous season's episode.~~

Chris decided to make himself comfortable in the common room and flipped through the TV channels until he hit on the football playoffs.

Number 6 was peering over the edge of the roof with a pair of field glasses, taking notes on the students passing by and jotting down suspicious behavior. He would find out which were the prisoners and which were the wardens...

[OOC: Ping to the OCD "Being Watched" thread if you want 6 to see you on the school lawn and what your character is doing as they are idly passing by. No action is too mundane for suspicion. Obviously, the roof is also open for your interactiony needs.]

ETA: [And 6 has fled the roof! OMG can't keep that up, peoples. You're all completely awesome. No new pings to 6 in the threads (I will continue his existing interactions). Roof remains open for all non-6 conversation.]

Current Mood: suspicious

untouchableskin.livejournal.com

Marie realized that she hadn't met any new people yet. She had seen the signs for Anders and Nadia's party, but she didn't think she was ready to be quite that sociable yet.

So she settled in to the common room with some pizza and the season one Wendy the Werewolf Stalker DVDs that she had picked up ages ago and never watched.

[open, as common rooms are. I do not have the mental capacity to handle the insanity of the evil pink pony party tonight!]

saltandammo.livejournal.com

Well supplied with popcorn and munchies, Dean settled down in front of the tv to watch a monster movie marathon he stumbled upon. There were a lot worst ways to spend an evening, he thought with a contented sigh.

Katara had woken up early and slipped out of her dorm room quietly. She considered going outside for a moment, but she decided to explore the floor she'd ended up on.

Finding herself in a big open room with several couches and tables and quite a few big boxes she had no idea about, she up a small floppy book made out of shiny paper and began to flip through it, looking at the pictures.

[OOC: Open as a Common Room is. Though I might be under periods of SP as it's my first day back at work after a week.]

water-wonder.livejournal.com

Tori found that she couldn't sleep any longer, so grabbing a book and a blanket, she moved out into the common room.

She sat down to read and just mull over her first day at Fandom High. And perhaps she'd get to meet even more people today. At that thought, she couldn't help but smile.

[OOC: Open to everyone! SP for a bit since I'm going to be running about for a little.]

Current Mood: bouncy

nadiathesaint

Nadia had not gotten around to meeting very many of the new students, but found herself in no hurry to do so, instead lazily lying about for most of the day, other than tracking down her new 'little sister' (who, ironically, she suspected was probably older than she was). That done, she was now hanging out in the common room, a plate of perfectly ordinary pumpkin empanadas cooling on a plate in the middle of the table while she watched a rerun of the second Galaxy Quest series and wondered at that Jane Doe actress.

[ooc: open for anyone who might not yet be sick of interactions and things]

lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com

After a very full day of chasing a small puppy through the ball pit in the closet and feeding and entertaining Berthold, Dawn was stretched out on the floor on her side, watching the DVDs of Wormhole X-treme that Molly had given her for Christmas.

"Okay, no one dies that many times..."

[ooc: Open!]

connernotconnor.livejournal.com

Conner would never admit it to anyone, but he had a massive weak spot for cute fuzzy animals.

Which would be why he was sprawled across a couch in the common room, fingers dangling down into a huge bowl of popcorn, while a documentary about pandas played on some science channel or other.

He was more or less devouring popcorn by the handful as he watched. But not because he was hungry, oh no.

Because if his mouth was full of popcorn it was harder to let out an undigified squee.

willbedone.livejournal.com

Willow and Bridge had wanted to have a Hanukkah party and by god they were having a Hanukkah party.

Arranged around the 5th floor common room were blue and white decorations, the menorah that Peter had given to Willow, dreidles and gelt to play with, latkes (aka potato pancakes), Sufganiyot (not unlike jelly donuts), beef brisket, and an assortment of fried products that covered the gamut from cheese to zucchini to a variety of fritters and even more donuts because frankly you couldn't have too many of those in Willow's opinion.

Marie was also there, setting up the coffee and pastries provided by the Student Council.

Willow then hung up a banner saying "HAPPY HANUKKAH! (AND FINALS!)" and felt satisfied at a job well done. She then sat down to enjoy herself.

[ooc: ~~OCD a-coming~~ Up! Note the OOC for my availability =)]
